Godzilla
Godzilla had always held a special place in my heart. The first time I had ever watched the movie, it was the 1998 American reboot of the Japanese version. I don't really recall the details of the movie, but at the conclusion of the film, I started to cry. I remember my Sister asking me why I was crying and I said, "Godzilla isn't a monster. She was just trying to get to her babies. Why did they have to kill her."
And I kept crying and bawling over this tragic notion of death, completely unaffected & unfazed by the destruction of mankind, but completely devastated over the turmoil and pain exerpeinced by this "monster." I remember I wouldn't stop crying until my Sister drew me a picture of Godzilla and promised me Godzilla will continue to live on in my memories.
That being said, I guess it shows how creepingly humane and mentally developed I was when I was 8 years old. After watching the remake of Godzilla in this 2014 film, I guess I wasn't alone. They portrayed Godzilla as the hero and they let him live in the end. It was exactly how I always felt about Godzilla, all those many years ago. Although I was confused by this new plot, I guess people now will no longer understand why it's perplexing to hear a child cry over Godzilla getting hurt, if he's portrayed as the hero and not the monster.
It's okay Godzilla. I will always know I was one of the earliest people who believed in you first.
