This was easily the best Godzilla movie I have ever seen and I'd go as far to say the greatest monster movie of all time. The themes were absolutely fantastic and I especially loved the found family of Koichi, Noriko, and Akiko which was the heart of the movie
Im pretty sure the budget was actually 10 million. When asked about the 15 million dollar budget Yamazaki said that he wished it was that much and that it was closer to 10.
Godzilla's attacking the train in Ginza and the reporters broadcasting from the top of a building are both throwbacks to the original 1954 film, which contains versions of both of those scenes. The train attack itself also pays homage to the original 1933 "King Kong" where Kong destroys a subway train in New York City. Godzilla is slow and lumbering in most of his films because the suitmation actor has to deal with a costume that weighs around 100 pounds, and in some cases over 200 pounds.
I also thought they were saluting Shikishima, but after watching this, yeah, they were saluting an enemy as it goes down, like a battle well fought against another warship.
If you watch this film again take a closer look at the hospital scene. Noriko's veins have turned black and its moving. Maybe not such a happy ending 😂
You guys should give Godzilla (2014) another watch if you haven’t recently. I think it’s a really underrated movie and shows the scale of Godzilla perfectly
In addition a tip on top of your thoughtful content, The reason why Godzilla's behavior is unnatural. (In the first place, Godzilla's existence exceeds the rules of physics and biology. That's why people are afraid of Godzilla.) Godzilla is TATARIGAMI as mention Takashi Yamazaki in a interview, TATARIGAMI is a spirit (high-dimensional being) that continued to be feared even after it died a violent death as a human. There is also a theory that he is the incarnation of a heroic spirit who died during WW2. (TATARIGAMI is also depicted in Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. The black stain is common in both films.) Although TATARIGAMI is a wild spirit and is feared and shunned, if it is carefully enshrined, it can become a powerful guardian deity. They are the gods that are worshiped. How would you describe the existence between God and living things as follows? The director and CG artists spent more than six months developing Godzilla's walking style.
One of my favorite thing was the shots of the people looking at godzilla whether it be when he dies or destroyed the battleship. They cut to the people first and for maybe a little longer than u think they stay on them, filming their reaction or faces. If you put the atomic bomb in godzillas spot qhen they do this, it really just drives home what godzilla was created for. They look as if they are watching the bomb hit hiroshima.
Just FINALLY finishing University work this term and finally catching up on videos. So fun to see the little cross stitch sticking out... so fun! If I'm being honest I have not seen ONE Godzilla movie and I need to asap!
I'd even argue the best explosion and aftermath of any film period. Oppenheimer was pretty good, but Godzillas blast in Ginza made me audibly go "no fucking way" in the theater. Not even disaster movies pull off that level of tension and feel of despair.
Actually the teams on the boat weren’t aware that Tachiban removed the guns and aux fuel tank and loaded bombs in their place. Only Koichi and Tachiban knew about that.
22:10 I am fairly certain the Soviets would object to a military presence even if there was a world ending monster. The Soviets had a very “we’ll let the world burn if we can stand on top of its ashes” attitude
Yep I cried too, twice!! It’s my first and only Godzilla movie !! It only just came out here so I rushed out to see it in the best Dolby cinema I could! Wow the goosebumps when he caused that atomic explosion !!! Btw guys, I’m sure you’ve heard, director Takashi Yamazaki denies that $15mil budget, it was closer to 10!!! 🤯🤯
Going to see it on Friday so buzzing to see it at my local cinema (my mum doesn't want to see it but then again me and my mum have got unlimited cards for our local cinema) Hollywood take note you don't need big budget films to break even Hollywood WISHES they could make a film this good at even 1/2 of their budget and still make a profit (even the director Takashi Yamazaki even said he wished the budget was $15m)
Scratch that going Sunday now given Mum wants to see Rebel Moon as she's got Sunday free and I'll meet at the cinema so see can go see A Nightmare Before Christmas and I'll go see Godzilla
Oh and the Godzilla theme that was sampled into a dope rap song was: Pharoahe Monch- Simon Says That track also played during the end credits for the movie Boiler Room.
Japan is THE HOME of Godzilla, so no surprise fhey make THE Best Godzilla movies, Toho made it for $10 million, Hollywood and their pompous, pathetic and over blown over budget production would've needed $150 million ( or more!) for a piss-poor lousy movie. Hollywood SUCKS SHIT.
Went to sleep with a smile after watching this, couldn't sleep after watching "She -Hulk", just sat up crying wondering if anyone had actually watched the turd before releasing it, then again very few people look in the toilet before flushing!
I think you guys need to stop complaining about the VFX of Oppenheimer not getting nominated. Reason being it’s clear that the Cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema is soo good, the minor VFX really shouldn’t take an award for it. People ultimately realize this, because the real deal is the Oscar for HvH!
What do you learn in school,ejection seats were only in prototype during the war. american planes in WW2 did not have ejection seats even the ME262 the first operational jet fighter was not equipt with ejector seats there were prototype heinkel jets of the german airforce that had them but they tended to kill more than save
Godzilla finally has even footing with his colleague Kong whose 1933 film(35 cent ticket, took time with no TV & Internet) put him INSIDE our soul. Minus one is the Godzilla more than a monster movie soul saving turn we need today as King Kong was needed back then ❤. Think about what happen after WWII, we rebuilt it instead of enslave it as the United States could have. Minus one is to prevent WWIII esp. internationally(quicker with TV and Internet) because with Nukes there will be nothing to rebuild 🎉 ? Pgfsw
Is The Lighthouse a monster movie? It's technically Cosmic Horror, right? We are dealing with God or Cthulhu or some entity in the light. Is it a monster movie where you never see the monster?
I gotta disagree I think a more nimble Godzilla would of been way more scary. The opening scene teases us of what could of been with him attacking the mechanics in his orginal form and to me was the best action scene in the movie. In his final form their are a lot of bad shots of Godzilla motionless like somebody took an action figure and filmed it. I was excited at the prospect of a Godzilla that moved differently than in any of his previous films but instead it was the same old stiff Godzilla.
So, If you guys grew up on Kung Fu movies, any chance of a Kung Fu episode of the Podcast? Where did you come into Kung Fu movies, and how did you go about discovering them? Who did you like? Who was your guy? Which movies made an impression on you? Where were Hong Kong action flicks back then and where are they now? What have they becomes? Who are the milestones of these films? Where would we be without Bruce Lee? Do people appreciate the choreographer as much as the performer? Everyone needs to know Yuen Wo Ping. If someone is interested in getting into Kung Fu movies, which 5 flicks do you feel would give them an enjoyable and entertaining start, leaving them wanting more? Can we just celebrate kung fu movies for a while guys? You love them, grew up on them... teach the class, you know?
@@raidersofthelostpodcast_ Also.. you guys are an inspiration to me. Makes me feel like a guy who loves movies can make a career. I'm just an average person who knows nothing but "movies are awesome." how do I go from here to where you guys are? Is it actually possible for some average dude to get paid to talk about movies? Like.... i don't get how that works. Don't get how to do that or where to go or what to buy or where to whatever. But you two guys really love movies like I do and I'm glad you're there. I fucking love movies and so do you and you guys made a living about it and work for yourselves. I am impressed as I am jealous. 9-5 horseshit job working for crap-stacks when all I wanna be doing is convincing people that the three main characters in O Bother Where Art Thou might be black characters portrayed by white actors. I wanna tell the world why MacReady is The Thing. Why Miia Wallace has a cursed touch in Pulp Fiction. Why A Serious Man is about letting go of your want for answers, and how Nicholas Cage's brother writes the end of the film in Adaptation. How do I take passions like that and make it an actual job? I just don't get the whole thing. But I love movies, I love you guys and yeah.... I am a Gemini and a movie lover and you two are my fucking twins. I hope you live forever in the halls of "movie lovers" worth noting by the future. My destiny is not to ask "would you like fries with that?" but instead to exclaim: "Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!" So, how do I go from nothing to "there"
@@raidersofthelostpodcast_there enough of a twist imo with the black veins on Noriko's neck and the ending clip of Godzilla regenerating. Leaves the door wide open for some sort of sequel.

So crazy to think a Godzilla movie can move audiences to this degree. I think this movie is going to be talked about for a long time.
This was honestly a top 5 movie theater experiences for me, it was soooo good

Saw it twice in theaters(once in IMAX) and each atomic breath sequences had me in mesmerizing awe BOTH times!
Yamazaki is simply a gifted genius with a beautiful soul. This story was damn near perfection, and the direction was superb. It's a 10 for me.
You should also watch ALWAYS: Sunset on Third Street
Happy to see you guys reacting to this new Godzilla movie that I seriously need to go and see.
I also thought they were saluting Shikishima, but after watching this, yeah, they were saluting an enemy as it goes down, like a battle well fought against another warship.
アキコは2歳です。スタッフはアキコが泣いてる時に、アキコが泣く場面を、アキコが機嫌が良いときに、笑う場面を撮った。アキコの全ての場面をアキコの機嫌に合わせて撮った。
If you watch this film again take a closer look at the hospital scene. Noriko's veins have turned black and its moving. Maybe not such a happy ending 😂
YES! Totally forgot
When they shot the bomb in Godzilla’s mouth all I could think was SMILE YOU SON OF A B- *BOOM* 😂 love the Jaws homages in this film.
YESSS
I love this film so much. My pic for best film of 2023 and I think also one of the best films of the past decade
I was wondering the meaning behind " Minus One". Great explanation and it made sense
You guys should give Godzilla (2014) another watch if you haven’t recently. I think it’s a really underrated movie and shows the scale of Godzilla perfectly
Its was bot good
We had to wait almost 45 minutes for him to show up and the human characters (mainly Ford) were so boring. It was not a good movie.

Welcome back Olivia! ❤️
This movie has to have the best version of his Atomic Breath!
I'd even argue the best explosion and aftermath of any film period.
Oppenheimer was pretty good, but Godzillas blast in Ginza made me audibly go "no fucking way" in the theater.
Not even disaster movies pull off that level of tension and feel of despair.
Can't wait for this, seeing it on Sunday!

I usually am bored in the sequences between Godzilla but I thought the back story was great and had a lot of heart.

He may be one of the Cthulu gods from beyond.
It’s important to remember that Hollywood labor is ridiculously expensive, too.

I wonder if Shikishima was around for the events of Shin Godzilla. He'd be like "you gotta be sh*tting me!"
🤣

I wouldn't use the word cowardice to describe any person caught in war. You can and you do. I wouldn't.

I look at it As a Greek myth/horror
There were no practical effects in the movie. It was all CGI
