      It represents Nick's social anxiety and the tragedy of his inability to truly make friends that are outside of the few he has, when face to face with this guy near him, he thinks to himself about how much he wants to finally make a new friend that dosen't act off with him or seems to not respect him, he attempts to start a conversation but it does absolutely nothing, and he says nothing else cause he accepts his fate at being an awkward individual who's a slave to his own love for science

      To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Godzilla (1998). The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of nuclear physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Nick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Godzilla (1998) truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Godzilla's existencial catchphrase "rawr" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Roland Emmerich's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Godzilla (1998) tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

      The original Godzilla was made by a country that lived through horrors no other country has. 1954 Goji was an embodiment of nuclear terror. A tragic creature born out of our greatest mistakes who’s here to punish us for our crimes. The sacred beast of the apocalypse
      Godzilla at his core is meant to remind us how small we really are when compared to nature. He’s an unstoppable force of nature. Like a hurricane or tsunami, there’s nothing you can do about it other than run away and hide
      Zilla is a great Kaiju but didn’t capture that essence. His son did a better job at living up to the name Godzilla in Godzilla The Series.

      See, there's three ways to judge this movie.
      As a monster movie: fine, enjoyable, but nothing that special.
      As a movie: not great. Has a lot of the same tropes as other Emmerich movies, and worse than usual (imo).
      As a Godzilla movie: genuinely terrible. Might be one of the worst misrepresentations of a character.
      That said, the monster has appeared in some official Godzilla comics in an attempt to redeem him, which Im for. Would be cool to see him make a comeback somehow.

    I love Tohos' retconning of what this creature is. It's a genetically engineered monster sent by some aliens to kill Godzilla but ended up in New York instead of Tokyo and the Americans mistook it for Godzilla.
    The monster is so ineffective that it didn't even rustle Godzillas jimmies, he's just chilling under the ocean somewhere.

  • @ryancole3058
    @ryancole3058 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Interesting note about Godzilla breathing fire in this movie, there was clearly some debate over weather he actually would be able to do it, which led to this awkward sort of "have it both ways" scene where he sort of roars at some combustible debris, triggering an explosion which could be interpreted as a fireball. Even if Godzilla were breathing fire, it would still have been quite inaccurate, as he is often depicted spewing an atomic blast that didn't even look like fire. The animated series fixes this, showing Godzilla breathing large blue plumes of flame to signify it was atomic in nature, better matching how it looked in the then- current Heisei Era. This is why the internal project title for the animated series was called Blue Harvest. Eagle-eyed readers may also have realized that this was the original production title for Star Wars in 1977.

      To be fair with movies you get past a certain point in poor quality where it begins reaching into ‘so bad it’s good’ territory and begins to have some redeeming factors.
      A movie like this isn’t good, but due to its cheesy nature, the era & genre it’s from, the bad special effects, the cast, etc there are various aspects that can make it understandable for why someone would like it.
      Similar thing when I see movies like Batman & Robin or Howard The Duck listed as the worst of all time. They are *really bad* but they still tell a coherent story so I don’t think they’re unwatchable and I can understand a kid liking them. It’s the movies that stay neither really bad or really good which are the worst. That stinking state of mediocrity.

    I wasn't going to click, but then I saw a VGHS clip in the preview so I had to. Lol. I love your editor.

    Honestly, I love this as much as I hate it mostly because of childhood nostalgia.
    Plus I wouldn't even be a Godzilla Fan without it, so that's the most respect I'll give it.

    During one of the helicopter chase scenes, where they lose Godzilla and can't find him (OR HER) before Godzilla sneaks up and takes them out, my dad commented "Why don't they just fly up so they can see him?"

    Okay, I grew up loving the Godzilla animated show! Our Discovery Zone had a lazer tag room based on the show!

    I liked Godzilla 2014 but I have to admit the moment when they cut away from the first fight I was enraged. Not only because I wanted to see a cool monster movie but because you're like what happened? Did they fought to a standstill and then one of them ran away? Did they just argue politics all night? Was MUTO just too much for Godzilla? Tha faaaaaack.

    I lived next to Madison Square Park (NOT the Garden, for the uninitiated) in NYC when they filmed this movie. That whole army & "a lot of fish" battle was filmed there overnight every night for ... a week (maybe?). That meant we had to put up w giant spot lights on all the buildings all night long, explosions going off, street closures,, hundreds of people, loudspeakers, the works. Although some of the army vehicles were real, most were fake & stationary. And that giant pile of (foam) fish was propped up with plywood--there was no "back side" to it; if you walked a few feet to the left or right of the camera you could see if was essentially just half a pile. OH! & there was a super popular sushi place in Chelsea called Godzilla Sushi. Just a little independent restaurant. Sony went after them before the movie came out & forced them to change their name. They ended up going with Monster Sushi.
