WITH Oppenheimer winning awards for depicting the Father of the Atomic Bomb, it’s time for another look at Godzilla — a 1954 Japanese monster movie where the big beast is a metaphor for the nuclear bombs America dropped there a decade earlier.

Insiders dish North Koreans believe chubbiness is a sign of attractiveness and strength, which is why Choe Su-yong, a retired South Korean intelligence bigwig, says Kim hides his skinny 13-year-old son, whose name is also unknown. The boy’s “unappealing physical appearance seems to have discouraged Kim from disclosing his son in public,” says the former spymaster. “Unlike his father, or his 11-year-old sister, Ju-ae, who is plump and well-fed, Kim’s son is said to be pale and thin.” Ironically, Kim was much thinner when young, but was ordered to bulk up…
