Shin Godzilla
Hideaki Anno & Shinji Higuchi
At once a love letter and harsh indictment of 
contemporary Japan, Shin Godzilla is simply one of the 
most brilliant movies I have ever seen. Giant monster 
movies have always fascinated me for their ability to 
offer insight into national and international 
decisionmaking. How *would* a government respond to 
the sudden emergence of a multi-skyscraper tall 
radioactive lizard? How do you even begin to consider 
a response? Shin Godzilla deftly tackles these 
questions, while remaining fundamentally hopeful for 
our shared future. It's difficult to not view the 
movie as a parable for catastrophic climate change, 
and watching this has made me severely disappointed 
with the American Godzilla franchise. Just let Aaron 
Sorkin direct one. Please. Please let him.
