Why GODZILLA (1954) is the Best Monster Movie Ever Made
Welcome Back! Today I am delving into one of my favorite films of all time, 1954's Godzilla (or Gojira). Many people, especially in the West, view Godzilla as a funny, unserious concept, but the original film is a deeply sorrowful exploration of the dangers of nuclear testing and the mourning of the Japanese people from the atomic bomb. I hope you all enjoy this anaylsis!

    I've been watching a lot of classic horror films this month (since I haven't seen a lot of them) and Halloween made a great impact on me. Not my personal favorite but it is undeniably iconic. You can see its DNA in basically any slasher after it. And despite that, there is something really unique and chilling about Halloween's atmosphere... I didn't know exactly what it was but your vid hit the nail right on the head for me.

    Death of the autuor is valid but only really applies to certain forms of ananlysis. For example in technical/trope analysis the authors intent is important too find where tropes are used and why. And in any ongoing work the authors intention is important as it will decide whats true in future works in the same series. And then theres theorising where the whole point is to guess the authors hiden intent

    there's a difference between slow and boring. Figures In A Landscape (1970) is a slow burn masterpiece. Jeanne Dielmann (1975) is boring, unwatchable garbage that shouldn't even exist.

  • @signorpafnuzio

    Rephrasing the title: "death. learning to love the lyrical beauty of death". In other words, just because some "directors" do not know how to make a film and, thus, they film everything, assuming you will be that gullible to go looking for a hidden where there is none, does not mean there is beauty in it. Beauty does not come from void, for there is NOTHING in the void. There is no need to "learn to love boredom", as there is no need to "learn to love death". Boredom is... boring, and boredom is the total opposite of "beauty". Artists do not use boredom to make beautiful stuff - they make beautiful stuff to avoid boredom. As for all the names inside this video, whom some think that might represent great film directors... well, there is something that describes them all and their pseudo-aesthetics of boredom. It is ""the emperor's new clothes". Those clothes that weere so beautiful that only the very bright ones could see and understand them - and why was that? Because those clothes were not there. Tarkovski or Kubrick, dressed and rapped in the incredible void of boredom, acclaimed by "intelliogent" people as being "goregeous" and "amazing". learn to love boredom. PS There is a way something might come out of such a movie. Your psychiatrist might prescribe it together with sleeping pills, for a consolidated effect. "Take these, every night, before sleep, while watching Antonioni/Tarkovski/Resnais etc You will sleep like a baby, in maximum 30 minutes.". That was my reaction to "Stalker" and "A clockwork orange", at the first attempt of watching (and I took no sleeping pills, so...).

    Ppl can get into different debates a horror films such as black Christmas, psycho, texas chainsaw , and scream. Lets cut the bs Halloween is the superior film and always will be. $300,000 budget with a gross of 70 million in 1978 was unheard of. I've watched all of the horror films and Halloween 1978 surpasses all period point blank. Cut the bs

      It's all subjective, of course. But I don't think there's any question that MORE people would rank Halloween as the greatest than any other movie of its' kind. As I've said before...what The Sound of Music was to musicals...what The Godfather was to gangster films...what Star Wars was to sci-fi....what The Karate Kid was to martial arts...what Titanic was to disaster films...Halloween is to horror. Even people who don't usually like horror or slasher movies will often love Halloween. But it's also revered within the horror community. That's rare.

    A Slow film can be extremely boring if you do not see the point of the content. Content in film is everything and is different for every viewer. Chantal Ackerman's greatest film is slow but not Slow like in ' Jeanne D. ' I was bored by this film but not by ' The Captive ' ( her great film for me ) and it is based on parts of Proust's ' In Search of Lost Time. ' It is a slow film as is ' Ruiz's ' Time Regained, ' again based on the last part of ' In search of Lost Time. ' Proust is Slow and is perfect for slow cinema.

    In my opinion this is the greatest horror film of all time because they made an iconic horror film without all the gore and the blood there is an actual story behind this people might think it’s boring but they don’t understand most people think that horrors are just about blood and gore and gruesome kills but this showed that horror films doesn’t need to be like that what makes this film so good is the creepiness and eeriness you really care about Laurie and it’s not often that you care about a character in horror films she was the original scram queen and let’s not forget this has the most iconic theme tune off all time in my opinion and the most iconic mask
