I'm an old guy... Godzilla has been a part of my life for 60 years... THIS is the greatest Godzilla film ever made... Masterpiece!
Hey that's cool, your almost as old as Godzilla.
Me too man...was pretty cool seeing the CGI catch up with them... practical effects will always be King but it's been cool being alive to watch the progression..it's pretty badass😅🤘🔥🤘..just like with the comic books.. ironman,, wolverine etc...super cool..the kids today are too stupid to get it😅✌️
58 and I agree, plus a cheaper budget. See Hollywood, Pay for great writersand players. I love this.
Yeah I've been a godzilla fan for 35+ years, seen everyone but Raids Again and I feel like its safe to assume -1 is better.
@@Dudeamis17 Why not Raids Again? It's a lot of fun and has some great aerial scenes. Minus One also pays homage to it, as well, along with King Kong vs Godzilla and subsequent films like GMK.
I actually cried both times at the cinema while watching this movie , that little kid deserves a Oscar.
Yup. ❤
Not gonna lie...when Akiko started crying I started crying.😭
@MarcMcKenzie-qb6or oh ya I had to really hold back in tears so hard from watching that scene. Then seeing her cry oh mannnnnn that was hella tough to see. Imagine you as a little kid and someone telling you that your mom/dad is gonna go away for awhile when the truth is that either one of them has been killed, it's the worst
She def does not deserve an Oscar lol. Your standards are very low lol
Akiko-chan now is a Blockbuster Baby ❤
Had tons of fun working on this film! It was an honour
Legit the BEST film of last year. Loved it soooo much
I worked on it too !
Source: trust me bro
Alex says hi.
@@maul8384You must be really fun at parties
When is the movie going to have a home release in the United States? Any information would be appreciated.
The -1 is because of a book called Tokyo Year Zero in which the year after the war was called "Year Zero" because Tokyo was so devastated it had to start over from zero. The minus one is a play on that as in if things weren't bad enough with Tokyo being taken to zero by the war, Godzilla came and knocked them further back to -1.
The Kyūshū J7W Shinden (震電, "Magnificent Lightning") is a World War II Japanese propeller-driven prototype fighter plane with wings at the rear of the fuselage, a nose-mounted canard, and a pusher engine.
Developed by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) as a short-range, land-based interceptor, the J7W was a response to Boeing B-29 Superfortress raids on the Japanese home islands. For interception missions, the J7W was to be armed with four forward-firing 30 mm type 5 cannons in the nose.
The Shinden was expected to be a highly maneuverable interceptor, but only two prototypes were finished before the end of the war. A jet engine-powered version was considered, but never even reached the drawing board.
Sadly they never made it in time before the B-29s nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Too little too late. I like how its kind of a metaphor that Shinden looks like an opposite facing A6M zero that usually kamikaze.
After we saw Godzilla minus 1 my friend asked me if that playing could be real I said it could...
Thanks for the information on this fascinating airplane.
probably it is called閃電（flash of lightning) than 震電, bcoz no such phrase 震電
Just love it when the original music scores kick in
It’s such moving,poignant music.
Stands the test of time.
It's called Minus One because Japan was reduced to zero after WW2, and Godzilla's arrival makes it even worse.
Yep, I was just about to tell them that until I saw your comment.
I was thinking in director's misdirection, being a Kamikaze pilot I thought that going to do and be a meaningful sacrifice to redeem himself for a greater reason.
So the next one would be Godzilla 0 then?
There is a more plausible explanation. Yamasaki had made another film dealing with kamikaze pilots and PTSD called "Eternal Zero". Zero is the name of the WW2 kamikaze plane.
@@AxelGizmo In other words, He found the perfect title for the film. Works in many levels!
Ryunosuke Kamiki
Actor absolutely killed it in this movie, defiantly put everything he had in this role. HIs performance brought tears to my eyes in theaters during the atomic breath scene
That's a real Japanese plane design from WWII, the Kyushu J7W1 Shinden. The movie plane is an exact replica of one now in a museum.
Seeing the Shinden turn up, after having been treated to an alternative fate for the (surrendered in 1945) Takao... I mean, the movie just gives so much to the viewer. It's a delight, for all the heartbreak of the screenplay.
The original Shinden design was from a German prototype. The Japanese made a few design changes but the frame is basically the same. The Germans were allied with Japan and shared some of their aircraft designs. Both aircraft were too late to be used in the war so they never went into production.
And yes, it was one of only a few prototype aircraft that had an ejection seat. No regular production aircraft had them then.
The movie replica is now in a museum at Tachiarai. I saw it back in November and they even had a special movie prop exhibit.
It's called Minus One cause Japan was at "zero" after the war, Godzilla puts the still recovering Japan into the negatives. It's also called Minus One because it's taking place in a time period (the 40s) before the first movie (the 50s). So in a way it's kind of like a spiritual prequel.
It's literally a prequel. I truly believe so.
@@Trilaan It's a weird case of being it's own continuity but drawing enough from the original to be a spiritual remake like Shin and just like Shin being set in a different time period. So it's like a spiritual remake and spiritual prequel at the same time.
I wouldn't say Japan was at 0 after the war. It was still in better state than Germany which had been leveled. And keep in mind that it was easy for the Japanse to rebuild because of their architecture and of course work ethic.
@@xXturbo86Xx Don't shoot the messenger, I'm saying what the trailer said. th-cam.com/video/YlceGpbGgvE/w-d-xo.html
@@xXturbo86Xx Don't shoot the messenger, I'm saying what the trailer said. If the monster movie is not "historically accurate" take it up with Toho.
Godzilla with wolverine's healing ability is absolutely terrifying. One of the best IMAX experiences I've ever witnessed.
No this was DBZ Cell or Majin Buu levels of regeneration it was insane.
@@donovanbradford8231 buu and cell's regen is instantaneous.. definitely wolvering or deadpool level
Godzilla has always had regeneration, but this was another level.
This is one of the best Godzilla movies I have ever seen. I saw this movie 3 times in the theater. The first two times I saw it with my older brothers, and the third time me and my oldest brother finally got our parents to go see it, and they loved it. Definitely the best human story out of any movie in the Godzilla franchise. The visual effects and special effects are awesome, especially for a budget of less than 15 million U.S. dollars. The acting is beautiful. I will say, after watching this movie in the theater in its original Japanese audio, this movie does not need an English dub because of how good the acting is. The music is also beautiful. Hearing the classic Godzilla music along with the original music made me close to shedding tears of nostalgia. And to top it all off, this was the best early Christmas present to ever get last year leading up to Christmas. Thank you to everyone involved in the making of Godzilla Minus One. You guys did a fantastic job 👍👍.

Noriko is killed by Godzilla's heat rays, and when Shikishima is screaming and crying, black rain begins to fall. This is because black rain falls after a nuclear bomb explodes.
The whole "Dying for your country" thing was a mind-set that originated with the Samurai, but as this movie shows, there were those in Japan who were starting to refuse to follow that mind-set. People no longer wanted to die just because their country demanded it, they wanted to live because they had something to live for, such as families, dreams, and aspirations.
Just an aside: Saburo Sakai was Japan's highest scoring ace to survive the war. In his biography, he said the first thing to come out of his mouth when he heard the military was organizing kamikaze attacks was basically, "That's stupid. What's that going to accomplish other than getting men killed for nothing?"
I don't think I've seen Mrs. Movie shocked as much as she was when she saw Godzilla unleash his blast on Ginza. Great reaction to a great movie 👍🏻
Easily one of the best if not the best Godzilla movie ever made, saw it 10 times in theaters.
This is my favorite movie of all time ....
When Takashi Yamazaki met Steven Spielberg at the Oscars he tweeted, "I've met GOD. What am I going to do with all this? I'm seriously crying.
And Spielberg saw GMO 3 times. He told me he liked the characters in the film. I gave him a Godzilla figure, and he was so happy he took it..."
This movie for me it top tier, easily the best Godzilla movie. And not just a great Godzilla movie but a great movie. Even if you take Godzilla out you have a gripping movie about loss, guilt, PTSD, trying to piece together a life and a makeshift family out of the rubble of post-WWII Japan. It is a great movie and having Godzilla in it is the whipped cream and cherry on top.
The IJN Takao was the last Japanese heavy cruiser to survive the war. She was moared in Singapore waiting to be scrapped. In this reality, she was pressed back into service where she met her end facing Gorjira.
Drachinifel did a video on this universe's Takao on April Fools Day
The kyushu shinden isn't what i expected to see in this movie too! Cool plane tho
@@DraytonWrite Yeah, that was a double delight - Drach isn't just a top naval history nerd, he's a G-fan too.
I think this was the first time I've watched a Godzilla movie and thought, "Yeah, Godzillas cool, but let's get back to the interesting human stories"
It was the first time I'd seen a Godzilla movie and had no sympathy for him. When he destroyed Ginza, and Noriko was swept way, I said to myself, "I hope they *atomize* him."
@@greenmonsterprod That's my biggest problem with the film: Godzilla garners no sympathy whatsoever. The whole point of the original "Godzilla" movie was that Godzilla was a victim of atomic bombs too. It resonated with the Japanese so much that many of them cried when he died at the end of that first movie (yes, the first one!). And later films expounded that Godzilla was a gentle creature before being transformed into a monster. In this movie, Godzilla is a victim of atomic bombs in the same way that Freddy Krueger is a victim of vigilante justice. He was an asshole before the atom bomb and he became a bigger one after it.
@@ConstantineFurman That's just you being autistic. The original message of the film is largely irrelevant in the modern day; the film uses Godzilla as a metaphor for war itself.
@@ConstantineFurman They salute Godzilla at the end, though. He's like a cursed spirit of rage and pain and destruction that NEEDS to be destroyed, but the film does have a moment to reflect on that. Just because it wasn't outright said in the dialogue doesn't mean it wasn't present.
@@ConstantineFurmandon't forget it was not just Gōjira that was whacked, Dr Serizawa committed Hara Kiri so to speak so nobody got his Oxygen Destroyah to weaponize
Favorite Godzilla movie, definitely gonna need the anti cry drink for this one 😢
Two of the movie's star Kamiki Ryunosuke(who played the main character Koichi) and Munetaka Aoki(Sosaku the plane engineer) also appeared in the Rurouni Kenshin movies with Kamiki appearing in the second to fourth movies as the boy-ish looking but cunning swordsman Sojiro and Munetaka as Kenshin's sidekick Sanosuke in all the movies. Both are really great actors. I would recommend everyone to check out the excellent Rurouni Kenshin movies immediately for their great performance there too.
23:11 He's that mad because they dropped a nuke on him at Bikini Atoll, which also caused him to mutate. In other continuities they often add things like it destroyed his home lair or after his mutation, he's in constant pain. Often, the real answer is that he's a stand-in for something else like fear of nuclear weapons, or the unstoppable power of a force of nature, or even the spirits of angry WWII soldiers. Then there are the dozens of movies that were made mostly for kids where he's practically a super hero, and the latest American MonsterVerse films that follow that idea.
Yeah ,I remember hearing over the years that his mutation causes him pain but his own cellular regeneration won't let him succumb to the pain and injury.
Love this film, i like they start him off as Godzillasaurus on the island then after the bomb he mutates into full Gojira and back to his original height.
Yeah wow that's funny
@@godzilla44556how is this funny? 🤨
@@Dark_Trap998 well because I'm a sociopath
That was done earlier with time travelers stopped the dinosaur from being irradiated and did Ghidera instead to change the future.
Yes! So few people talk about this - they see it, but it's like no-one shows that plot element any love. The fact that he's a huge, non-atomic, sea monster is a glorious throwback to 'Beast From 20,000 Fathoms' - Godzilla's spiritual movie ancestor - and it *also* works with the core human drama of Koichi's survivor guilt, because I think his plane's 20mm gun *could* actually have killed the monster in his 'natural' form. Once Bikini happened and Godzilla mutated, that window closed forever.
A huge and excellent plot point.
27:15 this is real science. A boat will sink in foam. The gas equalizes the bouncy between the displaced air from the boat's hull and the water.
Saw this movie four times 2x in color and two times in black and white... I've never done that for a movie. They made you care about the humans and Godzilla movie they finally did it. But the best part was the soundtrack toho put in the original music and it was priceless.
I read somewhere that the Minus One referred to the fact that after the war Japan was essentially at rock bottom, or Zero in terms of morale,and having to rebuild, hence Godzilla beating them down still further meant the nation was now at Minus One in terms of morale.
I have never gotten emotional to any monster movie. This movie made me cry 3 times. Best Godzilla movie to date.
I think I remember that one of the first ejection seats was a German design for one of the first jets they had but they never implemented them on mass. I didn't expected this movie to be that emotional and well acted, I also needed a lot of anti cry fluid ❤
24:10
I watched this in IMAX when it first came out.
I'll never forget this moment. The whole theater was enjoying finally seeing Godzilla doing what he does best, destroying stuff. There were some cheers because we were finally about to see this version of his atomic breath.
The moment it EXPLODED, the entire theater had the same reaction you two did. The fact that this version is quite literally a nuclear explosion shocked us all into silence. Not a single sound came out of the entire audience until the next scene.
That moment was the single most impactful thing I've ever experienced from a Godzilla movie.
A friend of mine got to see this movie in Japan a month before the US premiere. He told me several audience members cried at this scene.
This took the top spot(beating out Across The Spider-Verse) as my favorite movie of 2023. As a godzilla fan since I was 4(I was born 1990) they actually made me afraid of him(Godzilla). I watched this movie 4 times in the theatres in December and it was money well spent. Thanks so much for the upload. Mrs Movies is a boss
Edit: 25:29 i thought the same thing too - if the american oscars werent so uptight(this movie won Best Visual Effects obvy) he should have been nominated. This Godzilla movie actually gave us an amazing character and the actors performance was far better than any of the Best actor nominess this year.
Such a fantastic film. It's incredibly satisfying as a Godzilla movie, but just as much so as a period drama exploring post-war trauma and survivor's guilt.
This is what we get when filmmakers don't assume the entire audience are brain-dead morons and actually apply real effort. They actually address the questions we have as the audience, and even small details received attention. For example, on the bomb they install in the Shinden Fighter you can see where they had to remove the fins with a cutting torch to make it fit. Lazy Hollywood would have had a bomb that magically fit perfectly in a space made for it.
They also had a budget 1/20th of Hollywood films because they don't stupidly pay their lead actor a small fortune for no box office gain nor pay 49 producers who had nothing to do with the film.
23:04 “Why is he so mad?” Ah, the old nature vs nurture question. It’s in his nature to be mad, but his nurture has so far been bullets, mines, bombs, shells, and a whole goddamn nuke. All things considered he’s a remarkably well-adjusted giant horrifying monster. He could’ve made a scene.
"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country"
- _"Patton"_ (1970)
Operation Crossroads, the nuclear tests off Bikini Atoll mentioned in this work, were actually conducted in 1946 after the U.S. military dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. This was also the “cause of the birth of Godzilla” in the first “Godzilla” film, and I think that the Japanese people of that time were partly substituting Godzilla for the nuclear threat that might still persist.
In addition to about 70 naval vessels, 200 pigs, 60 guinea pigs, 204 goats, 5,000 rats, 200 mice, and other animals were also sacrificed in this operation. This is also where the idea of Gojira, in which nuclear effects can cause fatal changes in living organisms, may have originated.
Recent monster-verse films and other films state that “Operation Crossroads was intended to defeat Godzilla,” but I feel that this takes out the original element of Godzilla as a warning against nuclear weapons testing. Therefore, the depiction of Operation Crossroads in “Godzilla Minus One” should be seen as similar to the original version.
（P.S. I always look forward to your videos from Japan! Thanks again for all the great videos!）
The title, according to the director, has multiple meanings, explicitly referring to how Godzilla's destruction changed Japan's position from a "post-war zero situation" to a "minus". When explaining other possible reasons for the title, Yamazaki said that the film takes place before the original 1954 Godzilla film and that it emphasizes the theme of loss throughout.
I hadn't been to a theater since Deadpool 2 until this movie, & so far it's the only movie I've gone to the theater more than once to see, saw it 3 times.
Saw this in the cinema last year with the wife and son. We all loved it, we all cried through it. Masterpiece!
And it only cost $15m to make, too.
Mrs Movies sure wasn't expecting this kind of Godzilla movie. The human storyline was good. But. Watching Godzilla going full on bat shit crazy was just epic.
Love it when they make Godzilla a villain. Much better when Godzilla is the bad guy. Best Godzilla movie ever IMO. Ten times better than New Empire. I don't like Hollywood's Yeaghar style monsters
@@mcentepede I like all of them. I just enjoy monster movies.
The train and his tail are bat
The thing on her neck were G cells which granted Noriko the ability to heal fast and survive Godzilla's heat ray.
The "Minus One" also refers to Japan's defeat in The War. There's a say that Japan was taken back to "Zero", now with Godzilla wreaking havoc in a Japan that was just rebuilding it has taken them even further back: Minus One.
Which makes me wonder if the guys that made Minus One are bringing back Biolante.
Your expression of shock at the attack on Ginza was amazing, that's definitely how I looked when I first saw it.❤
I saw this in a real IMAX (London). It was so freaking spectacular. Mind blowing it was made on just a $15 million budget.
Nice! I can't wait! This was my favorite film from 2023. I took my 11 year old to go see it and we both cried. It was great. Surprisingly, Godzilla X Kong was really good too, but in a totally different way.
So happy to see you two reacting to this emotional masterpiece of a Godzilla movie.
Great movie! In reference to the subject of fate. I’m reminded of the quote “Accepting fate is what your mind tells you when you take your hands off the wheel of life”
Amazing movie, acting, story, worthy oscar vfx win.
The Ginza scene where Noriko met Koichi was based on a true story. According to Takashi Yamazaki, he found his wife in Shibuya, and happened to spot her like Koichi after the Great East Japan Earthquake happened ! He said, “I know there are some negative comments that it’s impossible for them to meet in the chaos situation. But you know there’s every chance that they meet!”
"This is like Jaws turned up to 11!'
Have you ever seen a blob fish? That’s not what they look like what happens is that deep sea fish and when they brought up too quickly, they blow up like balloons and die.
Definitely deserved that Oscar.
I WAS NOT READY FOR THE WATERBOY LINE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “mommmma saiddd cause alligators got all them teeth and no toothbrush”
Godzilla: Get nuked and has eyes melt out of their sockets.
Mrs. Movies: "Why is he so mad?"
Godzilla eats Nukes for breakfast. And atomic bombs for lunch
@@mcentepede His eye melted out of his socket! His face is burned every time he uses his atomic breath! Just cause he feeds off radiation doesn't mean he isn't being hurt by the explosions and heat!
@@livingcorpse5664 he thinks this one is just like the Monsterverse Godzilla 💀
@@Dark_Trap998 My head canon with MV Goji (and really all Gojis) is nukes do damage him but the radiation speeds up his healing factor so it's a moot point.
@@livingcorpse5664 GOJIRAS
Godzilla regenerating himself has been part of the canon since Godzilla 2000.
even before that, G-Cells and their regenerative powers were introduced in VS Biollante in 1989
I knew Godzilla had a healing factor off and on over the yeard but when I saw his regeneration in this I was flat out, "OH MAN THAT IS SOME DBZ LEVELS OF REGENERATION RIGHT THERE. You guys are screwed."
Good to know.
Humans need that kind of regeneration. What almost happened in the Walking Dead.
Just before I went to the cinema to see this..I had just returned from a two week trip to Japan (from UK)..During the flight I watched a movie called "Dr Coto's Clinic" (Japanese movie)..and some of the actors from that movie also appear in this movie!...I was in Japan to see my favourite band LIVE in Yokohama...I had also flown out to Japan earlier in the year to see them LIVE in Tokyo during a 3 week trip!.....Japan is an amazing country..I truely hope to return someday... "Dr Coto's Clinic" movie is based on a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Takatoshi Yamada. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Young Sunday from 2000 until the magazine's demise in 2008.
This band wouldn't happen to be BandMaid would it? lol
@@bettyyu-h5q Maybe Po!..🕊😉
This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿
Shinden (Shaking Thunder) is designed and made by soley Japanese. Germany had a more advanced jet engine at that time. While Shinden is designed to replace its engine to jet engine easily for future, it still got propeller engine at that time. Japanese jet engine based plane at that time could only fly only for 3 min. So it specifically used for Kamikaze attack.
In this movie, Japan got together every technology available back then to defeat Godzilla. For instance, the tanks which attacked Godzilla at Ginza looked very ordinary and boring, but those are the ones which were named Type-4 tanks, newly developed tanks to equip relatively large canon.There are a lot more stories behind technolgies appeared in this movie.
Director Yamazaki is a pretty good director to satisfy military Otaku, too. : )
Germany also had the Dornier D035 which had two prop engines, front and rear and looking very similar
There is a likely inspired plane of similar design in the animated series "Macross" (aka "Robotech") that has both propeller and jet propulsion for momentary speed boosts.
Incidentally it too involves rowdy giants. ;)
I really hope they don't mess up that live action version, should it ever actually get made.
Wait, Shinden is Shaking thunder and not Glorious thunder?
He's military otaku 😅
@@grabtharshammer
Thanks. I searched TH-cam and found the one. So now I convinced Germany had more advanced and challenging idea. : )
The only design JPN could import from Germany was Type-4 (飛燕: Flying sparrow). Germany was too far back then.
I loved this movie more then any of the recent versions.
Minus One is my favorite Godzilla film. Hands down. -OG
Minus is where you think things are as bad as they can get, i.e., the devastation from the War. Minus One is when things get worse than the worse, namely Godzilla coming to add to a situation that is already a living Hell. Minus One represents how just when you think you hit rock bottom and it's as bad as it can get, things find a way to get even worse
Did anyone else notice the song playing during the climax is Akira Ifukube's King Kong vs Godzilla theme?
From the first one?
@@Perktube1 yeah, the original from 1962. It's an instrumental without the vocals, but you be the judge
m.th-cam.com/video/jq5WSQy1ocQ/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUha2luZyBrb25nIHZzIGdvZHppbGxhIDE5NjIgdGhlbWUg
No. That theme is from the original. It was just the fanfare that was written for King Kong vs Godzilla.
Yep! Kong was getting drunk on berry juice while the natives chanted the music.
And while Noriko is hanging from the train the og Godzilla v Mothra 1964 theme plays!
Tachibana giving Koichi permission to live and then hearing he did on the radio gets me every time
i love how godzilla is a straight up menace in this movie lol
Kamikaze is a very complicated and difficult concept to explain. Very smart girl if she gets it (or the deeper meaning of it). Anti cry drink 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Too cute.
I love Godzilla movies
Music score with 15 minutes left is orginal score from 1959 Black and White with Raymond Burr really great music
This movie scores 98 on Rotten Tomatoes we love it in the States
This move won academy award for sound and set design
Saw this in the theater and a couple people around us were crying at the end.
One of my favorite movies of all time, for sure. Really frustrated about it not being available outside of Japan yet...but it will be here eventually.
Waiting, very impatiently!
The editors are busy splicing in the scenes with the reporter for the US DVD release.
@@AltCutTV Ha! Who do we think is Raymond Burr this time around? I vote Owen Wilson or Will Farrell where we find out that this takes place in the same universe as Ron Burgundy.
*edited to correct which actor was originally cast*
@@PokeTheBunny Some time travel wouldn't be too farfetched in the Godzillaverse I suppose. ;)
How about Jack Black though. Add some gravitas? Or maybe switch the part for that lunatic wildlife film maker of King Kong after something spectacular again. The crossovers are inevitable at some point anyway. ;D
I'm a citizen of Hiroshima Prefecture. The temperature at 8:15 a.m. on August 15, 1945 was less than 30 degrees, but it became 3000 degrees due to the dropping of the atomic bomb. The situation at that time has been revealed in a follow-up survey that can be said to be the obsession of Hiroshima City. A person within a radius of 1 km from the hypocenter instantly boiled blood in his body and his blood vessels ruptured and died instantly. People within 1 kilometer outside it were caught in a collapsed building and were stuck and burned to death while living due to the fire. In addition, in the outer 1 kilometer area, people suffered for three days and three nights and died because of the radioactive rain that fell immediately after the atomic bomb. About 90,000 citizens died at this moment.
This movie now holds the record for winning the Academy Award for Best VFX and having the smallest budget ($15 million). The previous record holder was 2015's Ex Machina which also had a budget of around $15 million.
Godzilla Minus One is referring to Post War Japan being destroyed and lost with this Monster showing up to destroy what is left
I really love when Godzilla is the villain. I always root for the bad guys.
@@mcentepede lol as a Korean I'm right there with you rooting for Godzilla.
@@cheebeesremember the Empire is long dead.
@@cheebees Ouch! Yeah I figure you and Godzilla aren't big fans of Japan.
This "Kaiju" movie is a jewel!❤❤❤❤
This was the first Godzilla movie where I enjoyed the 'B' plot (life in postwar Japan) as an equal story to the 'A' plot. Both were great, I was every interested in the stories occurring in its entirety. Now my top three are Godzilla Minus 1, Shin Godzilla and the original without Raymond Burr.
One of the theories as to why Gojira is always so destructive is that he is always in excruciating pain. He was exposed to the full fury of an atomic bomb, and his skin and body show it. That isn't just skin or hide. Those are open and never healing radiation burns.
"Those are open and never healing radiation burns."
No, reign it in, edgelord. They're just char marks from where he was burned. They aren't open sores. They don't hurt. They're just a deformity.
@ConstantineFurman "Godzilla, in the original 1954 Godzilla, is a creature whose underwater habitat was completely destroyed by a hydrogen bomb test which also killed his family and burned and scarred him. Enraged and driven from his home, Godzilla took out his rage upon humanity..." I mis-spoke when I stated they were open sores. But, from an article I read some 45 years ago, it definitely stated that Godzilla is always in a form of constant pain from what the radiation did to him.
@@Gojira1701 "it definitely stated that Godzilla is always in a form of constant pain from what the radiation did to him" Then it is definitely making that up and lying to you because Godzilla was never portrayed as such until recent times, if even that. Look at the behavior of the Showa Godzilla in any of his adventures; that is not the behavior of something "in constant pain." Something in constant pain would not be clapping his hands, playing soccer, or showing patience toward a baby monster. Never ONCE in any of the many interviews, Q&As or discussions about the character did actor Haruo Nakajima say, "Yeah, Godzilla is in constant pain, so I..." It's just edgelord bullshit.
The fighter is actually a real Japanese fighter, specifically a Kyushu J7W Shinden. The German writing on the seat back is noting it is an ejection seat. After pointing out the arming handle for the bombs the mechanic says "One more thing" and the scene cuts, but it shows him pointing right at that german label on the seat back. Earlier they gave a speech about how Japan didn't even care for it's own during the war, no armor for tanks, and killing their own pilots with kamikaze tactics... And how it was time for them to change that attitude.
the plane was not german but the seat was and some parts who got repaired.
this things was japans last airplanes fast with 0 armor
This movie had no right to be this good. But it is. Lately, I find myself immensely impressed with foreign film making. Every once in a while you find some amazing gems but the frequency in recent years has noticeably increased.
Y'all should check out takashi yamazaki other movies like his sunset on third Street trilogy and The Great War of Archimedes. They're amazing. Also fun fact two movie's were responsible for the creation of this movie, Gojira 1954 and GMK 2001
I love that if you take out the human story OR the Godzilla story, it's still a hell of a great movie.
I never heard of Anti-Cry drink before lol.
So glad I chose to watch this at the cinema. It was a really hot day and I needed a reason to stay inside a place with air con. But the movie was awesome.
THis movie is awesome and it was great to see it in the theater ont he big screen. One of the few movies that drew me back to the theater.
"Because he has all those teeth and no tooth brush!" Epic!!!! 🤣
I saw this in theaters with my dad, when we walked out he said he never thought he'd cry at a Godzilla movie too. I cried at the end of Vs Destoroyah.
Best Godzilla film. As a Shin Gōjira fan, it took a lot for me to say Minus One out did it as an Evangelion fan as well.
Saw this movie day one in theaters damn this movie is a freaking masterpiece❤
My second favorite Godzilla film after the first. I love the characters in this.
Thank you for the reaction.
I am Japanese and glad you enjoyed the movie.
I am learning English and some films that really helped was Spaceball.
If you not done that yet please consider for your future reaction😊
I just saw this tonight. The final shot of her crying over him, I thought, with that bandage over so much of her face, she can't emote much.
I missed the mark on her neck.
I see the spike jutting out as the removal of reactor control rods to allow the reaction to ramp up allowing the atomic breath to kick off!
During Godzilla Fest in Osaka, director Takashi Yamazaki confirmed that the black marks on Noriko's neck were Godzilla cells or G-cells...Hence her ability to recover from the blast.
Keep her away from roses...
The kiju cowboy in all his glory....great DVD set....enjoy!
The healing factor comes from how Japan views Godzilla.
Here in the States Godzilla is a giant monster. In Japan, Godzilla is a mythical creature that, like a force of nature, can never be killed and won’t ever stop.
By far, the best Godzilla movie ever! 38 films total, and this one for sure is on top! I cried at the end, I was shocked Noriko survived, but that radiation in her, the director, confirmed that it's Biollante, very excited about that. But by far my all time favorite Godzilla movie from Toho, btw, love Mrs. Movies Cavitycolors GvK shirt!
17:56 most incarnations of Godzilla have regeneration like Heisei Godzilla, Millennium Godzilla, Shin Godzilla, Godzilla Earth, Godzilla Ultima even Monsterverse Godzilla has regeneration.
Also Minus One Godzilla is 50.1 meter tall and Monsterverse Godzilla is 119.8 meters tall.
24:42 2001 GMK Godzilla's Atomic breath causes nuclear explosions as well.
I am as excited for Mr. & Mrs. Movies reaction to this as I was watching it for the 3rd time.
This film harkens back to some of the movies in all eras of Godzilla. But certain things are common among all of them.
In the 1970s we had something called the Godzillasaurus. This character would show up once again in the 1991 film Godzilla versus king Ghidrah. Godzillasaurus is a dinosaur that did not go extinct and remained on Edo island until the castle bravo test forced to evolve into the monster that we know today. Sometimes Godzilla was already a kaiju sleeping for untold eons until it was awakened by that very test.
Here we can assume that the Godzillasaurus evolved alongside other prehistoric animals, competing for food and territory. Which would explain his scars.
Edo island is another common piece of Godzilla lore dating all the way back to the original 1954 classic. Sometimes Edo island is very simulated as Okinawa, but left undisturbed for…ever. Sometimes Edo island is also known as monster Island and it’s just the place we’re all kaiju sorta gather. It has also been confused with skull island on more than one occasion sometimes they are two different islands, sometimes they’re the same island.
Greatest Godzilla movie ever! So much heart in this movie.
Totally agree. The best Godzilla movie.
Godzilla movies are fun, but they're always better when there's a message behind it
Glad you guys got to enjoy this one!
Kamiki Won Best Actor Awards in Japan and Best Supporting Actress for Hamabe-san ( Blue Ribbon Awards )
while he only Nominated for Japan Academy Awards, he deserves to win that Award but they gave it to the veteran Actor Koji Yakusho
Odo Island is the island where Gojira (Godzilla) first appears back in the first Godzilla movie, and the echo sound at the of Godzilla's roar is from wax pulled along cello strings
