I just watched this last night, it’s a thrill to see your reaction. I’m 65, was living in Korea in the late 60s and have watched Godzilla movies since that time. This one is awesome an actually closer to the first one I ever watched in Pusan Korea in 1968.
Dude, you have the most annoying laugh on the planet. Dislike. Btw...that mark on her neck is supposed to show she has godzilla cells in her, and that allowed her to regenerate. That's how she survived.
No
Your laugh is the most horrible sound on planet earth, dude.
Little trivia: the main actor Ryunosuke Kamiki is the voice actor for TAKI TACHIBANA in the movie YOUR NAME (2016).
The mechanic being called TACHIBANA is a nod to that 😊
I never thought I would cry at a Godzilla movie. This film broke me. I wept like a baby several times. Not just the best Godzilla movie, but one of the best films I've ever seen. A masterpiece.
Fun fact:
My parents never saw a Godzilla film before, this was there first and they loved it and cried none stop at the ending!!
I agree. I never thought a Godzilla movie would destroy me like this did. Such an amazing film.
you should watch the older movies like the really older moves there's a few movies that made me cry
My favorite fun fact is that when Yamazaki (director) went to the oscars he met steven spielberg who yamazaki called his god and they spent time talling sbout each others movie with yamazaki saying the boat chase scene was a homage to jaws and that spielberg loved minus one and saw it 3 times in theaters
Jaws is my favorite movie and as soon as they set off in that boat I was like “this is Jaws”. I’m happy it was a homage. Both fantastic movies.
@@whitediggity
I still owe my late father every thank you in the world for showing me that movie behind my mom's back when I was 10.
I vividly remember rewinding and rewatching the:
"Smile you sunova-"
Moment like... 100x at least, and filling the blank myself (every time).
@@whitediggityJaws is my favorite movie too
Yamazaki even gave Spielberg his gold Godzilla figure!
@@wannabehistorian371 i forgot to add that too, the picture they took together was wholesome. Hopefully spielberg knows that there are millions of fans who would kill for that figure lmao
This movie had a budget equal to 15 million American dollars it just shows that Hollywood doesn't need to dish out hundreds of millions of dollars to make an oversaturated CGI Fest and pass it as a good movie
Its lesser than 15 mil
Thats actually not good. That means they don’t pay their workers. Japan is such a terrible place to work at. They don’t pay their workers and expect 110% of you
It was lesser maybe around 8 or 9 million
Correct me if I'm wrong but I couldve sworn there was an article that interviewed the director and they asked what the budget was and said if it was the 15 million and he responded with "he wished"
Wish people would keep pushing this false narrative.
Costs are lower because there were zero stars to pay. Most importantly the entire production staff, actors, directors, artists were paid a fraction of what a Hollywood film does. If this film was made by Hollywood, you'd be complaining everyone was underpaid due to the evil movie studio.
Plus, if you really believebthis was made for less than $15 million, I have a bridge to sell you.
The line “The war isn’t over… not for me, or for you” is so *COLD*. Coming from a WW2 Japanese pilot just gives it a crazy amount of weight that I swear I could feel it off the screen. 🥶
People don’t understand they only had a split second to react to the atomic breath because the shockwave is moving at hypersonic speeds, it’s slowed down for us to see the decision she made within that split second
Um..you can't run away from an atomic bomb by how close they were. It wouldn't matter if they instantly ran

@@アキコ2003when?
@@アキコ2003 Luckily it wasn't an automic bomb mind out, it is an automic breath.
Friendly reminder that the shockwave from the atomic blast was basically in anime time for the movie. It was a nuke that exploded just a few blocks away, Noriko had a split second reaction to push Koichi into the alley.
I like it call it the "mom reflex" and best example i can give is when mom is driving with you in the front and she suddenly brakes and puts her arm across you to keep you steady
Also it does not seem like it, but it is really hard to tackle a person that far away without a running start. She was a small woman and pulling them both in that split second would've been impossible.
Her instinct was to save him, not herself.
@michael-we7ppI bet you're exhausting...
Exactly 💯💯💯
Fun Fact: So the title Minus One comes from the fact that this is set right after Japan lost the world war, politically economically and socially they are at their absolute lowest they have ever been. And then Godzilla shows up. And THAT’S the Minus One, because just when they thought they couldn’t get any lower, in comes Godzilla.
Also, Godzilla‘s atomic breath is inspired by how nuclear reactors work. His back plates are like cooling rods, and when they are pulled out the “reactor“ inside him starts to overheat and as he’s inhaling deeply he’s stoking the fire inside of him, then when the plates drop back in it causes the chain reaction which unleashes his breath. Just like what happened at Chernobyl.
The black stuff on Noriko's neck is probably Godzilla cells, which means it is Godzilla which nearly killed her, but also Godzilla that likely saved her through regeneration.
The director has confirmed that that black stuff on Noriko's neck are indeed Godzilla cells. That's what kept her alive nd regenerated her body.
I missed it
@@Sage2000 There's a black vein on Noriko's neck.
I took my dad with me to the cinema to see this (he’s never seen a Godzilla film and usually falls asleep watching a film) he loved this film! Stayed wake! We talked about it all the way home! 👍
Also think that mechanic was responsible for fixing kamikaze planes sending them off to die,so him fixing the ejection seat to let him live he as well ended his war as well
Such a great point, makes the moment so much sweeter rewatching it now!
日本人として 素晴らしい考察ありがとうございます。
Never thought of that. Great point.
It’s such an incredibly powerful film. The destruction of Godzilla, Japanese people seeing a mushroom cloud after the trauma of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, is just heartbreaking. To see the lead go from being ashamed of living to wanting to live, to go from being shamed by society for living to being saluted and applauded for living, it’s so beautiful. When the mechanic said “live”, I lost it. This movie is a masterpiece.
Shin was better. Get over it
@@jamesmorales4735you lame
Consider this a soft remake of the very first Godzilla film in 1954. Godzilla was suppose to be a representation of the bombing in Japan during WW2 hence why Godzilla has the atomic breath (heat wave they call it in here) and Godzilla form is suppose to look similar to that of burned corpse victim from that bombing.
Monsterverse is fun and all, but this feels very close to the original feel of what Godzilla was. Terror, destruction, and hopelessness.
Yeah Minus One tops my list of favorite Godzilla movies for that reason (going back to the roots of what Goji metaphorically represents, a nuke).
It does an even better job by reminding us that a nuke isn’t just an explosion though, it’s radiation fallout, destroyed infrastructure, broken families, children without parents and survivors feeling they’re without purpose. What a film 👏🏼
Very true, but it didn't take long for the original Godzilla to morph into a superhero for children and protector of earth. The original creator noticed how many kids were cheering for the monster in theaters and just went with it. There are far more campy/weird/fun movies than serious ones, and the MonsterVerse was playing into some of that.
Soft remake! Are you kidding? I just don't see it as soft! But both films are great!
Absolutely Godzilla 1954 was a representation of the fire/nuke bombing of japan but it was deeper than that, he was humanities self destructive war nature. In this movie Godzilla was PTSD/survivor guilt. both movies are masterpieces with deep important messages
@@shawnpatrick1877 I frankly love both types of G movies. I can talk all day about the symbolism of 1954, -1, and shin ... but i geek out over big pissed off G wiping his mouth with a fist and charging down some space monster controlled by spacemen ... give me both!
What's "killing" Godzilla isn't the pressure itself. It's the quick changes in pressure. Divers have to be careful of descending or ascending too fast. Decompression is a real thing. Nitrogen bubbles form in tissues and compress due to high pressure. Ascending quickly causes them to expand quickly. Damaging tissue and organs.
Plus Godzilla was charging his atomic breath but the plane exploded and blown its brain off, the body stopped from actions, the energy burst from the inside out through the damaged skin (from the rapid pressure change) made the body fall apart killed itself before it could be regenerated.
Thanks for splaining.
This only happens with compressed air though. If you take a breath from a tank while down deep, the air expands as you rise up. This if why free divers can go 700+ feet down with a single breath from the surface and not need depressurization…the air in their lungs is already pressurized to the surface. Considering Godzilla started at the surface, it doesn’t make much sense to me, but I may be missing something
@@SwiddyDiddy i mean sure. I doubt Zilla had a tank down there
@@undbiter65 Maybe Godzilla had Godzilla-gills
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and you can see why, as the VFX artists put a lot of love, patience, and effort into making this movie.
The lead was nominated for the Japanese acting awards.
Should have been nominated for more awards, such a standout film.
Score and lead actor was also deserving for a nomination
@@jeffm9481unfortunately Japan put another film for the nomination before Godzilla. They can only use one film for the nod.
Good catch, yep the thing on her neck are Godziila cells per director, that's why she survived she regenerated enough to survive.
Noriko was not the only one with the G-cell. Anyone injured in the shadow of Godzilla survived. If they do a sequel, I hope they will explore this aspect. Also, since Godzilla was damaged every time he used his heat ray or atomic breath and his skins fell off, were they the origin of other creatures turning monsters from it? It will be interesting to see what they do.
Yeah my head canon right now is that maybe they injected Godzilla cells to heal her somehow, maybe?
@@DAngelProductionsmaybe its was for future story they will add shin godzila humanoid form 5
@@rexvinche1107 Look up Biolante. Godzilla DNA, Human DNA, Rose.
When Noriko miraculously survives Godzilla’s destruction of Tokyo, the camera reveals this mark. Director Takashi Yamazaki explained that it represents G-cells, which are Godzilla cells. These cells hint at a deeper connection to the kaiju and suggest that the good times may not last-Godzilla could return12. So, that seemingly innocuous mark carries significant implications for Noriko and the film’s future
Also begs the question if godzilla didnt fall to pieces and his head just blew off semi in tact. Would he grow from his head and make his new body or would his body grow a new head regeneration wise
Biollante too
You realize you have to do up Shin Godzilla now, right?
(Similar in tone but different in content. Minus One is a very zoomed in personal story of redemption and survival. Shin Godzilla is more about how the entire nation of Japan responds in a crisis.)
They reacted badly! Lmao!!

The destruction in this movie was honestly breathtaking, especially on the big screen!
Just watched this one yesterday myself! If I'd seen it last year it would've definitely been my favourite movie of the year. What I enjoyed probably the most was how relevant and impactful the human characters were. Usually in these kind of movies the humans tend to be unnecessary and really not that interesting. The CGI wasn't perfect all the time but considering the budget it was incredible to look at, they did an amazing job with this one 🙏
I saw this in theater both the regular color version and minus color one. Both are SO goddamn immaculate movies. Both times I saw it, my theater went the most silent Ive ever experienced a crowd when Koichi crashed his plane/before the parachute was revealed
The black rain is something that happens after a nuclear determination. It is highly radioactive.
This is my favorite Godzilla movie. I felt things watching this movie. A sinking feeling of dread. A breathtaking masterpiece.
To the creators of this video.
Thank you for paying respect to the people who made this movie, worked hard to try to distribute it as fast as possible and releasing your reaction video after the movie has officially been released on streaming.
Many RUclipsrs have uploaded reaction videos with the pirated versions for attention and many of us living here in Japan felt like it was very disrespectful thing to do to Toho(in fact it’s the same as stealing).
Both of you are good people who have done the right thing and i give your channel a big thumbs up and have subscribed to your channel as well. Wish you all the success daily. Both of you deserve it.
The Shenden actually had an ejection seat. Not many planes had them back then. Only a few prototypes had them and this plane was one of them. Cool aircraft but it was too late to go into production for use in the war and only a few test models were built.
This movie is an homage and pretty close to the original 1950’s Godzilla there for it has no rime or reason. In the original Goji was just a rampaging relentless destructive natural force awakened by human folly that was a metaphor for the horrific destruction of nuclear weaponry inspired by the nukes that devastated Japan.
The black scar in the end on her neck is an infection caused by by Godzilla DNA called G cells.
The human story is so damn GOOD! It's a PTSD war story with a healthy dose of Godzilla sprinkled on top lol.
In the monsterverse, I was annoyed that they had too little Godzilla and spent too much time with humans - because the human parts were boring.
Here, even though Godzilla is so little on screen, it didn't bother me.
On one hand, the human parts are great.
On the other hand, when Godzilla is on screen, it's absolutely fantastic!
That's because the humans in the Monsterverse are loaners from the Panderverse.
(It's also why GXK is better than GVK. Because the Skar King and co. take screen time back from the lame humies. It's so prevalent that the novelization of the movie is written mostly from TITAN POV.)
Well, it's a good thing that movie was made for everyone and not just you, because some of us, just like action movies for what they are they don't have to win awards or be oscar worthy
@@justonjenkins1589 I will never understand the impulse to brag about having low standards...
Hating humans on monsterverse does solve the problem, the blame goes to writing of these movies and characters of monsterverse are just also fairly written means "they do what they are trying to workout for and what they are capable of doing" we just need to cooperate with them in the story and that's it and they always don't need be serious and deep like minus one
(TRAPPER is still way better than that GENERIC and well written Koichi Shikishima)
That’s the problem with the Godzilla’s films here the U.S. But Tokyo did this one right.
too add to how awesome everyone is, the little girl actor, this is her first acting job and I think she is really young in real life and this shows how good her acting is and she has got great potential
Fantastic movie. $15mil budget and won Oscar for best Special Effect; what the hell are Marvel doing with all those hundreds of millions???
Fun fact... The budget was less than 15 million dollars. It was somewhere between 10 & 12 million. Each episode of Marvel's "She-Hulk" had a greater budget. The reason why this japanese movie was so cheap is because there are no highly overpaid actors and staff to pay out! 🙊
It was amazing. Definitely my favorite now
I really loved the story, the writing, the social commentary, and the characters because this is what makes a Godzilla movie like this so good and worth seeing.
Honestly for the sake of that happy ending and Koichi finally finding peace. I hope this variation of Godzilla stays dead, though I know deep down that he won’t..
He may. Since 2000 Toho likes to reboot for practically every film. I mean, they JUST put out Shin Godzilla not too long ago and it ended on a weird note that screamed there would be a direct sequel, but he stayed dead and there was no sequel.
I, too, choose to be willfully ignorant like Anthony lol. Let them have their happy ending!
Watch Shin Godzilla next! It's (almost) as good as Minus One but for completely different reasons. Those two build the perfect Godzilla double feature.
I really dig that it's atomic breath blast causes him damage as well. Makes sense. And it's a nice touch that makes it look like a bigger budgeted film.
I'm a bit more shin godzilla guy but no one can deny this total awesomeness. they also used my favorite godzilla look from my childhood, that's how my godzilla toys looked back then.
Noriko had gotten g-cells in her from the blast, it’s how she survived according to the director
Man this was made to watch on the big screen, its a masterpiece
Now this is a Godzilla masterpiece done right.
Best Godzilla movie ever!!! I loved your reaction. I saw this at the theater 11 times.
"I choose to ignore it" 😂 Bro same!
This is such a good movie, I wanna cry every time!
The cell on her neck is for the sequel. Where G-1 was about Koichi surviving WW2, the sequel will most likely focus on Noriko surviving Godzilla.
Godzilla self-healed in many of the old Japanese movies.
My man should wear a harmonica around his neck and everytime we get a HUAH HAH HAH laugh, we will get a little tune instead
I believe thats Godzilla's regenerative skin cells got on her and it sets up a potential monster from the old movies which is cool.
Yeah director confirmed it's a nod/Easter egg to the two kaijus related to godzilla cells. Both B and SG. There's an article on it on ign
I would love it to be B. We'll see !
If she grows into a Godzilla-like Kaiju, I'm there.
@@theeLonelyRedPandaB is Biolante right?
Who's SG again?
I forgot
@@haseoxv9508Space Godzilla is all that comes to mind.
There is a persistant rumor that this movie cost about $15 million. Hearing that, the director laughingly said in an interview he wished he had this much.
As a comparision one episode of She Hulk costs about $25 million. Other country, other working conditions, yes. Still, let that sink in. The one is $225 million (for the whole series) wasted, the other one is a masterpiece for a fraction of the budget.
That's why there's a trend now to count the budget of movies in Godzilla Minus One. Napoleon has a budget of $200 million, so that's 13 Godzilla Minus One.
Best Godzilla film since the original Gojira in 1954. It is such a well-made film with a beautiful story. I teared up in the theater for a flippin Godzilla film. I'm either getting soft as I get older, or this was a compelling human drama. Maybe both 😅
someone said that Koichi was too emotional. The guys entire world is falling apart over and over. I thought his acting was phenomenal
15 million is less than some Hollywood A listers demand to get paid for big budget movies. It is INSANE they made this on such a shoe string budget.
A lot of that is due to the fact that the director himself cut out a lot of the BS and he himself did a lot of the CGI rendering and compiling after hours for free. Also how they managed to pull off the very specific vision he had.
Once the US lifted the “gag order” on the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan made Godzilla (1954).
The American Monsterverse Godzilla is like a juicy hamburger while the recent Japanese Toho Godzilla is like a gourmet steak - both are “delicious” depending on your mood.
It wasn’t Hiroshima and Nagasaki that inspired Godzilla though those events did play a role. It was actually the fallout from the Bikini Atoll disaster that killed a crew of a fishing boat. Do United States paid reparations to Japan for that incident. It was truly that event which made the Godzilla movies happen. It is no coincidence that the first thing destroyed in the original film was a fishing boat.
@@brucechmiel7964
The 1954 film Godzilla, also known as Gojira, was inspired by several events in Japan at the time, including the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and the "Lucky Dragon 5 Incident" of March 1954:
Atomic bombings
The bombings killed over 200,000 Japanese people, mostly civilians, and embodied Japanese fears about nuclear weapons.
Lucky Dragon 5 Incident
In March 1954, the Japanese fishing boat Lucky Dragon 5 was exposed to radiation from the United States' Castle Bravo thermonuclear weapon test at Bikini Atoll, and the crew suffered radiation sickness. One crew member died of radiation poisoning.
The “gag order” is not over one boat caught in an atomic testing but the 200,000 killed in the two atomic bombings.
The movie started with the boat but the destruction of a city highlighted Japan’s fear of atomic bombings.
It was such a good movie overall.
I watched it two days ago and it's immediately a top-5 all time favourite movie for me, 10/10. I didn't see the mechanics line "One more thing" after he showed the bombs safety, so when he ejected it was such an INSANE shock and relief. I gasped and basically teared up immediately. Some of the best writing I've ever witnessed. It's all just set up so well and there are so many levels to the payoffs.
The woman's injury at the end I thought was just a remnant injury from Godzilla, something like the equivalent to the burns Japanese people experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the nukes were dropped. Even those that survived the blast had life-long injuries and I thought her mark was something like that. Not looked up if the director has said otherwise though.
Yup, best film of 2023 in my opinion.
The stain on her neck is probably due to radiation from Godzilla's atomic breath, which would explain why she is healing from her injuries.
The first scene we see Godzilla is before he has been mutated by the radiation.
He is big but significantly shorter, like a living dinosaur size. Maybe a 3 or 4 story tall TRex iguanodon creature.
At that stage it the big plane gun maybe could have taken him down because he shouldn’t have had his healing power yet.
Seriously, one of the best movies ever made. 🎉
Movie deserves all the Oscars
I love the realistic touch of having Godzilla move very rigid and awkwardly on land. Kind of like a destructive pigeon. 😁. But seriously, I saw this in a theater, and it's definitely well deserving of every award and praise, including this one. Bravo!
Best Godzilla film ever? You'll get no argument here.
This Godzilla film is a masterpiece. It won a freaking Oscar😊 something no other Godzilla film has ever done nor been nominated before.
When we first meet Godzilla, he seemed to have a contempt but curious view of humans. The only time he attacked is when he felt provoked. Kind of like a corned animal defending his territory. Similar to Jason from Friday the 13th or the shark of Jaws. But once Godzilla mutated and transformed into his familiar form, his contempt for humanity turned into outright misanthropic hatred.
It is implied that he blames humanity for his condition and wants to punish them for it.
That’s why he’s so outlandishly violent and destructive. Godzilla was originally a villain in some of the earlier Japanese films. As the years went by, he had quite a change. From villain to anti-villain to anti-hero. This film is a return to form as far as being a villain character for Godzilla is concerned. A divine creature of such awesome and terrible power. This might be Godzilla at his most angry I’ve ever seen!
I know the monsterverse approach is popular enough among its fans, but its still wild to me a country that faces natural disasters every single year cant find screenwriters to insert some real tragedy into our Godzilla films.
You can't fit modern narratives into natural disasters. "Earthquakes are homo/tranzphobic, that's why they always hit California" just wouldn't fly, even though there are a few that would actually try to make that spin, just like they tried to claim the 2016 solar eclipse was reyzist.
And all Hollywood is currently interested in is pushing narratives.

I love how this movie not only makes you feel sad about the human characters, but also makes you feel sad for godzilla aswell in the end, seeing how everyone salutes after he gets killed, because just like everyone, he too was a victim of our horrendous nature, filled with anger and grief, he was just a normal creature trying to live and survive
I told you guys a few months back you were going to LOVE this movie!
This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿
This movie was fantastic all around.
There has never been a better time to be a Godzilla/Monsterverse/Kaiju fan.
The Monarch show was pretty good as well, with a 2nd season AND spinoffs already planned. What a time to be alive for a Godzilla fan. Check it all out.
Minus One took home the franchise’s first ever Oscar and New Empire became the highest grossing Godzilla film of all time. Two very different films having these achievements back to back I think shows why Godzilla continues to stand the test of time.
Oh the director explained the mark on her neck. She came into contact with Godzillas cells which is why she survived and was able to heal. Thats really the only amount of information he gave us as of now
The concept of sinking godzilla to the bottom of the ocean is very smart because nothing big survives that deep, not even fishes, theres too much pressure... if you were to sink godzilla in the mariana trench, godzilla is screwed no matter how ``magic`` it is lol
There’s just something special about that Atomic Breath scene. The music, the buildup, the eerie ness, and the impact.
Great reaction, thanks guys!!
This movie is literally in my top 10 movies of all time it just captures everything I love about cinema! Hollywood needs to take notes because this movie right now blows everything out of the water!
13:33 Godzilla has ALWAYS had a healing factor, which is one reason conventional weapons never work and you need other kaiju, giant mechs and superweapons to defeat him.
It wasn't always obvious in the films that Godzilla had a healing factor until one movie literally made it one of the main plot points.
There is always 1 person in a group that loses it and starts screaming/runnign/ shooting first
If you’ve ever seen the Blobfish. That’s what happens when you bring a deep sea creature to the surface too quickly.
Plan Wada Tsumi is basically: sink godzilla to crush him to death. If he survives, bring him back up super fast to make him explode.
Everyone was in shock from Godzillas atomic breath attack, she snapped out of it in time to push him, she had maybe 3 seconds to do anything and she put all her strength into shoving him to safety 😢
not even that much, when you know the range of speeds of atomic blasts.
The only Godzilla movie where we cared about the humans and actually cried
I would 1v1 godzilla with only a sharp stick, for Akiko. She is too precious.
They had only 35 VFX artists. That’s it. This movie is a masterpiece.
Godzilla Minus One is the creation of *Takashi Yamazaki, who wrote, directed, and led the VFX team - which is why it only cost 15-18 million.*
Cost less than $15 Mill stated as of recent.
@@GoofyPoptart Even More impressive
I've seen like 3 Godzilla movies (all fairly recent in the last 20ish years) and after this one I looked into the history, I had no idea Godzilla was a physical manifestation of post WWII fear of the Japanese people that another Atomic bomb was coming, a monster coming to terrorize your people and destroy everything.
Scary thought...when the disconnect between the average person and the people in charge becomes so grand, that they no longer see each other as humans.
My personal headcanon is that Godzilla was meant to represent America. It's a monster that comes from the sea and destroys cities with atomic fire. That's how he was portrayed at first. But you'll notice as the Godzilla films go on, Godzilla evolves from enemy to protector, saving Japan and later other countries from other monsters but also causing massive amounts of damage in the process. There is a direct correlation between the evolving behavior of Godzilla over the decades and the evolving behavior of the United States over the decades.
I'm so glad you two are reacting to this, it is such a great movie! I gotta admit, I kind of did the same thing Kacee is doing in the thumbnail when this popped 😂
Edit: YES to Shin Godzilla and HELL YES to Godzilla x Kong New Empire!!
yes Shin Godzilla next
to see how creative Japanese dealing with Godzilla
in this movie, they compress and decompress Godzilla to make enough damage for the bomb
in Shin Godzilla, you have to see it for yourself
I saw both versions of this magnificent film several times,the color version and the black and white version. That's how great this film is. A masterpiece of cinema
One of the best Godzilla films ever……… but there is one I still consider the best and thats the original Japanese “Gojira”. This is pretty much an almost remake of Gojira which is great to see such a huge positive response from audiences of all ages because of its story telling and the feeling you get from the characters. Minus One is definitely on a more emotional level but you guys should maybe think about doing a reaction video of Gojira and see why Minus One was so heavily influenced by it.
Monster versus just an era, as to where the other Godzilla errors are, Showa, Heisei, millennium. This movie is a revamp of the 1954 Godzilla, the original movie which started off the Showa era.
13:31 Godzilla's regeneration is legendary ever since the original movie in 1954 sure there have been times where he was really damaged but Most of the time whenever he is attacked, he heals a little quicker than most. They actually explain this in the movie Godzilla 2000.
Godzilla's atomic breath is legendary. It was featured in the original 1954 movie all the way up to now, but it was never… This unstable.
17:47 the music you're hearing right now is the original Godzilla Theme well, it'll come up again two more times but longer and more profound.
Watching this movie after watching the monster verse movie has sent you apart from what Godzilla is and his origins this movie pretty much gives you an idea, but if you truly want to see more, Godzilla movie start from the very beginning .....
😅 I'm just realizing that there is a chance I might've mentioned this again. Hope this isn't a bother to you.
20:26 the point was is that Godzilla is making his dominance known searching for new territory and making those who have used power of the Adam pay for their ignorance when World War II ended it ended with Japan being bombed by the Adam bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki Godzilla is supposed to represent the terror and lingering effects of the war and the bombs. The reason why it's called minus one is because during that time, Japan had absolutely nothing and as soon as they were starting to get back on their feet, Godzilla came.
31:02 this is the original Godzilla Theme. It's just added on King Kong theme from King Kong versus Godzilla not the one from 2021, but in the 70s
37:32 sadly yes the Director himself said that Godzilla cells were growing in her neck and as for Godzilla himself, there is a good chance he'll come back maybe for 1954 since this was 1945.... you can't keep the G-man down😎
Godzilla's entire body is now a giant cancer tumor, his radiation is killing him but the cancer grows just as fast. so he's in constant pain caused by humanity, which why he'll never forgive them.
This movie won the Oscar for the best special effects
Yes to Shin Godzilla. It's phenomenal.
Takashi Yamazaki who was the director, writer, and VFX supervisor for this film was told by Steven Spielberg that not only did he love it, he saw this film in IMAX 3 times.
He also confirmed that the black substance crawling up Noriko’s neck in the final shot was in fact Godzilla’s cells, implying that she was able to survive because she had mostly regenerated just like Godzilla. And she likely got those cells because the news voiceover said parts of Godzilla came off him when he was being shot at by the tanks.
"Drop" "your alternative is getting eaten" LOLOLOL
My roommate watch this movie with me for the first time and he absolutely loved it
Godzilla Minus One is an absolutely beautiful film. Heart wrenching and stunning from start to finish
The difference between this and the Legendary films' monsterverse is that Legendary makes monster movies. Toho just made a human movie with a monster in it. Legendary find humans to be a necessary evil to place between monster shots. Humans are almost a McGuffin. In this, Godzilla is analogy for the war, survivor's guilt and PTSD. The war continued until he was able to end it for himself. The mark on her neck represents what still happened after the war, Hirohima and Nagasaki.. She may live or she may die, but she will not be the same.
I saw it in English, I can only do one of two things, read subtitles or watch the movie 😅
I❤🔥the old TOHO Godzilla vs humanity movies+all 3 eras of Godzilla vs monsters movies. I now also love the Monsterverse which is a modern Godzilla VS monsters era while Minus One/Shin are the modern Godzilla vs humanity movies. Loved both versions then, still love both now. Also, the closest old Godzilla vs humanity movie Minus One reminds me of is " Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack" .
Yes this movie is nothing short of a masterpiece and though I am happy it won the Oscar for best visual effects I am disappointed that it was not recognized in more categories as it should’ve been
So glad to see people start reacting to this. Is it the best Godzilla film ever? In my opinion, yes. Best film ever? Hard to say, probably not.
But...
I think in 20-30 years, people will be talking about it like they do Jaws and Terminator 2 these days.
I saw it in the theater 4 times!
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I have watched it 3 times so far. Last night watched it with my wife. Was her first viewing.
It affected her greatly as we had our first child who just celebrated his 1st birthday 3 weeks ago. So those scenes with the child hit close to the heart. She cried in both of the scenes you did. Great movie with terrific effects and performances. Thank you both for a terrific reaction.
Have you guys seen Cop Land & Judgement Night? Awesome movies 👌.
Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki the director of this film is a big fan of Godzilla, he also featured Godzilla as cameo in "Always: Sunset on Third Street" on 2005 and he is the director of "Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle" which have same design for Godzilla in this film
The "soot" rain was nuclear fallout from the blast
Wouldn't say 'best' ever made, but I'm a huge fan of the old films. I think Godzilla in this movie is fantastic, though. The best CGI version, by far. His actions are purposeful and dynamic (during the man-in-suit days, the monsters often seemed to do most of their collateral damage out of sheer clumsiness). Just look at how he rips up Ginza. And the look in his eyes! And as far as a sequel goes? At the rate he's regenerating, he'll be back in two weeks.
