“Godzilla lovers to this day still wonder precisely what attracts them. Part of the appeal is the surprising sophistication in what seems at first glance to be simple-minded Saturday matinee fare. In the wreckage left in the wake of this awesome beast lies the tattered remains of human hubris, a moral lesson left smoldering in the ruins. As series producer Tomoyuki Tanaka put it, “As long as the arrogance of human beings exists, Godzilla will survive.”

“Of the great German movie phantoms such as Caligari, Nosferatu and the Golem, only Mabuse inhabits the same world as the spectator; of literary monsters who have become lasting cinematic icons, figures like Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster and Jekyll and Hyde, only Mabuse hails from a twentieth century novel, about the twentieth century.”
