The article discusses the Japanese film "Godzilla Minus One," which is a homage to the original 1954 film "Gojira" (Godzilla). The film explores the human costs of war and offers insights into early post-war Japan and the complexity of the nation's war memories. It follows the story of a Navy Tokko pilot who fails to complete a suicide mission during World War II and experiences post-traumatic stress disorder upon his return to Japan. The film critiques the inhumanity faced by soldiers and emphasizes the importance of survival, life, and love in post-war nation-building. It also addresses the ongoing debates in Japan about how the war should be taught and interpreted. The film reframes Japan's relationship with its wartime past and highlights the need for a coalition of people pursuing pacifism to prevent the reawakening of destructive ideologies.
