Recent disasters??

Seems like everybody's big question about the new trailer is 'Are there new monsters?', or 'Of course there are new monsters; but how many?'

This excellent trailer, one of the best I've seen in a long time, has raised so many new mysteries that people (and you know who you are) all over these blogs are conjuring up split-second screen captures to support the God-darndest hopes and claims.

But what about the HUGE mystery right out there in the open, in plain sight?

Either I'm crazy, or it seems like the juxtaposition of things Brian Cranston's character is babbling about in the voice-over, and the scenes of wanton distruction, is making a case that Godzilla is responsible for the great Indian Ocean typhoon that wiped out the coast of Thailand in 2004, and the Fukushima earthquake/reactor disaster, that is still leaking radioactive water into the environment of South Japan.

Every time I watch it, the case for this seems more and more concrete. If I'm right, it is an audacious approach to take with Godzilla, even moreso that tying him directly to the Bikini Atoll H-bomb tests I grew up hearing about. Moreso than the historic plot device of 'X-Men: First Class', putting the gang smack in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Godzilla, as everybody knows, was created as an allegory, a metaphor for the man-made radioactive destruction of Hiroshima. This goes one better, if I'm right. I would go see this movie just to see if this cinematic audacity and courage on the part of both writers and director could possibly be true.

But I need more studious forensic eyes on this than just my own. Forget about mutos for a second, give the trailer another looksee, and tell me if I've got something here. I look forward to hearing from you all...
