Watching GODZILLA MINUS ONE for the FIRST TIME - Розваги
Last scene really made my dad cry in theaters. I have literally NEVER seen him cry before!
Did you ever think you would cry watching a Godzilla movie? I suppose the cutest child actor that can cry on cue helps. I'm 51 and this may be the best movie I have ever seen
あきこ可愛い過ぎたね！
The director indicated that they filmed the little girl crying when she was in the mood to cry, and edited those incidents into the scenes at appropriate times.
@danieldickson8591 Well, they nailed it!
@@danieldickson8591I'm glad they didn't traumatise the poor baby.
You can do alot more with 1.5billion yen in Japan compared to 10million usd in USA. 10mil in USA probably won't even cover actors salary these days.
I love the touch in this movie that even Godzilla gets hurt by his atomic breath. Like it literally hurts him to unleash such power.
You can see the burns around his head and face after he uses it, which have to heal before he can use his "heat ray" again. In fact his whole hide is charred from the A-bomb blast, like it the 1954 movie. Godz is probably in constant pain, which fuels his rage and hatred toward the humans who did this to him.
あなたの意見は重要です。ゴジラは原爆の被害者でもあります、だから人間を憎むし、その製造国は関係ありません。それが最後に崩れ行くゴジラにみんなが敬礼した理由です。そしてそれを一々説明しないこの映画の謙虚さが気持ちいい。
Awesome point. 🤔
What a year to be a Godzilla fan. Two movies within a year that are drastically different and good in their own right. When I saw this in the theater, the audience clapped when it was over. That is a rarity now a days.
I saw it in theaters too.. and my date was mad at me cause the movie made her cry and she wasn't expecting that! 😁
The other one was ass calm down with the lies
I think the last time I witnessed my theatre clapping was Joker.
Thing is this was totally old school pre internet. Like in the US a LOT of this movie was passed around through word of mouth and more and more people saw it and it was REAL good even on the budget it had unlike how most modern movies are made. Goes to show how good something can be if there's just heart behind its creation
Don't forget Legacy of Monsters. We are eating well right now.
The fact this was all done with only a 10 to 12 million dollar budget truly says how incredibly special and amazing this movie is
Wrong 5 Million dollar budget which is an even more impressive budget
@@kayhope9295 u sure about that? Because even the director confirmed it cost around 10 million to make
It was 15 million.
You're all wrong! Yamazaki directed this film in a CAVE! ........with a box of SCRAPS!
@@fearloathingingeneral2877 😂😂😂 BEST.....COMMENT....EVER!! LMAO
As a 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.
Thank you for your service! That day is coming. 'NO MORE WAR!', by AnonameUs. Google/Bing it.
Thank you for your service. I hope I am never forced to do what you’ve had to.
@@L0rdskywarpbestyoutuber Here, here!
Thank you for your service. There are those of us who are working towards a day where war, battles and conflict will be a thing of the past. Humanity is 1 Human Being. 🙂
Unfortunately war is a part of human nature and until everyone on Earth comes together then there will always be a dictator, warlord who wants to make war in order to gain more power or some rich asshole who thinks that the are entitled to everything and yes there are always leaders like that.
Me and my sister agree this should have been nominated for Best Picture.
It could have won Best Foreign Picture as well, but Toho only submitted it for VFX.
@LocustWarlord it wasn't eligible for Best International Film, it wasn't released in Japan within the eligibility window. Oddly, it will be eligible for this category next year.
I love when his shipmates call him out for telling Akiko he’s not her father.
I was so pissed when I heard him say that. Then again...Shikishima's character arch is trying to just stay alive by dodging the bullets of unexpected responsibility.
@Ultra_Fine_Point It makes sense why he feels that way, it's why this movie is such a winner. Overlooked for awards last year. Terrific movie.
Koichi saying that was understandable, but saying it to a child that young and impressionable was inexcusable. I can empathize with both his sentiment and that of his friends.
This movie was a literal CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE.
I saw this in theaters in B&W on the last day of showing, knew absolutely nothing going in... To say the least it is by far the best monster movie I've ever seen. The main theme of self hatred and survivors guilt is done so well, and godzilla looks absolutely incredible
Saw it in theatres 4 times! 3 times, in Color, and the VERY LAST DAY of showing in December in Black and White. I loved it!! Me and my Cousin wept.
The producers scaled Godzilla smaller than the recent American Monsterverse movies, because they wanted it able to recognize and interact with humans on a more personal level. You can tell this Godzilla isn't just crushing humans as a side effect of it moving around. It's deliberately seeking them out to kill them.
I wanted to see it in black and white and didn’t. Hopefully they’ll have the color and B&W version on the Blu-ray 😊
This movie pays respects to the original Godzilla 1954
鳴き声初代ゴジラのものです。
@@user-sw8qs8yo7j There are many call backs to that movie, as well as other G movies over the decades, plus some nods to the Monsterverse films.
@10:30 'A giant shark?' ;Jaws' reference and then soon after, 'the chase'.
I’m this is literally a modern version of the 1954 film, they just didn’t use the oxygen destroyer
Finally.
I saw this in theaters with my dad. I came to watch a movie about godzilla. What I got was a touching movie about the trauma of war and people coming together through tragedy in post-WW2 Japan that also happens to have Gozilla in it. This movie had the least amount of Godzilla in it of any Godzilla movie and somehow they made it one of the best in the franchise. I swear I almost cried twice in that theater.
I saw this twice in Tokyo and once in the US. Caught the Minus Color version in Tokyo the second time. People literally crying in the theater. It was amazing.
The audience in the theater cheered and applauded when Noriko turned out to be alive.
But the marking on her neck indicated she somehow has Godzilla DNA. It explained how she survived the nuclear blast by Godzilla.
Love this movie. This and Shin Godzilla are my favorites. Godzilla finally won an Oscar for Minus One. 🎉
That's biolantte
I thought that too. It could be that Godzillas cells may have gotten stuck in her since the atomic breath burns Godzilla when he fires it. Since he was hit by the shockwave first, small pieces must have been pulled off of him and flew in the direction of Noriko. Just my theory.
Goji FINALLY got his deserves. I think TOHO got ripped off for Best Actor and Best Score and Best Costuming. THIS was a brilliant film!
It should have won 2
My theory is that Noriko is probably trapped in the crumble for days until she's found, she got nothing to eat and she has no other way than eating the Godzilla's cell fell over on the ground
Been watching Godzilla movies for over 40 years. This is easiest the best Godzilla movie I’ve seen. I’m not sure I can’t say it’s my favorite because of the memories of my brother and father that have passed and the nostalgia of watching movies with them but I can say this is objectively a far better movie than those.
I'm so excited to see people starting to react to this. I saw it in the theater four times.
I tell people who haven't seen it that it's a serious post-World War II drama about overcoming survivors guilt and recovering as a nation. And, it also happens involve Godzilla. A crazy combination but it really works in this film.
Just 10/10 best godzilla story so far for me . The storyline , his journey from self hatred to finally fighting the demon in himself by the help of the girl and akiko , i gotta admit i tear up a couple of time in this movie . Also one thing that i like is how they portray the mass weight of Godzilla , like you can see when he step on the street of Ginza it make a crater , you feel his weight which is some of us didnt see the small detail . Even Monsterverse doesnt show that kind of attention of detail . If i'm wrong please correct me but this is just my own small opinion . Also this movie got the director to win the Oscar .
got a few to say to the actors thank you for giving me real emotions all of you made this so real to the creators you made a magnificent movie with layers an absolute masterpiece
My favorite fun fact about this movie is that when the director (Yamazaki) went to the oscars he met steven spielberg and with a rough translation he said "it was like i met god" they then talked for awhile with spielberg saying he saw minus one 3 times in theaters and he absolutey loved the film then yamazaki said that the boat scene was a homage to jaws since he loved that movie then to top it all off Yamazaki gave spielberg the minus one godzilla figure he had been carrying during the entire time
I love stories like this
Yeah! Yamazaki has made his name with this one! Steven Spielberg AND George Lucas were inspired by Akira Kurosawa. So this is a direct feedback loop of INSPIRATION!
This movie truly blew me away when I saw it in theatres. Undoubtedly, it is the Best Godzilla Movie I have ever seen, and it blew my mind knowing the budget of this movie was $15 million; compared to big-budget blockbusters today, that's incredibly small for such an incredibly good-looking movie. Yet, the visuals, writing, acting and cinematography are absolutely masterful. Everyone who worked on this masterpiece 100% deserved the awards it received.
I love how the movie tied into the grim and horrific aftermath of WW2, plus the fallout of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Godzilla is an allegory for the consequences of tampering with nature with atomic warfare, and seeing how this film made you care for the characters and story was truly powerful.
Released in the same year as Oppenheimer. Incredible!! Nuclear non-proliferation is back on the Table! This is great for Humanity!
You're the first reactors to realize it was fish with their innards (air bladder, etc) coming out of their mouth due to the reduced pressure.
The Shinden fighter was a real prototype.
The black rain is a real symptom of a nuclear blast, but it's speculated the growth on Noriko's neck was from Godzilla DNA.
If I'm not wrong one of the planes in the Raiden series of shooters is based off the Shinden I swear its design looked familiar when I saw it
@@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni The Aegis has a rear prop.
Fantastic emotional reaction to this epic Godzilla movie. Godzilla was a straight up menace in this movie.
THIS WAS THE BEST GODZILLA 🐲 FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN, THE ACTING WAS GREAT AS WELL AS THE STORY AND THE SOUNDTRACK WAS INCREDIBLE THE MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE INDEED I'VE SEEN IT THREE TIMES AT THE THEATER NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THIS FILM SO THANK YOU TOHO AND JAPAN 🎉🎉🎉
saw it a few times but on my computer screen and TV in Netflix and it was dubbed in English. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
1. First G movie where you actually cared about the humans instead of just waiting for more monster.
2. My theory on her neck: since she would most definitely have died from that, and since the mark on her neck was moving, I think that somehow part of Godzillas regenerative power was transferred to her and that’s how she was able to survive. I guess we’ll see!
The director has said that what's on her neck are Godzilla cells.
The main character, Shikishima, is played by Ryunosuke Kamiki. He is the voice of Taki in the animated film Your Name. As a side note, Mone Kamishiraishi, who is in charge of Your Name “Mitsuha”, is playing the main character Sen in the play ``Spirited Away'' currently being performed in London. Finally, Mr. Kamiki made his debut as a voice actor at the age of 7, playing the role of the giant Bo baby in Spirited Away. Howl's disciple Markl also provided the voice in Howl's Moving Castle.
He plays Sojiro in Kenshin
There are two theories regarding the black mark on Noriko's neck. One is that it's a form of radiation burn. The second theory, which I think the director has hinted at, is that Noriko came into contact with G cells (Godzilla cells). My guess the G cells from Godzilla's skin got into one of Noriko's injuries and helped her to heal. What this means for her in the future, if Toho decides to make a sequel, may have serious implications. A little bit of Godzilla history, the concept of G cells are explored during the Heisei period of Godzilla movies (1984 to 1995). They start with the Return of Godzilla and end with Godzilla vs Destroyah. I highly recommended those movies and the original 1954 Gojira (Godzilla); the Japanese cut of the movie.
Heisei is a must see, however Return of Goji and vs Biollante is a bit slow and worse than the rest of the series. But, from vs. King Ghidorah onwards everything's going uphill. vs. Destoroyah is just perfect.
It's already confirmed that a sequel is being developed. The director has stated that there will be another monster in the movie. Which monster? He said its a classic Toho space monster, so it could be one of three monsters: King Ghidorah, Gigan, or Hedorah. I didn't list Mechagodzilla because it hasn't been an alien machine since the 1970s, and I didn't list Spacegodzilla because its a more recent opponent.
The infection by the G-Cell is definitely setting her up for something, maybe she'll become Biollante in the future? This gives them a story to work with if she's not a monster in the next film; Godzilla fights the alien while the girl tries to figure out what's going on with herself.

For those that may not know, Godzilla has always had a healing ability. The older movies didnt have the technology we do now to properly show it, but they make it a point to mention that his regeneration is a problem. From attacking his nervous system, to electrocution and the Oxygen Destroyer, theres always a plan to try and take him down with science rather than conventional weapons.
G's regenerative ability comes and goes depending on which incarnation you specify, but we've never seen him heal on screen this fast before. Reminds me of Orga from Godzilla 2000, although that monster stole his regeneration from the G-Man.
"Live" - greatest line coming from someone who wishes you dead.
The best scenes of any godzilla movie came from this one. 1- The speech given the night before fighting. 2- Everything going silent in last fight. 3- and finding out he survived.
Literally the most jawdropping movie I ever seen. Fantastic 👏👏👏
I’m with you on being kinda Star struck by Godzilla I usually don’t like movies where he’s the bad guy but this movie is special a beautiful story of found family and recovering from trauma and plenty of giant monster action
I watched this Movie alone and also by accident... Not a fan for foreign movie so to speak but man... I was caught off guard. Everything was insanely emotional... Is like pulling out and pushed in my emotions like a roller coaster...damn it. The human connections, the PTSD aspect which I can really relate with I mean includes other each and everything about it.. stellar! Shame in Hollywood movies seriously.... This is by far the best monster movie of the century to me. I mean way much more brilliant than any western movie of this genre.... Wow wow wow... I watched it for 3 times already after the first time a day ago!! I just can't get over it.... Just can't!
The director, Mr Yamazaki said that black thing on her neck was that she was infected by the Godzilla regenerating cells. That is the only reason she survived that blast. She regenerated.Thus setting up the sequel to this movie.
It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects!
And I love that it won with barely a tenth of the budget a big Marvel film would have over here.
To me it should have won more than just that. THis was the best movie of 2023

Wow a Godzilla movie brought me to tears
Literally all the music of this movie gives me chills, it’s so good
I grew up watching Godzilla films in the 70s as part of the Creature Double Feature on TV on Saturday afternoons. This is without a doubt the best Godzilla film I've ever watched. I was lucky enough to catch it 3 times in the theater, including once in IMAX and once in black & white during its final week, as Godzilla -1/-C.
This movie blew me away in theaters too
And to think this was made in under 15 million dollars is the cherry on top (some reports say it’s probably between 10 - 13 million)
You don’t need hundreds of millions of dollars to make a fantastic movie
I went to see this movie in theatres back in January and I absolutely loved it. The story, the writing, and the characters were everything.
おそらく今までの海外リアクションで一番好感度高い素晴らしいさ。2人のピュアな反応、鑑賞後の絶賛ぶりがうれしいな。
同意します！😊
As a long time Godzilla fan, I am always happy to see other ppl enjoy a Godzilla movie. Just want to clarify two things (hope that didn’t sound mean, not my intention, I love hearing your theories). The last scene was Godzilla regenerating, hinting his return and a sequal. And the black veins, the director, I heard, clarified it’s Godzilla cells she’s “infected” with. That’s the best word I can describe it. But yeah I enjoyed seeing your rollercoaster of emotions on a Godzilla movie

Mushroom Clouds and Godzilla...
The very origin of Godzilla
Exactly!! Black Rain and Mushroom Clouds. They didn't even mention the black shadows on the walls or the stacks of bones.
The effect of WW2 on the Soul of the Japanese won't leave them. Godzilla, to them, is paying for their Sins of the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere ( "The Japanese Empire").
Horrible crimes will be met with a horrible punishment.
"Godzilla" means a lot to both the Japanese, the entirety of SE Asia, and the Americans.
@@Ultra_Fine_Point That is so, but IMO it was very smart of the producers to reduce the emphasis on The Bomb, and give greater story weight to the universal cost of war. That helps it resonate with a broader audience outside Japan.

大日本帝国の罪の代償⁇
500年もの間、世界を植民地化し続けてきた欧米諸国（白人）。
アジアをその支配から解放した自負は日本にはある。
人種差別を世界で初めて訴えたのは第一次世界大戦後のパリ講和会議。ところが賛成が反対を上回ったにも拘らずアメリカは全会一致でないと駄目だという理由で否決しました。
日本敵視はそこから加速していったと思われます。
植民地を維持する上で人種差別を無くすのはとんでもない事ですからね。
今でもその様な心理が残っているという発言ですが、それはいいです。ただゴジラではオブラートに包んで表現している事を忘れないでください！
大日本帝国の罪の代償⁇
YYEEEESSSSSS! 🔥 Saw this 4 times in the theater, including once on IMAX and once for the black & white version, Godzilla Minus One Minus Color
I accidentally saw it in b&w. Didn't notice when I bought the ticket. I was sitting there and slowly coming to the realization. I absolutely loved it. It felt even darker and made you focus more on the plot. ❤
Seeing this in theaters was amazing! I love Godzilla. Your reactions are always fun 😊
This movie is so emotionally powerful it gave many people the will to live again. Don't waste your life. Live!
What a *FUCKING* movie, man, this is what we go to the movies for.
Awesome reaction. When he pulls the lever at the front of the plane at the end when he files it into Godzilla's mouth, that's the bomb lever the engineer told him he needed to arm, not a ejection lever. The ejection lever/mechanism is at the back of the pilot seat. You can see the head engineer points to it when he instructs him on the plane in the hangar. The director does a great job not showing the actual ejection being activated at the end of the movie.
This movie did the human element right and with emotional intelligence. This should be the standard.
I saw this movie 2 days after it was at our theater worth every penny that day the concrete in the theater was shaking because of Godzilla's footsteps and is heat ray awesome❤
This movie is a platinum titanium gold masterpiece 🤩 best Godzilla movie everything we've gotten through the 70 years that Godzilla's existed planet❤
I was not expecting this to be that good of a movie even better than shin Godzilla toho the company that made Godzilla possible you guys should be proud ladies❤
The special effects look awesome for how much this movie was made with budget of 10 to 12 million Godzilla phenomenal in this movie
A lot of reactors failed to know what a kamikaze pilot is. Koichi should have died in the war, and that is why he had survival guilt. Therefore, Godzilla didn't need to happen for it to be a phenomenal film, but I am glad that the kaiju is in it.
As opposed to other movies where we typically cheer on the monsters destruction, this one you felt the impact of everything on a very human level.
I absolutely adore your guys big reactions to the scenes in this movie. Pretty much mirrored me in the theater. I straight up cried when they showed his girl survived.
14:22 “Look at f-n Godzilla!” -I said the EXACT same thing 🤣💯 This design is so menacing!!!
BEST GODZILLA MOVIE EVER MADE !!! WAY BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN VERSION !!!
The eject happened really fast within those jump cuts. As soon as the plane was about to enter his mouth if you had blinked you would have missed it.
Many people say Godzilla heat ray in this film is just like nulclear explosion, but this heat ray is much better than actual nucleus. This explosion creates just powerful shock waves around Ginza area
but actual nuclear explosion comes w/ fatal heat attack burning skins to be peeled from your body and can even turn you into human charcoal if you are close enough to the bomb dropped center.
I'm glad people start learning about nucleus and knowing how Kamikaze missions effected people ,it should be from other historic sources like actual letters from Kamikaze pilots to their families before they leave to their missions.
However,I feel more ''entertaining'' aspect of this film should be the intended goal , rather than serious''anti war' 'aspects.
Enjoy the film
There were a lot of emotional scenes throughout the movie. You can understand and feel the pain, sadness, loneliness, loss, failure, fear, helplessness and hopelessness that Shkishima is going through. Btw the name of the track that plays most of the painful scene is titled "Pain". Listen to it. A very simple tune that changes tone/pitch to express all the negative emotions.
I never thought I would get emotional in a Godzilla movie. It was sad and painful to watch Shikishima trying hard to pull his life together, but only to have the darkness symbolized by Godzilla to pull him back into the evil black hole. It was also tragically hard to see Akiko losing two moms in her short life.
The actors really sold this movie, I loved the characters in the film way more than a lot of other Godzilla films. And Godzilla is the scariest movie monster in this movie more than others, I really would love to see you check out the 1954 movie
This movie definitely deserved to get an Oscar from the visuals acting as well as the music. I especially like it when they use Godzilla's original theme.
Godzilla has always been known to be a rapid healer… This movie make sure that ability is undeniable
Everybody calls at a heat ray or laser, but it's already got a name the atomic breath but hey either way it's powerful. It's destructive, call it what you wish.😎
I love that the title represents exactly what this movie is showing us. Japan had absolutely nothing after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed… And when they finally started to get their life back together..... Godzilla comes along and now they have less than nothing. In this movie, Godzilla is the representation of the lingering effects of what happened after the atomic bombs dropped on Japan... just like in the original 1954 movie.
The Director, explained that the black mark on the woman's neck is Godzilla cells ... I'm just telling y'all what they said
Actually, at the very end, it just shows that he's regenerating which means Godzilla is coming back 😎
After more than 60 tries in more than 70 years someone finally made a good Godzilla movie!
Only Japan can give the best Godzilla flick!
yes, yes, and yes!

Astounding film, great reaction! You will enjoy it even more after repeat viewings 🙌🏻
The movie cost between 10 to 15 million 😂 put every other movie to Shame. four times in color and four times in black and white at the movies. I've never been so hyped for a movie but I'm always a Godzilla fan. What was best of this toho movie they had all the rights to the original soundtrack music.... Personally it should have been nominated for music and best movie but it wasn't at least they got their first ever academy award. This movie was the only reason why I watched the academy awards live.
I absolutely agree! "Minus One" had a wonderful Sound Effect presentation, an insane Score, and the Costuming was INCREDIBLE, so accurate! At least it caught the Oscar for Special Effects, but it deserved soooooo much more.
This movie just showed you what is a real " Atomic Breath" 🔥🔥
This movie should have gotten way more Oscars, but Hollywood can't celebrate nationalism and masculinity. But perhaps the biggest sin is people getting together and a problem outside of government. This movie is a gem. The omages to JP and Jaws are brilliant ❤
Libertarian ideals are not welcome in Government or the Media. Try to start an independent party in your area and see JUST how badly they will come after you.
I saw this in theaters in IMAX when it first came out. It was an experience. You felt Godzilla's roar and the characters' emotions like you were there. Incredible film.
Truly one of the best godzilla movie all time, this movie showed me how nuclear bombs can be so scary.
Nuclear non-proliferation has been a hot topic for YEARS. Glad to see it back on the table. James Cameron, Hideki Anno, and Hideo Kojima have been talking about this for over half a century (50+ years). As a former US Military officer, I, as well, believe that we must cooperate and communicate with each other, on the national leadership-level, and end the scourge of nuclear weaponry.
My parents grew up during the "Cold War". Scary shit.
Best part?
Godzilla finally won an Oscar!!
I watched this in theaters and it was absolutely amazing.
I’m a huge Godzilla fan… and this movie is not only one of the best Godzilla movies I’ve ever seen (if not the best)… it is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Easily top 10. Masterclass of story telling!
This is the greatest Godzilla movie ever made.
Nahh in my option
@@think-markwhich is your favortite? You're allowed to disagree. I'm just curious, I may like that movie as well.
I mean I grew up on the 1998, unfortunately lol, so I don’t appreciate the old ones as others do, I was born in 88, but when I saw this my jaw was on the ground.
Everyone has their own opinion, but this one won my heart replacing shin as my favorite of all time
Finally a Godzilla movie that captures the OG from my childhood.
One of the best things about this Godzilla movie is that it makes you care for the human characters. Normally the humans in a Godzilla movie are just, meh, but this movie is different.
There's a deeper context when Gojira uses nuclear breath for the first time. When the bombs fell on Japan they were followed by a black rain (kuroi ame), the rain was made black by picking up the particulates kicked up by the bombs. People on the ground were covered in the rain which carried these highly radioactive particulates, and because the bombs destroyed much of the infrastructure a lot of the systems carrying running water did not work so some people drank the rainwater not realizing that it was radioactive which could not be removed by boiling or other cleaning methods. This rain increased the already tragic exposure to radiation of many hibakusha (people affected by the bombs). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rain_(novel)
You guys dropping The Fate Of the Furious tomorrow instead? I have been really enjoying your F&F reactions
I love that he goes from being vilified for not dying, to being saluted for living. I cried so so hard.
This movie needs a sequel.
The director said that there's a sequel being planned. He said he wants it to be a team up. I don't know about that. But give me more OG badass Godzilla because I'm tired of the Monsterverse, frankly.
@@darrylhughes7797 I think having both Legendary and Toho Godzilla movies is great because we kaiju fans are eating great and heartedly.
There's room in this world for both deep and serious Godzilla, and gonzo fun Godzilla.

@@Ezilla82 Except the Legendary movies are becoming increasingly ridiculous. Even the director of the last two Godzilla/Kong movies said that he wanted the next one to be more serious because of Godzilla Minus One.
First off, I just discovered your channel on here recently and binged watch a bunch of your videos and u guys are so cute together! Very enjoyable and entertaining. ❤
Secondly, I watched this in theaters with my buddy (the black and white version) second time for him first time for me and I was mind blown by how amazing this film was, one of if not THE best Godzilla film I’ve ever seen. Surprisingly emotional and I was tearing up in theaters. I can’t wait to rewatch it in color lol.
An announcer mentioned shards of Godzilla were picked up following the blast in the Ginza. I've heard that His healing factor can repair damage on humans as well . Which could lead to him being important to cures in the future. As a story mcguffin.
I feel this was not only a redemption story for the human characters, but a redemption story for all of Japan coming out of WWII. So much death, so many atrocities, and here they have a chance to set things right and embrace life instead of death. Such an incredibly well-done film. And it cost less than $15 million to make . . . while Hollywood spends $250 million on movies that have crap stories and crap CGI.
Great review guys. Exactly the way I felt after watching.
This film is the best Godzilla film since the original Gojira in 1954.
Love you guys but it's criminal to not have seen this in the theater. Seriously. Either version, in color or black and white, it's a different experience than on your TV. ;)
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
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!
I like the chemistry between you two;great stuff , keep -up the good work,kudos!!!!
Y'all need to know that Ryunosuke Kamiki "Shikishima" is your boy Taki from "Your Name", Kenji from "Summer Wars", and also voiced parts in very prominent Ghibli films as well. Please show him some well deserved luv!!
The black mark on Noriko's neck is actually quite a bit more terrifying than your theory. That is actually a piece of Godzilla's DNA, officially known as a G-Cell.
Saw this movie in theaters and it deserves some respect.
Godzilla goes to the ocean floor. However, a new Godzilla is born. In the final hospital scene, Godzilla cells are carved into her neck on her bed. She takes the place of the dead Godzilla. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Given the production budget in this film, it is 100 times better than any marvel movie which it costs exponentially more to make.
Some CGI may still be necessary , but Practical effects still go along way. Japan has shown us what Hollywood has seemed to have forgotten. Sometimes grandiose isn’t about what worlds you can create with CGI. Godzilla minus one has proven it. It has heart. It’s a drama, it’s a period piece, a monster movie..The humanity displayed in this film outshines any of the films in the monster verse and makes me CARE about the human aspect.
I haven't seen any commentary on it, but I have a theory that Godzilla represents ptsd in this movie. Starts with him abandoning his position, and continues to grow over time, causing damage, and is almost impossible to kill
This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿
The director later confirmed the blackness seen on Noriko's neck is a result of G-cells. Ya know, Godzilla's cells. In other movies and literature, Godzilla and his cells are known to have amazing regenerative abilities... as well as the ability to combine with other things to grant the healing factor and amplification of intrinsic abilities. Biollante is the combination of rose and human dna with g-cells. Super Godzilla is a result of those same cells getting sucked into a black hole and then re-emerging from the black hole as a whole new creature very like godzilla but with a whole host of new abilities and attributes. It's very strongly implied that however she came into contact with the cells (probably that drop into the water next to him from the train), the G-cells regenerative abilities are what allowed her to survive the blast and look so relatively whole and unharmed so soon in the hospital. And the regeneration of that chunk of godzilla at the end... definitely a callback to another one of the better godzilla movies in the franchise, GMK, where all that remains of godzilla is his heart sinking to the bottom of the bay... and then it starts beating again. -roll credits-
Nah, your theory's wrong bro. She survived it. She got that Godzilla Regen DNA. And this is a straight forward type of film. Not multiverse crap like Hollywood' love so much.
Nice reaction yall ✌
Director Takashi Yamazaki revealed in an interview with Japanese media that the black mark on her neck is the mark of Godzilla cells that infected her, thus surviving the blast because Godzilla cells gave her super regeneration power. And yes there is a plan for a sequel.
The one thing I have to say is that I wish the little bubble where we can see you two was in one of the top corners so we could see the full subtitles. Aside from that another great reaction video 👍
