Godzilla 2000

It's got a giant radioactive lizard battling another giant radioactive lizard. Really it's all a giant metaphore for the struggle between independant cultures and the parasitic, invasive, thief-like culture of America. The Godzilla we see here is a man in a rubber suit, as it ought to be. The opposing radioactive lizard is really an alien that steals some of Godzilla's genes and is styled to look somewhat similar to the Hollywood version of Godzilla. The characters even say "it's trying to make itself a clone of Godzilla." As a theory, the film is quick to remind us that Godzilla is a cultural representation, not just a monster, and his movies are a genre unto themselves with a specific formula that must be followed or else chaos ensues, like a haiku. As a movie, it's a fun night with friends.
