60th Anniversary Screenings
Even after 60 years,
Godzilla remains one of the most recognizable
icons of Japanese pop culture and an important part
of film history. As an allegorical symbol for nuclear weapons,
the enraged, yet sympathetic monster-of-all-monsters
rampages for the sake of self-preservation. The not-so-subtle
cautionary tale shows what can happen when technology
is misguided. This 1954 film launched a franchise that
totaled 28 films by Japan’s Toho Co., multiple film remakes
worldwide, and other media incarnations including comic
books and video games. (2K DCP presentation)
Please note, this is new restoration of 'uncut' Godzilla; the original Japanese release. The film is in Japanese language with English subtitles.
Free for children 12 years of age
and younger.
