Face of Godzilla 1975

1.30.2022

同じ型から抜かれたとはいえ、頭部の形状に大きく変化が見られたのもこのゴジラの特徴のひとつ。目の形は前作より細めとなり、若干奥の方に取り付けられたため、眉にあたる部分が突き出たように見えてしまいがち。額から背中に流れるトサカ状の突起は、よりくっきり強調される造形になった。左ページの大写真と比べるとよくわかるが、写真によって鼻が通常の時と潰れている時のものがある。これは撮影途中のアクシデントで潰れてしまったためで、修復が完全にはできなかったそうだ。頬の大きな凹凸にメリハリがつき、下顎にもいくらか若干の形状の違いが見られる。前作が童顔だったのに対して、常に怒りを見せているかのような精停な顔つきに変貌した

One of the characteristics of this Godzilla is that the shape of the head has changed significantly even though it was removed from the same mold. The shape of the eyes is thinner than the previous work, and since it is attached to the back a little, the part that hits the eyebrows tends to look like it is sticking out. The crest-shaped protrusions that flow from the forehead to the back have become more clearly emphasized. As you can see from the large photo on the left page, there are some photos when the nose is normal and some when it is crushed. This was because it was crushed by an accident during shooting, and it seems that it could not be completely repaired. The large irregularities on the cheeks are sharp, and the lower jaw also has some slight differences in shape. While the previous work had a baby face, it changed to a delicate look as if he was always angry.
