Fun fact: The reason why Gojira was supposed to be an allegory for nuclear weapons was because the director of the film stated that if Gojira was a regular monster it would’ve been taken out by the military easily. Gojira was meant to represent the indestructible power of a nuclear weapon and that almost nothing can stop it.

Literally I’m no joking, the opening scene in Gojira (the first Godzilla film in 1954) is an almost reenactment of the lucky dragon #5 incident. They knew a test was happening but thought they were out of range the government told them, but the bomb proved to be way more powerful than expected.

@RichyArg 4 месяца назад

@ravenquinn7774 4 месяца назад

@@Tommy-tz7hm no, the scientists working on the project warned the military to expand the zone, due to the lithium 7 isotope. The military had their own "experts" conclude the yield would only be 5-6 megatons and ignored it. even then, it was still higher than what the scientists predicted, mostly because lithium 7 when hit with enough energy doesnt decay into lithium 8, but instead undergoes fission and releases both alpha and gamma particles, a tritium nucleus, and high energy neutrons, causing the matric of fusion in the bomb to go out of control. not to mention they were also warned of the dangerous windflow that day for fallout and proceeded anyways. it was just all in all a really really bad situation caused by rushing and fear.

The actual name of the test was "Castle Bravo" if the reader is interested. Essentially an uncalculated boost in the reactivity under fusion caused the explosion to be multiple times bigger than the military expected. Coupled with winds and weather and irradiated coral from the atol was spread over a large swathe of sea, including one inhabitated island.

Seem a bit insensitive to make a movie so soon after a real life tragedy. But it's also clear that the movie was made to showcase the seriousness of the bombs. So good on the film makers for making a difference.

@HalfHumanYoutube Месяц назад

Woah woah, it’s not that the memories were too painful for people to want to talk about it, it’s that the media in Japan was completely banned from discussing the bombings during the US occupation. It was one of the reasons why the rest of the world never really grasped how horrifying the aftermath of atomic warfare was.

There were 2 movie made in Japan in the early 1950's about the affects of the nuclear bombs on Japan. One, 'Children of Hiroshima' (1952) depicts a teacher returning to the city 4 years later. The other is 'Hiroshima' (1953). It was produced by the teacher's union and set in the day and immediate aftermath of the bombing in the city. I recall seeing both of these films on TCM several years ago. The creation of the Godzilla films were likely inspired by these films.
