[B]Godzilla: Minus One[/B]. This was really very good. It has a lot of depth and some great cinematic nods to other films, notably Jaws.  It starts at the end of WWII and our protagonist first encounters Godzilla on a small island. He survIves and returns to what’s left of Tokyo.  You get a really interesting view of post war Japan and the struggles of the people there. He meets a young woman  (the adorable Minami Hamabe) who is with a small baby. I won’t provide more spoilers but it explores the feelings of guilt and helplessness the Japanese experienced in WWII. Later there is some soul searching from a wise character about the failures of the empire.  A critical scene near the end seems to symbolically represent the death of the empire and the beginning of a new Japan. That’s probably the largest overall message but there are many here. Japanese with English subtitles, which is actually easier for me since I usually get the closed caption glasses.
