@school.of.rob: In 1954 Ishiro Honda conceived of Godzilla to represent not only the suffering in the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but the irradiation of the Lucky Dragon, a Japanese fishing vessel. Honda witnessed first hand the horrors of nuclear destruction, forced to pass through Hiroshima after the Japanese were defeated.
