Even Oscar winners – Godzilla turns 70: that’s why the hype is bigger than ever

Date:

He destroys cities, feasts on nuclear energy, is a kind of tourism ambassador for the Japanese capital Tokyo, has a star on Hollywood Boulevard and is an Oscar winner: the radioactive giant lizard Godzilla celebrated his 70th birthday this year. Krone+ about the transformation of the feared lizard into an environmental activist, her best films – and her golden future.

Godzilla, the terrible lizard, has accompanied the author all his life – he only has half of it. True, in the meantime she had lost her fear – from a ruthless monster and destroyer of entire cities, Godzilla over the course of his history became a friend of humanity, averting even worse things in the battle against other monsters called Kaijus. Godzilla films went from horror to family films, but later became more terrifying. On his 70th birthday, the star of 38 films – 33 Japanese and five American – is more versatile than ever and a global phenomenon. Travel with us to its origins.
