‘Godzilla' Was a Metaphor for Hiroshima, and Hollywood Whitewashed It
Radioactive monster Godzilla stomps through a city and eats a commuter train in a scene from “Godzilla, King of the Monsters!” directed by Ishiro Honda and Terry O. Morse, 1956. The film is actually a reedited version of the 1954 film “Gojira,” directed by Honda, with several new scenes added which were directed by Morse.
