The scene when Gojira is over the mountain destroying everything, the scene he (or to please the feminists "it" as Gojira's organs were not clearly visible so was asexual) is destroying the city at the end.
Of course the meaning of the film is subjective, and you've interpreted the meaning from your own emotional viewing point, and that's okay, I'm sure the director would've welcomed any interpretation.
However I actually have a major in film studies, and my observations are from a neutral emotional standpoint. My observations are based on technical analysis, which cannot be faked, I studied for 4 years learning the technical skills required to see beyond the initial "feelings", I base my analysis on facts and research.
So yes it's subjective, but since I'm qualified my opinion is actually recognized as a valid source. But you are a fan, and fans opinions differ more depending on their mood when they first viewed the film, or for a host of other reasons.
You work within the industry? What qualifications do you have?
I don't mean to be too personal, but your views are very unique, and not in line with the general professional consensus on this issue. So I'm just interested if your work in the industry is with professionals, or if your work is with more indie amateur leaning productions.
I think we could do a good review together. I could be the professional reviewer with the technical analysis, and you could have a subsection called "Fanzone opinion" or something like that, it would be good to put the two contrasting standpoints together; factual analysis vs emotional analysis.

I am an actor, trained by a SAG member. I have been working in film for going on five years now, have been in several independent productions, and have studied consistently for going on 12 years now. I have worked with several professionals, and am close friends with a few as well. I agree that film is subjective, but would argue that though you have been educated on the study of film, are not immune to bias. I am sure you check your bias as much as possible, as do I, but I also know that the director has made his own statements regarding his intentions for the film, and I can see those intentions executed within the film itself. Perhaps, as an actor, I am looking at it from a different perspective, but I also consider myself quite neutral, when it comes to film.
I will admit, I find the idea of working on a review together might be interesting. In fact, I think I will private message you in a moment.
