    Shin Godzilla's motif is evolution. He evolves to adapt to everything thrown at him. The concept and idea for him was that he would eventually evolve into a living universe of sorts. The movie ended with the reveal that Godzilla was in the process of adapting to the last assault. How do you face an army? By becoming an army yourself

      That is not the first thing I think of the 1954 Gojira/Godzilla themes and score they do not sound old to me at all which I didn't know the Original Godzilla theme could sound old but I guess at times it does and usually what screams that something sounds old to me anyway with a soundtrack is the 20th century Fox logo at the start of the Original Trilogy Star Wars movies

    Shin is literally the most tragic monster character I’ve ever seen. Homeboy was crying out in pain and was constantly evolving, losing blood fast with his body regenerating at the same time. He’s like a baby animal trying to look for its mother (in the beginning), he wants to die but his body is not allowing him, he was surviving on pure instinct. My boy is the best Godzilla recently created

    The original Godzilla (1954) was a commentary on atomic power and how it had been unleashed and could not be controlled by bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2. Shin was a commentary on the absolute red tape of post-war bureacracy in Japan, a pointed criticism of the slow response of the government to both the Fukushima nuclear disaster and Tohuku earthquake and tsunami.

      thats only partially true, it was a direct result from the atomic bombing of the bikini atoll islands by america the year the movie was made. It was a disaster and many people died from the fall out. The american version removed all references to the hiroshima and nagasaki bombings. The political commentary from Shin was based on the tsunami and Fukishima meltdown and how the government reacted in such a slow and incompetent way during the aftermath

To get around it, they created Godzilla to represent the sheer destructive force of the atomic bombs that were dropped on them. The original Godzilla was meant to show what the Japanese went through, but also was to show the hope and willpower of the Japanese to rebuild in the wake of such destruction.

      Why do I say hopeful?
      Because Godzilla throughout the movie evolves and adapts to become more powerful and strong. Yet his "final" evolution wasn't growing wings, or becoming invincible, it was evolving into the only thing stronger than him, the human race.

    Probably mentioned already, but the song that plays during the Atomic Breath scene "Who will Know" has been confirmed to be basically Godzilla saying those words, it's his thoughts, his emotions. Which makes it both haunting and tragic, it's why it's one of my favorite tracks.
    What I also love about this film is how it goes back to Godzilla's actual roots, people think Godzilla is always fighting other monsters but he wasn't, he was originally a commentary on the dangers of atomic power, punishment for the hubris of man.

    The atomic breath scene is so fricking powerful. Godzilla is in pain. Every step is painful. He is evolving millions of years in seconds and his body is overheating at the same time. It doesn't want to do any of that but it doesn't know WHAT to do either.
    "Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them."
    - Ishiro Honda, creator of Godzilla.

      Shin is written in katakana. (シン) Without a Kanji to attach specific meaning, Anno allows the meaning of the title to be as broad as possible. For the purposes of this film, Shin can mean "new" (first new Japanese Godzilla in a decade), "true" (going back to treating Godzilla as a metaphor for nuclear holocaust like the original film) or "god" (Gojira/ゴジラ is said to mean God incarnate in this film)

    This is my favorite Godzilla movie. I really love this version of the monster. Evolving it from this fish eyed blob dinosaur crawling through the streets into something really intimidating is the coolest shit. I also love that the human element of this movie isn't just a couple of hero characters doing their thing, but it is government people trying to respond to this problem. I usually just want to see monsters fight in these movies, and I just put up with the human stories. But I thought this movie did it really well. And the atomic breath scene is so fucking cool.

    The truth of Shin Godzilla is that its birth is from toxic waste dumping, and it is constantly in agony but unable to stop morphing. It is not in control of its atomic breath; it’s a buildup of energy that is painfully ejected rather than being consciously used. Shin Godzilla is meant to be a tragic villain.

While we do have our heroes in this story, none of the human characters are outright villains, or even Godzilla for that matter, it's just people that are very overwhelmed by the current situation.

    What's always stayed with me about this movie is that Godzilla actively looks like it's in pain through every step of the process. Like it was venting energy through every means it could because of how painful it was to keep it in, and only acting in self-preservation. Evolution was just its body's reaction to what was happening around it.

    That last scene with Gojira's tail splitting at the end still lives in my head rent-free. The whole motif was that this creature is evolving, constantly evolving to be the alpha, a "creature that surpasses mankind". So that last shot, he was on the verge of evolving into a species he deemed superior: Mankind. They look skeletal and had their own dorsal fins -- if they didn't freeze Gojira in time, those smaller reproductions of Gojira would have caused even more incalculable damage

    I love this movie. This is what Godzilla originally was supposed to be: A terrifying threat to humanity not a weird monstrous saviour of mankind. This is pretty much a modern take on the original from 1954. It's very different because it's dark, serious and political. I didn't like it as much the first time I've watched it because it's rather slow and has lots of talking instead of action but I appreciate that they were trying to depict this kind of situation as realistic as possible. Godzilla might not be on screen all the time but at least the movie is ABOUT him and how Japan deals with his presence. And that's why I like this version way better than the 2014 american movie which wasn't even really about the creature. Speaking of american versions... why don't you guys check out the 1998 movie which is also very different? ;-)

But some of it is definitely composed originally for this movie such as who will know.

    28:17 the first level of the atomic breath, or in this case beam, is atomic smoke. It doesn't look like much, but if you breed that stuff in or get hit by it you're pretty much dead anyway because it's practically nuclear fallout. Then it becomes a combustible flame no different than that from Independence Day. If you've ever seen the movie. Then it concentrates that flame into a beam and well… I think you get the rest.
    31:49 if you have seen the other Godzilla movies, you would know that he has an array of abilities… or rather can create an array of abilities, all depending on the situation.
    31:59 you missed the part where it said Godzilla's asexual… That's how much to the 1998 movie with Zilla
    44:49 what you just saw where is it's fifth form able to divide into multiple humanoid like forms that also have atomic breath… It had other forms, but they cut that and decided to end it since they didn't have enough time for it.

    Looking forward to your reaction, but one suggestion from most of you in your future Thursday reactions, I would recommend following this film to just reacting to the original 1954 film, the 1998 film and the Monsterverse films by Legendary, while balancing on reacting to other different films outside of the Godzilla/Monster/Kaiju films every Thursday such as the _Kingsman_ films, _Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Scott Pilgrim, Stardust, Van Helsing, The Mummy films, Star Wars, Indiana Jones_ a Horror movie (Happy Death Day, Five Nights at Freddy’s),
    Because if you wound up reacting to all of them (as theirs 28-29 of them) it’s going to take you 6-8 months to react to every Godzilla film (the Japanese films, the 1998 American film, the Monsterverse films) and I always would like to see you expand your horizons and reacting to different movies that you’re missing out on and make the Thursday reactions feel new and to add variety.

      For example, the Showa era movies such as:
      1. Rodan's solo film from 1956 and Mothra's solo film from 1961 (so they can see where these two monsters first appeared on film before appearing in the Godzilla series)
      2. Mothra vs. Godzilla from 1964
      3. Ghidorah the Three Headed-Monster also from 1964 (so they can see where Godzilla's most iconic rival first appeared)
      4. War of the Gargantuas from 1966 (because it's an entertaining non-Godzilla kaiju movie)
      5. Destroy All Monsters from 1968
      6. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla from 1974 (so they can see where Godzilla's second most famous rival first appeared)
      The Heisei era movies which has the most continuity out of all the other movies in the series apart from the Monsterverse such as:
      1. The Return of Godzilla from 1984
      2. Godzilla vs. Biollante from 1989
      3. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah from 1991
      4. Godzilla vs. Mothra from 1992
      5. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II from 1993
      6. Godzilla vs. Destoroyah from 1995
      The Gamera Heisei Trilogy from 1995-1999 because they are often regarded as some of the best kaiju movies made and they consist of:
      1. Gamera: Guardian of the Universe from 1995
      2. Gamera 2: Attack of Legion from 1996
      3. Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris from 1999
      And the Millennium era movies consisting of:
      1. Godzilla 2000: Millennium from 1999
      2. GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack from 2001
      3. Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla from 2002
      4. Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. from 2003 (this one is optional in my opinion but still good)
      5. Godzilla: Final Wars from 2004
      The only issue when it comes to reacting to Godzilla movies on UA-cam or just simply reviewing or talking about a Godzilla is that Toho the company/studio that owns the rights to Godzilla and the series is that they are pretty strict when it comes to international copyright laws. So if they are going to react to any Godzilla and or Toho owned movies, they should tread softly or find a work around it.
      Also, I don't care how long it takes for them to watch/react to these movies so long as they watch them on their own time. And I don't mind if they react to other random movies that's what they've been doing.
      And one of the biggest gripes I had with people reacting to some of the Monsterverse movies like Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong, was how much most reactors I've seen had little to no knowledge of Godzilla's monsters or past history that was used in these films from the OG series like Mothra, King Ghidorah, Rodan and Mechagodzilla.

    To be honest, the scenes of Godzilla's massive destruction reminded me of the tsunami disaster, and I was in tears as I watched. Then there were the lines, "This country has risen through scrap and build," "This country can still do more," and "Let's keep going and not give up". This was definitely influenced by the disaster.

    Fun fact: this godzilla only roars when it can't handle the pain it's in anymore. Godzilla in this fillm is basically a giant cancerous tumor. He's in constant unimaginable pain. Everytime he evolves the pain increases. Even his atomic breath is more akin to him vomiting than a voluntary attack. His body is just forcing him to do it to survive. Hes scared and doesnt understand his own existence because hes something that shouldnt exist. An abomination with no real purpose. Death would he his only escape but his body won't let him die. He'll just continue to forcefully and evolve into god knows what(people speculate that he'd eventually evolve into a being similar to Azathoth in the lovecraft verse) Godzilla is just as much a victim in this film as all the people that died to him.

    The fact that the _Shin Godzilla_ video reaction gets 1K-2k or 2-4K views per day is both amazing yet somewhat frightening, even the same can be said with the _Pacific Rim_ reaction as it’s been getting to 1k-2k per day and now sitting at 260k views.
    I remember that the _Shin Godzilla_ reaction back in July was sitting at 230-250k range and back on Monday (September 11) it was at 316k views, now it’s currently sitting at 330k+ views.
    EDIT: Now it’s at 340k views as of today (September 21) and it won’t be long till it surpasses their _Jurassic Park_ reaction, I guess the algorithm of viewers and subscribers just love the Godzilla and Monster reactions.
    EDIT 2: Well call me a Monkey’s uncle but yesterday (September 30) it did surpassed their Jurassic Park reaction and now it’s currently sitting at 357k+ views with their views being 1-2k per day.
    EDIT 3: Late to the party but it looks like that the Jurassic Park Reaction as of October 25 to now (November 25) has just surpassed the Shin Godzilla reaction where the former is now at 537k views while Shin Godzilla is at 434k views. Still it’s really insane that the Shin Godzilla reaction continues to earn 2k-4K views per day when the other reactions earn either 1k views every 1-3 days or 1k views every 1-2 weeks later.
    EDIT 4: Now it’s at 617k views (April 10) and almost inching its way to surpass their Jurassic Park reaction but compared to their previous reactions views they are now earning 1k-2k views every 3-5 days.

    and the dig where they're talking about the name, and the one says, "it's ridiculous." "just as well, the name originated in the US."
    that was toho making a playful dig at us because "gojira" is just from how americans mishear japanese saying "godzilla", because the accent makes it sound like "gojira".

You guys are probably my favorite reaction channel, your so genuine and laid back, so overall you guys are really good company to watch films along with. Anything relative to Dinosaurs, Monsters/Dragons etc was always my thing growing up, and I had a couple of the original Godzilla films from Japan on DVD and VHS, my personal favorite of the originals being Godzilla vs Biollante, followed by Godzilla VS King Ghidorah and the 1954 original. The Kaiju Genre is what started my deep interest in japanese culture and society, and it's had a significant impact on my life so far, I'd love to visit one day. Overall you guys and what you do is everything that I like to see, I immensely appreciate your effort 👍

    This film has Hideaki Anno’s fingerprints all over it. I know he is the director its just that from the music to the cinematography (cut shots and overlays) it definitely comes across as kind of Evangelion-esque. Honestly that’s part of the reason why I love it. I remember feeling really disappointed years ago when I first heard he was taking a break from the last Evangelion film to work on this. However, having seen this movie I don’t regret it one bit. EDIT: The music starting @16:21 is straight from Evangelion.😂

    At $15 million dollars budget (less than 1/10th that of the 2014 US Godzilla film) and a far superior screenplay, Shin Godzilla puts all US Godzilla films to shame. In fact, it is only surpassed by the original 1954 Toho film while more than holding its own.

    Almost half of the musical Score consists of repurposed cues from old Godzilla Movies, composed by Akira Ifukube. And they weren't new recordings, they used the Original Recordings, hence why it sounds a bit archival at times.
    The rest of the Score consists of new compositions by Shiro Sagisu, who also did the Scores for co-director Hideaki Anno's "Neon Genesis Evangelion"-Franchise. Sagisu even reused 'Decisive Battle' from NGE in "Shin Godzilla" at many points as sort of a 'Getting Shit done'-Theme.

    Shins body is alive and has its own consciousness and shin has no control over it. Shins body wants to survive and live but shin really just wants to die
    Even there’s a song called Who Will know and that’s suppose to represent shins point of view 😢

    This is definitely a thinking man's movie and a great modern tribute to the original Godzilla film, which was also really dark and serious. The American Legendary monsterverse movies loves its monster mashups, but this movie is a masterpiece. It actually won a ton of awards, including best picture in Japan.
    If you want recommendations for other Godzilla movies to watch that are more serious and deep, I have two: the original 1954 version (JP audio, subtitled- it made me cry last time I watched it), and GMK (Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack). The original is a very moving piece, and the latter recommendation is actually a direct response to the American '98 Godzilla movie (which I actually loved, but Japan hated) and you can see how the main character is a female reporter type character matches with the American movie.
    The director for GMK also did a Gamera trilogy (giant turtle kaiju) that is widely considered the best kaiju trilogy/series among fans. I highly recommend that trilogy as well. And fun fact, it features Steven Seagal's daughter as one of the main characters.
    I'd also love to see you guys react to this video, which explains a lot of cultural context and nuance that most non-Japanese audience members wouldn't catch or understand the first time ("Why Shin Godzilla Won Best Picture): ua-cam.com/video/yEJoHs4FbFQ/v-deo.html

    The catchphrase of this movie was "Reality(Japan) v Fiction(Gojira)" when it came out in Japan,
    We Japanese people were literally in a crisis of survival after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear power plant accident, and the pros and cons of what politicians did at that time are well portrayed. And the unity of the public and private sectors, including the SDF, became the power to overcome the crisis. The sense of despair and the chaos at that time is well projected in the movie. And of course, when Godzilla first created in 1954, it was the fear of the atomic bomb and radiation in the immediate postwar period that created the fiction of Godzilla, and I think it is a very good quote to have Japan confront Godzilla in a disaster comparable to that.
