Even if one failed to kamikaze-dive his plane into an enemy ship, I wouldn't call him a coward. His body may simply refuse to comply under the extreme stress, which he can't really control.
I know people are excited, I think it is a good movie too, but just because it is the one foreign language movie you see a year does not mean it is a foreign oscar shoe-in (same with RRR last year) :P at least see anatomy of a fall, society of the snow and zone of interest first! Thoroughly enjoyed minus one though didn't love the final frame without getting into too many details.
This movie is better than anything Hollywood has put out since Infinity War. There are no politics or "woke" moments. The characters are all interesting & viable, the women stand apart from their male counterparts & are every bit as crucial without making gender a frivolous & glaring issue (Hollyweard take notes). Not big on subtitles but i was able to follow along just fine & not sure an English dubbed version might have subconsciously made the experience distracing if i was focused on words not matching mouth movements so in hindsight i think this was a better call. Godzilla fans its a must see as it is by far and away the best one to date (better than the newer American ones, yes).
YES. Absolutely needs a Best Foreign Film nomination but I fear parts of the film industry in Hollywood still consider Godzilla a joke despite being a film icon for 70 years.
The most interesting thing about the human elements of Godzilla minus one is that if you take out Godzilla, it's still a very powerful emotional human story regardless. So it definitely should be in contention for best foreign film.
@@izumolee6714when you say stuff like that like expect to be there just for this thing and then say “I feel like this film is still great without that specific thing”, you know you’ve got a great film
I hope Japan keeps Toho. Godzilla out of anything regarding the typical trash America does to big money making properties. Other than Monsterverse, what Takashi Yamazaki has done, was for the world to enjoy and share, Hollyweird needs to keep their disgusting, greedy paws from Toho. Because I guarantee, Hollyweirds new mission will be to destroy Godzilla.
10000% agreed! Saw it last night and was so surprised (and happy) that I found myself so connected and attached to the characters. When the humans were on screen, I didn't find myself thinking "Ok, but where's Godzilla?" Instead, I was invested in their stories and cared about what happened to them. When Godzilla came in, his presence was even more impactful for that reason. And for $15 million production budget?! Take note Hollywood!!
Yes, the VFX people there make workman wages, but the main reason for the low budget is that Japan's film industry isn't stuffed full of unions, the teamsters, a boardroom full of idiot overpaid execs ...and actors who need 40ft limos, house-sized dressing trailers, etc. To them it's a job, one that they're passionate about - and it showed on every single frame of the film.
I was absolutely floored by this movie and watch. Godzilla was the music the main Character Kōichi Shikishima was the instrument. I cried for every character. The scenes just enhanced the flow and dire of the movie. I also got very little trailers beforehand which was a bonus. My fave and best Godzilla movie. Sorry not sorry MechaGodzilla I love ya to pieces but what a story.
All the ships and fighter planes that appear in the movie are real and belong to the Japanese military, which was active during World War II. The ship “Yukikaze”used in the final operation was famous as a lucky ship during the war. During World War II, it sailed more than 16 sorties on important operations. The war ended without suffering any major damage. The ship is the only surviving destroyer of its type. Therefore, just by hearing the name "Yukikaze" military fans knew that this operation would be successful. In an interview, director:Yamazaki said, ``If you're a battleship model geek, you'll probably be drawn to the movie theater.'' Although Godzilla-1.0 does change historical facts, it is designed with the idea of ``How to fight against Godzilla with Japan's remaining military strength in 1947.''
Completely agree. Really great Godzilla film but also just works as a film. And tbh when I found out the budget for it was 15 million, I was astounded.
I'm glad to hear that the people I tend to trust are finding this movie to be a great watch. I'm hoping it carries over to the general public, too. I know Godzilla's been a franchise for decades, but I'm hoping it's seemingly fresh take will get people to turn up. Definitely rooting for this movie.
We saw it on Wednesday night, and echo everything you said, Kristian. It takes you on an emotional dramatic arc with these human characters that really matters and creates tension as you go thru the experience with them. The effects are amazing, and Big G was a menacing force of nature. Definitely gonna go see it again this weekend, and can't wait to get it on 4K blu-ray.
Wake up America, go support this film. Should be hitting 100 million but won’t. Loving that it’s getting so much love from the critics and consistent to.
The film has grossed over $25 million against its reported $15 million budget and received critical acclaim, with many considering it to be one of the best Godzilla films. Toho's American subsidiary Toho International released it in the United States and Canada on December
Saw it a couple hrs ago. It was fantastic. Great story, great acting, great action/destruction. More heart than I expected which damn near made the movie.
I came to this expecting some awesome destruction, as usual. I was not expecting to be horrified by it. I can’t believe a Godzilla movie brought me to tears. Easily my favorite film of the year.
@@DR.DisInfect it's a must, and no not a "Shin," must (not dogging Shin) but it definitely deserves a theatrical viewing. Takashi Yamazaki, deserves every last cent we give him. He literally gave us all the Godzilla we've been waiting for, probably since 1998.
@@c.f.pedraza4057 I'm here now watching its it all subtitles? Yikes I can't do this. My son with me I'd have to read the whole thing to him lol. Luckily I have Regal Unlimited so not big deal. I'll catch it when it comes to steaming but I really hate reading while watching a movie
What Minus One excelled at, besides having real emotional weight on the cast, was getting Godzilla back to its roots: the monster is a proper force of terror, not generic summer blockbuster spectacle. All the US-made godzilla films went for spectacle, and those films basically had the same feel as a michael bay transformers movie or rolan emmerich disaster movie.
If there were a knighthood within the Monsterverse, the director of GMO should receive it, for the magnitude of his contribution. Amazing movie. I was taken aback how emotional I got. And the G Man has never been more terrifying.
I'm really not surprised why the movie's so well received. Asian movies, whether they are from Japan, China, South Korea and others, still understand how to tell great universal stories regardless of the genre. While the mainstream American cinema has been majorly concerned (and obsessed) about not offending anyone, going more for a ultra light and PC tone for many years now, Asia just don't give an F. Train to Busan is probably one of the best zombie movie ever made and it's packed with emotions on top of the action. The movie I saw the Devil is really grim and disturbing but the writing and the acting are spectacular. When I compare this to Western cinema and what happened with the MCU and others, in my mind, there's no such thing as ''superhero fatigue''...but ''poor writing fatigue''? 100%. And also, it makes you wonder where all those 200 million dollars went. District 9 still look better than The Marvels (for example). I think that's the difference between passion and a product.
Best Foreign Language Film I’ve watched this year and I’ve watched 5 others that Critics love. The Human story and characters drive this film, so when Zilla shows up the emotional stakes are ramped up for the characters and the audience. A lot of sobbing around me during the film and a ovation at the end, which Barbie had at the screening I attended. This is 85% a Post War Japan Drama and 15% Horror movie. Jaws wasn’t this terrifying. A Masterpiece; one of the ten best films I’ve attended since 2019.
Despite the low budget, the CGI and VFX did their best. I was a little uncomfortable with some of the details, but considering the budget, it was more than enough! If there is a sequel, I would like Takashi Yamazaki to be the director. No other Japanese director would have been able to produce images and scripts like this, and there is no such director in Japan! Above all, he is the only VFX professional in Japan.
I was excited in the opening where he is super agile and almost doing wrestling moves but then he kind of gets fat and slow for the rest of it (i suppose it is cause he grew but still was a little bummed)
This was better than any of the US released Godzillas. The japanese have a better understanding of how beautifully scary godzilla is 8/10 ! MUST SEE IN THEATHERS
I saw this last night with my son and it was awesome! I got on my son’s nerves bec I guessed the two big reveals early and kept whispering to him “oh…I’ll bet…” or “I know what that is about!” And then I had to whisper “aaah I told you! I knew there was…” or bouncing in my seat whispering “I knew it! I knew it!” 😂. Also, during the climax, when it was completely silent, I found myself holding my breath! This wasn’t just a great Godzilla movie…..it’s a great movie movie! Everyone will love it even if you don’t know anything about Godzilla.
Excellent movie, Excellent review. I saw it in IMAX. Worth every penny. Godzilla is very nasty. Just the way I like him. Hail to the King of the Monsters!
I saw it yesterday in IMAX and is by far the best Godzilla movie to date and probably in my own book, the best movie this year thus far.... Guy I was talking to in the theaters yesterday said Napolean was really good too, so will plan to see it too in IMAX...
I saw this last night (12/7, ironically) and this is amazing!!! I divide Godzilla movies into 2 types, he's the villain or he's fighting other monsters. I put this into the 1st type. I'm putting this right next to Gojira!! Gojira is #1 for me, butt anyone who puts G-1 at their top, I won't argue!
To this day I'm still pissed off that Gareth Edwards killed off Bryan Cranston character off so early in his Godzilla movie. He was the human element that that movie needed and not his emotionless boring son.
The first Pacific Rim movie really made me want more monster movies that actually focus on the fights and the monsters. So I was a bit let down by the 2014 Godzilla, which didn't really have much for monster fights. King of Monsters gave me a lot more of what I wanted, and while the people weren't exactly strong characters, I could kind of get behind their motivations, so I really enjoyed it. Minus One is very much a movie about the people. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this. But I can definitely think of some of the older Godzilla movies that were like this, so it's not like I didn't expect it could work, just that recent examples suggested it wouldn't. Sometimes its great to be wrong. This is a movie about survivors guilt, ptsd, failure of duty, and the human effort to push past tragedy. It's a monster movie that doesn't forget that what makes monsters scarier than gore is how much we can relate to the humans facing it.
Alright, Kristian! You, Dan, and Jeremy have sold me (along with the trailers; just watched 'em after seeing your reaction video). The AMC near me is actually going to have an IMAX showing this coming Wednesday, so I used my A-List to book my spot. Excited to see how it goes!
This was genuinely EPIC! I can't believe I actually teared up in a Godzilla movie lol Obviously, there may be some recency bias here, but as of right now, this is, in my opinion, the best Godzilla film ever made. Kicking myself for not having made the drive to see it in IMAX. I agree with you 100% - Godzilla Minus One truly does deserve a best foreign feature nomination!
I loved this movie. From start to finish it held my interest. The characters, story, action, and connections to old school godzilla films had me feeling like I was a child seeing godzilla for the 1st time. What they added for his atomic breath is something I never knew I needed. 10/10
3:09 Unfortunately Japan already chose their pick for International Film months ago (Perfect Days by Wim Wenders). Maybe in other categories, but that's unlikely.
Off topic. Leaf blowers going on outside. I now feel your pain. Godzilla Minus One. In my top ten Godzilla movies. Can’t wait to buy a Blu ray in Japanese.

15 - 35 million budget
$15 million budget
This film was a masterpiece, forget best foreign film, it should just be nominated for Best Picture in general.
Na. Hollyweird needs to keep their disgusting greedy paws off Japanese Godzilla. I support Japan keeping it that way too.
Best Godzilla movie of all time. A masterpiece!
Easily one of the best movies of the year!
I went in expecting "a Godzilla movie" but I got a story about humanity that happens to have Godzilla in it [in a major part of course] ...
Zilla excited to view in IMAX on December 2nd!
Best Foreign Film? I think it should be considered for Best Picture.
Even if one failed to kamikaze-dive his plane into an enemy ship, I wouldn't call him a coward.
His body may simply refuse to comply under the extreme stress, which he can't really control.

It unfortunately isn’t eligible to get one. You have to be submitted by your country to get a foreign film nomination and Japan chose not to submit it
It’s not eligible. Perfect Days is Japans submission for Best International Feature.

Yamazaki is not a bad director. If he can make Doraemon a compelling character, then I'm pretty sure he can make a good Godzilla movie.
Felt like I'd known those characters my whole life by the end of the movie lol was not expecting the emotions!
Saw it last night and loved it!!
The budget for this movie is 15 million dollars if anyone was wondering.
BTW Godzilla Minus One had a $15 MILLION USD Budget. Yeah, another movie that used money RIGHT. Take care all.
3:09 Unfortunately Japan already chose their pick for International Film months ago (Perfect Days by Wim Wenders). Maybe in other categories, but that's unlikely.
The budget was 15 million. Shows you don’t need to spend $200 million to make a great movie (cough, cough….Disney cough) 😊
I’m so pumped for this one! I recently did a deep dive with the first 15 classics on Tubi so I’m so damned ready for this one :)
$15 million....$15 million was the budget of this amazing movie
The budget according to Wikipedia was $15 million. Pretty crazy.
Off topic. Leaf blowers going on outside. I now feel your pain. Godzilla Minus One. In my top ten Godzilla movies. Can’t wait to buy a Blu ray in Japanese.
