I can’t agree enough. This movie left me floored. I was into the story and the characters from the jump. Driving home I said aloud to myself “that was AWESOME.” And the fact that the budget was only 15 million?! Best THEATRICAL experience in my adult life.
I didn't see as many movies in the theater as I'd have liked to this year, but I saw:
1. Smile
2. The Whale
3. Past Lives
4. 65
5. Sound of Freedom
6. No Hard Feelings
7. Oppenheimer
8. Dead Reckoning pt. I
9. The Holdovers
10. Killers of the Flower Moon
11. Godzilla Minus One
and Godzilla is the best I've seen all year. Idk about my adult life, but nothing else is coming to mind.
@Luxington1 number 11 cannot rethink #1 movie 100/10
I may or may not ride the high seas, and I didn't for this. That dun, dun of the classic soundtrack was worth a million tickets and word of mouth praise. I cried each time the little girl hit a banger delivery. "Mommy," and, "Daddy," had me tearing up.
@@ohn9431bro, I agree, some people say that the girl is annoying, but no, when she cried I wanted to cry, and when the classic soundtrack kicked in at the end, I cried from emotion
@@xxAAAAAAAAxx she's probably the best child actor I've ever seen 🤣
I took my dad out to see this the other day. Usually we see a movie and after he will be like, yeah that was okay. With Godzilla Minus One he actually clapped at the end, turned to me and said, "Wow, that was awesome!" This movie resonates and hits hard.
Same thing happened at the theater where I saw it. The audience clapped; and so did I. And I never do that.
Comment of the year. My dad used to take me to theaters to have me see Godzilla. This time I took my two little boys.
@@OtakuNerd94 that's great man. When I was a kid my dad had a collection of VHS tapes that had a lot of the classic Godzilla movies recorded on them. That's why I had to take him to see this and the movie triggered something special for the both of us. I think a lot of people are having the same experience with this and that's fantastic to see.
I fought tears, but I never felt so happy to where I would be having a big smile while watching a movie. I never felt that in years. No movie did that to me in forever. I was moved, and, in a way, I felt healed by this movie. I'm serious when I say this, but at this point, it's my #1 movie of all time.
It’s like this movie has filled a giant black hole that western media has recently created. We used to be so good at story telling, but recently we’re just void of anything that will challenge our imagination. I’m hoping studios around the world take notes from this movie. Go go Godzilla!
This movie was fucking nuts, love reading shit like this. Art matters
This movie has been living rent free in my head since I i saw it last week. The more i think about it the more I love it. The acting, the score, the effects, Godzilla, the ending, all of it was simply amazing.
That atomic breath scene in the city had me in awe
Amen
Godzilla Minus One is a groundbreaking, emotional journey. It's not only a fantastic Godzilla movie; it's a marvelous motion picture overall. The ensemble cast is unforgettable. They're flawed, relatable, endearing, and worthy of our respect and love. Koichi and Noriko are, simply put, incredible characters. What these two achieved within a 2-hour film is inspiring. Godzilla has never been scarier. Unlike every other King of the Monster variant, -1.0 Godzilla is a ruthless killer. I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan, and I have always been fearless of the Big G until now. Director Takashi Yamazaki, Music Composer Naoki Sato, the entire cast and crew, along with so many incredibly talented VFX artists, deserve nothing but praise for delivering what might be the most excellent Godzilla film ever made. Godzilla Minus One is more than just a giant monster movie; it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you have to see for yourself in theaters.
i love you for this.
Thanks for all you do, @@Geekdom101!
you just got me super hyped, Too bad I will have to wait till the 28th of December :(
The best thing is it was able to deliver all of these to all kind of audiences. I'm still very young, 24, never been to the military. Don't have a kid yet. But I feel a great connection with all the characters in this movie.
You're a Human Being little brother. That's all that's needed.
I went with my 82 year old buddy to watch this movie… the man thought it was silly to watch a giant T-Rex… the dude was crying like a baby throughout the movie, especially at the end
This movie was a great movie and it just entered my Top 10 of all time…
This is without a doubt the best movie of the year.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I was blown away. This movie has left me the most emotionally drained I have ever been from a movie.
You aren’t alone . I had to stop myself from leaking tear a few times with those small uncomfortable moments with the child crying or some of the awe inspiring moment . Godzilla was pissed and the allegorical connection to war and the horrors of it were spot on
As someone who grew up loving Godzilla, I was absolutely SHOCKED at how good Minus One was. I was expecting much more camp and schlock and saw almost none of it. A serious filmmaker decided to make a serious film out of my favorite kaiju and it left me stunned.
This movie just left me speechless. I need to see it again
I'm not going to lie. I was extremely irritated when this movie was announced. The fact that they were not going to do a sequel to Shin Godzilla just didn't sit right with me. But after seeing this movie, I must say, its a modern day masterpiece. It deserves all the praise it gets! This film is a must see!
I hear you but I've come to realize that Shin is perfect as is and sequel might ruin it.
G-1 is surprisingly better but in a different way so they both are great in their own right.
@@crcurran Shin Godzilla is the superior film, by far.
i can KINDA relate!
agreed!@@crcurran
@@Geekdom101そ
Original 1954 had a sense of dread that no other captured until Minus One. This resets the bar on movies for the modern era.
yes.
I did t care. I’m a lifelong diehard Godzilla fan who is secure in himself. I saw the movie 3 times and 3 times I was crying like a baby. A lot of personal issues were touched on. Plus, the fact that everyone in the world is showing love to Godzilla overwhelms me
A.I.? Comment?
Couldn't agree with you more. An amazing film that surpassed anything I ever thought I'd get from a Godzilla movie. Can't think of a time I've ever had tears in my eyes watching a movie like this.
My thoughts exactly. A Godzilla film receiving this degree of attention and praise, especially from outside the fandom, has been a long time coming for us fans. The film and franchise as a whole were left in good hands with this film, and to receive it not only at the end of a year as chaotic as 2023, but right before the 70th anniversary of the series, is honestly cathartic.
I went with my family who are not really into Godzilla as much as me and on the drive home they couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. The more I consider it the more I believe I will pass on Godzilla X Kong “in theaters” because I don’t want to taint how wonderful this movie was and my theater experiences. I really only go to theaters for these G-1 experiences and not just any random flick. Minus One hooked me from the moment I saw the first batch of trailers and it didn’t disappoint.
I feel the same. Godzilla X Kong is gonna be Trash.
This movie is perfect man, absolutely perfect.
I need to see it again in a movie theater and that’s something I don’t think I’ll ever say for another movie again. Watching this movie was like experiencing almost every emotion in its most intense form all at once. Even with my siblings being well, siblings during the movie it was still the best experience I’ve ever had.
Edit: -ever had BY FAR
yeah same
I've had a week to digest it, and listen to everyone's opinion, and it's an amazing phenomenon that this "little Japanese movie" has resonated so far and wide with audiences. I also saw it in IMAX, and it's just an experience that can't be beat. The sound (and feeling) of his roar in surround sound is what I've wanted since I was 5 years old. The theater shook like you were standing there in front of this massive monster. I'm going to see it in 4DX this weekend, and I hope it's as good.
I saw it in 4DX on Dec 1. If you are used to 4DX your experience might be better. For me it was my first time and most of the 4DX was distracting. There were a few scenes were it added but most was distracting. To be vague, the scene in the trailer in which she is in the train car that G-1 is chomping on that definitely felt like I was in that train car with her, airplane near the end felt more real, the boat rolling the sea. There is a button to turn off the water spray so I would turn that on only if I suspected something worthwhile was coming like the aircraft near the end.
For me, I dont think I will do 4DX again since the Director/Producers didn't program it so its only trying to add something the creators didn't intend.
I saw it in RPX, it was intense af, I felt his presence strongly, I felt every roar, footstep and explosion, it was a hell of an experience, Godzilla was just terrifying and absolutely menacing, especially during the beginning in Odo island, I got a bit of a jumpscare when he showed up roaring, that motherfucker was LOUD as fuck! I got goosebumps, the scenes with Godzilla had me astonished, especially that atomic breath scene, felt like watching an actual atom bomb going off, it was just fucking insane, never have I seen Godzilla this menacing with literal nuclear breath since GMK. I left the theater in awe.
I’m in south Fl and we have a museum with a huge iMax theatre and I really wish they were showing this movie over there. I bet ever showing would be almost sold out. They dropped the ball on this one.
I want see it Dolby
@@mentaltelepathy24I want to see it on Laserdisc 💿
Everything you said in this video is 100% true. And it isn't the herbal enhancer friend, it's just it allowed you to focus and you got it all full force. This film is easily one of the best films I've ever seen in my entire life. Even remembering certain points of the film a WEEK LATER and I'm still emotional. It really hits an emotional chord that links all people. Not enough praise from me can do it justice.
It really is the best movie I've seen in 10 to 20 years.... It's an instant classic
The characters were so good. Especially Koichi. He had me floored with his terror, sorrow, and anguish emoticons. The supporting cast and Noriko.. she was amazing. I just wanted to see more of the family. Hoping for a sequel. 10/10 for me.
Noriko was a ray of hope for Koichi
Director said he’s open to make another if the studio lets him. After the box office, Tohos going to beg him to make a sequel.
Godzilla Minus One is medicinal...
I LOVE how film fans around the world are purging their love & excitement over this film cause we have been starved of real, cinematic, entertainment for a looong time in theaters. This movie deserves all the craze cause it is the antithesis of what Hollywood is putting out, it's charming, it's fun, it's hopeful, it has characters that feel like real people & Godzilla is DA BOMB!
ONE! ✌💀❤
This movie is worth seeing more than once! I'm gonna try and convince Grandma to watch my brothers kids so they have the chance to see this movie. It's hands down the best movie I've seen all year!!!
My theater was empty when I saw it except for me and my friend. Crying and holding back tears. I’m Happy to hear I was not the only one. I was so invested in the family, especially the child who resembles my daughter. Every character was memorable, every scene moved the story forward and was acted and directed with aplomb. So a Japanese movie, with subtitles, and a Japanese monster floored me with emotional overload? Yes it did and I have been thinking about it and commenting on reviews like this one for three days. What a gem and I will likely see it again tomorrow.
I can relate a lot to the main character, especially when he start shaking and getting those trimmers when he is about to do something important. I use to be like that.
Great movie, very emotional and you actually care about the survival of the characters. it's a shame not too many people will watch it.
I am with you dude. I've seen it twice and plan on a couple more times. I'm a sucker for a "disgraced soldier gets a chance at redemption" story.
This movie was insanely good. It will be studied like Pulp Fiction. It’s an utter masterclass is story craft and film making.
I also cannot stop thinking about this movie. I'm going to go see it again! Probably my favorite movie I've ever seen in theater!!
I feel you man !!
Who never thought a Godzilla movie would gives us such deep emotion lasting like this one. I select the BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR for me))
You know a movie is good if you can’t stop talking about it. I have been trying to get all of my friends to see it because it’s a lightning in a bottle movie. Most movies are good and sometimes they are forgettable. This movie is fantastic. I’m not even a Godzilla fan and seeing this made me a Godzilla fan. For 15 million dollars for a budget, to have stellar writing and acting and special effects that hold up, it’s unheard of nowadays. It really shows how corrupt Hollywood has gotten, where they forgot to make good stories with good messages. Now it’s forced agendas which ironically defeat its own purpose because it makes everyone upset.
Just got home from seeing it… I’m speechless. Wow… just wow.
Same to me here. The line "My war isn't over yet" really stuck in me.
I was crying too man. The next day I was talking to my friend about a scene and I got choked up. I wanna watch it again.
Just saw it in IMAX....WOW! This is the best Godzilla movie I've seen. I can even put in words how this movie made me feel. It's just a masterpiece...
I watched it twice, same day cause it was that good. The only good movie being played at the theaters right now. Going to watch it again next week!
I’m not going to lie, I wept when Noriko was alive and Shikishima started to tear up. I too was a mess, so you’re not alone on this one bro. It’s definitely making me want to rewatch it once more.
Dude it choked me up, I was prepared to cry and Im actually happy I did the fact that I did made me so fucking happy, I love everything about this franchise.
First time I cried at a movie. Congrats godzilla minus one you made my cry at a movie, that’s a true mark of quality
The scores in this movie made my hair on the neck stand. My eyes were filled with water and i understood that i was entertained to the full satisfaction. I watched it yesterday in IMAX sydney.
Dont feel ashamed watching this movie 6x in different imax theaters ITS JUST THAT GOOD!
Thank you Godzilla, for saving the big screen time and again over the last like 70 years.
I saw Godzilla Minus One in 4DX. It was a wild ride. The seats shake move around in coordination with the action on screen. When Godzilla roars... you get hit by a burst of wind in the theater. I got sprayed with water a couple of times during certain scenes. Note: there is a button to turn off the water on the seat arm rest for those who don't want to get sprayed. I want to get sprayed with water. 4DX is how I watch action movies nowadays because we cannot replicate the experience at home.
I don't think this was just sensory overload for you. I left this movie crying. Like....straight 'Bawling' dude. That's never happened to me before. That was a masterpiece.
This movie was insane America doesn’t deserve to make movies on Godzilla this was a masterpiece
I live in the UK, where it doesn't release until 15 December!! I must admit, when I first heard about the existence of this movie, I was confused and not that excited about it. Which franchise, if any, does it link to? It's in Japanese!! Someone else's take? But after hearing people's reviews, I simply can't wait to see it!!😮😮... My God!! Is it really that good?? Some comments I've seen... The best Godzilla movie!! Blockbuster of the year!! Hollywood should take notes!!! Etc, etc .... Got it booked for the 16th!! I'm really pumped for this one!!👊👊... And thanks for a great review!!👍🙂
Enjoy it. It’s an unforgettable experience. Even my wife left in awe.
@@RangerMcFriendly Thanks mate!!👍👊
You’re right on, I actually cried 3 times in this movie… specially when the little girl called the main character daddy I was balling my eyes out
Yup that part fucked me up
youre human@@jesserochon3103
I welled up and tears were flowing on this one. It really reminds you of the human experience when everything goes to hell and what the rebuild is like.
Same. I think I'm older than you. I grew up through a great era, with Spielberg, Lucas and Cameron leading the charge. Later, one of my first jobs was as a projectionist at movie theater through much of the 90's. So I've had some very satisfying theater experiences, where a movie concluded, and I just had an over-whelming feeling that imprinted that movie in my memory, to where I couldn't shake it. I can recount a list of maybe 10-15 movies that have impacted me this way.
Those moments are so much fewer and far between for me now, but this was definitely another one added to that list.
I’m 30 years old. Gonna be 31 on the 27th and when I tell you I have never heard a theater go this silent and quiet (if you’ve seen the movie you know which scene) in my life. This is peak cinema and GODZILLA
yep.
Godzilla is no longer a fun monster of kids and nostalgia, he has transformed into an incarnation of a demon that everyone of us had to fight , weather it’s grief , loss, addiction , depression , your place in life , all the serious questions that people ask themselves. It truly is a masterpiece.
Wow man that was great.
Godzilla embodied ALL OUR personal struggles. Surviving, rebuilding. Amazing observation thank you for that.👏💯🔥🔥🔥
HOLY SHIT!!!🤯🥶😎🥸🤓🧐😵💫😵☹🙁😟😕😮😠😫😖😣🥺😳😶😏🤑🤩@@ip3887 🥰😇
I cannot stop thinking about it either. But in a negative way. This masterpiece should be more readily available for all people to view rather than just a very few select theaters and then gone. Now I have no choice but to see it on TV once it's able to stream.
I have seen it twice and am seeing it again. Each time I watch it I notice something else. This film has so much meaning to be examined. The more I think about it the more I find. The last time I was struck with the idea that our main guy was rewarded when he finally made the choice to live. Up until the point he ejected from the plane he was never sure if he would try to live or try and find redemption by killing himself. Once he has firmly, finally decided to live he is rewarded with the return of Noriko, who he thought was lost.
Maybe I’m adding meaning where it isn’t, but there seems to be so much more beneath the surface. When I first saw it I thought it was kind of a cop out to have her alive, but examining it from an allegorical point of view his redemption warranted a reward for deciding to live for others instead of wallowing in doubt. After 70 years I didn’t know if they would keep coming up with new ways of looking at the story but this film did it.
Side note: I cried the first time, I cried the second time, I’m pretty sure it will get me the third time too
SPOILER ALERT : you make a very good point. In the beginning people berate him & he beats himself up for not dying. And he goes on this journey to where he *willingly* goes on a kamikaze mission and is ready to die & in the end he doesn't have to. The whole community comes together + finds purpose in battling Godzilla. That's what the movie is about to some degree. Oddly placed in a Godzilla movie.
@@Rum-for-all-and-all-for-rum odd maybe for legendary Godzilla movies or the sillier films in the franchise. I think this was a natural progression from the message in the 1954 original. That one was more of a general warning to mankind, whereas Minus One was a look at the individual people that make up communities. The lesson in this film seems to be that there is nothing honorable about sending your own people to their deaths, using them as meat shields basically. During the war, death was almost seen as a reward particularly for the Japanese whose society values honor so strongly (honestly it’s a problem most countries have when it comes to war). Koichi had to learn that there is more honor in life, fighting to protect but not by valuing life so little that it is thrown away.
Man, I could talk about this film for days.
5:00 The thing about this movie is that most of the story is about REAL STUFF that ACTUALLY HAPPENED to real living people in history. No other Godzilla movie has made Godzilla's symbolism for war and human suffering such a front and center focus as Minus One. So, when we see the people in this movie we genuinely recognize them as real people. For American audiences just as much as Japanese this story is about our shared history and impacts that we had on each other. It's far more than just a monster movie because of that. It's a story about us as human beings and our shared struggles against nature and ourselves
I feel the same way. I was incredibly moved by this movie and can’t stop thinking about it. And I was 100% sober at the time. I can’t wait to see it again.
One of the few movies that I liked more after watching it.
First time I've seen certain points in this movie, I also had a sensory overload of sorts, as well as it feeling like an out-of-body experience. I have never felt this with a movie in quite some time and it sticks in my mind from when I get up to when I go to bed. I'm glad its not just me going through this.
I literally only went because i seen your reviews on this movie and the comments in the section i have been seeing people say it’s a tear jerker. I seen them say it was emotional.. i went into the movie thinking i was big and bad and im a huge Godzilla fan and root him for always but this movie made my eyes water and made me say to my self come on man.. you don’t have to do that .. amazing movie and thank yall for gettin me to go see the movie
I totally agree. This is a masterpiece and I’m going to see it again with my whole family in IMAX this weekend. My teen daughter had little interest before cried during the movie and now the biggest fan. This is a movie going experience I will remember for a long time.
The score in this movie is IMPACTFUL. So good.
Love your honesty and raw emotion in this video. I watched it with my wife a young daughter this past weekend....both my wife and I were in tears at the end. The human story of this movie is just so beautifully done. Those that haven't seen it, Believe everything you heard.....this movie is a cinematic masterpiece.
I just got back from viewing it for the second time. Like you, I had to settle for just a 2D showing earlier last Friday. I was so compelled with it. Basically, it's a war-time drama, mixed in with a monster movie. I get chills thinking about the music played throughout it. This time I went to a much larger theater with RPX sound and with a better picture than before. It was MUCH better experience. Two moments in it still made me tear up. I like how it plays it downright serious toned, with a few instances of action. The director steers it on its own course. He does what Toho wants. Does some things Americans want. Rolls it all up and created this movie. I think this is one of the highlights of the year. Just a phenomenal film.
I just saw it for the Second Time too‼️
This score this music is just incredible. The sound and effects are amazing for a 15 million dollar budget. Its an instant classic
I just saw it tonight and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE. so damn good. I really really felt it, felt the emotion. the vfx were so spectacular, everything was paced so well, and I feel remarkably lucky I got to experience it in theaters.
"I feel remarkably lucky."
Likewise. An extreme sense of gratitude to see another person's vision and have it payoff so well.
Had a Godzilla obsession in middle school. DEFINITELY need to find a way to see this with the absurd praise it's getting.
The movie stunned me. Terrifically written characters, great acting, good story. Fantastic film!
I think one of the biggest reasons this film was so good was the story. It was just perfectly executed. It was about shame and redemption. It was about love and regret. It was about a nation in mourning and rebuilding a better future. It was about a giant monster and little makeshift family. Everything felt epic, yet intimate. It’s crazy that we haven’t seen a movie like this from Hollywood for years and I think that’s partly why this film is getting so much attention, and deservedly so. It’s just a breath of fresh air from all the mainstream garbage we’ve just been seeing the last few years.
I’ve been a maaaaassive Godzilla fan for most of my 30 some years of life. While I have my personal favorites, there’s never been a Godzilla film that I could just show anyone and guarantee they’d like it. There’s always some weird moment or low polish VFX holding the film back. G14 and Shin are close, but they both make choices that might rub people the wrong way, and they get some mixed reviews because of it.
But not Minus One. It finally happened. They finally cracked the code and made a Godzilla film with an excellent script and acting, great VFX, and even a Godzilla who looks the way you’d imagine, with a healthy amount of screen time. It’s the highest reviewed Godzilla film ever, and one you could show to nerds, as well as your grandpa. Hell, you could even feel confident taking a date to this thing.
It’s all just so vindicating. Like finally, the masses are starting to see Godzilla the way I do and it makes me so happy. As a mega nerd I am still debating if it’s my personal favorite but it’s absolutely in the conversation.
Saw it yesterday, great story and I was never bored. The ending was great.
The biggest strength of this film-in my top 3 of this year-is that it is set right after the war you see Japan and the characters trying to start their lives again after the atomic bombs. A lot of people have guilt over their actions and living when so many passed. Then, here comes this monster destroying their rebuilding, this time, the survivors or the people can get redemption
That's what resonating
Yes, Naoki San music is truly epic for this film
Generally I don't watch films in theaters multiple times. If I liked a film enough, I'll wait until it's available on DVD/Bluray and watch it over & over then. I managed to see G Minus One in IMAX for my first time. Now I'm thinking of going back to do D-Box.
They moved the Godzilla out of the AMC XD theater, so next time I watched the movie I had to watch on one of their smaller screens😢 dammit, Godzilla needs the BIG screen!!
I wasn't high when I saw it, and I also saw it on a regular screen (I plan to see again, on IMax, in a day or two), but I also teared up, and was surprised as it was happening. I mean it's Godzilla fer cryin out loud! But I now think it was the spirit of this movie. It is first and foremost a movie about the war, the two bombs, and the effect on Japan. I also saw scenes in it that reminded me of some of the Fukushima tsunami rampage in 2011. I also consider Japan my second home. So, understanding the historical context, the culture, the symbolism in the movie (Godzilla himself is symbolic) and then the exquisite accomplishment of the acting, direction, music and just everything came together in this masterpiece. I think it's a very important film, actually. Brilliantly done.
yep.
I can’t stop thinking about it either, this movie has been living rent free in my head lol, I absolutely loved it, I saw it in RPX on Friday, it was intense as fuck, I felt his presence strongly, I felt every roar, footstep and explosion, it was a hell of an experience, Godzilla was just terrifying and vicious as fuck, especially during the beginning in Odo island, I got a bit of a jumpscare when he showed up, he was just loud as fuck goosebumps, the scenes with Godzilla had me astonished, especially that atomic breath scene, felt like watching an actual atom bomb going off, it was just fucking insane, I left the theater in awe. it was the solo horror Godzilla film I have been hoping to see for so long, such a brilliant movie, I really want to see it again in IMAX.
I never in a million years thought I would be scared and emotional watching a Godzilla film. I got the same jumpscare!
This movie did the humans perfectly. It MADE us care it didnt TELL us we’re supposed to care like king of the monsters. I dont even remember millie bobby brown’s name in the movie yet we’re supposed to care about this family and their divorce because the movie tells us to. In this movie you root for the humans so hard because they are written so well
Well directed, great acting and great story. This was a great movie overall. Just even better because it was Godzilla.
The film has also been released in France and has been praised by those who have seen it. However, unfortunately, it was only released for two days, and there were very few movie theaters showing it.
Yesterday night I went back to my local theater to watch this movie in 4DX. It’s one hell of an experience, especially when Godzilla uses his atomic breath, you definitely can feel it. I honestly think Godzilla Minus One will truly stand the test of time
I completely agree. I dont think theres a single time i’ve cried actual tears in a movie theater. Ive gotten close because of the 2014 godzilla and the original Jurassic world but that was pure nostalgia overload. Not emotion. The emotions I felt watching this in theaters I will probably never feel again. And it was a GODZILLA movie. Please see this in theaters before its gone because as stated in the video it won’t be the same digitally at home. It’s genuinely my favorite Godzilla movie ever. Period. No question about it. And one of my favorite movies of all time now.
I completely agree with you 100% this film won't leave my head!!!
I was the only one to clap and cheer in my theater when the credits began... Lmao, lifelong Godzilla fan here, been with the franchise since I could walk.
Everything about Godzilla Minus One just hits in the right places. Human characters you actually love. The use of classic themes. Moments of pure terror as we see the most dangerous version of Godzilla yet. The use of the setting for the film, everything was perfect. Also, love the comparison of Naoki Sato's music to the God King Nobuo Uematsu. Besides the Super Mario Brothers movie, this is the undisputed King of 2023 for not just movies but media in general.
this film got me so good. especially when they played the OG Score. i got goosebumps and man terrifying. (edit) Naoki Sato! thats who it was! when i was hearing those horns and all that. i felt like it was familiar somehow! thats awesome!. they did such a good job with this film. i loved it. Gman was so scary. when he did the atomic blast, and seeing the damage. heart was pounding. legit made my top 3 fav films of all time
The little girl's cry. Broke my heart ❤️.
How about when she said “Daddy?”
I can't stop either....it's becoming one of the many influences for the Godzilla story I want to write.
Bro go ahead and do it. I want to know about that story
@victorapolinario2766 Well it takes influences from a lot of Godzilla eras like heisei, some Mothra elements, minus one and minor influences from a jrpg I played and love. I left a synopsis on another comment on another video but I'll try my best to recap it here.
1000s of years ago there is a civilization that was superior to all others in terms of armies and science. The leader of this empire wanted to establish his dominance so they captured one of the most fearsome sea creatures (leviathan) and performed experiments on it to turn it into a tool of war and Conquest.
A young man from this civilization who was more pacifist and diplomatic thinking felt sorry for the poor tortured creature and hated his leaders for their warmongering beliefs. He let's the creature go and during its rampage it and the young man are killed by the army of this empire. Kindred spirits in both pain and hatred the young man's spirit enters the creature (similar to gmk) and the combined anger, pain and hatred revives the creature and it goes on another rampage this time laying waste to the civilization then disappearing into the sea.
1000s of years pass and the story picks up in the 1940s. Where the creature is awoken and mutated by the bikini atol nuclear test creating Godzilla. As this phenomenon happens a young woman begins having visions of a malevolent creature and of a place she has never been but seems familiar.
I wanted a few more mystical and spiritual elements like Mothra and gmk while trying something different and trying to remain true to Godzillas roots. In both periods of the story he is a hurt creature (and man) who lashes out at a world that causes nothing but suffering and destruction in the people's lust for war and Conquest.
I also want to make Godzilla truly formidable that the usual ingenuity won't be enough to stop him, other more spiritual methods may be required. The angrier he gets the stronger he gets. Where instead of more war and violence the only way to defeat Godzilla is to make peace with it. It is in part due to the people living on the planet that Godzilla is the way he is in the first place. Humanity must atone for their sins.
On paper it even sounds stupid which is why I didn't have as much confidence but I want to tell a story where Godzilla is the judge jury and executioner. Where he holds Humanity accountable for their sins both past and present. I've had some kind words said to pursue this idea but it's so daunting as I want to tell a human story like minus one but I don't think I'm up to the task.
I do have at least two endings in my head that I can choose from. One where Godzilla survives and returns to the sea. Or one where he dies and dissappears but he's at peace when he dies. It's hard for me to decide which direction to take as I love Godzilla too much to outright permanently kill him, but a different ending we usually don't see could be neat.
Dang sorry for the continued edits it's just really strange I got such positive messages. One person even said "we could be looking at the next person to direct and write a Godzilla film". As honorable and a dream come true as that would be. I'm not nearly talented enough I've never written a story in my life nor shot anything on a camera. I'm only doing this because I love Godzilla and I'm feeling somewhat bored with my other hobbies and I've wanted to try writing for some time now. Plus I'm not Japanese so no matter how much I love Godzilla, I won't be able to understand him as well as the Japanese directors who make the best Godzilla stories do. I don't have faith in my own work I want to go through with it with confidence but I'm my own worst critic, always thinking how bad it's going to be instead of constructive criticism.
I’m kind of doing the same thing. Writing a script currently under the title Godzilla: Kingdom of Fire. Basically it takes place during the Vietnam War and Godzilla is still fairly young and is basically how he is at the beginning of Minus One.
@@glibglob8755 That sounds awesome. I hope you're able to finish it.
1000% agree with you.I saw Godzilla Minus One last month(cuz I'm living Japan) then saw it again last night. I had exact same reaction you had. I got way more emotional than the first time. Especially the scene when atomic blast destroyed Ginza and its aftermath, When I see it for the first time I was just exciting because it was so dope but for second time , I could not stop weeping because I felt Shikishima's sadness and desperation.
faxxxxxxxxx
Ive seen it twice now and still cant belive I cried both times. its just so incredibly emotional and a rollercoaster all the way through to the end, even for a man of 60 like me best film Ive seen in many many years
Ive seen in twice. Once in imax and 4dx. Im debating on seeing it again. Gojira is my all time favorite movie and this is literally my second favorite Godzilla movie of all time. Everything was just perfect in this movie
Hows 4dx? ive never seen a movie in 4dx and it looks pretty fun and im debating on whether to watch minus one in 4dx or imax, my first viewing was standard but it was still very amazing
@@biz3678I don't have IMAX in my city, but we got D-Box seats which are basically like 4D, and it was amazing. Definitely worth it for the sensory feels. I loved feeling his scales raise during his charge-ups. You felt more tension because you'd feel it even while he wasn't on-screen and the camera was on the people.
@@biz3678I thought a lot of the 4DX stuff was distracting but there were times that it added to it so as Komiko dangling in the train car (in the trailer) you feel like for a moment that youre in the same train car also holding on.
It's unfortunate that this film isn't gonna get any buzz at the Oscars.
its getting buzz now so lets hope for the best
It could take Best Foreign Film. I'm not sure of the competition though but certainly it will get a nomination.
IT MUST
I seen this movie last night at a Cinemark Dbox seat the ones that move during the movie. Man was this the experience of a lifetime. I wish I could see it again in Dbox.
It’s an absolute masterpiece! I genuinely like getting emotionally invested into media that I watch, and it certainly made me tear up 😢 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just got out from seeing it again. Just as good the second time around. I swear this is one of my favorite movies ever. The damn characters are some of the best I have ever seen in in a movie. Like you said you wanted to see everyone survive. Going to try and get one more viewing in if I can. Glad it's in for a little longer but this needs to be see by everyone.
I sobbed like a baby a couple of times. Tears falling down my face. It never happened to me before. What a great great great film.
No one has the balls to say that a Godzilla movie really was better than oppenheimer and every other movie this year. This was more than just a monster movie that we were all expecting to go see. This movie was deep and powerful. It has to be the closest thing I can relate to for those who were lucky enough to ever see Jaws in theaters for the first time. This was a 10/10
I cant stop thinking about it to man.. want to see it again. The image of godzilla sticking out its head swimming towards the boat is haunting me.. so scary
Saw this at a fan event with my teen daughters... It will probably be a memory that sticks with them forever...
That’s exactly how I felt, why this movie was so good. Why this Godzilla out of all the others makes you care about the characters. This movie isn’t a kaiju movie it’s a war melodrama first with a monster in it. This movie unlike the other “kaiju” movies you don’t count the seconds until the monster is on screen again. It makes you feel invested and love the characters in this film. It’s a fantastic movie.
It's not lost on me that my 2 favorites this year are nuclear themed. This was a masterpiece, let alone an excellent Godzilla movie.
Bro!!! I've seen it twice already and it is still amazing as hell!!! I love this movie so much, it has taken over my number one spot. I'm going to go see it again tomorrow in 4DX.
lucky
Man... listening to your thoughts and the passion in your voice!!!😯.. I haven't seen the movie yet as it doesn't come out until 15 December here in the UK.. but the fact that you've seen it twice and want to see it again makes me wish I had Michael J Fox's time machine and could jump to next Friday!! I have listened to this review of yours 5 times now!! It is currently 4.17am here in the UK as I am typing this, having listened to your review again!! The resonance this movie has created within you has passed on to me!! Would love to hear your further thoughts again next week after you've seen it for a third time.. just to get that vibe again!! Gonna listen to this again!! Great account on what looks likely to be an instant classic and Blockbuster of the Year!!! Would you say that it's better than Oppenheimer?
