You can probably guess from the title where this scene comes from. Yup, it’s from the movie “Godzilla vs. Biollante”! 
I’ve been an avid daikaiju (Japanese term for giant monsters) fan since I was a little kid. I checked the TV guide the moment it came in the mail to look for giant monster movies playing on TV that week, and I recorded tons of them (I think I still have “Rodan” and “War of the Gargantuas” somewhere). My favorite monster movie of all time though is most defiantly “Godzilla vs. Biollante”. 
The plot is amazingly creative and complex (especially for a Godzilla movie), the special effects are still impressive by today’s standards, and the cinematography is some of the best I’ve seen! Still, enough ranting. Time to lay out my favorite scene for you folks! 
In the movie proceeding this one (”Godzilla 1985″), Godzilla was lured to the mouth of a volcano, and explosives were used to trigger an eruption. Godzilla fell in, everyone pretty much assumes he died. “Godzilla vs. Biollante” takes place five years later. Again, most people pretty much assume that Godzilla has been melted into a sticky pile of goo thanks to his five year long dip in molten freakin lava, though the Japanese government has still been taking precautions in case he should ever miraculously show up again. Anyways, my favorite scene of the movie takes place in a learning center for psychic children (yes, you read that right 
). Turns out all the kids have been having the same dream every night for the past week, and every night the image in the dream becomes clearer. So the children are all instructed to draw a picture of what they dreamed. The teachers enter the room. “Alright everyone, have you finished your drawings?” 
The children all shout “Hai!” 
(Japanese for “yes”, I believe) with enthusiasm. “Alright kids, show us what you dreamed last night.” With another enthusiastic “Hai!” , the children raise their drawings all at once……..and every damn one of them is a dark silhouette of the King of the Monsters, Godzilla, surrounded by flames. BOOM!! Cue the Godzilla theme music. 
The look of shock and barely restrained horror on the teachers’ faces is simply priceless, as they realize that the greatest force of destruction the world has ever known might not be as dead as they would like to have believed. 
This is an awesome scene, and whoever thought this up deserves a freaking award. Each of the 50 or so drawings is unique, but any one of them could send a shiver of dread up your spine….and this is just a movie! The sudden, perfectly timed cuing of the Godzilla theme music was a brilliant touch as well, and it really adds an emotional punch to the scene. This is quite possibly my absolute favorite Godzilla scene of all time…which is surprising, considering there aren’t even any monsters in it!
Well, hope you enjoyed this first addition of “Story Time”. I’ll end things with a video-review of the movie I found on Youtube. Lots of juicy clips from the film in there! See you next time!
P.S. Seriously, “Story Time”? If any of you have a suggestion for a better name for these segments, let me know. I suck at names!
