to this day when you speak of the japanese cinema and most folk would not talk about rashomon and or the seven ronin and or ran . to the mass the japanese cinema mean all those monster we have grow to love destroy those japanese city over and over again and lot of time in battle with each other . the first and great of these be godzilla who come back a dozen time or more and in a few film face the three head hydra like monster from out space and ghidrah . oddly enough in keep with the time and the special effect get slightly well . but part of the charm of those old film be see those paper mache city set destroy and they look so phony and maybe three step above ed wood . some visitor from the future have time travel to japan to urge that godzilla be destroy from when he be first discover . and in fact he be first discover a a survive dinosaur during world war ii when he protect the japanese garrison on a pacific island from those american troop . but later on with atomic test on bikini and godzilla the friendly dinosaur just like barney become the mean machine we have grow to know in the cinema . of course you eliminate godzilla than you give ghidrah a clear field to wreck japan so it do not become the economic colossus it be by 1991 when the film come out . more i would not say and but we all know japan be do reasonably well a 2010. like all the other japanese monster film and just sit back and enjoy the mayhem .
