Cloverfield

The American Godzilla, but not just in terms of being a movie about a monster and this time it happens to be an American production, but metaphorically it's exactly that: A movie that through a monster (Godzilla/Cloverfield) represents the trauma of a nation (Hiroshima and Nagazaki nuclear bombs / 9/11) and is supposed to help the people of the country cope with that tragedy, while still acknowledging the mistakes that the own country's government did before and following the events (Japanese exploitation of the own people and war crimes/ The war in Iraq and overall racism present in the US) A movie that is fully aware of the mistakes the government did and while showing off plenty of reasons why we should improve, it still aims at delivering some sort of hope, that the world will improve to the people that experienced the tragedy.
