Pretty sure none of us had "Cry during a Godzilla movie" on our bingo card, but here we all are!
Fr I was like why are they crying
@@theperfectbeing765 godzilla vs destoroyah make me cry 😢
@@Gojicam oh what I meant to say doing this movie
Yep. I came in just expecting Godzilla destroying Tokyo and not really caring about the plot.
I walked out of that theater in shock at just how wrong I was and how good this movie is.
@@theperfectbeing765 oh
That resigned smile while walking away, saying, "We leave you the future." Masterfully done.
Well Executed 🔥 so Many Bars and Iconic Lines in this film that really hits you hard 😢
that part made bawl, man 😭
Music that makes you feel emotional😢
Gets me every time
I was so “happy” to see her reaction to that line. It hit me hard too. Glad others felt it as well
The mechanic's biggest regret is that he wasn't able to save anyone. In the end, he did.
Oh damn
In fact, his whole career he repaired planes so they could deliver kids to their certain deaths in kamikaze attacks... I think it was redeeming for him to finally use his skills to make sure someone got home alive instead.
Actually at 41:00 when he looks at the seat you can see this big fat white sign with red letters. It's german and says "Druckluft Schleudersitz Bestätigung" literally translated "compressed air ejection seat conformation". Sooo uh in a weird way the Nazis saved the pilot... but hey, the mechanic did a great job for telling him about the ejector seat 😅
@@RickPat94 In WW2, Axis countries do exchange their tech, and Nazi use u-boat to send Japan empire some aircraft machinery
He seemed to have had an off screen epiphany about the cruelty of sending kamikaze pilots to their deaths and getting angry that one of them weren't eager to die. It's almost as if that Godzilla attack made the fear of death real to him.
One thing to note Tachibana was a mechanic that worked on kamikaze planes sending them off to their death so him saving Koichi he himself ended his war
Oof, that's a good point, didnt think about that before!
wowwww
My you want to make this grown man cry again.
What a catch!
Indeed!
Great interpretation about mr. tachibana!
確かに！
橘について、素晴らしい解釈ですね！！
Interesting tidbit you mentioned that George Lucas. It so happens that Steven Spielberg watched this movie, not once but three times, and told that to the director of this movie that he loved it.
Me: "LOL I'm not crying duing a Godzilla movie."
The next 2 hours: "😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭"
“We leave you the future.”
“Is your war finally over?”
The two lines powerful enough to stand up against Godzilla’s breath!
Don't forget Noda-san's powerful speech and Tachibana-san 's One Liner " LIVE " 😢
There's just something extra scary about being in the wide open ocean, and there is a colossal radioactive fire breathing swimming lizard who specifically decided to chase YOU. YES YOU
I don't think anyone expected for a Godzilla movie to be this emotional.
A Real Godzilla Movie needs to be Emotional 😢
The you havent watched the original one...
Watch the 54 Gojira
@@OrdemDoGravetoYa but this and the original are soooo different. You can say that all you want but this movie is better than the original.
@@bobbyfischer9927 I didnt Said anything about one being better then the other. Just that If you ever watched the original, or any of the good movies, its nothing unexpected...
There were a lot of emotional scenes in this movie. The back to back scene of Noda's soft response to a subordinate's interpretation of "go home to spend time with family" as "be prepared" for your death and Noda and Captain Akitsu not allowing "Kozo" (Kid) Mizushima on the mission hit me the most. The soundtrack for the scene, "Pride", perfectly hit the emotional spot.
When Akitsu and Noda refused to let Kozo participate on the mission, I felt this was their personal closure to the war. As veterans of WW2 who saw many young men receive tragic one-way mission and die in vain, they wanted to at least save one young man's life when possible. The whole dialogue was great too. It may not be exact, but this what I remembered:
The Kid: Why won't you allow me to go with you?
The Captain: Kozo..Not having been to war is something to be proud of. (Noda and Captain start walking away)
The Kid: Please...take me with you. We've been a team for a long time. I want to defend my country! I beg you! PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU! WHY ARE YOU LEAVING ME!!! Noda-soma! Captain!
The Captain: (speaking softly) We leave you......the future.
That atomic breath attack, from the bio-mechanical ratcheting to the shot, to the explosion set a new standard for what an attack from Godzilla SHOULD feel like. It was like the cherry on the top of an AMAZING character drama
The Human Drama was top Tier 🔥
One new little detail I appreciated, was that using his atomic breath actually harmed him. Sure, it was counteracted by his insanely fast healing abilities, but in many of the previous versions I recall (mainly all of the older Japanese versions, and only two of the American versions), they basically made it seem like it didn't hurt him at all, so this was a cool addition.
The director appears to have heavily based it on how he brought the wave motion gun into live action from his adaption of "space battleship yamato"
@@oliverbooth2872 Neat! I stil need to get around to watching his adaptation of Space Battleship Yamato.
One little detail that blew my mind, was that the dataset for the water simulation in Godzilla Minus One consumed +500TB, all on its own. O_o
@@andrewcoleman3741 Agreed, I think that in itself actually makes this Godzilla more sympathetic to me than the American Godzilla. Truly a creature of anger and hurt whose strongest attack hurts even himself.
I think the idea of the fish is that because they’re deep sea fish, they’re getting caught in Godzilla wake as he swims up, so they themselves suffer rapid decompression resulting in their stomachs ballooning out of their mouths.
wow, great explanation !
By far the best Godzilla film to date. We are avid fans of going to the theater, and Godzilla -One was.the most fun of 2023. The audience was full of audible reactions, and the cheering at the end was a new experience. Probably because nobody had any idea of what we were getting into. Great reaction, instant fan of you guys.
america?
I went to see Minus Color and some older ladies sat behind me. When they found out Koichis fate one of them said out loud "yes!". When the movie ended they clapped. It was a very fun moment.
@@Generali087 america moment.
"We leave you the future".
As a grown man I'm proud to say that brought on the waterworks. When you think about everything thats happened up to that point.... that one line hit home on so many levels.
A masterwork in storytelling.
I also watched it initially with the English dub just to see how it was. It was "ok". Not great, but not overly bad like some are.
Watching it in native Japanese with the English subtitles was FAR superior. You really felt the lines, emotion, overtones hit so much harder.
Also - Huge props to the team knowing when to have the musical score kick in and when not to.
Great example was when Godzilla was chasing them and they manage to detonate the mine his mouth.
Right here you'd normally get some big crescendo score kick in trying to add more suspense to the scene.
Here.... just the sound of water rushing off Godzilla as he emerges in full form after his mouth section regenerates and you see him in full for the first time post Operation Crossroads.
Just water and then silence when you see him emerge. And the sight of him........ just plain terrifying.
That's how you do it!
So, some various details about the film:
On your "TSD" vs "PTSD" - *_Shin Godzilla_* has a line about Japan's struggle which is that _“the post-war period extends forever”_ which is extremely true of how that type of trauma extends constantly. Even the theme of the title *_Minus One_* is that when you think you've lost so much that you have nothing left - you can still lose more.
Post-war Japan had a MASSIVE existential struggle with the loss of identity from the honor of duty, and a lack of identity (even before the American Occupation and Reverse Course policy gutted all the anti-war groups as pro-Communist and essentially reenabled the broken ex-Imperial groups for military support). His neighbor berating him for not dying on his kamikaze mission at the opening and then having the EXACT same reaction when she thought he did die later on encapsulates that identity struggle - _because both would have taken away the people she loved._
This theme as it relates to PTSD is at the core of Japanese media like Miyazaki's films, Naruto, One Piece, etc. and goes back over 600 years to Noh theater depicting the psychological trauma associated with the schism of this near-irreconcilable struggle of Samurai attempting to find a way to live after a peace from civil war made them experience a sense of betrayal whether they lived or died, and plays into that pain given physical form like a natural disaster especially the way Japan cognitively dealt with the aftermath of the atomic bombings.
Godzilla here is specifically is portrayed as a Tatarigami (a Curse God) like the headless Forest Spirit in *_Princess Mononoke_* where that pain and rage is inherited. It's why he doesnt turn against the Americans because of the bomb, but comes after Japan. It informs the tone of collective reverence as Godzilla dies rather than celebration, as well as contextualize why she's left with that Godzilla-linked wound that keeps her alive even as it prevents Godzilla from being killed.
Related: In the scene where she saves Shikishima and he's primal screaming in the obliterated Ginza, the black rain falling is caused by the heat creating vapor clouds that condense the radioactive ash and pour it back down. Most of the survivors of the atomic bombings had their physical burns cooled by radioactive fallout that killed them from radiation poisoning years later, and even the quarantine zone of the area implicitly hints at that with Shikishima, making the ending of the film bittersweet no matter what happens.
The Shinden was a real experimental aircraft from the end of the war and only 2 were ever made. One was taken by the Americans and the other was scrapped. The one made for the film was accurate and anonymously donated to a Japanese WWII museum before later being revealed as having been made for the film. It's largely representative of the idea of a possible future that Japan never got to realize to save itself represented in the core story of Shikishima's character, but especially the mechanic making that into something to keep him alive with an ejector seat rather than sacrifice him.
Lastly, one of the director's first films is *_Returner_* which is a sci-fi action flick I absolutely love and think you might have a good time with. It's got a lot of anime as live action energy to it (in a good way), and even if not as a reaction, I think you'd appreciate it for how it helps to frame the director's sense of storytelling that eventually evolved into this.
I really love how the entire plan to sink Godzilla is actually really solid and led entirely by civilians instead of the military.
The “We leave you to the future” line got me to break. It’s so refreshing to see someone who gets it
If you watch the facial regeneration scene, you notice that Gojira does have eyelids. Once he is regenerated, he opens his eyes and becomes conscious.
Ginza is part of Tokyo.
Tokyo is like a many city’s complex.
Ginza is one of the fanciest city in Tokyo That why Noriko was dressing nice like that.
I hope you guys come to Japan one day If you’ve never been here yet.
I think you guys would like it.
The Shinden that Shikishima flies is an actual Japanese fighter jet. However, the war ended without ever being used in the ww2.
The director later commented that he wanted to use it in this movie because it was not used in the war.
That fighter plane was an actual design from the very end of the war - "Shinden" (Magnificent Lightning). . Only a few prototypes actually flew, but it would have been super maneuverable and fast.
Just FYI
The fighter plane that Koichi flew in during the final mission actually exists.
"J7W Shinden"
The only surviving aircraft is on display at a Smithsonian institution.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyushu_J7W_Shinden
They were test flown on both days the atomic bombs were dropped.
It looks like Rick hunter's racing plane from Robotech (Macross).
It is one of those planes, that had it hit earlier in the war, it might have made history change... Isn't quite like had germany pushed jets more, but it was built to get to B-29's. The symbolism is real.
It's important to note that the Shinden looks like a Zero fighter with the front and back reversed. Unfortunately, the Zero fighter was a fighter plane used to die in kamikaze attacks. The director made it significant that the Shinden moves in the opposite direction.
The black mark on Noriko's neck at the end of the movie is a nod to the original movies where Godzillas cells that fell off of it during its atomic breath are attached to people like it did to Noriko which gave her regeneration like he has. They are essentially living separate parts of Godzilla that live as long as Godzilla is alive. This is used to create a new monster to fight Godzilla in the old movies.
We might get to see either Biollante or SpaceGodzilla, or maybe even both in the future that will take place in the 20th century.
this also helps explain as to how she survived the very obviously deadly explosion in Ginza
That's not a nod to the original movies, because that NEVER happened in any of the older movies.
So you're saying... Sequel??
Tekashi the director confirmed that the black mark is indeed the G-CELLS. In the original films they were used to make SpaceGodzilla and Biolentte. Its definitely a cool nod lol
This movie is so freaking amazing! 😍 Godzilla is a really scary monster here and not a cute variant of itself like in the US versions even if I like those too. 😅 This movie was something else! I love and care about the humans in the story. I rarely do that in other Godzilla movies. That's what makes it incredibly well made.
40:45 i am so glad i am not the only one who cried at that part 😭
Be sure to watch it to the end of the credits, you hear Godzilla's foot steps getting closer, then a final roar with the last of the credits.
Anyone who's seen the original 1954 film will know that's exactly how it starts.
Godzilla has a long history of being critical towards the government. The original criticized the post-war government heavily. More recently, the bureaucratic bungling of the rapidly evolving 2011 Fukushima tsunami and nuclear powerplant disaster is reflected in Shin Godzilla.
I was so invested in this that I hadn't noticed the underb**b until after about 50 minutes.
Good Observation 👍
It's literally all I can see, no matter how hard I try not to. Damnit male brain
@@R32Copper I didn't see Godzilla on this whole 1 hr 12 mins video 😢
should have gotten you more invested
If underboob is stronger than the chunky godzilla something is wrong with you my dude
American Godzilla movies be like "Big lizard go RAWR!"
Japanese Godzilla movies be like "In this film, rather than the specter of nuclear holocaust, Godzilla will represent the collective PTSD that militarization inflicts on a nation. We will use him as a backdrop as we explore the difference between duty and heroism, between self-preservation and cowardice, and how context affects the meaning of sacrifice. Also big lizard go RAWR."
Had this been a Hollywood movie, Sumiko would have remained a bitter Karen throughout. She ended up being my favorite character. Giving up her stash of rice to feed Akiko-- and Noriko's wordless bow of respect-- was a powerful scene.
The VFX team, including director Takashi Yamazaki, won an Oscar for the Visual Effects. The budget for this entire film is reportedly less than $15 million. I didn't know if you were aware of this or not. 🙂
Fun fact: This only marks the 2nd time in Oscars history where the film's director wins Best VFX Oscar category. The only other director to do this: Stanley Kubrick for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY.
@@axr7149 Yes, that's right! So, Kubrick and Yamazaki are in the same company! 🙂
So glad you enjoyed this movie. I have seen every Godzilla movie and I can state that Godzilla minus One is the best of them all. The fact that they made this movie for under $15 million is crazy. Setting aside the fantastic looks, the story and characters are all fantastic. I found I could relate to or at least understand every character. The character motivations had a simplistic complexity that didn't need to be over explained but requires subtle hints either from the actors or lines of dialogue that you had to think about for a moment to fully get it.
I was very lucky to see this in theaters and I can say that the music, when they are on the four ships at the end, hits so hard I almost jumped out of my seat! I wish it had been a packed house but sadly only about 15 other people were in the theater with me. Still, it was an amazing experience on the big screen! Honestly, I would feel very lucky if just one movie a year hit as hard as this one did!
Really? Only 15 people?
For Americans and most of the rest of the world, Godzilla is just a giant monster, and giant monsters terrorizing cities are fun to watch. But for Japan, the Godzilla (Gojira) mythology was a way of processing their collective trauma from being the only country in the world to suffer a nuclear attack.
"was a way of processing their collective trauma"
Right ... because imperial japan was one of the most innocent countries at the time.
Let's not make a comment making Japan a victim now
@@Steven-hu9us -I'm not discounting their history of brutality. I know what they did to the Chinese, and it's unforgivable. BUT, as being the only country to be bombed by nuclear weapons, this particular trauma was unique and unprecedented.
@Steven-hu9us You do understand that there were tons of Japanese citizens who opposed the war, right? Not everyone was happy with the war, and you painting the country as a whole as exclusively imperialist and pro-war is just flat out wrong.
miss me with all that, you’re trying too hard. You do realize that to this day, A LOT of Japanese citizens not only deny but some don’t even acknowledge what the country has done in the past ? Like it’s never happened ?
No one cares about your personal feelings, nor will this comment earn you extra points from Japanese people. I say this because I literally only said “imperial Japan” in my comment, which it WAS known as. And here you are crying ,
“You’re painting the entire japan as cruel and imperialist, and pro-war when they weren’t and that’s wrong ! 😭”
History doesn’t care about your feelings kid. I said what I said, objectively speaking. Go tell your subjective views to someone else who cares.
Japan literally said let us show you how to make a Godzilla movie with the fraction of the budget and marginally better
Marginally better? It's LEAGUES better. More leagues than that trench they tried to kill Godzilla in.
Don't worry guys. I sobbed in the same parts. This movie is so amazing and I would say this is my favorite godzilla movie so far too.
Not only the special effects, but the acting and the writing are just top-notch.
Don't forget best use of a $9M-$15M production budget.
I'm not a huge Godzilla fan, seen a handful of the mostly 'modern' ones and enjoyed them well enough. Some friends invited me to come along and see this one, which I'd heard good things about and was curious. I'll be damned if in my 50 years I'd have ever imagined a friggin subtitled kaiju movie would get my waterworks running...several times. A lot of people are spouting off how Hollywood should take notes on how to make a movie on a smaller budget. I just say they should take notes on how to make a good movie, period.
Periodt 🔥💯🔥
Hollywood used to know how to make great films. Now, it’s all about the money. They don’t appear to care much about creative content anymore.
the scene with the small boat being followed by Godzilla reminded me of Jaws. I imagined them saying "I think we need a bigger boat".
That’s intentional. The director is a huge Spielberg fan and told him that scene was inspired by Jaws.
It's definitely an homage. Some shots are almost a perfect mimic
Then the bigger boat _does_ show up lol
I was watching it with a friend (over discord, we started the movie simlutaneously) and I typed to him: "okay so we went from a post-war family drama to jaws"
and he replied with "they're REALLY going to need a bigger boat"
@@Telcontar86 LOL. I didn't even think of that
I rarely cry during movies, but this one sorta managed it. Similar to you guys some of these lines really hit home with me, especially the ''We leave you the future'' or when Tachibana tells Shikishima to live. The writing and dialogue in this movie was stellar, one of my favourite movies of all time for sure. Anyways, this was quite an entertaining reaction
Any and all Japanese Godzilla movies should be watched in their native language. I was a maniac and watched em all in like a 3 month span late last year early this year, and I couldn't imagine seeing them with a goofy dub. Even the sillier movies (which there are plenty) just feel more natural and, dare a say for movies with guys in big rubber suits, just more real in Japanese. Having said all that, Minus One is by far the heaviest most emotional movie. I didn't even mean to watch this entire reaction, but it's just so damn good. LOL
Something I‘ve always loved about the Toho Godzilla films is that his varying size is used as a storytelling tool. In some previous films (no spoilers, don‘t worry), he‘s scared and lost. He doesn‘t want to cause damage, but due to his sheer size, even him just “passing through“ leaves mountains of destruction. That‘s how Legendary characterizes him as well, him simply existing causes mayhem. Here, Big G is a straight up slasher villain. He‘s like Jason Voorhees slashing through crowds. His smaller stature here means he has to put more effort into creating this chaos, which as a royally pissed villain he‘s more than happy to do.
A more smaller Goji can also definitely notice humans more which makes this one extra scary.
@@rosenrot234 Yes, it makes it way more personal.
If a person leaves with dry eyes after watching this film, they truly have no heart.
i was sleeping during this movie, lol
@@Speedykun8737 Troll.
@@Speedykun8737You’re kidding, right?
@@Speedykun8737 shouldn't you do that to shin? Especially the boring government scenes
One of the things that struck me about this movie is just how gorgeous the cinematography is at times.. I'm still like.. wow.
7:44 I thought bro was drinking cough syrup. 😂 Like damn, just casually living crazy.
It was not a babie ,more like a godzillasaurus.
A cryptid, like the Lockness monster, sasquatch or mokele mbembe.
A living dinosaur, until the atomic bomb mutated it.
I believe the decision to show Noriko alive at the end highlighted the main theme of the movie ' Choose to live is the right decision ' , which is also why they make it so that the mechanic told him about the ejection seat, so he can choose to live or not.
Saw this 3 times in IMAX and 2 more times in a regular Theater and shed tears every time.
Saying that, I just happened to come across you and this reaction and because of your emotions you've gained a subscriber.
Will be checking you and your Channel.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cried at least 5-10 times in the movie. SO many emotional and heartfelt moments and lines that just hits you in the chest. It's such a good movie to watch, many times over.
I think it also feels like 'life gets you down hard' and this is humanity's fight against the unfairness of life, the government of social/policy system set in place, just humanity at its core.
The voice lines are so well done, the music, the tone, the characters and actors, the loss and love.
Totally the love the doctor who reference " Just this once Rose... Everybody lives!" this movie was great. In black and white it looks even better. I'm the same way I just wanna watch whatever language the original actors saying the lines intended.
So glad to see you two do this movie. It's amazing. The homages to the early 50s movies... The fact it was done for like 15 million and won best SFX, chefs kiss
@25:20 -- yes, the atomic bomb just made him bigger and meaner, because godzilla was already a result of poisoning from radioactive waste. in the godzilla movieverse, it's established lore that the bikini atoll test explosion was a secret american attempt to destroy the beast.
I took my tween girls to the theater for this. It was so worth it!
This is going to be great. Been following Godzilla since I was 5 (in 1974) and Raymond was in it (saturday matinee). Scared me like crazy and now 50+ years later Godzilla is STILL my favorite monster movie (original of course). This is in my top 3 now. Beautiful movie and well made.
Thanks Nerdy Nightly for the reaction!
I swear, if you don't tear up at least a little at the end of this film, you're not human.
Only bummer thing is that the subtitles are often a little wrong here and there. I don't quite understand why, since the literal translations usually make perfect sense in English as well, but for some reason they're kind of changed.
Like when they're walking away from him at 40:27 the subtitles say "Not having been to war is something to be proud of", but the Japanese line is actually "Not having been to war is something to be very happy about", and later they don't say "We leave you the future", they say "We leave the future of this country in your hands". Not sure why they wouldn't just go with the literal translations there, and many other places.
Godzilla.The council grants you the rank of Master. And offer's you a seat on the council.
The “Minus One” in the title- the director said that World War II brought Japan to “zero.” So Godzilla shows up and brings it to “Minus One.”
Tachibana didn't put the ejector seat in. They gave it away to people who speak German. When Tachibana was first looking in the cockpit you can see the label.
Why did you conclude that Tachibana could not read German? Tachibana is a talented engineer. It would not be surprising if he studied mechanical engineering at university. If that was the case, he would have naturally learned the German language of an industrially advanced country with which he had an alliance.
First of all, regardless of whether Tachibana wanted to install an escape route or not, such a thing did not exist in Japan at the time. The real fighter plane, the Shinden, was a cutting-edge aircraft that was still in the testing stage. In actual history, the Shinden did not have an escape route. It is a well-known fact that the Zero fighter was not equipped with an escape route, but it seems that the director decided that the Shinden, which is not so well-known, would allow for such a fictional setting.
@@no41jupiter I'm not concluding that he couldn't read german.
I'm assuming that german speakers knew there was an ejection seat in the plane since the label on the seat was in german. Tachibana didn't install the ejection seat. It was there already.
@@no41jupiter sigh, you are the one not getting this. Just like Vadar, German ppl know. You are the fool in this
30:13 she try so hard to not to cry....
I saw this in the theater in IMAX. It was incredible. You felt it like you were in the city when Godzilla was rampaging. This was soooo good. So emotional. It's amazing that this was made on a budget of 10-15 million. Puts all of Hollywood to shame.
Great reactions by the Nerd Nightly duo. Godzilla Minus One is Toho's well-earned achievement. The first time I rooted for the humans' survival in a Godzilla film. The next installment will be worth the wait.
The beautiful thing about it is that you can take Godzilla out of this movie completely and not very much would change.
" We leave you the future."
No, Godzilla was the centerpiece of the film's beauty this version in particular, he was so emotional in and of itself as a character, his rage is anger his maliciousness.I've never seen anything like it.Depicted in a godzilla film
@@CameronStewart-oc4de You can replace Godzilla with any natural disaster
I've watched it 3 times now fully and like 5 reactions so far. Amazing film, one of the best of last year.
Yeah, I watched this the day it came out on streaming and...had a very similar "why can't I stop CRYING" reaction to it. :D
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE THAT IS....GODZILLA MINUS ONE!!!!😔😢😭💔😌😊❤👏🙌🙏👍🎉🇯🇵
Ginza is like timessquare, its like a square km ish of land thats super upscale commercial area inside of Tokyo, I'm guessing thier house since it was incinerated by the fire bombings is also in the inner wards of Tokyo, so it'd be like 20-30 min bike ride away from thier home.
最初は男性の方が泣いていたのに、ずっとクールに観ていた女性が途中で涙腺崩壊する所が良かった。もらい泣きした。わかるよ、あのシーン自分も大好き。色々見たけどこの二人のリアクション特に好きかもしれない。
This is legit the only time i didn't want the atomic breath to happen in a godzilla movie
43:33 Godzilla quick rise to surface brought the surrounding under water ocean with him because of his gravity pull. The fish died because it can't handle that quick decompression, that is why we see their stomach coming out of their mouth like that.
The train trolly was built in the 1920's and had robust brakes as it had to make many stops along it's route. it averaged 10 to 17 mph.. Unfortunatly it needed to come to a complete stop and took awhile to go into reverse and get up to it's top speed of 25 mph. Had it backed out of Godzillas way he might have just kept moving forwards.
The newsmen on top of the building filming Goji as he wrecks the city is an 'homage' to a similar scene in the 1954 movie.
You’re right about the marking on Noriko. It’s called the Godzilla Gene. She probably absorbed it during the blast. Regeneration gene
It was so worth seeing this movie in theaters! It was such a surreal experience ❤ definitely one of if not the best Godzilla movie I have ever seen in my life! It made me sob my eyes out, This movie definitely deserved the Oscar!!
Godzilla is the scariest he’s ever been and the characters are so incredible! The action is intense and amazing! I love your reaction so much! Thank you for watching this masterpiece!!✨♥️😊
As a Godzilla fan, you can’t ask for more.
In actual history, the war ended when the first test flight of the fighter Shinden("Magnificent Lightning") was made, and no official aircraft existed.
It was supposed to have the ability to fly at an altitude of 8,500 meters at 740 kilometers per hour and attack B-29 bombers flying at high altitudes.
I, for one, would like underboob tops to become a more common thing.
Bring on the waterworks. I still find it astonishing that a Godzilla movie could make me cry not once but twice. This movie is such a masterpiece, it instantly ruined every Hollywood Godzilla movie for me. There's just no excuse for shallow and mindless Hollywood spectacle when Minus One managed to create a captivating story with engaging characters and stunning visuals for a tenth of the cost.
P.S. Another thing about Noriko having some piece of Godzilla in her is that aside from the healing factor they also have a readymade explanation why she any child of hers might have some sort of telepathic connection to Godzilla in future movies.
they are obviously different! and the statement for mindless spectacle is most narrowed minded immature and piss poor excuse to not like the monsterverse and I am tired of people like you and it looks like you don't know or ignore that the sci fi, fantasy, adventurous, fun side of godzilla exists!
Hollywood or monsterverse obviously tried to be a cinematic universe with versatile stories and this is a reason I am starting to hate on minus one even if I love it due to this stupid mindset that is dividing the godzilla community!!!
@@jameskullu2413so we are suppose to agree what you think? If we like minus one better then the monster verse that's our business! You like mindless bashing in the monsterverse . that's on you. Im not going to call you names because i don't agree which one is better. Show some self control. Minus one has a more mature script. If you don't agree. That's fine.
@@dolphinsrr It's nice of you that you can tolerate these responses, the real problem is when people uss minus one as their excuse to look mature and bash on monsterverse in a piss poor way, I am truly TIRED of these people
日本人として一言。
ハリウッドのゴジラ・モンスターバースの成功がなければ、シン・ゴジラもゴジラマイナスワンも作られなかっただろう。
日本のゴジラファンは、モンスターバースに感謝している。
@@SK-tl6mk Thank you so much! I am glad that many japanese fans with you love and enjoy the monsterverse instead of hating it without idiotic reasons (like saying that they ruined godzilla or treating it like a bad live action anime adaptation). It's true that without the monsterverse, minus one wouldn't exist and because of these stupid people even other fans who bash on monsterverse should stop. Let's unite the godzilla community for the future fans!
Two things:
Gazilla never die, it just missing in action then come back.
Maybe they will name it “Godzilla Zero” for next one.
Nice reaction. FYI. Godzilla is very much buoyant. So you nailed that. Heck, he has thunder thighs, too. But always an be buoyant
P S. The black was radiation from G. Not a good thing
Under boob is underrated
I also broke down after "we leave u the future" line. Claroos ain't alone ✌🏽 this movie fucked me up in ways a Godzilla movie had no business doing
also, what's written on Nerdy's sleeves? couldn’t read it but looks familiar
I've never got 'got' so fast 😭
That whole scene. One thing people miss. Everyone has pride for fighting for Japan. I felt isn't his reason as justified. I understand for leaving the future to him. But he wanted a purpose too😢
I don’t think he has to paddle his feet or tail to stay afloat because Godzilla has neutral buoyancy in water, I think he has the ability to control his buoyancy much like a diver who has an air vest, who can either let air out to reduce buoyancy or add air to increase buoyancy, but when a weighty object is surrounded by a stream of gases it will sink. This is a known phenomena that has happened to some ships in the ocean where methane gas is released and ships directly over top of the water over the gas release are sunk to the bottom of the ocean. At the end of the movie, we see a dark spot on Noriko’s neck, which is regenerator G1 cells blasted onto her body which saved her life regenerating what would have been terminal wounds suffered when she was blasted away. As to how Godzilla’s cells affect Noriko in the future is anybody’s guess.
Godzilla is the Duck of Doom- he'd treading water.
'We leave you the future' fuck i cried at the cinema when they said that!!! cried now 😭
Fantastic reaction. Whether it was many lines or simply just one, glad this movie was able to resonate with y'all.
this is why Japanese Godzilla movies are so much better than the American ones, the American Godzilla movies are mainly all about action and no substance. While the Japanese movies like Minus One also focuses alot on the characters and relationships, there's more complexity to the story and writing in the Japanese Godzilla movies.
Yep 👍
The USA doesn't have good writers.
The plane at the end is real. I think the shape of the plane looks weird too but it is a real plane. It’s name is Kyūshū J7W Shinden (magnificent lighting). It is a propeller-driven prototype fighter plane made by Japan during the end of WW2 with wings at the rear of the fuselage, a nose-mounted canard, and a pusher engine. So instead of the engine being in the front to ‘pull’ the plane, shinden’s engine is in the back to ‘push’ the plane.
Three were made. One was taken to the Smithsonian as a war trophy. The second disappeared and probably burned during the air raids. And last year, a third one without a real engine was donated to a museum- this one. This model could be rebuilt with a real engine and a few refinements, and it would be airworthy.
I saw the American Godzilla and King Kong movie that cost 10x more than Minus 1 a month after seeing Minus 1. Minus 1 was a better movie in every way possible. Even the FX looked better on Minus 1.

"Japanese Godzilla movies keep him as a force of nature."
Ah, depends on the movie.
Total dickhead in some movies (like this one). Cooperates with other monsters and such to defend humanity in others
And baby godzilla is always cute and friendly.
I never thought I would ever shed a tear in a Godzilla film, but fk this one got me good.
The year is 2045, the franchise continues with “Godzilla (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3 ; (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)”
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣
So a=-b? And ab = -ab?
@@JAce94007it’s a Boolean group
hahaha nice. It might just be me but I feel it's common knowledge that origin stories in an existing franchise are designated "Zed" or Zero. But in this case the original 1954 movie can be considered Zero therefore this new one is Minus One. I think everyone was pleased. Then westerners started asking about it so they had to make up a story why the title.
I think it makes more sense as a number in a franchise (but they had to scramble to make up an explanation for those who don't get it outright.)
This movie had a budget of like $12 million. That’s INSANE considering how good it looks. I’m sure some corners were cut and SFX artists were treated…not great, but the end product is *exceptional* either way
The Director himself did most of vfx and was able to tweak it over a long period of time on his computers and such.
Had heard it was around 10 million but regardless they did a fantastic job.... 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
$15 million is the official calculated budget. which is INSANE when typical Hollywood movies have a budget of $200m plus, but look significantly worse. This movie is honestly a HUGE wake up call for Hollywood.
the first time Shikishima sees the "specially made craft", reminds me of when Luke Skywalker sees the Millenium Falcon for the first time, and you can plug that conversation here:
Shikishima, "What a piece of junk!"
Noda, "I know she doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts. Plus, I made a few special modifications myself..."
Ginza isn't a city, it's the shopping district of Tokyo...
私が20代の時は若者は殆ど銀座に集まりました。 東京駅の隣の有楽町駅の界隈です。今でも？地価が一番高いです。 When I was in my twenties, most young people gathered in Ginza. It was the area around Yurakucho Station, next to Tokyo Station. Even now? Land prices are the highest.
True
Just to be clear, the Godzilla on Odo Island was "not" a baby, it was a full grown adult that survived the a nuke and mutated (a common trope in 50's and 60's era monster films.
I love the implication that the japanese were just dealing with attacks from this random dinosaur. It's just really funny.
This is the most jaw dropping I’ve seen on a reaction. Then the emotions. I’m surprised it didn’t win more awards.
Minus One felt so much like the original Godzilla from 1954. Just the sheer devastation and loss. Also scenes in between of citizens just trying to pick up the pieces and go on, never sure exactly when Godzilla would return.
They even made a black-and-white version too when they released it worked just as well without color
What’s wild is that this movie coast only 10 to 12 Million dollars to make… for context, the recent film “Abigail” coast 28 million… so the special effects house deserve a raise because they really did something special with what they were given
I really like the community build up. It starts off with skepticism, hate and divide. But along the way, we see the fun and memorable moments together. Towards the end, we see the humanity in them making sacrifices for each other. It's such a fun and delightful ride watching this movie. I'm glad it's not the typical "Focus on Godzilla's menace and wait for military power to end this."
28:05 if yall havent seen the 1954 godzilla that was an actual scene from it with reporters on a tower filming him before he destroyed it haha
主人公の神木隆之介はアニメの「君の名は」の主人公の滝という男子の声優です。 Ryunosuke Kamiki is the voice actor for a boy named Taki, the main character in the anime “Your Name.
Have I seen this movie five times so far? Yes. Have I cried five times over this movie? Yes.
Also I don't believe Noriko was infected by Godzilla, the black marks on her are more conducive with radiation poisoning. But honestly, I'd rather she be infected by Godzilla because it I think doesn't risk her life as much after.
One of the last programs my dad worked on for the US Navy in the early 90's was the development of minesweeping ships, and they were still using wooden hulls for some of them even then. Some of them are still in service, though only for a few more years.
I felt bad for her at 40:55 - that line wrecked her. You guys should have paused for a tissue grab.
The saddest part of this movie is that Toho decided not to enter it for the Oscar in the "best foreign film" category. It would definitely have won it.
