Hi,
So in case you don't know, Godzilla is a symbolic representation for problems facing humanity. And some of you that have known me know that I've studied our societies "Godzillas" for over 18 years and have always worked and lived trying to fight against and educate people on things and threats facing them. So you can only imagine how it feels for someone who understand to come face to face with the "big lizard"... everything I thought I knew about the threats facing humanity was true and in an instant in the Summer of 2007 and again in Summer 2010 I lost everything, my home, my future, my family, my friends, everything gone.
Toho entertainment made two great movies that sum up the "Godzilla" that face us all right now. Godzilla against MechaGodzilla from 2002 and Godzilla: Tokyo SOS from 2003... two of the only true "sequels" in the Godzilla series. In these two wonderful movies you see characters coming to grips with the reality of lose and the treat Godzilla poses to themselves and everyone they care about. Like the main character in Godzilla against MechaGodzilla, all the trainings, all the knowledge could not have saved her from losing everything.... I too understand this. And in the movie she is forced with the help of a small child that says "... it's enough to just be alive" to come to grips with living alone and without those hopes and dreams destroyed. I have taken the past 3 and 1/2 years and slowly I am learning to live alone and learning to live just to stay alive and accept that my future ended so many years ago but I have to keep going"just to be alive". I encourage all those thinking of suicide or of giving up to watch Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and Godzilla Tokyo SOS
