Godzilla doesn't appear a ton in...Thanks, bud!<br /><br />Godzilla doesn't appear a ton in the original. He does have the more memorable scenes, obviously. But out of a 96 minute film, you probably see Godzilla for maybe 10-15 minutes of that in total. Like I mentioned, this film is more about the human characters. Godzilla is just the glue that holds the narrative together. And I've heard about his lack of appearance in the new film. Honestly, I don't mind that. I think Godzilla should only be used when necessary. <br /><br />Yeah, I don't know what happened later on when it came to American distribution. I think it's that elitist cultural thing where we can't have that strange music in our American films. Or maybe they felt they could make more money by changing things. Don't get the film industry sometimes.<br /><br />Yeah, the Hays Code was really bad when it came to morality. I do remember that scene, ha! Yeah, that was pretty messed up. Things were too black and white back then.Fred [The Wolf]https://www.blogger.com/profile/03208803636786210066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717349721694216715.post-58080179808920922912014-05-16T01:26:43.703-04:002014-05-16T01:26:43.703-04:00Great post!

I'm curious because from what I've heard, he only has a couple of scenes in the new movie.<br /><br />It seems like this was the Godzilla film least fucked up by American distributors. Their butchering of the later movies is already annoying, but they even removed the Akira Ifikube scores and replaced them with low-grade archive music for some reason.<br /><br />The Hays code really was some fucked up shit! I remember in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, where because villains/criminals always HAD to die, the evil scientist chick Abbott has a crush on gets hurled out a window to her death! Jesus, and I thought it was a lighthearted comedy!Chris Hewsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566568274862884325noreply@blogger.com
