Viewing Notes

Few things give me as much joy as my 7 year old niece does when she asks if we can watch a Godzilla movie together. It’s like the classic image of the Grinch’s heart growing two sizes larger.

For whatever reason Hannah is really into Godzilla and wants me to show a movie to her while she asks a hundred questions. It’s beautiful and pure and gives me life.

This viewing was the Henry G. Saperstein cut which I believe is also on the Classic Media release. I like it bc it has a long intro showcasing clips from previous films while a voice over narration tells the history. It’s a good one to show kids.
