Godzilla Minus One
This is a cool looking war movie where the enemy is Godzilla, avoiding all moral qualms. The politics of the whole thing are iffy, but it doesn’t seem so jingoistic as its critics say, it explicitly rejects death cults of the kamikaze. The woman get the short end of the stick, but it’s a war film set in the 40’s, that’s expected.
It absolutely deserves the Oscar for special effects, makes modern Marvel crap seem like The Lawnmower Men. That is simple to explain, the film was already designed by the time they shot and then animated it, there were no re-shoots not focus groups that change the design half way, and the the director is directly involved. Everything is dome in house, instead of outsourced to the lowest bidder. You get what you pay for.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
