Fun fact: The reason why Gojira was supposed to be an allegory for nuclear weapons was because the director of the film stated that if Gojira was a regular monster it would’ve been taken out by the military easily. Gojira was meant to represent the indestructible power of a nuclear weapon and that almost nothing can stop it.

Just one thing: the OG Gojira released on November 3rd, not in October, which is why Japan celebrates Godzilla day on November 3rd.

The lucky dragon incident as well as the bombs were both the influences for the film, As the incident stoked the fear of similar bombings happening again which is why so much of the imagery in the first film invokes both events.

Literally I’m no joking, the opening scene in Gojira (the first Godzilla film in 1954) is an almost reenactment of the lucky dragon #5 incident. They knew a test was happening but thought they were out of range the government told them, but the bomb proved to be way more powerful than expected.

Fun fact, Godzilla minus one actually expands on a story about not Godzilla, but the crew trying to kill him, but it obviously fails

The first Godzilla movie came out 7 months after its inspirational incident? Damn Japanese filmmakers were fast in the fifties.

I actually did know this! I made it as a part of a project I did in high school showing how many story tellers use their own lives, experiences, and events during their lifetime as inspiration for their stories.

Fun fact: 1954 Goji was gonna have a head like a mushroom cloud, to emphasise Godzilla’s relation to nuclear weapons.

Another thing that led to it was Indonesia refusing filmmaker visas for the planned 1954 movie(In the Shadow of Glory), Tanaka read about the lucky dragon incident after returning from Indonesia in an attempt to try and get In the Shadow of Glory greenlit
He would then pitch the movie which would become Gojira, and filming was tight, and when it premiered that November(not October) it caused people to run out of the theatre that was being attacked on-screen, thinking it was being attacked

The actual name of the test was "Castle Bravo" if the reader is interested.

Essentially an uncalculated boost in the reactivity under fusion caused the explosion to be multiple times bigger than the military expected. Coupled with winds and weather and irradiated coral from the atol was spread over a large swathe of sea, including one inhabitated island.

I'm glad that Godzilla Minus One won the Oscar. Woefully over do for Hollywood acknowledging this Great franchise.

Lucky Dragon V, has got to be history's most intentional verbal irony.

It wasn’t because of trauma that people didn’t talk about the bombings, it was actively censored in the media by the military government

He made and pushed out that movie in only 7 months? That is nuts.

Always loved the scene where Godzilla acknowledged Japan's painful past

This video prompted me to do some research. Apparently the US sent $2 million after the incident, and the sitting government just pocketed most of it, only distributing around $5,000-$10,000 per surviving crew member....

Sorry, have to gush because I'm literally writing an article on this: the original movie pitch was heavily inspired by an American monster movie about an irradiated sea creature and it was originally supposed to be an octopus! The director was basically doing this silly derivative work as a paycheck, but as they developed the more somber tone and the sympathetic G, as it was originally nicknamed, everyone on the project became more invested in telling a story that reflected their experiences.
