  • Japan is already devastated by the war when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, but was Godzilla Minus One as good as THEY say it was?
    -----------
    PLOT
    -----------
    Feeling as if he unfairly cheated death too many times, Shikishima, a surviving Kamikaze pilot is attacked on Odo Island along with many war plane engineers by a gargantuan monster. After the engineers die due to Shikishima failing to distract the monster, an overwhelming amount of guilt weighs on him, especially after a homeless woman and a baby move into his home when he returns. Shikishima, now on a personal mission, teams up with a large group of veterans to finally take down the monster known as Godzilla.
    Godzilla Minus One is written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki and marks the 70 year anniversary of the franchise.

      The starting salary for a university graduate at SHIROGUMI, the production studio for G-1.0 is 250,000 yen, which includes 50 hours worth of overtime pay. This is one of the higher salaries for CG studios in Japan. I believe this is low by international standards.
      Also, in the animation industry, it is common for young animators to earn 3 million yen a year while working every single day. I do not think this means they are treated well.
      Recently, there was a controversial strike in Hollywood, but in Japan, entertainment agencies have so much power that it is difficult for actors to even have a strike.

    Just that fact alone that you actually care for the characters safety in a Godzilla movie was remarkable, also loved the setting and time period they chose. Like a nightmare scenario for our heroes. If the result of the war isn’t bad enough they now have to face the one and only Godzilla 😅

    Godzilla Minus One is the unofficial sequel to Oppenheimer.
    It's interesting to me that not a lot of people realize that.
    Oppenheimer is a movie about the atom bomb test. Minus One takes place directly after the bomb was dropped on Japan.
    Does that mean that Oppenheimer 'fathered' TWO atomic weapons.
    One mechanical and one of flesh?

    Director Yamazaki made a statement that the budgets for Shin Godzilla and MINUS ONE are not much different.
    And from what I've heard from Toho officials, it sounds like the budget for Shin Godzilla includes the cost of publicity.

    • @CopaExMachina
      @CopaExMachina  7 месяцев назад

    This film's not a sequel to Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer's not even a part of the Godzilla franchise. Minus One is a standalone Godzilla film. Thanks. Anyway, I've always held the belief that the original film was the best in the franchise not because it was the progenitor, but because it was a good all around film. Great acting. Great writing. Great music. Great cinematography. Etc. An all around great experience with a powerful message and themes built into it. As the years have gone on (specifically with the Monsterverse) that kind of vision has been lost and replaced by "we need him to look cooler so we can sell more toys!" Seriously. Nobody can look at the new form for Godzilla in The New Empire and tell me they didn't make that form just for the sake of selling more toys. It has no narrative purpose or meaning. It's just there to make Godzilla "stronger" and make him look cooler so they can sell toys. Minus One does what only the original did so well by being a great all around film in addition to having Godzilla in it as the primary antagonist. This is what Godzilla is meant to be. Who he's meant to be. And the way he's meant to be perceived. All this Marvel-ization of Godzilla in the Monsterverse needs to stop. It's brainless B-Movie nonsense disguised as "Hollywood Blockbuster" filmmaking, and it all lacks any sense of soul or reverence for the origins and purpose of Godzilla as a cultural and historical cinematic icon.

      But there was barely any ‘monster’ in it. I think the Minus One subtitle is referring to the amount of minutes you get to see Godzilla for. The terrible Hollywood versions seem to think we want to see how the monsters affect the humans, so we get loads of exposition on the ‘human toll’. This suffered from that issue even more so. I personally have zero interest in how people are affected. I was expecting a monster movie, instead I got a war drama
