WOW! they not only created a whole gringovision mansplaining movie around #Gojira, it's obvious they slowed it down, so that you could see more of what the monster is doing.

the whole point of #Gojira is that you couldn't see so well, and even though he was huge, with the cover of darkness, it was like Dracula sneaking up on people.

#Godzilla #KOTM

so there's a riverboat scene in the original #Gojira that they need to keep in this whitesplaining version. so they kept the scene but i think they changed the music. it sounds now very Spongebobby, LOL

BTW the fucking disrespect at Wikipedia! they do not credit Frank Iganawa, who is basically the "native translator" for Burr's character.

LMAO white man Steve Martin is in the middle of a japanese fishing village and he's wearing a colonel Sanders suit

this is horrible in amazingly orientalist ways. i wonder if Said ever wrote about the Godzilla movies.

LMAO so they're building with #Godzilla #KOTM a whole "from the point of view of the white man" movie around the original #Gojira.

this is fascinating on an anthropological level

you can tell this is an American movie because there are waaaaaay less actors involved. Americans are usually cheap when it comes to hiring actors as background and especially if it demanded non-European looking actors.
