Write a short summary of what happens in the film

This film is a story depicting the efforts of Godzilla's first suit actor, Haruo Nakajima. A number of episodes based on real stories, such as training to carry a Godzilla suit over 100 kg, and frequent a zoo to study movement, are unfolding in the black-and-white SFX set. In the last, it changes to a movie-like color picture, and Mr. Nakajima's niece Godzilla raises a rose. The words "keep fighting" express the BOSS's attitude to "partners of working people".

Cultural/Context information for the jury

Godzilla is a movie that was born in Japan and spreads a special technique called SFX. SFX, which sets miniatures and operates costumes, is also familiar with the temperament of Japanese people and has long been loved by people. There are still many SFX fans even now, but recently they have hardly been seen due to the development of CG technology. At the same time as Hollywood's new CG Godzilla was released, by focusing on the back side of its original Godzilla, it became a work that stimulates SFX love and the Japanese pride that was put into it.
