In this day and age, the majority english written material on tokusatsu eiga has been writen by American otaku. Very rarely does one find a piece composed by a Japanese tokusatsu otaku which is eye opening. Today is an exception - for all of you who read this blog. By clicking the link below, you will go to a page which in adobe format is an english language version of the paper "Signs Taken For Monsters: What Made Godzilla So Angry Then" by Hiromi Nakano. In this paper, you will be exposed to a great analysis of GMK with the fallowing:
-look into some alternate dialogue from the GMK script
-where Kazunori Ito got his ideas
-information from rare information sources, such as the "GAMERA PERFECT BOX" (a limited 2 book set)
-and alot more!
Happy reading and make sure to leave a comment!
A very well researched and written article. Too bad Varan and Anguirus couldn't have been in the film, instead of Mothra and King Ghidorah. Varan and Anguirus would have been a much better fit for the guardians of old. The Godzilla art at the head of this article,who is that by and is there a link to more of their work ?
