Daimajin (Majin, the Monster of Terror, 1966)
"You realise you started as a drifter, and yet you've been basking in the lord's wealth? How dare you! What do you have against our lord?"

I'm a complete novice on kaiju films but i feel like I'd be more into them if they're all like this#ie. as much if not more emphasis on political infighting and feudal disputes as on the big monster things#i can see how this might frustrste some; our big friend doesn't really turn up until the final ten minutes and whilst#that's a very impressive ten minutes i imagine some viewers felt short changed. not me! i really enjoyed the romantic tale that built up to#the carnage; brave samurai and evil usurpers clashing as the poor village people are down trodden and enslaved. very old fashioned in some#ways and undoubtedly full of folklore and history that I'm none too familiar with but i can honestly say it was a really fun time#plus when Big Man did start to smash... boy did he smash#oh to be a young princess with a handsome protector and a giant rubble demon god to do my bidding#one can dream....
