The film is called Minus One because post World War II left Japan in ruins. They had to start all over again from ground Zero to build back up.
Then Godzilla shows up and wrecks even more havoc. Sending them from Zero to Minus One! Even further back than before. -OG
Fun fact: Godzillas spike charge up of his Atomic breathe in this movie emulate control rods in a nuclear reactor that increase nuclear fission :) great reaction ty.
Now this is a cool fact.
@@darkandskullwatch That's why you see the spikes go back in before the beam shoots out, that's basically how nuclear fission works.
The spikes going back in create the sudden surge in energy and he shoots it out, that's really masterfully done !
I never thought of that but that's a pretty bad ass idea
Don't worry, I cried numerous times in the theater during this movie, and I'm a hardened 50ish yr old.
Its wild, you can take the entire concept of Godzilla out of this movie and you'd STILL have a great period drama.
As a 12 year GWoT (Global War on Terrorism) veteran, I can testify that Shikishima's PTSD and Survivor's Guilt is super-realistic. Nightmares, tremors, and hallucinations are a very real thing for many returning Veterans. It takes YEARS of therapy and help to recover from War. I hate War. I hope I am never forced to kill again.
In Japan, some people say that the human drama is cheesy, that there are many inconsistencies, and that the acting is deliberate.
However, if I may venture to say so, it is precisely because we live in the modern age that there is a demand for simple, royalistic movies in which people unite and cooperate with each other to overcome difficulties, rather than foreshadowing, twist and turns, and clever psychological depictions.
In fact, the majority of people have received Godzilla favorably this time around, with few people complaining about it.
Ryunosuke and Minami-chan really nailed their Roles , and I also Love their chemistry 🔥 I watch all of their collaboration
I think it’s called ‘Minus One’ because of how Japan was at its lowest point and then Godzilla shows up to make things worse.
I remember seeing this in the cinema and being shocked and awe struck by how fantastic it was as a piece of dramatic writing! It’s beautiful to look at, and the acting is outstanding! It really harkens back to what Godzilla is actually about, and in my opinion is the best film since the 1954 original.
This movie is so damn good. I saw it here in the US and I’m very picky when it comes to movies, but this was just a masterpiece.
I'm not picky when it comes to films. But I agree with you. This film is a masterpiece!
The only Godzilla movie to capture the spirit of the OG from my childhood in the 60's.
You mean 50's? This one is most like the OG 54. The Godzilla from the 60's and 70's was pretty goofy and action centric.
@@G3rain1 I saw the one from the 50's in the 60's growing up with Deadly Earnest and his friday night creature feature here in Australia.
As great as the CGI was, it winning the OSCAR & people like this guy so focused in on the cgi, actually does the film a disservice imo. The fact is, the story, scrrenplay, & acting is the real reason to watch this, as alot of critics are saying the Oscar committee cheated GMO from winning multiple awards. Christopher Noland "Oppenheimer " said he loved everything about it, & Steven Spielberg told Takashi Yamazaki he loved the acting so much, he saw it 3 times already. That said, excellent reaction from 2 true Godzilla fans. Well done guys : )
I 100% belive if it wasn't a Godzilla movie and just a drama film about the actors ptsd about the war out would've been nominated for best picture
Should have been nominated not just for Visual Effects but should have been nominated and won best score best screen play best drama and movie of the year in my opinion.
I'm just here to see Godzilla dude. As amazing as everything else about it is, it is mostly secondary to me.
Also the black and white version of this is amazing and adds to it 💯
I seen it in theaters in black&white. Miss the chance to see it in color! But I prefer the version I saw. Reminds me of the 1954 film!
The plan with Godzilla to kill him with the pressure changes is sort of what was foreshadowed earlier in the movie with the deep sea fish coming up to the surface too fast. Their stomachs exploded out their mouths.
Godzilla is a force of nature, and the idea is to let the very same force of nature work against him. -OG
Fun Fact: The real Japanese cruiser Takao was decommissioned on 3 May 1947 ... right around the time Godzilla destroys it in the movie
Best Godzilla movie made .. well made , great human story and characters you care about Beginning to end .. the drama and intense action and Godzilla was a Absolute terrifying monster in this .. he have no fucks and destroyed everything on his path
Shikishima "redeemed" himself in multiple ways. But as a draftee, was he ever really at fault???
Shikishima was just a tool of his government. His guilt is palpable. Like me, he survived an insane, unending war.
Him being a kamazai. Pilot who redeems himself at the end was good drama. Especially since he didn't die.
He "redeemed" himself in multiple ways. But as a draftee, was he ever really at fault? Shikishima was just a tool of his government.
You two remind me of my brother and I when we were kids back in 1969/70 when we'd rush home to see the movies they were showing on "Godzilla Week" on the afternoon movie. We'd sit and watch with our tv trays and dinner while watching the Showa era films. This was a great reaction. You can tell you're true Godzilla fans, and yes, the first Godzilla film where I think we all cried. Thanks for a great watch.
She is more right than she realizes when she notices the thing on Noriko's neck an asks, "Is she gonna be the next Godzilla"? Apparently, that thing on her neck is a G-Cell. A piece of Godzilla's DNA!!!
And yes I cried happy tears too at the end .. movie of year 2023 .. hats off to TOHO Studios.. cinematic masterpiece on a low budget.. 🙌🍺✌️🤘
I love that you guys got emotional like I did the 10 times I saw this at the theater. 😢
Godzilla attacked the light because it was startled. Godzilla didn't attack Shikishima because he wasn't a threat. He then attacked the others because they fired on him. Proportional response in a way.
Proportional response to mutation and pain due to nuclear testing? Destroy everything.
This Godzilla is also every fond of murdering stuff as well.
It was great to finally see a kaiju during the daytime. A lot of animators use darkness to obscure the fact that their animation is shitty. Just depends. I enjoyed seeing a sunlit Godzilla.
I think it's called Minus One because at the end of the war Japan was basically at zero due to the destruction. Godzilla made it minus one.
By the way, Godzilla attacks a train in the original. In fact, that's the first issue of Fangoria. So I'm pretty sure it's a call back to the original Godzilla not King Kong.
This movie takes me back to being a kid and watching Godzilla movies every weekend! I've seen them all, and this one is the BEST! It's definitely better than the MonsterVerse films! LONG LIVE GODZILLA! ❤❤❤❤
Same! And staying up late watching the scary (ish) creature features from the 50s & 60s!
Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki the director of this film is a big fan of Godzilla, he also featured Godzilla as cameo in "Always: Sunset on Third Street" on 2005 and he is the director of "Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle" which have same design for Godzilla in this film
Godzilla Minus One (2023) is the best Godzilla film ever made. The film is a fitting, loving tribute to Godzilla’s 70th anniversary made by people with great reverence for the 1954 original. Godzilla Minus One is testament to the talent and dedication of director Takashi Yamasaki, his crew and wonderful cast. The film has great storytelling, visual effects and fine acting with characters that truly resonate with audiences. Performances by leads Ryunosuke Kamiki (Kōichi Shikishima) and Minami Hamabe (Noriko Ōishiwere) excellent. The film features the coolest and most terrifying Godzilla we have ever seen - an unstoppable force of nature that can annihilate everything in its path. Godzilla Minus One fully deserved every award it won, especially Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards.
The mark on her neck is a Godzilla cell. It's probably why she survived the blast. It helped heal her. But to what end? Will it mutate her. Are there other victims of the Godzilla cell?
I've also heard that the tattoo on her neck is a symbol for Mothra. Perhaps Mothra will be featured in the next movie?? 🤔 -OG
The original classic 1954 Godzilla movie did not have the "American" in it as you put it. Actor Raymond Burr. A.k.a. Perry Mason. The original Godzilla movie was just called Godzilla. You watched Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
It's the same story except the "American" reporter was added to the background, acting as a spectator reporting and narrating Godzilla for those of us who don't speak Japanese. Lol. -OG
Just pointing out, since everyone seems to ask "why didn't they just both jump into the alley," the atomic beam was basically a nuke that exploded a few blocks away from them. The movie slowed down the moment for cinematic purposes, but it was a split second reaction from Noriko.
The budget of this movie i actually lesser than 15mil and yet it looks amazing compared to some hollywood movies these days
This Godzilla movie takes a lot from the Heisei era movies and makes them its own. This is one of the best Godzilla movies I have seen. You guys should watch the whole Heisei era Godzilla movies that start in 1984 and end in 1995. There are the gold standard for Toho movies.
I love Shikishima's character arch: a failed kamikaze pilot returned home in disgrace, everyone dumps everything on him and he feels the extreme weight of his shame, meets Noriko and Akiko and starts taking care of them (while still dealing with the shame), and finally regains his honor and his life in the final confrontation (and shows what a fearless fighter pilot he really was!) and comes home with a real reason to live; Noriko and Akiko (who was soooo adorable, btw!)
Like Shin Godzilla, ToHo brings Godzilla back to what he originally was: an enemy of Man. a mindless creature bent on senseless destruction; a metaphor for war itself, and for Godzilla; the threat of nuclear war. I thought Shin Godzilla was the scariest incarnation of him since the original, but I'm mistaken, THIS is clearly the scariest incarnation of Godzilla! maybe half the size of Shin as well as Legendary, but the power of his ranged attack... worse than anything else ever done!
and for all the awards and nominations the film has made worldwide, it was because Godzilla strolled up, pointed to the production team, and looked menacingly at the ones who makes the decisions.
I still think Shin Godzilla is still more scarier that godzilla minus one, because Shin Godzilla AKA Kamakura-San's story is not over in my eyes
he has unseen evolutions that have yet to be explored, newfound powers that make him more deadly, how he adapts to the environment behind him
Godzilla Minus one is still scary tho
The answer to the question of why is it called Godzilla - 1 that after the war Japan was at economically and socially and military at zero and now with Godzilla having come around they have been knocked into the negatives that's where the minus one comes from
Younger people may not know this but the jet Shikishima is flying would have been one of the first jets ever made. The Germans invented the rockets and the jet airplanes near the end of World War 2. They made a secret fleet of jets for the Japanese to use to defend the mainland against the American invasion. The Japanese never got to use them because the Americans dropped the atomic bombs instead.
That explains the German writing on the plane seat. It literally said "ejection seat" haha. But it was obvious it was an ejection seat even if you didn't read German. The real important point was if the mechanic would tell Koichi about the seat.
@@epicsam2000 Yes, exactly right on both points.
ドクター中松という発明家のyoutuberが昔海軍で実際に造ってた人です。ちなみに実際の海軍はあんなに軟弱ではないと言ってました。
Thank you.Really.Thank you.
You saw the one with Raymond Burr in it the original one, but have you seen the original Japanese cut Gojira? It’s a terrific film Well, written with a great message.
A majority of the effects here are actually practical. This film beat 300 million dollar films in effects costing only 54 million. Don't forget that The Boy and the Heron also stole away Best Oscar Animated film from Disney too.
This movie is so good.
I think it's the best Godzilla ever made.
There are a lot of influences on that, the movie is not shy in its homages: King Kong obviously (fun fact, King Kong was the inspiration to Ishiro Honda, the creator of Godzilla).
Jurassic Parc, especially the scene on Odo island.
Jaws.
The 1954 original Godzilla. The radio crew reporting on Gozilla as he's nearby and him killing them is almost a scene by scene homage to the original.
Shin Godzilla.
And acording to Minus One director, the 2001 Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters all-out Attack has been the biggest influence, from how just ruthless Godzilla looks and acts, to how he dies (from using the atomic breath against him to blow him up from the inside).
But all these homages don't detract from the tight script, superb acting and engaging drama.
Godzilla minus one is one of those rare Kaiju film where you acutally give a shit about the human characters.
Just an all around great film. Not just a great Kaiju movie but a great one and destined to become an absolute classic of cinema for the generations to come.
Tied as my favorite Godzilla movie next to Godzilla vs Destoroyah, also the monsterverse ones are kinda like a lot of the showa era films from the 60’s and 70’s where it goes into more of the goofy dumb fun genre which is still awesome
There’s a lot of Clean up after the war, and yet they still didn’t find all of it. They are still finding live ordinance 80 years after the war was over and occasionally one goes off
Where did you watch this from? What streaming service?
This was the best Godzilla movie the only thing I miss is the Oxygen destroyed. The movie was definitely robbed of more nominations and awards because U.S. just hates Japanese culture
Can wait till theres a DVD set with OG 1954 movie Shin Godzilla and this one Minus One as a set of all Godzilla origins movie. I will run on run miles for it.
Dope reaction yall
you are very calm and understanding！
Bombing of Tokyo destroyed Tokyo more extensively than Godzilla did, and if you search for Bombing of Tokyo, you can see pictures of Tokyo reduced to zero.
I thought the destruction of Godzilla in the movie was nothing.
You should watch the original 1954 Gojira.
36:06 セットじゃ有りません。CGです。ua-cam.com/video/tej6GCean34/v-deo.htmlsi=OxvPRwJ-rg05q2V0
Why do you have a bunch of dental x-rays on your wall lol? Great reaction vid! Glad you enjoyed this amazing movie!
Oh those aren't dental x-rays, it's just a cloth with patterns haha.
数あるリアクション動画の中でも、あなた達の賢明なリアクションに好感が持てました。ナイス！
If you haven't seen the Japanese original 54 movie, you definitely should. There's an "Americanized," version that adds scenes and new actors and changes stuff and it's not terrible, but just feels like a generic monster movie of that era, while the Japanese movie is a sober, meaningful and dark film that's important to the history of cinema. Honestly, I love the campy Showa era ones too, and the 90s Heiesi era films might surprise you with how good some of the practical effects look. Almost all of them are better in Japanese with Godzilla 2000 being an exception as the American theatrical release is just edited better than the Japanese version for some reason.
Han visto shin godzilla?
Shogun isn't a Japanese show It's American....
American pilot flies over Japanese airbase seeing Godzilla destroy it: Yup that's a big nope from me....I'm just gonna say it was destroyed by an act of God.....
If you get the chance it's from back in the day but it's really good Godzilla vs megalon
Well this was the better of the two versions I like the American version but this one to me is always going to be classic for me I like the OG Godzilla and for the beam effect the charge up has always been a part of Godzilla and all the original Japanese ones
Awesome reaction/ can you please watch a movie called ANY GIVEN SUNDAY.
If you guys reacts to the legendary monsterverse movies here is the order to watch in
1. Kong skull island
2. Godzilla 2014
3. Legacy of monsters on apple tv
4. Godzilla king of the monsters
5. Godzilla vs kong
6. Godzilla x kong the new empire
Only japanese understand how to make their own creations great.
This is how it's done.
Right, cause the monsterverse has never been faithful to old godzilla films? Lol.
My point exactly
@@rcguitarcovers8614 mv is still better minus one was boring and acting was bad
@@rcguitarcovers8614look at 2019+2021 back that's not faithful?
@rcguitarcovers8614 the mv mimicks the show era, that of which the creator of goji has stated he regretted, don't ask for proof, look it up u lazy bitch, cause I know u will ask
I sincerely like you guys and was excited for your reaction, but I gave up about half-way through. While I understand that commentary needs to be added to avoid copyright, brother, you were just talking too much for me.
time code: 25:55 "why didn't noriko oishi, jump in the alley, with koichi shikishima, to escape the atomic blast?"
Answer: subconsciously, she didn't want to live anymore.
1. after the nuclear bombings of hiroshima & nagasaki, added with koichi's rejection of marriage, & finally facing the ultimate horror, godzilla, she had enough.
2. not everyone will react the same. some will have heart attacks, some will freeze in shock, some might commit suicide.
3. awesome reactions from the both you, by the way. good luck!
違うと思います。
あの瞬間全てがスローモーションになってたので一瞬のできごとだったんだと思います。咄嗟の判断からでた唯一の行動。
映画をちゃんと観てください。
典子さんは死んではダメだと言いました。この映画のサブタイトルは生きて抗えです。
Can you guys please watch The new Godzilla X Kong the new empire 🥺
Japanese creators usually borrow ideas as a tribute to the former creators. Godzilla's charge up reminds me of Space Battleship Yamamoto/Star Blazers (US Adaption) wave motion gun.
"the american godzilla films kinda missed the point and went on more cheesy fun" ok dude. clearly you guys havent seen much of the older godzilla films, cause if you did you would understand how faithful the monsterverse is to the old godzilla films. you think the monsterverse godzilla is already cheesy? wait till you see the older ones. lol. the reason why toho and takashi yamazaki respects the monsterverse so much is because of how failthful it is to the source material. some people saying, ohh, the americans dont know how to make a godzilla film they should just let takashi direct the next godzilla film. lol. from toho and takashi yamazaki itself, they said the monsterverse has inherited the spirit of the old godzilla films. alot of people are trying to be intellectual always compare gxk to godzilla minus one, they even bring up the 1954 films sometimes, just ot validate their point i guess. but they fail to remember everything that came out after 1954. the godzilla films has that cycle, every era starts with a serious one, then always goes back to the cheesy monster fights. godzilla's legacy was built around him fighting other monsters.
shin was trash!! just say it
The movie is good but this guy is annoying he talks more than a girl.... He talks too much that he might missed the good parts...
