Godzilla

fear was evident in the science fiction films made in that decade. The Japanese, who had already suffered the most from the atomic fallout, were foremost in delivering this terror on film. Godzilla was the result of the American atomic ability. Godzilla wreaked havoc on Tokyo and Japanese citizens. Godzilla can be seen as a metaphor for the horrors the Japanese people endured and was a way to face their fears in the safety of a movie theater. American filmmakers were also concerned with the consequences

Also, it is important to note that the famous movie series Godzilla (still produced to this day) deals with a monster that is created due to nuclear radiation who then proceeds to wreak havoc on Japan. Akira could easily be viewed by Americans as just another popular anime, but instead it is a look at an

Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction where the atomic nuclei of low atomic number have been fused together to create a heavier nucleus with the release of energy. Fusion powers the sun which is already being conducted in laboratories throughout the world by scientists. Byproducts of the fusion process are a fast neutron and helium. These carry the heat to turn it into steam. Throughout the country there are 47 out of 50 states that support the fusion industry. For nuclear fusion to occur, there

The Ever-Changing Field of Film The world of film has changed dramatically over the years and will likely continue to change along with technological and professional developments. Like many modern innovations, film has changed substantially over a rather short period of time, from black and white movies to modernized color films. Still, it is impressive to think how far film has come, and looking back into the near past affords an appreciation of the technology that no longer exists. Thus my viewing

Summary Supergirls is what happens when two sisters born into dismal and dire circumstances grow up believing what they see on TV. They’ve had no parental guidance. No adults to trust. There was nothing but television to define their reality, nothing but superhero comics to set their expectations.

Native Peoples of Canada The Indian does not exist. It is an imaginary figure, according to Daniel Francis (The Imaginary Indian), invented by Europeans that originated in Columbus's mistake, as he believed he had landed in the East Indies, and developed into fantasy. "Through the prism of white hopes, fears and prejudices, indigenous Americans would be seen to have lost contact with reality and to have become 'Indians'; that is anything non-Natives wanted them to be," (5). Thus they

“Did you have sexual contact with the natives?” “No.” “Did you share needles or have any open cuts I should be aware of?” “No . . . ” I said. The masked doctor examined the hundreds of boils on my face and body.              A week prior, I got into a bus accident in Tanzania. I was delivering a bag full of medical supplies to a rural hospital. A tropical storm hit the night before, making the gravel road slippery. My vehicle lost control and slammed into a palm tree. I hit the front seat hard

(Epilogue: The Postscript Farewell) SINGING THE SWAN SONG CODA Due to a persistent parental insistence and against all the sage counsel and advice of President Lincoln and the better angels of my nature, I have daringly implemented my meshugenah Father’s certifiably ingenious evil scheme of copiously inserting jaw-dropping quantities of punctuated semi-colons throughout these essays. Perhaps his unproven, uncharted, and unchecked historical-comparative linguistics claim is legitimate - that Casual

Komatsu argues that monsters in SF which could evokes fear to readers should be considered as an emotional expression of views of values, life, and the universe of the times.
