Review of Godzilla (2014) by Patrick M — 26 Jan 2015

( So much to say on this, copy/pasting from other places I started raving on. I feel there is a lot to be said about this film that no one else seems to be saying, so I will keep adding to this over time) The Mutos resemble a composite of symbolically "evil" or "nefarious".

Animals, but primarily they are insects. Insects evoke a primal fear or.

"give us the creepy crawlies" for several reasons - primarily, the way they.

Move seems unatural, alien, or erratic to us - chaos, fear of the unknown -.

But moreover, there is a strong possibility that they have no consciousness.

- they operate based on pure motorized instinct: hunt, mate, eat, breed,.

Poop, avoid pain - they will crawl on us, suck our blood, invade our homes,.

Lay eggs in our potato salad... the Mutos in this Movie are motivated to.

Feed on our power plants and other sources of radiation, and to mate with.

Each other. They have no regard for human life or the damage they cause as.

A result. They are the vold, unfeeling, uncaring aspect of nature. Godzilla.

On the other hand represents something higher, a benevolent force, which ar.

First may seem frightening, and does leave a trail of destruction as he.

Carries out his purpose... but Godzilla is designed based on two primary.

Animals: a dinosaur - ancient, primal, awesome and powerful, evocative and.

Inspiring - the American Godzilla is unique in that his design is based on.

The most ferocious and powerful predator native to the U.S.: the grizzly.

Bear. Dangerous yes, and not to be trifled with. But bears are intelligent.

And they care for their young, exist in equilibrium with their environment,.

And can empathize with man - though it is better to keep ones distance and.

Just let them be bears.
