ODD, BIZARRE, PSYCHEDELIC, BUT FOR SOME REASON A TRULY ENJOYABLE GODZILLA FILM WITH A SERIOUS MESSAGE.................
|
A strange Godzilla movie. I saw "Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster" in the movies in 1972. The dubbing is not very good, but the high definition remastering is incredible despite some of the movies dark lighted scenes. The anomorphic widescreen presentation of this film is awesome. "Save The Earth" is not sung in english (RATS!!!!) as it is sung in Japanese, it does'nt matter as I know the words from my childhood days. Yoshimitsu Bano the director of Smog Monster would be directing this movie as it would be his last for Toho Pictures. Yoshimitsu Banno angered Toho studios so much because they wanted a child orientated Godzilla movie. What Banno gave them was a crying baby trapped in the Hedorahs deadly sludge, knowing full aware that the baby was eventually to die. Another disturbing scene was when Hedorah flies over some people they are incinerated and turn to bones. A crying cat in a night club was trapped in sludge as you were aware of its final outcome. The drug, pot smoking hippies were cool in their night club scene with their dancing to the Psychedelic lighted back drop. The thing that was really interesting and facinating was the animated explanations about the Hedorah and pollution. The music score by Riichiro Manabe for this movie was really cool and far out there. My favorite part of the music score was towards the end when Godzilla flies after Hedorah (the drum roll as Godzilla takes off and than the big horns and the organ rip as Godzilla catches up to Hedorah).
Toho was concerned about offending children with this Godzilla release due to some graphic scenes. No Godzilla movie before Smog Monster was ever as graphic and offensive as this one, and this was in my opinion Godzillas whimp stage in his movie career as Toho tried to make Godzilla more human like to appeal more to children. What a mistake that was, as I am not crazy about the Godzilla mask in this installment of the Godzilla films. If you look when Godzilla is wallowing in the mud pit that Hedorah dropped him in, you could see the Godzilla mask from "Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster 1966". This is definintly not one of my favorite Godzilla movies but I enjoyed this movie for it's message about pollution and its dark message of profit despite the pollution it creates. This same message (pollution) was used in Godzilla Vs. Mothra (1964) but clearly more visible in Smog Monster. I also enjoyed the creativity that went into the production of this movie. Yoshimitsu Banno presented a grim message about pollution and was banned from Toho pictures after "Godzilla Vs. Hedorah" but he really tackled a growing pollution problem in Japan at the time of this pictures production and release. There are no extra materials on this dvd release, but it is worth buying for the high definition widecreen presentation and clear sound. "Godzilla Vs. Hedorah" is embarassing at times, but an oddly, facinating, interesting Godzilla movie. Even Godzilla was a Hippie, HAA!!, HAA!!, HAA!!, HAA!!............ |
