You have definitely picked the right one. This is without a doubt, the best Godzilla movie ever made and probably will not be topped. since it came out in December, I’ve seen it 22 times. I’ve been obsessed with it from day one
In defense of Godzilla, who seems to be standing in the deep ocean, Godzilla has neutral buoyancy like fish he can control his buoyancy like a diver wearing a dive vest the diver can control his buoyancy by how little or how much air Is in his dive vest which he controls. However, he cannot control the gases in his system and bloodstream, and if he goes really deep gases in his body are compressed and when he rises too quickly to the surface gases expand and rupture organs and give embolisms, which, depending on the depth can kill if one rises too quickly to the surface without decompression. This is what they plan to do with Godzilla.
Look, we can add whatever we want to make Godzilla float. But let’s face it. This movie is about a giant murder lizard. Which is basically a stand for the atomic bomb and pretty much every natural disaster. He is a force of nature. So people need to be able to give a pass to artistic choices like that.
HOLY CRAP, do I believe the Oscar hype!!!! Minus One was beautifully done and animated. I wasn't expecting Noriko to have survived, but those Godzilla cells literally saved her neck.

fish look weird because they got 'the bends'==they came up from very deep water too fast (running from Goji? Caught in his 'slipstream' as he travels to the surface? Who knows) and the change in pressure makes their organs and cells 'inflate'; have gone deep sea fishing, I have seen bottom fish have their eyes bulge out and their stomachs and swim bladders protrude out of their mouths, after they got quickly reeled up from the deep--150 to 350 feet.
I believe that Godzilla attack on Japan is a metaphor for the nuclear bombings Japan suffered so the Title Godzilla minus 1 represents the idea that Japan couldn't sink any lower after the bombings, and the monster Godzilla's effects following the country's devastation.
Unfortunately you guys watched with the "dubtitles" (a transcription of the dub script rather than the original subtitles) so some things were changed including many of the most iconic lines. Regardless still a great movie and a great reaction as always, thanks for watching
I was going to say the same thing. The English subtitles are the “original” subtitles & the English [cc] are altered. The changes are minor, but in some key points can completely change the scene when you actually think about how things are worded.
I was a bit disappointed to know that by default Netflix used the dubtitles [CC] instead of the more accurate English subs. After re-watching it with better subs it felt more natural without the western colloquialisms and idioms like attaboy etc.
I was thinking I was the only one that thought it mattered. Like when she says in the original, I forbid you to die. In the Netflix version, she said I don’t want that to happen to you. Completely changes the tone. And when Kiko says, where is mommy original version she says when do I get to see mommy in the Netflix version. I don’t know why they changed it.
Couple things, First off your reaction was great. 1. The monster in the beginning was a type of sea monster / dinosaur. It was mutated with the events at Bikini Atoll. 2. Godzilla, is highly radioactive due to those experiments. His skins is black and he lacks scales. This creature is in incredible pain as the radiation mutates it's body. This was also the case in the 1954 version. Black rain is a bi-product of an atomic explosion. It contains radiation, dirt and dust, and the condensation of the sky due to heat. It is highly radioactive and killed many in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's heart breaking. Godzilla, in his original form is not an anti-hero. He's not a kaiju, he's a warning about the use of atomic weapons and the aftermath it brings.
The title "-1.0" means "Godzilla, who appeared after the war as if he was chasing after Japan, which has become nothing (zero), and will knock this country down to the negative (minus)"
This film will be a classic, and well deserved. first Godzilla movie to bring me to tears. Minus one Meaning at the end of the War after both bombs were dropped, Japan was at it's lowest Or ground zero.. so when Godzilla shows up, they are further reduced to -1
After World War 2 Japan was basically bombed back to the Stone age. They were set back to zero. When Godzilla showed up only a few years later they were still rebuilding , they basically had nothing left to fight him with ( they were demilitarized ) hence minus one.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 Interesting reasoning by the movie makers then. A prequel would have made more sense. Didn't they have tanks to attack Godzilla with in Ginza? Would pre war Japan have had weapons to destroy Godzilla? I think not.
It always amazes me that we watch a movie about an atomic breath mutated lizard that sometimes fights other giants, but we can't seem to understand how he stands in the ocean...lol
"Black rain" is a type of radioactive fallout produced when an atomic bomb explodes; it is a sticky, oily raindrop containing mud, dust, and soot. It fell on hundreds of thousands of people in Hiroshima, causing long-term suffering from the aftereffects.
The director of the movie was also the director of VFX, working with a small team of VFX artists with whom he conferred every day so everyone could get instant feedback
I will never watch this besides Black & White and Subtitles... I saw it 5 times in the theatre. Such a brilliant film and being a 'Zilla fan for 56 years, this is my favorite.
Black marking on her neck shows that she was infected by the Godzilla cells, or G cells. These cells and their effects are shown in previous Godzilla movies. Being infected by the cells was probably how she survived, and it foreshadows that something interesting is going to happen in the sequels!
I've waited for you guys' reaction to Godzilla, after watching your Train to Busan video, knowing you didn't expect to cry on a Zombie movie. Now watching the first minute, I said to myself. Oh, you gonna need some tissues for this.
I showed my wife the first 5 minutes knowing she'd have to watched the rest. Have seen it twice now and it's remarkable how this was made for 15m. The B&W version is available as it's own movie on iTunes ....
"What is that a dinosaur?" Well Toni you're actually kind of onto something there. They purposefully made Godzilla more dinosaur like in this one. As well as scaling him down to 50m tall unlike the American ones which make him over 100m tall because.... Murica. I personally like both designs though. Sincerely, A humble Australian fan.
Guys, you have to find and watch *"ETERNAL ZERO (2013)",* a war drama movie about Kamikaze pilots and their dilemma. It's directed by same director as Godzilla -1. It's an underrated gem. You won't be disappointed. 👍
Shikishima said "my war is not over" after Noriko was blown up. And yet Noriko asked Shikishima at the end of the story, as if she knew it, "Is your war over? It is hard to believe that Director Yamazaki simply made a mistake in the script. I wonder if he perceived Shikishima's true intention by something paranormal by the G-cell...
The 1998 version was A) Columbia/Tristar not a Toho production B) written/directed/produced by Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich C) not a good Godzilla movie, but a pretty good kaiju movie
I like "humble" people making videos like this and sharing their "thoughts" on it although lacking full knowledge into the matter. That´s great because it is SO AUTHENTIC FEELING
Godzilla having no problem floating high, probably because it moves upright and big belly located very low with gases inside, allows to do that. There is no need to kick its feet to fast...
To clarify many things for You: Godzilla was sent to Earth to protect it from other Kaijus (very big threat monsters) She was relatively small, like a T-Rex. But after some of the nuclear undersea tests, She mutated. Became bigger and bigger. She is radioactive, this ability can heal her. But it is a curse too. Thats why She is that angry about humans. After every seizmic shots She is badly hurt, have to regenerate. Those shots are representing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Black rain is mixed radioactive material and dust. Which infected Noriko and saved Her too. But also poisoned Her veins. The main thing -1 represents Japan after it was destroyed to ground zero in war. Then came Gojira and made it even worse (-1.0) So when You think You have lost everything, You are wrong...
Yeah, but you got a warn everybody about how different the approach towards dealing Godzilla is. I mean, there’s still drama in it but it’s very much. How would a government tackle a monster like that. Granted, I understand the movie is a critique of the Japanese government response to Fukushima. Lastly. You got a warm people about the first incarnation of Godzilla and that movie. No one has ever prepared for it even I was like what the hell is that?
The black mark is G-Cells. Godzilla's cells in the other films can infect and mutant other organisms. Noriko should not have survived, but her exposure to G-Cells has apparently given her the ability to regenerate like Godzilla, albeit, at a slower pace.
What makes Godzilla unique is he can be a good guy or bad guy depending on the story or the interpretation. Minus One is a remake of the original 1954 film where he was a tragic villain who attacked because human’s atomic testings mutated/traumatized him to now be in constant pain/anger. After that however, he became more of an anti-hero fighting evil monsters who threaten his home, Earth. The current Hollywood films highlight the anti-hero portrayal of the character which be great if you check them out. ^^
@@popculturallychallengedwhen watching or rewatching some of the monsterverse movies as far as the human characters go few are interesting and some are flat out boring or terribly written at to which point its kinda the point of those movies, the monsterverse human characters are just there for size and suspense but truly for the universe itself everyone is there for the kaiju action. Plus the Monsterverse is paying homage to the 60s silly showa era of godzilla while the monsterverse started off grounded and realistic to goofy and silly fun, compared to gojira 1954 to turning godzilla a silly hero in the 60s.
Believe the minus one title .. is that Japan . Was bombed twiced in WW2 then as rebuilding Godzilla shows up to minus them down from zero from rebuilding
It's Minus One because at the end of the War, Japan had basically been flattened by the US bombing and the uses of the Atomic Bombs, and after they'd hit Zero, Godzilla attacks and destroys what little else survived, thus putting them into the negative. Or Minus One.
The "Minus One" in the title pertains to the fact that at the time of the end of the war, Japan was at ZERO due to the carpet bombings and the two nuclear bombs set off over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Add in Godzilla and his destructive power and suddenly the odds were against Japan and they were at a deficit swinging into the minus area. The Minus One means they had the potential to be reduced back to the stone age.
I hear this every Minus One reaction: "What is that?" "Is that a fish?" "Why does fishes look so weird?" XD, lol. The movie technically explained it, but folks aren't aware... But it said Godzilla usually goes into the "Deep Sea" part of the ocean, and down there is below even where Whales usually lives, its pitch dark and usually you get Angler fishes and those fishes you saw in the movie. (they look like long snake/eel body but they have a big bloated mouth like a Pelican. usually, godzilla movies only show regular fishes closer to the surface, but ideally, it should be fishes from the deeper part of the ocean.
About 15% of kamikaze pilots failed. Some had legitimate mechanical problems, some couldn't find a target, and some chickened out. Almost all were treated with contempt by other Japanese after the war.
Going down and up in the ocean should take a lot of time because of the pressure difference and I think when Godzilla didn't came up to the surface maybe he wanted to "buy time" to get used to it.
The meaning of Minus one. After the war, Japan was left decimated and in rubble. They had no military and the emperor had to admit he was a god. Japan was left at ground zero. Godzilla took them below that. Minus One!
People keep saying. Why are they looking, keep running. Some people did keep running. Some were going in other directions. After all, the people in the city had never seen Godzilla before. Thats why when she was on the train she said, "Is that Godzilla?".They just had heard of him until then. But if this was real there would be some who would want to stop and look. Especially if it was something you had never seen before. In todays world with cell phones. You best believe there would be people trying to video it.
Godzilla tail is twice as long as he is and very powerful. I could see that helping with his buoyancy. Its not like he just drags his tail around. He uses it for destruction and to fight with.
Only the tip of this Shinden fighter plane is on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. If you assemble it you'll have the whole thing. I think the motorcycle is a 1937 Z97 hand-change model made by Meguro Seisakusho, or perhaps a Rikuo, which was produced under license by Harley-Davidson before the war. Sorry for my poor English.
It was top 3 movies in ten years. For 15-30 millions, vs 500 millions for marvel movies, it was excellenteeeee. For one. Marvel movies suck nowadays. And this HUMAN story here goes strong for years and years, even with rewatches. And yea, "he" might come back, but usually after first movies, godzilla becomes the hero of japan, and the original movies have the human element there, just dunno if anything going forward comes close to this perfection.
😂 That motorbike doesn't need to be repaired, it's that type of motorbike, it does emit a lot of smoke, except for the black smoke that comes out, then it needs to be repaired. I don't know what brand of motorbike this is, but I know that in one of Yamaha's products, there is a 90's era motorbike like this, the Yamaha RX-King.
Minus one is because it started before the "Original" Godzilla monster showed up. The major "Twist" of Godzilla is that he takes all of this damage and still lives. The radiation altered his DNA so he regenerates automatically. Noriko sent the telegram after she recovered enough. The black mark "Tatto" is from Godzilla cells that attached to her. There is a possibility that a second movie may? be made. I'm sad that you never became a Godzilla fan. I would watch Godzilla 1985, Godzilla against MechaGodzilla, / G SOS Tokyo. Best one is Destroy All Monsters, it has all of the Japanese Kaiju.
A lot of people talk about how can Godzilla just stand there in the water but for something to float it just needs to have less density than water, there are 30-40 ton whales and they float, there are also animals like hippos weighting 15-18 tons (half of the weight of whales) yet hippos can't float.
Noriko's neck bore 'G-cells' according to the writer/director. As for the idea that Godzilla being alive at the end means there's going to be a sequel, I don't believe that's the case. After 'Shin Godzilla' Toho studios established what they call the 'Godzilla Room' which established guidelines for Godzilla movies. One of their rules is that Godzilla can never be permanently killed, so the filmmakers would have no choice than to tag on a scene that implies he didn't really die.
His hips thighs and huge tail provide bouancy like a keel and balast.Just like you don't notice an aircraft carrier rocking in a flat sea Godzilla wouldn't rock much either.
Noriko might have been infected with G-cells (black mark on her neck) and survived the blast because of its regenerative power. Godzilla Minus One (2023) won 8 Japanese Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and 1 US Academy Award (for Best Visual Effects). Suggestion. Watch Shin Godzilla (2016). The movie highlighted the (government’s) bureaucratic failures in dealing with the triple disasters (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor meltdown) in 2011. Shin Godzilla (2016) won 7 Japanese Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director).
Godzilla expels biological material wherever it blasts the heat ray. There was dialogue reporting the authorities were finding unknown radioactive and biological material within the debris. This is what's called g-cells. The g-cells infected Noriko and helped her heal after being blasted away. Koichi also was infected hence his black eye healed so quickly that he suffered by the hands of Tachibana.
To me it was very joyfull to see the Godzilla of my childhood, a destructive force of nature which was made even worse by men. Was the first time for a while since I watched last time one of your vids, and it was very nice😉
It's called minus one because after World War 2 Japan was at its lowest point in the country's history and when Godzilla attacked it took the country even lower. The country had nothing, so it was in the midst of rebuilding then a radioactive Kaiju comes along and makes things ever worse after two atomic bombs.

"Black rain" is a type of radioactive fallout produced when an atomic bomb explodes; it is a sticky, oily raindrop containing mud, dust, and soot.
It fell on hundreds of thousands of people in Hiroshima, causing long-term suffering from the aftereffects.
This movie won best visual effects with a budget of less than $15mil.
I hope those artists get a big bonus from this movie's success cause thats nuts.
It was great movie. - Toni 🤓
The director of the movie was also the director of VFX, working with a small team of VFX artists with whom he conferred every day so everyone could get instant feedback
Im so happy you guys actually reacted to a new movie 🎉
I will never watch this besides Black & White and Subtitles... I saw it 5 times in the theatre. Such a brilliant film and being a 'Zilla fan for 56 years, this is my favorite.
I only watch it in theaters in black and white. As it has the same feel as the 1954 film. I agree.
Movie of 2023 and my humble opinion .. best Godzilla since 1954 was made .. loved this and yes I cried towards the end too.
It was a great movie!! - Toni 🤓
Black marking on her neck shows that she was infected by the Godzilla cells, or G cells. These cells and their effects are shown in previous Godzilla movies. Being infected by the cells was probably how she survived, and it foreshadows that something interesting is going to happen in the sequels!
I've waited for you guys' reaction to Godzilla, after watching your Train to Busan video, knowing you didn't expect to cry on a Zombie movie. Now watching the first minute, I said to myself. Oh, you gonna need some tissues for this.
Yep, you were right!!! 😂 - Toni 🤓
He is able to stand because earlier in the film, they mentioned that he can float
I showed my wife the first 5 minutes knowing she'd have to watched the rest. Have seen it twice now and it's remarkable how this was made for 15m. The B&W version is available as it's own movie on iTunes ....
It was actually even less at around 10-12 million.
Director wished he had 15 million!
Japan, after World War 2 was so devastated that it was to zero. Godzilla minus 1 meant it was less than zero.
This is the best reaction to Godzilla Minus-One I have ever seen. They should have put both of you in this movie. 😂😂
Thank you! 🥰
black rain pour down after nuclear explosion the radioactive dust n the heat wave hit the atmosphere
"What is that a dinosaur?"
Well Toni you're actually kind of onto something there. They purposefully made Godzilla more dinosaur like in this one. As well as scaling him down to 50m tall unlike the American ones which make him over 100m tall because.... Murica. I personally like both designs though.
Sincerely,
A humble Australian fan.
Guys, you have to find and watch *"ETERNAL ZERO (2013)",* a war drama movie about Kamikaze pilots and their dilemma. It's directed by same director as Godzilla -1. It's an underrated gem. You won't be disappointed. 👍
Shikishima said "my war is not over" after Noriko was blown up.
And yet Noriko asked Shikishima at the end of the story, as if she knew it, "Is your war over?
It is hard to believe that Director Yamazaki simply made a mistake in the script.
I wonder if he perceived Shikishima's true intention by something paranormal by the G-cell...
I'm sure Director Yamazaki and the production team would be happy if they were to watch your videos.
The 1998 version was
A) Columbia/Tristar not a Toho production
B) written/directed/produced by Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich
C) not a good Godzilla movie, but a pretty good kaiju movie
Posting this comment before viewing video. I can already anticipate Toni's tears.
I like "humble" people making videos like this and sharing their "thoughts" on it although lacking full knowledge into the matter. That´s great because it is SO AUTHENTIC FEELING
Godzilla having no problem floating high, probably because it moves upright and big belly located very low with gases inside, allows to do that.
There is no need to kick its feet to fast...
Good point!
To clarify many things for You:
Godzilla was sent to Earth to protect it from other Kaijus (very big threat monsters)
She was relatively small, like a T-Rex. But after some of the nuclear undersea tests, She mutated. Became bigger and bigger.
She is radioactive, this ability can heal her. But it is a curse too. Thats why She is that angry about humans.
After every seizmic shots She is badly hurt, have to regenerate. Those shots are representing Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Black rain is mixed radioactive material and dust. Which infected Noriko and saved Her too. But also poisoned Her veins.
The main thing -1 represents Japan after it was destroyed to ground zero in war. Then came Gojira and made it even worse (-1.0)
So when You think You have lost everything, You are wrong...
Toni: "minus one arm!?"
LOL, this is why I'm here ;)
🤣 - Toni 🤷🏻♀️
Minus one is reference to Japan after the war. It is where Japan was set at 0 after the war, and then Godzilla comes in and make them -1
That definitely makes more sense than what I was thinking!!! 😂😂😂 - Toni 🤓
Noriko's neck lesions were Godzilla cells as confirmed by the director
Tatoo like black mark on noriko's neck is G cell,thats why she' alive
nerd.
"This is gonna be fun!" Lmfao
We had fun crying buckets 😂
マイナスワンのネーミングは、同じ山崎監督のTHE ETERNAL ZEROが関係しているかも知れません。同じ海軍パイロットのお話です。奥様の涙がさらに絞り出されるかと思います。
Shin Godzilla is also a great film, but this one is excellent.
Yeah, but you got a warn everybody about how different the approach towards dealing Godzilla is. I mean, there’s still drama in it but it’s very much. How would a government tackle a monster like that.
Granted, I understand the movie is a critique of the Japanese government response to Fukushima.
Lastly. You got a warm people about the first incarnation of Godzilla and that movie. No one has ever prepared for it even I was like what the hell is that?
I'd suggest you guys to watch again with good speakers or both earplugs on coz it has the best sound in recent movies
Making this prediction at the one second mark.....Toni will cry. Sure money!
😂 You were right!! - Toni
I don't think King Kong can handle this Godzilla! 😂
I don't think his cute little axe would hold a charge from this atomic breath, either. Lol😂
,,they can fix the plane but can't fix his bike?!'' XD PRIORITIES XD
Huh?
Godzilla never really stays dead in his movies.
The black mark is G-Cells. Godzilla's cells in the other films can infect and mutant other organisms. Noriko should not have survived, but her exposure to G-Cells has apparently given her the ability to regenerate like Godzilla, albeit, at a slower pace.
There is no crying in Godzilla movies! There is no crying in Godzilla movies!
What makes Godzilla unique is he can be a good guy or bad guy depending on the story or the interpretation. Minus One is a remake of the original 1954 film where he was a tragic villain who attacked because human’s atomic testings mutated/traumatized him to now be in constant pain/anger. After that however, he became more of an anti-hero fighting evil monsters who threaten his home, Earth. The current Hollywood films highlight the anti-hero portrayal of the character which be great if you check them out. ^^
Thank you! We might check the newer stuff out someday!
@@popculturallychallengedwhen watching or rewatching some of the monsterverse movies as far as the human characters go few are interesting and some are flat out boring or terribly written at to which point its kinda the point of those movies, the monsterverse human characters are just there for size and suspense but truly for the universe itself everyone is there for the kaiju action.
Plus the Monsterverse is paying homage to the 60s silly showa era of godzilla while the monsterverse started off grounded and realistic to goofy and silly fun, compared to gojira 1954 to turning godzilla a silly hero in the 60s.
Believe the minus one title .. is that Japan . Was bombed twiced in WW2 then as rebuilding Godzilla shows up to minus them down from zero from rebuilding
It's Minus One because at the end of the War, Japan had basically been flattened by the US bombing and the uses of the Atomic Bombs, and after they'd hit Zero, Godzilla attacks and destroys what little else survived, thus putting them into the negative. Or Minus One.
I've noticed the English subtitles seem better and make more sense on the minus one version as opposed to the -1.0 version.
Q - "How does he heal so quickly?"
A - he's Wolverzilla 😁
You know you can’t kill Godzilla!! Or there’d be no more movies!!🫣😂
Hi!! There has to be a way to kill Godzilla, right? I think they have made plenty by now.... -Toni 😂
Minus, one refers to the fact that after World War II Japan was at the lowest point which is zero and then Godzilla set them back in the negative
Great reaction as always guys !!!
Thank you for watching with us. - Toni 🤓
The "Minus One" in the title pertains to the fact that at the time of the end of the war, Japan was at ZERO due to the carpet bombings and the two nuclear bombs set off over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Add in Godzilla and his destructive power and suddenly the odds were against Japan and they were at a deficit swinging into the minus area. The Minus One means they had the potential to be reduced back to the stone age.
I hear this every Minus One reaction:
"What is that?" "Is that a fish?" "Why does fishes look so weird?"
XD, lol. The movie technically explained it, but folks aren't aware... But it said Godzilla usually goes into the "Deep Sea" part of the ocean, and down there is below even where Whales usually lives, its pitch dark and usually you get Angler fishes and those fishes you saw in the movie. (they look like long snake/eel body but they have a big bloated mouth like a Pelican.
usually, godzilla movies only show regular fishes closer to the surface, but ideally, it should be fishes from the deeper part of the ocean.
*koichi screaming and crying*
"Why are those raining black stuff? "😔😔😔
People should feel Koichi....not asking "the raining black stuff"..... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
About 15% of kamikaze pilots failed. Some had legitimate mechanical problems, some couldn't find a target, and some chickened out. Almost all were treated with contempt by other Japanese after the war.
Going down and up in the ocean should take a lot of time because of the pressure difference and I think when Godzilla didn't came up to the surface maybe he wanted to "buy time" to get used to it.
The black thing on her neck is something to do with Godzilla‘s cell. That’s how she was able to survive.
The meaning of Minus one. After the war, Japan was left decimated and in rubble. They had no military and the emperor had to admit he was a god. Japan was left at ground zero. Godzilla took them below that. Minus One!
People keep saying. Why are they looking, keep running. Some people did keep running. Some were going in other directions. After all, the people in the city had never seen Godzilla before. Thats why when she was on the train she said, "Is that Godzilla?".They just had heard of him until then. But if this was real there would be some who would want to stop and look. Especially if it was something you had never seen before. In todays world with cell phones. You best believe there would be people trying to video it.
Godzilla tail is twice as long as he is and very powerful. I could see that helping with his buoyancy. Its not like he just drags his tail around. He uses it for destruction and to fight with.
The fish look weird because they imploded.
Only the tip of this Shinden fighter plane is on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.
If you assemble it you'll have the whole thing.
I think the motorcycle is a 1937 Z97 hand-change model made by Meguro Seisakusho, or perhaps a Rikuo, which was produced under license by Harley-Davidson before the war.
Sorry for my poor English.
They should've put a baseball bat on the plane and had him fly by and hit Godzilla. Just for Toni.
That would have been funny!!! - Toni 😂
It was top 3 movies in ten years. For 15-30 millions, vs 500 millions for marvel movies, it was excellenteeeee. For one. Marvel movies suck nowadays. And this HUMAN story here goes strong for years and years, even with rewatches. And yea, "he" might come back, but usually after first movies, godzilla becomes the hero of japan, and the original movies have the human element there, just dunno if anything going forward comes close to this perfection.
😂 That motorbike doesn't need to be repaired, it's that type of motorbike, it does emit a lot of smoke, except for the black smoke that comes out, then it needs to be repaired. I don't know what brand of motorbike this is, but I know that in one of Yamaha's products, there is a 90's era motorbike like this, the Yamaha RX-King.
Minus one is because it started before the "Original" Godzilla monster showed up. The major "Twist" of Godzilla is that he takes all of this damage and still lives. The radiation altered his DNA so he regenerates automatically. Noriko sent the telegram after she recovered enough. The black mark "Tatto" is from Godzilla cells that attached to her. There is a possibility that a second movie may? be made.
I'm sad that you never became a Godzilla fan. I would watch Godzilla 1985, Godzilla against MechaGodzilla, / G SOS Tokyo. Best one is Destroy All Monsters, it has all of the Japanese Kaiju.
A lot of people talk about how can Godzilla just stand there in the water but for something to float it just needs to have less density than water, there are 30-40 ton whales and they float, there are also animals like hippos weighting 15-18 tons (half of the weight of whales) yet hippos can't float.
Noriko's neck bore 'G-cells' according to the writer/director. As for the idea that Godzilla being alive at the end means there's going to be a sequel, I don't believe that's the case. After 'Shin Godzilla' Toho studios established what they call the 'Godzilla Room' which established guidelines for Godzilla movies. One of their rules is that Godzilla can never be permanently killed, so the filmmakers would have no choice than to tag on a scene that implies he didn't really die.
It’s sweet, only Toni could cry at a Godzilla movie !!
I wasn't expecting to cry, I think I thought it was going to be all action and unbelievable scenes.... -Toni 😂
Yes but she wasn't crying for the big guy, the tears were for the suspected death of the humans.
Nope!
I'm over 60 and have shed tears multiple times watching this and I'm far from being the only one too.....
Nice
His hips thighs and huge tail provide bouancy like a keel and balast.Just like you don't notice an aircraft carrier rocking in a flat sea Godzilla wouldn't rock much either.
Noriko might have been infected with G-cells (black mark on her neck) and survived the blast because of its regenerative power.
Godzilla Minus One (2023) won 8 Japanese Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and 1 US Academy Award (for Best Visual Effects).
Suggestion. Watch Shin Godzilla (2016). The movie highlighted the (government’s) bureaucratic failures in dealing with the triple disasters (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor meltdown) in 2011.
Shin Godzilla (2016) won 7 Japanese Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director).
3:33 ..........Would have been the cutest Godzilla Ever.
☺️ - Toni
I love Godzilla movies
Godzilla expels biological material wherever it blasts the heat ray. There was dialogue reporting the authorities were finding unknown radioactive and biological material within the debris. This is what's called g-cells. The g-cells infected Noriko and helped her heal after being blasted away.
Koichi also was infected hence his black eye healed so quickly that he suffered by the hands of Tachibana.
To me it was very joyfull to see the Godzilla of my childhood, a destructive force of nature which was made even worse by men.
Was the first time for a while since I watched last time one of your vids, and it was very nice😉
It's called minus one because after World War 2 Japan was at its lowest point in the country's history and when Godzilla attacked it took the country even lower. The country had nothing, so it was in the midst of rebuilding then a radioactive Kaiju comes along and makes things ever worse after two atomic bombs.
