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.
