A very interesting comparison between Gojira, the original 1954 Japanese version of Godzilla that is currently in theatrical re-release in the US and its American counterpart (the one with Raymond Burr) by Kathryn Joyce in The Revealer. The contrasts go beyond culture. Indeed, the religious and spiritual implications of both are incredibly different. One deals with repentance and sacrifice, the other believes that might is right. Guess which is which.
