How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Godzilla.
Quote #7
SERIZAWA: Ogata, it's working. I hope you two will be happy. Farewell.
Lots of anti-war movies end on a somber note. Think of Full Metal Jacket ending, with soldiers singing the Mickey Mouse song as the world burns around them. Or All Quiet on the Western Front's death of Paul Bäumer.
Godzilla, in contrast, ends on a hopeful (if slightly corny) note. Serizawa's weapon works and defeats Godzilla. Ogata and Emiko are now able to be together and be part of the reconstruction of Japan.
