The Castle Bravo test and the new fears of radioactive fallout inspired a new direction in art and cinema . The Godzilla films , beginning with Ishirō Honda 's landmark 1954 film '' Gojira '' , are strong metaphors for post-war radiophobia . The opening scene of Gojira echoes the story of the Daigo Fukuryū Maru , from the initial distant flash of light to survivors being found with radiation burns . Although he found the special effects unconvincing , Roger Ebert stated that the film was " an important one " and " properly decoded , was the Fahrenheit 9/11 of its time . " A year after the Castle Bravo test , Akira Kurosawa examined one person 's unreasoning terror of radiation and nuclear war in his 1955 film '' I Live in Fear '' . At the end of the film , the foundry worker who lives in fear has been declared incompetent by his family , but the possible partial validity of his fears has transferred over to his doctor
