With the context of the full scene of the 1st attack. When he yells and the black rain falls. What would normally make me laugh, made me drop a single tear for his loss.
An absolute masterclass of cinema. Couldn't believe how affecting this film franchise would be. After the Ginza sequence, I just leaned back, breathed out, and realized, "I'm legit crying at a _Godzilla_ film." (Actually went to the TOHO movie studio back in 86', and the Godzilla store in Tokyo last year... so the nostalgia was real with this one XD).
You can't give up. You have to keep going. This is the only advice we can give men. Jay, you're holding in a lot of pain, bro. I feel it. Keep going, man. Keep going.
Singe best Godzilla movie of the last 40 years...they SO deserved an Oscar for this..the male lead should have gotten one too..that scream still haunts me..half the cinema didnt recover from that for an hour or so
Subscribed based totally on the chap on the left's reaction. Your tears, and raw emotion were so touching, and relatable. I'm a 42 user old man, and I've seen this movie about 5 times. I cry at multiple points in the movie every single time I see I. It's taken the top spot as my absolute favourite movie of all time. This movie changed my life for the better. I was in a dark place, and this movie helped bring me out of it. It inspired me to live my life, instead of just existing. Thank you for such an emotionally honest reaction. I was crying right along with you.
This is the best old school godzilla. New school belongs to the current American-made movies. There have always been two Godzillas. I grew up on the anti-hero later Toho version but this movie really hit me in ways i was not expecting.
It has likely already been stated but the budget for the movie was somewhere under 10 million not 15 million. The director himself said he would have killed to have 15 million to work with!
It consistently addles my brain how many common things Adam has never experienced when he's a media-consuming content creator who lives in New York City
At the end movie, you ask what that mark on her is, it was called '' G Cell ''. Apparrley when Godzilla used his atomic blast in the city a piece of his scale got logged into her skin. That is why she was able to survive his blast, she was able to heal like Godzilla. You can look up about '' G Cell '' theory it will tell you more about it.
Godzilla minus one is my favorite movie. I’m afraid of many foreign people don’t understand that meaning of black rain after Noriko was blown out in Ginza. That was the black rain containing large amounts of radiation that we Japanese experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Please enjoy this movie. But please remember that originally Godzilla was Anti-war films. Today is August 6th, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. We, the citizens of Hiroshima, together with the many people who visited Hiroshima for this day, spend this day in requiem. Thank you.
This was a great, probably the best reaction to this movie. It looks like it really put Jay through the wringer. It absolutely should have won more awards and shows that Hollywood movies don’t need these ridiculous budgets, which probably just goes to paying actors and not increasing the actual quality of the movie. Anyway as soon as I saw this video I put it on.
the irony behind shot where godzilla used his atomic breath on the city and him looking up into the sky next to the mushroom cloud is him angry at what god had done to him turning him into a monster while at the same time the protagonist is doing the exact same thing at godzilla.
The Mark on Misuko's neck in the End Hospital scene is the Mark of Godzilla it like a Zombie Bite she will eventually Mutate and TURN INTO A GODZILLA.SO NO you don't get a Happy ending there no cure for it she going to be a Monster someday soon.
I said this in The Normies reaction, but you can tell this Godzilla’s behavior was based on the director’s cat. It also allows you to view his actions as one of two ways. A) His destruction felt more curious and playful than anger. He gets distracted by his own explosions. Even when killing people, he feels like a cat being proud about killing a mouse. It honestly makes him more scary that he both is and isn’t aware of the carnage he’s wrought. B) He is intelligent and sentient like most other incarnations of Godzilla, and is taking his anger out on Japan for the nuke. There's a great fan-monologue about Godzilla's motivations I always loved... "I was the last of my kind, and you turned me into the first. That is why I punish you... because I never though I could be made more alone."
For the kid crying. They apparently just hung around for long enough with the scene in place doing a few takes knowing she'd eventually cry for no good reason. With child actors that young the trick is usually getting them NOT to cry on set.
I love that they tell us they are using freon gas, and that it will sink Godzilla, but they don't mention that freon is also a refrigerant, it absorbs godzilla's heat while he is enveloped in it. Also, as Godzilla inspired Attack on Titan, the scene of the Ginza attack has an homage to the Colossal Titan's attack. When Godzilla's face is slowly revealed through the dissipating dust-clouds.
Yall HAVE to watch the 1954 original, it was SO good, its the original serious, genuinely good, care about humans, emotionally devastating, Godzilla film
Jay, I love your heart man, I needed this movie too ❤ I've seen it a dozen times now and I'm still bawling by the end. I'm a life long Godzilla fan, but I never wouldhave dreamed wed'd get a movie this powerful out of the franchise.
Regarding the G-cells in Noriko (confirmred by the director). Given the extensive trauma she sustained in the blast, she should have been reduced to jello but looked remarkably well except for the left eye patch. If she would have been a hybrid, her regenerated parts would look more Godzilla-like, but she looked like herself. The cells creeping up her neck were on the same side of her damaged left eye which suggest they would heal that remaining damage. I suggest that G-cells only have regenerative powers but not create a hybrid organism like Biollante. Also some of the 30,000 injured people may also have undergone regeneration
The fish died because they are fleeing from Godzilla. Godzilla is quite comfortable in the deep sea, probably enjoys it more, and thus, deep sea fish flee from him. Sadly, a majority of them head to the surface, because he is headed to the surface as well. The fish cannot handle the pressure change and thus, their bodies turn inside out.
Ishiro Honda himself may have cried as much as Jay did, as much as any of us have watching this. WW2 taught him passiveness, and he always tried to tell an emotional story in his films. What an amazing journey that allows you to forget Godzilla even exists at times.
If “Oppenheimer” didn’t exist in 2023? “Godzilla Minus One” would’ve EASILY been nominated and would’ve won Best Picture. This movie was amazing to watch in IMAX. Congrats on your first “Godzilla” experience, Adam!!! 😊👍🏻
If you had listened thru the credits they had Godzillas footsteps getting closer an closer until right at the end you hear the roar. Yes it won awards an drew alot of hate from big movie houses due to it sinking everything that went up against it
So glad this got reposted. Hands down, the best reaction video to this movie that I've seen. And the fish look weird because they've risen from the depth, and the pressure has changed. Thus, unpleasantly, the swift change in pressure has caused their guts to come out through their mouths. And since Godzilla rises from the depths, they're a warning of what's to come.
Probably said before, but anyway... The reason Godzilla, in his first appearance, "yeets" everybody is because Toto has a hard rule that Godzilla never eats anyone. And if you look at all the movies, it's never happened.
I have to say Jay's very emotional reactions to the film made this a more interesting reaction vid than I expected it to be. Suggestion though: were you using the English close-caption subtitles? The translation/language was off. The regular English subtitles were better (I've seen this too many times, can't you tell?) and were listed immediately above the close-caption selection in the Settings menu.
I saw this 3 times in the theater, lost count of how many times on Netflix. Yes, I will buy it. As a Godzilla fan since I was a small child (I was bone in 1953, the year before the original was released), this is in my opinion the very best. I wanted him gone, and I did not want to lose any of the characters I’d become fond of as the movie went on. Now I want to know how the G-cells in Noriko’s system will affect her. According to the director, she did die, but the exposure to G-cells revived her. I believe that in the Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla movie, the cells were responsible for SpaceGodzilla’s creation. Hope we don’t get a Noriko kaiju. How
I'm not sure how angry people were at Kamikaze pilots that came home, but I imagine they experienced a lot of internalized hatred. I honestly never thought they'd make a better Godzilla movie than 'Shin Godzilla' but this is one of the greats!
As much as i like this movie, i only really watch 42 minutes of the 2 hour movie because i genuinely couldnt care less about the drama of a Kamakazi pilot when Godzilla is in the movie.
Beautiful film, probably the best Godzilla film of them all if not easy top 5. I enjoy the earlier Monsterverse stuff for that classic "Vs style" Godzilla, and Shin-Godzilla is high on my list of films as well, but this is just true cinema. If you want another film that gives a good look at what the Japanese civilians went through towards the end of the war I recommend Grave of the fireflies.
The mechanic's biggest regret is that everything he built, all the machines he fixed, all he did, never helped save people's lives, he was a mechanic at a kamikaze's station. It only helped end them. With that ejection seat, at the end, he finally did. It helped end his war too.
I am still amazed at the depth and diversity of the Human drama in this Godzilla movie. Hope, forgiveness, trauma, guilt, fear, love, and courage all beautifully explored with respect and reverence.
Japanese fiction based on war always shanks your heart tbh, yall should react to attack on titan, its an action anime, but with a side of the horror of child soldiers and war 😀
Definitely something he should've, ya know, actually said to the kid and not to himself under his breath. But yeah, it's one of so many great moments in this movie.
@@MDestron2282 Nah I think it works so much better as something that he says to himself and the dude with him. That line probably would have been wasted on that kid, because he wasn’t trying to hear anything other than what he wanted to hear- which was “Okay you can come with us.” I think saying it where only these two men who thought they were marching towards sure death could hear it was perfect, because it reinforced what they were really doing this for. And the kid still showed up anyway so it ultimately just works all-around imo.
Kudos to the core cast of this movie. They take the tropes of previous kaiju films-the scientist, the veteran, the survivor and the inexperienced kid-and use their performances to transform these into believable characters you deeply care about.
With the context of the full scene of the 1st attack. When he yells and the black rain falls. What would normally make me laugh, made me drop a single tear for his loss.
In the theaters, this movie was unreal!
This is hands down the most cathartic and gut wrenching movie I've seen since Enemy at the Gates.
This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿
I've been waiting FOREVER for you guys to watch this movie!!
the best Godzilla movie
Ballooning spiders have been found as high as 16,000ft.
35:40 in children of time by adrian tchaikovsky there's spiders in the atmosphere btw. also i feel like you two would love that series

怪獣映画を観に行ったはずなのに泣いちゃうのは自分も劇場で驚いた
あなたたちは素敵な男たちだ。
This movie crushed everone. Awesome Godzilla movie ever. Thank you for your reactions 😢❤😊
Best Godzilla movie that I've ever seen!!!
THE FEELS folks!
The feels.... ✊🏾
“Lives you have to live”❤
Great reaction 👍You guys are very nice people ❤
The lead actor deserves an Oscar for his performance.
The Ginza sequence wrecked me for weeks.
Singe best Godzilla movie of the last 40 years...they SO deserved an Oscar for this..the male lead should have gotten one too..that scream still haunts me..half the cinema didnt recover from that for an hour or so

When a GODZILLA movie can make you cry...that's a good movie.
I'm really happy and impressed you're watching this guys 🥰😊
Watching Jay cry makes me 😢 😿 😭 😊❤
That dad talk ..... and parts of me want's to live......................... is every father

It WAS the bends: his eyes are white because they're prolapsed out of his skull. 😱
People ask why didn't she just dive with him? But the director said the effect was slowed down. It happened in a second.
The Mark on Misuko's neck in the End Hospital scene is the Mark of Godzilla it like a Zombie Bite she will eventually Mutate and TURN INTO A GODZILLA.SO NO you don't get a Happy ending there no cure for it she going to be a Monster someday soon.
How did this film didn't also get nominated for best musical score

The sound design of this movie is wicked. The sound in theaters was straight up wizard.
It's a frickin masterpiece... like I was back in the 60's watching from under my blanket
The Noriko fake out got me too. End of the film I shook my head and said "you got me".
I love that they tell us they are using freon gas, and that it will sink Godzilla, but they don't mention that freon is also a refrigerant, it absorbs godzilla's heat while he is enveloped in it. Also, as Godzilla inspired Attack on Titan, the scene of the Ginza attack has an homage to the Colossal Titan's attack. When Godzilla's face is slowly revealed through the dissipating dust-clouds.
I'm surprised you guys didn't ask how Godzilla was staying afloat while standing upright in the water lol
Awesome reaction, powerful movie for all the good reasons. Hope everyone will watch it and get the same out of it as you both did.
This movie should have won more Oscars than just the VFX. It’s a masterpiece and one of the best movies I’ve seen in years.
It should’ve won/been nominated for best international feature film at the Oscars.
@@yawkeyboy1996unfortunately Japan submitted another film for consideration so it was too late.
Yup, agree 100 percent. The lead actor and actress really put it in acting and performing their best and it paid off.
They didnt think they had a chance for anything besides VFX iirc, plus it costs money to submit so they were hedging their bets
FACTS!
Yall HAVE to watch the 1954 original, it was SO good, its the original serious, genuinely good, care about humans, emotionally devastating, Godzilla film
Jay, I love your heart man, I needed this movie too ❤ I've seen it a dozen times now and I'm still bawling by the end. I'm a life long Godzilla fan, but I never wouldhave dreamed wed'd get a movie this powerful out of the franchise.
It’s a smart and believable plan to take out Godzilla. No fancy ray guns or super hi-tech space craft
THIS MOVIE IS SOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD!!!!!!!! MY FIRST JAPANESE GODZILLA MOVIE I SAW IN THEATERS!!!!!!! WHICH WAS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!!
This movies destroys anyone with an ounce of humanity. An absolute masterpiece.
15 million. This film cost one episode of the Acolyte.😂

I've seen this move 10 times now and I still cry several times throughout the movie
Glad you enjoyed Godzilla Minus One I think if you haven't seen them some of the other Godzilla films are good
This is the first Godzilla film that actually makes you care about the humans and their story.
The director of this movie, Takashi Yamazaki, wants to do a Star Wars movie, and I'm all for it!
The fish died because they are fleeing from Godzilla. Godzilla is quite comfortable in the deep sea, probably enjoys it more, and thus, deep sea fish flee from him. Sadly, a majority of them head to the surface, because he is headed to the surface as well. The fish cannot handle the pressure change and thus, their bodies turn inside out.
Glad to see this back :)
$15m = less than an acolyte episode
Ishiro Honda himself may have cried as much as Jay did, as much as any of us have watching this. WW2 taught him passiveness, and he always tried to tell an emotional story in his films. What an amazing journey that allows you to forget Godzilla even exists at times.
Majin Godzilla over here with the Regen
I love how emotional Jay gets, I'm not sure if you reacted to this movie but please do "John Q"
Or. The pursuit of happiness
They should get an award for spenng sd little and making so much.😅
Its a brilliant movie. So well made. Its haunting and you will be thinking about it for days after.

they timed the filming sessions to her naptime 😊
Ive seen a lot of Godzilla movies in my life and this is by far THE BEST one ever. Its just incredible.
“We leave you the future” is a line that I have thought about a lot since this movie came out.
It crushed me and immediately flooded my eyes.
Me to, the tears immediatly started flowing...

So glad y'all watched this. What a fantastic movie! Great reactions!!!
Visual effects for the Oscar’s in America they got more awards in the home country there version of the Oscar’s
This movie was phenomenal.
I must have seen this movie at least a dozen times but I think watching it with you guys was one of the most fun of the experiences I've had!
Godzilla, a literal, nearly unstoppable monster, is the best metaphor for combat PTSD I can think of. *Trying to drown it is chef's kiss.
