Honda has become one of my favorite filmmakers. He had a great style, very enjoyable to watch.
Godzilla, Mothra, The Mysterians — Japan’s most celebrated monster movies and sci-fi classics were brought to the screen by filmmaker Ishiro Honda. A long-overlooked talent, Honda is now considered one of the most influential directors of Japanese cinematic history, wowing audiences with fantastical special effects while expressing the anxieties of Japan’s postwar reality. At this talk, Steve Ryfle, noted scholar of Japanese science fiction cinema and co-author of Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, From Godzilla to Kurosawa, draws back the curtain on the man behind the monsters. Moderated by Bruce Goldstein, Director of Repertory Programming at Film Forum. Followed by a book signing reception featuring a display of original movie posters and other rare Godzilla memorabilia.

@aidanmcauley3272Ishiro Honda will always be the soul of Godzilla.. I imagine he is up there, looking down on us and proud of the legacy he left behind, with King of Monsters, his vision moving on to next generation and beyond..
