Godzilla Minus One was the first movie in quite a while I was really happy I saw in the theater. It's by far one of the most satisfying blockbusters I have seen this year.
I went to the theater to support Japanese G movies. I've seen most of the US G movies in theater as well, but I hope 2c more Japanese G movies in US theaters.
I thought they were saluting Koichi. And, don’t forget Koichi kept the letter from his mom or his parents telling him to stay alive and come home. I believe that’s one of the reasons he didn’t want to die and come home to his parents.
Great interview guys.
57:00 I think there’s legitimacy to the idea that Shikishima is a pacifist, but I also think from a more metaphorical angle, he doesn’t shoot on Godzilla at the start because from his entrance into the movie, Godzilla is a metaphor for Shikishima’s shame and survivor’s guilt, and Shikishima doesn’t think he should or *deserves* to be without that.
He can’t kill Godzilla until he’s ready to accept that he himself deserves to live.
銀座(Ginza) is pronounced as Geenza, not Genza. Anyways, great discussion as always.
Matthew Broderick with a sparkling wire from the 98 film can kill the Godzillasaurus in this movie.
It is insane how easy Toho is making having both a compelling human story and exciting monster action in the same movie look (and let's be honest, the action is exciting, because you care about the human story), yet Hollywood kaiju movies and especially the defenders of said Hollywood kaiju movies, have this weird attitude that they are inherently mutually exclusive and it's just impossible to have both.
Let me tell you, Godzilla going against two boats and one fighter-jet was more engaging action scene than anything from the Monsterverse.
I mean I’m all for movies like this but I’m also down for giant monsters knocking the crap out of each other. As long as both deliver I can’t complain 🤷♂️
@@DravenG96 Thing is, those scenes of monsters fighting usually take only 15 or so minutes combined from the overall running time of 2-3 hours. If those fight scenes are the only scenes worth watching, I rather check them out from youtube as their own seperate clips rather than waste time, energy and money on the whole thing. And sure, not every monster movie has to be as serious/dramatic as the original 1954 Godzilla, Shin Godzilla or Minus One, just like, say, not every crime movie has to be like The Godfather, but there needs to be something in the script and the characters that keeps me genuily invested.
Actually, I'm going to give credit where credit is due, and say that Kong: Skull Island, as the only genuily solid movie of the Monsterverse in my eyes, is a good example of the minium bar that franchise should strive to reach. That movie didn't re-invent the genre nor are any of its characters anything beyond archetypes, but it still tells its story competantly, the characters aren't annoying or unlikeable for the wrong reasons, all of them are played by actors who can make the basic archetypes given to them fun to watch and there's still plenty of room for the fun monster spectacle, which is shot well and easy to see.
@@SpedeVeskuAgreed on Skull Island. That is the one Monsterverse movie that I have seen (haven't watched the new one yet) that everything just right.
Movies that has grown men (actors) cry at the end of the movies are awesome. You only get that in Asian movies. Because in reality, grown men should cry after going through hardship, trauma, struggles and then finding some happiness at the end.
Keanu reeves, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham aren't going to cry in their MANLY THEY REAL MEN movies. As I get older, MANLY MOVIES are so boring now. That fast and the furious franchise is trash😂 They did a tribute to Paul walker at the end of the movie and vin diesel (Dom) still can't cry in the movie😂
