| Abstract | ||||
| The "Godzilla" movie was released in 1954 (Showa 29), a series of famous films that were released to the public in atomic-bombed Japan to convey the message that there is no one can suppress nuclear weapons at all. It is a series work. On the other hand, the Americans, who may have wanted to take a stand in favor of the use of nuclear weapons, mainly recreated the series entitled (Godzilla)- in Roman letters. In this way, it can be seen that the United States' "Godzilla" is extremely different from that of the Japan's original "Godzilla". Needless to say, there are a lot of studies related to the differences between Japan and the United States in how "Godzilla" is perceived. Therefore, in order to explain the background of this research, this paper only touches on the creation and screening of "Godzilla" in Japan and the United States. However, the perceiving of "Godzilla" in Europe – such as the United Kingdom and Germany in particular- and the perceiving of "Godzilla" in Asian countries, as well, is focused on in the whole paper. The study shows that, from the last century to the present, the content of the "Godzilla" movies screened in various countries is almost the same as the content of the entire "Godzilla" series of the original Japanese creation, but it can also be said that it cannot be denied that the historical and social conditions of those countries are also reflected. | ||||
