2. Hey! I was a Godzilla fan, too!

Even today I have a two-DVD set with the original Japanese movie, “Gojira” on one disc and “Godzilla” (with Raymond Burr) on the other.

So there!

But really, I have a question that has plagued me for some 50 years: what’s with the “oxygen destroyer” that kills Godzilla? I know it would suffocate him but how does it reduce him to bones? How is tissue destroyed by removing the oxygen, but the bones remain intact?

Oxygen Destroyer is activated at 2'00"
Godzilla transforms from flesh and tissue to bones at 3'10"

Occurred to me there are many Japanese films, I have seen where the main character sacrifices themselves for loved ones, or for the good of the village, town, country etc. Its not uncommon. In-fact, in the United States we are always used to having the HAPPY ENDING..but in most Asian films, the ending is not always a happy one. Tragedies are almost always expected in many Japanese films. Even in Anime, some of my favorite Characters were killed at the end. They know the odds of surviving a disaster, and even a sad ending can be a good one, sometimes.

4. Godzilla is smarter, smells better and is less of a danger to cheeseburgers.

5. I wonder if Jane Goodall ever studied Christie.

He looks like one of her gorilla friends.
