The Beginning

















Filmmakers have given movie goers fantastical films and stories galore but of these stories some of the most popular of the early days of filmmaking were Giant Monsters (Dai-Kaiju In Japan). Whether through Willis O'Brien's stop motion models, Harryhousen's claymation, or even full scale models (THEM), to the Japanese's entry with suitmation, and recently in stunning CG, filmmakers have been able to bring these creatures to life. It is this cultural significance that will be focused on in this blog, for those who have grown up with them and love them to this day this blogs for you. The concepts have changed over time but many of the messages were both deep and important fables that were told in these stories. While it is true that others were simply created to be entertaining they were often inevitably important in the evolution of film.
