  • "War of the Gargantuas," a 1966 Japanese kaiju film directed by Ishirō Honda, may initially appear to be a typical kaiju movie filled with spectacular battles and destruction. However, beneath its surface lies a surprisingly deep exploration of fraternal conflict and tragedy. Granted, it may not be too surprising as the same creative team that made the original Godzilla film also worked on this movie.

    I recall that segment regarding what movies made a profound impact on today's celebrities. Many were naming the usual classics, "Wizard of Oz" etc. When Brad Pitt's turn came up and he mentioned "War of the Gargantuas", I thought it was A) WOW!!! and B) Honest and refreshing!

    Wow. Spot on analysis. Toho was at their peak with War of The Gargantua's. Worst case of sibling rivalry ever committed to film. Worst lounge act of all time. Aside from that giggle, this one scared me as a kid. That woman's dress getting spat out gave me nightmares. You don't have to reach that deep, to get meaning out of the best of Godzilla and pals. Along with Daimajin 1 and 3, I sat my mom down once, to watch Godzilla vs Mothra 92'. There is no denying the power of the Daimajin movies. It was pure joy to hear my mom praise G vs Mothra. The big sell for her was the music, the twins and the story behind their civilization. These three elements made the monster stuff "Interesting", and gave the story purpose. I'll never forget that viewing experience.

    Your Shakespearean analysis didn’t bore me in the least bit, my man. In fact, it was freaking awesome! It’s always so great to hear fellow users attempt to explore, interpret and explain classic daikaiju eiga through a more philosophical perspective. It’s something I try to do with my retrospectives, and I’ve even gotten some decent feedback about it from my followers.
    Analyses like this are what help to amplify my enjoyment of these pieces of art, a number of which I believe are overlooked gems because people only try to view them as movies about monsters going around and destroying stuff.
    Thank you very much for this great video, Firewood Media!

    Imagine a Godzilla Minus One sequel where the Gargantuas team up together to take down the most evil Godzilla ever to put in screen

      Fun idea except there was never a more evil-tempered kaiju monster than the GG...he's nasty beyond all rehabilitation and would never get over on an audience as a good guy...especially since Godzilla has made that turn many times in his career. And as @bobbylee3567 stated, as bad ass as the Gargantuas are, they wouldn't last 2 minutes in the ring against (any era) Godzilla. :)

      I watched that version there. It's the Japanese version with an inferior to English dub. Inferior to the original English dub.

    On an adult observation I find this breakdown of WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS very interesting. Hell, I was in seventh grade in 1970 when this was aired on television and all the kids in school including myself were grossed out when the Green Giant ate the woman and spit out her dress. I haven't seen or thought about this flick in ages, no its not exactly the story of Cain & Abel, but it's a epic story of a Carnivore versus a Vegan. 👹 Amazing & Enlightening Posting !
