- Godzilla just swirlied Disney/Marvel in the bathroom and stole their lunch money. It's their own damn fault for making it so easy for him.

#GodzillaMinusOne - Розваги
This movie was made by Toho studio, The Home of Godzilla. Unlike Hollywood, they know how to make a good kaiju movie.
Oh no wonder it was good. I'm sold. I'm seeing it. That's all anyone had to say. Godzilla and Toho. That's it.
And yeah, that's their bread and butter. They actually use creativity to make their movies. Not throwing a huge budget on a garbage script. They proved once again, how terrible Western entertainment has gotten. Japan is the best right now. Hollywood has to deal with it but getting all of these weirdo activists out of the business
The title is about Japan after war. They started from zero (like Germany), but when Godzilla appeared they went back a number. That's why it's "-1"
Bounced back
Its also kinda meta too because this movie is kinda a remaking of the OG godzilla. Using classic godzilla design, music, and having a similar plan involving bubbles. And ironically it doesn't have the suicide that the OG has when they finish off godzilla in 54
Is the suicide important?
(Spoilers) I like to view it as Godzilla lost and went from 0 to -1 too.

I am a Japanese who didn’t care about Godzilla movies so much but many were saying this one was so good. So, I went to see it and wowed, cried, deeply moved and loved everything about it. Ended up 3 times in theaters. I wasn’t sure about how people would take this movie abroad because story telling is so Japanese, none of the cast is not famous globally, language, subtitles and so on. But I am quite happy to find out my American friends enjoyed this movie so much. Yes, this is a great movie in years!
The film is so beautiful...
I want to thank your country for providing me with 90% of my entertainment over the last several years. I'd have gone crazy without it, since most of my favorite Western franchises have been poisoned or completely destroyed.
It was beautiful. There are legions of fans who've been waiting for this for many years. A film similar to the original, but more realistic, modern style graphics. I think it should win awards for best picture actor, and director. It probably won't, but should.
I'm an American who never saw a Godzilla movie before. I saw this one because of all the positive things people were saying about it online. It was a wonderful story. I have nothing but praise for the studio that made it, and I hope we get more films of its quality from Japan to see here in the US.
I cried when I walked out of the theater, the storyline is just amazing without TOO MUCH focus on the fancy CGI. I also reallllly like the dialogues in the film, it’s very genuine,
Disney and Marvel, go take some notes, even foreign studios are beating u at ur own game
That's even more impressive considering the dialogue was in Japanese with subtitles. I thought my husband would hate that aspect but he loved the fim. We will probably see it again.
So I wasn't the only one to tear up...at a Godzilla movie?
Far, far from alone.👏💯🔥🔥🔥🐲
I saw it 3 times, and to this day iam still crying ( not sad but in a good way)😂
I have heard nothing but high praise for this new film.
All the praise is deserved. I was stunned by how good this movie was.
It seems to me it's made by people who actually were FOCUSED on making a good ENTERTAINING movie. Not people who were more concerned on having $200 lunches, fancy house like trailers, 24 hr limo service. People who made this movie wanted to make a ROYAL movie and aren't so concerned with living LIKE royalty.
🥱
Well... finally one of the few movies people are happy about this year🎥
I had this Godzilla toy as a kid and my mom told me she thought the spines on his back looked like upside down Christmas tree. And I could never not see them that way.
Do a quick image search of "Japan is still trying to figure out Christmas" some time and be amazed.
Saw it twice and hell, it's a 10/10 for me.
The WORST thing about this movie will be Hollywood trying to copy it's success, but missing the point entirely.
They'll throw a ton of money at it and never realize that the success of this film were due to passionate filmmakers that respected the source material.
Well, the new godzilla kong movie judging by the trailer is campiness personified, could not be more different from minus one.
Perfect analysis.
Hollywood never tried to copy Godzilla 54' or Shin Godzilla, so I doubt they'll try to copy this. There's some hard hitting themes only the Japanese can seem to do about themselves. Any outside production usually steers clear
Even Oppenheimer pulled it's punches on the atom bomb scene
Yeah they'll miss the point and make it worse with all their woke mandates.
@@aurahoneydew9607 pink Godzilla or Super Saiyan God Godzilla xD
Finally humans are a main character in Godzilla again.
As a Marine who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the survivors guilt is one of the toughest things I have experienced.
No one forced you to go. The Iraqis and Afghanis, however didn't have a choice. Sorry if it's harsh, but maybe it'll make you reconsider next time the US is cheering for yet another senseless war.
Prayers and good wishes to you and your family! Love from the UK! Hope all's well sooner than later!
Wait… a Godzilla film where you deeply care about the humans?? Ok that settles it. I gotta see this
Yes. Thought the same. In the end it is more interesting if you actually care about the people who are about to be stomped on. And how they get out of this number.
This is basically an excellent drama that just happened to have a giant kaiju in it. Put it that way.
You’ll love it!!
@@EzeICE What the dad said to the baby girl at the dinner table : ( My wife was ready to adopt that baby. Don't need to ask her twice
@CharBar07 I know right! 😁😁😁😁 same!
I actually went back to the movies for the first time since The Last Jedi. I promised myself I'd never return but I love Godzilla movies and I had to see this because of the reviews I saw and I agree, it was a great movie. I cared about the characters!! I loved them, I was rooting for them. Very satisfying movie and I'm SO glad I gave the movie a chance. Loved it!
I’m happy for you. Yes, Last Jedi was one of the worst things ever done to a beloved franchise, but the cultural vandals responsible for it aren’t the *only* filmmakers out there.
Emotionally this movie does push all the buttons. I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan(57yo) and a student of WWII and this was simply a fantastic film. It did everything right and Iwas an emotional mess by the end.
Took my fiancé to see this movie, she had no expectations for the film - and ended up loving it! I also enjoyed the movie and can say it is the best Godzilla movie to date. Excellent film!
Took my adult daughters to see it last night. WOW, how awesome! Godzilla the monster was scary, and the human drama was done so well. And yes, tears flowed from my daughters, and even some formed in my eyes; actors made me feel what the characters were feeling.
This movie had CGI but it was very good to the point we didn't notice it more. The new Godzilla vs Kong trailer on the other hand....
Just saw this beast of a movie today and holy shit, I actually cared about the humans, legitimately shed a tear or two, I cheered on the hero and smiled in the end and when the credits rolled there was clapping, that has to be one of the highest compliments when watching a movie
Yep, first movie I've seen since Endgame where the audience applauded. I teared up too, to the point I didn't want the lights to come on!! LOL
As someone who had watched every single godzilla movie ever made both the edited American versions and the orignal Japanese versions.
This is probably one of the best if not the best Godzilla movie ever made. In the Godzilla movies the human characters are usually hit or miss.
However in this one you really care about the human characters. This Godzilla movie has more heart and soul in it, than the last 3 American ones combined.
Honestly I was surprised by how critical the movie was of WWII 2 Japan, especially the military.
I've actually got my dad curious about seeing the movie just because of the human element. He's never watched a Godzilla movie in his life.
The Japanese during WWII viewed their leader as a literal GOD. Capital G. Their defeat absolutely crushed them spiritually for decades. Japan became cynical of all religions. They adopted extreme corporate culture as a religion and had a huge economic boom!.. until they didn't. That's two Gods that promised prosperity for all... and abandoned/decieved them... leaving them faithless and jaded.
Modern Japanese respect the citizens and soldiers who died of course, but they do not believe the emperor was a God anymore, as such, it wasn't a Holy War. They aren't wrapped in ultra patriotism about WWII or their country's role in it.
They truly view their history trough an unbiased lens!❤
What did your father think of the movie?
@@DocMicrowave he hasn't seen it yet.
@@thepayne7862 Oh, ok. Was just curious.
This is honestly jarring to see him be happy about a good movie
🤣🤣🤣
We have seen him suffer so much!
Right? I guess I don't get to talk about good stuff very often lol.
The writing is much better too, For example when the caption of the small boat says hit him with the 13 caliber machine gun and the gunner does so and turns around to the captain and says “completely ineffective” and when the little girl says “daddy” and he says I’m not your daddy and his friends say, don’t say that, it’s hurtful. More like old school yet modern dialogue.
Sounds like cars and movies are better out of Japan.
It would be interesting if this movie was nominated for an Academy Award. Because it will be a showdown between the father and son of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer is the father of the atomic bomb. Godzilla is the destined child born of the atomic bomb. But the damn Academy would never rate a Godzilla movie. I am sure.
Well, they nominated a comicbook movie. It's not that much of a stretch. If G-1 showed up in the Best Foreign Film category, I don't think anyone would object.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 Thanks for your reply. Anyway, I am not talking about best foreign picture, but best picture.
The concept is that Japan, which had already been devastated by the war, faces a new threat with Godzilla, bringing the country into the ‘minus.’
I can't tell you the last time I walked out of a movie and hours later I'm still blown away and reading up on it. Honestly I can't remember. The side story was just so damn good and the characters??? Wow!! Frankly if this doesn't get an Oscar nod it will be a shame. I never in my life would have thought I enjoy the humans more than Godzilla in a movie...and this is probably the best version ever put on film. Shin and Biollante were my 2 favorites but this one surpassed them in spades.
Godzilla minus one is not a Godzilla movie, it's THE Godzilla movie!
"Minus One" has a dual meaning. First, it's set earlier than any previous Godzilla film, even before the first. Second, as stated in the trailers, Japan is at its lowest point postwar - meaning zero - and Godzilla makes things worse.
interesting
This shows Japanese studios care about their bases unlike Hollywood studios. That's a huge factor in what's going on.
I heard both $15 and $35 million for the budget, don't know which is correct. In any case, this entire film was made for either $10 million less, or $10 million more than a single episode of "She-Hulk."
It was produced with a budget of only $15 million.
It's take at the box office worldwide, is $34 million. (So far.)
It all comes down to the art of story telling. I am interested in what was on the lady's neck, and just how she even survived the blast in the first place. I don't think she's entirely human anymore, but mixed with radiation and possibly Godzilla DNA. At the end of Shin those Godzilla humanoids were growing out of Godzilla. So imagine that. Godzilla zombie creatures in the thousands?? Hell yeah.
If you leave a movie with your own visions, or theories for what could be next then it's a true classic. I watched the trailer to GodzillaXKong "The New Empire", and my very first thought was along the lines of, "This looks silly". But I will go see it anyway.
i wonder if the 15 million is based off their original funding? and the 35 million was the final operating cost of toho during its creation?
toho is run a bit different then the hollywood shit stains. i dont really care which is real though. just knowing they made such a good film for less than 50 mil, even in todays inflation? damn efficient, and its proof that a focused team can stay make quality content without needing a quarter of a billion
@@gen-zeke-8571 when they showed her with a hidden eye and a cast, but her body was relatively intact... it made me question,. the film thus far had been somewhat serious, but her surviving coould be taken different ways. they showed the scientists in ginza proving that just the wreckage was radioactive. with her weird scar on the neck? is she a survivor because she has been radiated and mutated into something else? or are we just supposed to assume that good character lived cause?
Just saw the movie today and I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't think I would see another godzilla movie as enjoyable as shin godzilla
Fun fact: the director of Godzilla Minus One was not only a fan of Godzilla but directed a film in 2007 Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 where he briefly cameo Godzilla destroying Japan in the same manner he did here.
Pretty ironic for the same director who cameo Godzilla in his first few films comes back to direct an actual Godzilla film, isnt it?
A director respecting and paying homage to the source material? That's crazy talk in modern Hollywood and Disney.
I love the twist where he writes letters to that other guy blaming him for what happened to their unit just to piss him off and guarantee he’ll show up
I really wanted to see more of the human characters but I was devastated that Godzilla had to show up. lol
As a lifelong Godzilla fan and having seen the film myself I can tell you that it reminds you of why Godzilla is a pop culture icon as well as a cinema legend that has entertained the masses for nearly 70 years and as for me this film reminds me personally of why Godzilla is my number 4 out my list of all time favorite characters(behind Batman, Green/White Ranger and Luke Skywalker).
Also after WW2(the era that the film is set in) is when Japan was at its lowest point especially after when the US dropped the A-Bomb twice(basically zero) and after Godzilla came that is when Japan went down even lower to -1.
@@Chino56751 The thing is that we did gave them a chance to surrender and Japan refused twice and that is why we dropped the bombs on them.
The US didn't want to do it and we ended up making the hardest choice in human history and in the end it ended the war that had already taken so many lives and I make no excuses for that. But in the end it was better than the alternative for bloodshed would've happened regardless.
That is why WW2 needs to be remembered and to know that the WW3 will be even worse.
@@JustTooDamnHonest Bit dramatic there. The Spanish Flu killed a whole lot, but it didn't change anything. WW2 was about stopping the forces of Imperialism and Fascism from ruling the world. As for " hardest decision ", that's also pretty doubtful. Most controversial, maybe.
What's " worse " here is if we don't stockpile ammo.
wrong. In order to meet their demands, the United States restricted resource exports to Japan and tried to take Japan back to the Edo period. Japan had to fight to protect its way of life. In addition to the atomic bomb, Japan suffered another massacre, the Great Tokyo Air Raid. That's why Tokyo is a burnt-out area at the beginning of the story. If America didn't want to drop the atomic bomb, why did they drop it? That too, twice. Never justify genocide.
@@user-po4lz4tu3u Riiiight....
1.Japan was forcefully expanding and taking territory all around, especially on mainland China. They provoked and agitated their neighbors- full scale conflict was where it was always headed. As for " genocide ", come off it. That's what the Turks did to Armenia
@@user-po4lz4tu3u They dropped it to end the war and do not make any excuses for their actions and I'm not wrong for the emperor refused the give up and most of his forces continued to fight as well and that is why we dropped the second bomb for it showed them what they unleashed when Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor.
Also do not leave out atrocities that Japan has committed as well just to make yourself feel better. Unit 731 performed the most inhumane experiments that killed estimated around 300K and the leader of that unit was spared as well as awarded for those crimes against humanity.
My interpretation is Japan was at zero following the war, however Godzilla happened leaving Japan at negative 1. That is how I read the title.
Easily one of the best Godzilla films, it instantly got put in my top 10. 1:Gojira 2:Minus One 3:Shin Godzilla 4:Godzilla vs Biollante 5:Godzilla vs Destroyah 6:Godzilla vs Mothra 7:Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster 8:GMK 9:Destroy All Monster 10:Return of Godzilla (1984)
Totally agree with your list
I just saw this, and I encourage everyone to go see this. THIS is a Godzilla movie.
The human parts are really good. You don't get a lot of Godzilla, but when you do it's great.
I have seen every Godzilla movie “ multiple, multiple times “ and no I am not a professional movie critic. I am a lifelong fan. And in my opinion this movie is one of the best in this or any franchise. It is well paced, well written, well filmed and well executed. I wanted to immediately go back in and watch it again.
I did not due to time and travel . But when it is released either on streaming or dvd/ blu ray. I will make time over and over again to take in every aspect of this amazing movie.
Easily the best movie I've seen all year
I watch minus one yesterday and I had a lot of fun during the movie.
Amazing what is possible when you start out with a good script and actual passion in your film making.....
Absolutely going to see it after seeing this.
I don’t get out to movies much, but I got to this one. Such an amazing film.
This movie deserves the best picture Oscar. That is no BS either. Just like with most other people I was moved to tears for more than one scene. When Noriko pushes him into the alley then gets caught in the gust. I swear my heart almost stopped it was so unexpected. There was another sense where I had to force myself to breathe cause I was holding my breath. The tension they created was so very palpable. Hollywood seriously needs to take note even though they won't. This is how you make a movie!
Loved it. How refreshing to see REAL people with flaws pull together to solve a national menace. No woke message. Real men, real women, real friendships, and real love and caring. Now I remember when movies were moral and good at heart.
Great comment.
Agree. For rhe first time in my life I was afraid of Godzilla. I said ro myself rhis Godzilla has to die. He was that horrific.
Never been a fan of Godzilla but this has me interested
I'll say this though: this movie may end up with multiple Oscar nominations. It will likely get a nomination for Best Picture and Ryunosuke Kamiki may get a Best Actor nomination, too.
They made the *humans* in a *Godzilla* movie arguibly the best part. If that's not a compliment to the writting then I don't know what is.
It’s absolutely insane this was a $15 million budget.
Where the heck is our budgets going?
Bureaucracy
money laundering.
@@KardboardKennythat's my theory as well
Japan always made these movies on this budget. They always been better than us when it came to going under budget. They actually use something called creativity to tell their stories. When you have that, you don't have to spend a huge amount of money to make a film. Hollywood keep doing that. Throw all this money into poorly written films. The script is the lifeblood of the film, not the budget
@@TheDumontShow Move to Japan then
I recall hearing that when filming the movie "Jaws", the mechanical shark they were using kept malfunctioning. It apparently made Spielberg really angry, and they were forced to film the scenes with a very "minimalist" approach with what they could actually show of the shark. Ironically, this was the best thing that could have happened. People could pay more attention to the story and characters, and the use of music and brief glimpses allowed for tension to build to tremendous levels. A lesson so totally lost in US entertainment in general.
I saw this Saturday night in 4-D (with moving seats). It was great!
For ye old algorithm 👊
Indeed...sometimes, less is more. After loving them initially, I got sooo burned out on MCU movies. And I agree with you, the 2014 Godzilla was the best Monsterverse film. This Godzilla was great!
Nice too see a small budget film actually know what it's doing and isn't made simply for a write off or money laundering but too , you know, actually entertain
I think it is a remake of the first Godzilla movie, which warns people about the atomic disaster. Awesome classic!
Thorias loved a movie!!!!! Oh snap. Wow. I don't blame him. This is Godzilla. Especially if Toho did the movie or had a part in its creation, you know it's bonkers. So glad to see him so glad to watch a good movie for a change
It's weird that people are surprised when I like something. I have a whole playlist devoted to stuff like that lol.
@@thoriasunlimited4053 I'm a newer sub. But it rings true. I was super happy you love this movie. For real. Because of you, I'm going to see it. You have great taste in film. Low tolerance for crap. That's what I like about a reviewer.
We saw it last weekend. Great movie. Best I've seen this year.
You are right in stating that Disney and Marvel should take notes... on how to become less greedy!
I'm looking forward to seeing this movie...that's something I rarely say anymore.
Sounds great. It sounds like it has a lot of the qualities that made the 1st Jurassic Park so enjoyable. I really like the look they gave the monster, reminiscent of the original 1954 Godzilla. Some of the previous CGI Godzillas have really looked awful, like he had the herbivorous head of a Stegosaurus.This Godzilla looks mean and none of this friend-of-mankind BS.
The minus one meaning is how Godzilla puts Japan in a much worst situation after the bombing they were at an all time low and Godzilla ruthless destruction puts their struggles from 0 to minus one something like that the director went over the meaning of the movie in a interview
Yes, dragged hubby to go see it last night. We loved it. Go see this movie
This movie was good.
Its nice to know that I wasn't the only one who shed a tear. 😊
Definitely my movie of the year
Gotta agree with you what is with the minus 1 GREAT MOVIE THOUGH!!
Saw that this had dropped but waited to watch it since I was going to see it. Just got out and loved the movie, excited to see Thorias' opinion
I think the Minus One is kinda like a countdown. Ya know, like T minus one, G minus one. Because this is supposed to be the start of a Toho rehash of their Monsterverse. Like they had back in the '50s & '60s. With Rodan, Mothra, Gorosaurus, Varan. All these monsters had their own movies & crossed over into Godzilla movies. And look at the movie logo. It plainly says G Minus One. We get this movie to set the stage...and then: Blast Off!!! Into Toho's revamped Monsterverse!
It's a great movie overall!!!! Especially the story!!!
I totally agree with every single word you said. I was so emotional and almost cried.
Great vfx and storytelling. It is a humanistic film that could move audiences enough without Godzilla.
This is satisfying enough, though,
I would definitely like to see the next film to make full use of the latest vfx and have Godzilla rampaging through the entire film.
I keep telling people how awesome this movie is… there were several time in the movie here I was gobsmacked and in awe… there was also times I literally told myself “ wow, I didn’t see tat coming “. While I’d love to see a sequel to this move, sequels all too often disappoint me…. Truly hope if there is a sequel, it is as good as this one but doesn’t copy this move due to lack of creativity…
Minus One not only takes elements of some of the best Godzilla films (54, 84, 2000, GMK, Shin) but even resurrects overlooked, promising aspects brought up in other films in the franchise (Godzilla Raids Again, Vs King Ghidorah, and yes design cues from the MonsterVerse) and not only improves on them but even SHOWS us things that were only ever implied or just explained through exposition in the past, like Godzilla’s painful origin. The film even completely punts the recent Jurassic Park movies at one point and it took me by surprise how well done it all was. The human characters are shockingly good too, probably the best ones we’ve had in a very long time, and setting it in the 40s post-WW2 worked to their benefit, and I liked how it brought attention to a lot of the guys that were chewed up and spat out by the Japanese war machine (and the allegory works very well due to being nuanced and the movie does not feel like a petulant lecture either). Koichi especially is a huge improvement from Haruo, helped chiefly by the fact he actually has great character development, and he doesn’t end up a sniveling coward like Haruo ended up being in the Monster Planet trilogy (that trilogy had so many awesome concepts but was completely wasted by Toho’s micromanaging). Minus One is also the complete opposite in presentation compared to the awful Singular Point anime too, where you could completely rip Godzilla and the other Kaiju out entirely and you’d still be left with a pretentious show with dull as dishwater characters spouting nonsense, whereas in this film the characters hold it up so well it works. Really the only flaw I had with it was I wish the Tokyo attack lasted a little longer, but still I’m happy with what I got. I hope Yamazaki gets his wish and we get a second film from him, preferably a sequel what with all the threads he intentionally left hanging over us, because Minus One deserves it, and I’m tired of Toho doing just one-offs like they have done these past 20 years. And that $15 million budget and still sounds and looks this good? Hollywood, you need new management.
Also the “Minus One” subtitle is an allusion to Japan being reset to zero as a civilization by the end of WW2, only for Godzilla to set them into the negatives. It’s admittedly a weird sounding title but I get it. Me personally I also think it works as a double meaning on account that it’s the first film to go back to the middle of the 20th century like the original 1954 Gojira, except of course taking place much earlier at a point where the Japanese had little to nothing to work with.
Jesus, go write a review on rotten tomatoes... no one cares about your opinion. It's a TL;DR 🙄
This comment deserves a pin. Excellent information. Thank you.
WELLL SAID!!!
What is a zero civilization?
For example, a Type 0 civilization, not defined by Kardashev, would control about 1 MW of power (equivalent to having around 100 campfires burning at any given time); on Earth, the emergence of Type 0 civilizations is roughly concurrent with the rise of civilization in a general sense
Type I civilization is referred to as a “planetary civilization”. Characterized as having a power consumption of 10 16 W (Watts) [1,2], a civilization of Type I has harnessed for its use all major forms of energy available from its home planet (for example human civilization and the Earth).
If the movies budget is correct every episode of She Hulk: Attorney at Law cost 10 million more per episode.
Your goal post moving is something I can get behind.
The reviews are great to hear, I am so looking forward to seeing this Godzilla movie.Have been a big fan my whole life since I was a kid rooting for my hero,sometimes he was bad pain in the butt ,still loved his energy entertainment and never be beaten forse and attitude!
Very happy you enjoyed it. Plan to see it this week.
I’m glad a movie like this comes out and is actually good and has depth I can compare this to Peter Jacksons King Kong many years ago I hope people’s eyes are open when this new kong and Godzilla comes out between cinema and a CGI meta quest… so Hollywood can get their shit together
who remembers the Godzilla cartoon from the 80s? lol I'm old😂
good video thanks
'78.
Disney and Marvel are too busy putting 'The Message' out there to notice anything else! Oh, Godzilla 1985 is still a fantastic film.
My Japanese wife and I never watched a Kaiju movie in a theater until this one, and we loved it for all the reasons that Hollywood is not.
Loved the passion in the review. Assuming it's from the passion put into this movie. This is one i'll be checking out.
It got the original movies entire point: Godzilla is both the fallout consequence and the nuke itself.
The character writing was decent & the heart of the 54' film too
Beautiful, good to hear its character driven, good to see ya excited for something as well.
will watch it
I haven't seen a film at the cinema since Avengers Endgame in 2019 but I'm thinking I might go and see this one, can't be worse than anything Marvel or Disney is making at the moment that's for sure. Thanks Thorias and congratulations again on hitting the 50K subs, I hope it's the beginning of something great.
how did you feel about the movie?
@@rave-eazy I'm going to go see it on Friday, fingers crossed. I may even do a review of it for my channel, though it won't be as 'polished' as Thorias, gotta start somewhere though.
@@a.nonymouse i will tell you now, this is the first movie i've watched since viewing oppenheimer during the summer but it's a very good movie. im a godzilla fan through and through but the connection with the characters was stronger than the characters for oppenheimer. for me at least. i might have to go watch it again honestly
@@rave-eazy If it is a great movie I will definitely be supporting it this week, hopefully more people do. It will send a message to Hollywood, whether or not they listen is up to them.
TOHO Studio Executives came to one of their more prolific directors and gave him a butt load of Yen (from 1953 or 54 economics) and told him to make them a movie by a certain due date. He gladly took their money and asked them what kind of movie did they want. They replied that they didn't care and left. Before he could become so dispaired that he could commit Hari Kiri he got a flash of inspiration. And the only fictional character that is an official Japanese citizen... Godzilla was born.
Yes this is best one ever!
I have watched so many reviews of this movie and this is the one that most accurately describes my feelings about this movie.
Loved this movie. Not only is it well written, not only is it oozing with heart and emotion, not only does it have a strong independant woman save a man's life without it being pretentious, overt and downright hilarious; it is also mercifully releieved of excess characters having nothing to do other than be gay, female, diverse, or of colour.
Add tpo that absolutely... I'll say it, stunningly realistic visuals that make you feel you're watching an actual MOVIE instead of a pixar cartoon... yeah. yeah.
I literally only saw it because of somebody recounting how it dominated box office. I was like, damn another godzilla film? I feel dumb now because it’s so, so very good...
Damn your eyes Sir! I am now hyped for this film, not out here till the 15th.
日本の「ゴジラ-1.0」ファンです。海外の人達にわかってくれるだろうか？と思いましたが大方Thorias Unlimitedさんのレビューにとても同意できました。 とても嬉しく思います。
私も泣きました。敷島が最後に「震電（終戦直前に開発された試作戦闘機）」で突っ込んだ時、これがもし、命を落とした神風特攻だったら、物語的にかなり失望したところです。 しかしこの作品は、助けるべき命をきちんと助けました。
「この国は命を粗末にしすぎました」という台詞も胸に響きました。 ここに本作のテーマが込められてると思います。 この作品だけでなく「ゴジラ」そのもののテーマでもあると思います。
ただしラストはハッピーエンドにみえてそうではない点も...彼女の首筋の、黒ずんだ墨のような血に恐怖の余韻が残ります。 私的には、この余韻のまま、続編などはなくてよいと思います。
「-1.0」はいくつかの意味がありますね。
戦争で何もかも失い「０」となった日本がさらにゴジラ襲来によって「-1.0」段階、絶望を下げられたのと、ゴジラ誕生（1954)から今年で69年＝70周年までの「--1年」も。
制作費の問題については海外の方のレビュー動画で知りました。映画にお金をかけられない土壌にありますね。
I'm Japanese "Godzilla-1.0" fan.
Will people overseas understand? For the most part, I completely agree with Thorias Unlimited's review. Thank you so much.
I cried too. When Shikishima attacked with the ''Shinden（Prototype fighter aircraft near the end of the war）'' at the end, if it had been a true kamikaze attack where he lost his life, I would have been quite disappointed in the story. However, this work did indeed save the lives it was meant to save.
''This country has treated life too poorly'' also resonated with me. I think the theme of this work is contained here. I think this is a theme not only for this work but also for "Godzilla" itself.
However, although the ending seems to be a happy ending, it is not...The dark, ink-like blood on her neck leaves an aftertaste of fear. Personally, I think there is no need for a sequel or anything like this.
"-1.0" has several meanings.
Japan, which lost everything in the war and became '0'', was further lowered to ``-1.0'' level of despair by the invasion of Godzilla, and this year marks 69 years since the birth of Godzilla (1954), which is ''-1 year'' until the 70th anniversary. "too.
I learned about the issue of production costs from a review video by someone overseas. We live in a place where people can't afford to spend money on movies.
Maybe I don’t get the minus one in the title, but I don’t really even care. All I know is it blew me away
Hello Thorias. I really enjoy your videos. I loved the blue fire breath at the end! Didn't know I could still do that! That was so funny! Thank you 💙
Japan hasn't been taken over by the fem in ists yet. That is why it can still produce good films. Most people avoid this simple fact
Just watched it earlier, it's worth going even if you're haven't watched much Godzilla at all.
Easily, the best Godzilla
I bet someone in Hollywood is planning on remaking this almost frame for frame. Fortunately I doubt Toho would sign off on it.
15 million
Just goes to show how much the cast cost in the American versions.
I was amazed by this movie. To me its a 9-9.5/10. There was one thing I didnt like and another that I hated until later. I was blown away and am still in awe. Spoiler take below:
I think the Minus One is that Godzilla lost this one.
Godzilla dies in the first one. So no Minus One is not about that. See @wiktowinek5484 post below for the actual one :)
Zero hour was the atom bomb. Minus One is Godzilla's arrival.
The Minus One is from the T Minus Countdown System used in Nuclear Testing.
Sequel is gonna be Godzilla +1
@@thegreatpoo2electricboogal318 -That makes No Sense. The T Minus Countdown would simply not have a + to it.
