it isn't just the best godzilla movie it is a great movie period.
An absolute masterpiece of a movie.
🎉S 😊😊😮
It’s scary when Godzilla is swimming at your with his mouth wide open
@@azneph611that ish triggered my fight-or-flight in the theater 😅
3 or 4 actual rounds of applause during the film in the theater. I haven't witnessed that since Endgame (and X2).
The stunning CG & Visual Effect on a $15-million-dollar-budget movie is something that Hollywood should put into account.
wwas gonna say this...ir's crazy how zilla looks so real, compared to even GxZ, with a much lower budget.
This won’t work in the individualistic nature of the western world. People want more and more money and care less about the art, that’s the issue in Hollywood budgets.
There were parts where he looked a little outta place. Like when he was approaching the train. Still, doesn’t change the fact this movie is a masterpiece
Agreed, Hollywood needs to take notes on this film
It still looks goofy as hell walking.
The mark on Noriko’s neck has been stated by Yamazaki in a recent interview, to be Godzilla’s cells not radiation poisoning
agreed i dont know why he didn't mention it
@@CerealMilkDVD It’s a terrible feeling when I realise that I am better informed than a fan-site
@@SighManP i agree just a simple google search told me about her neck and how it was related to g cells from Godzilla. Right after i seen the movie rushed to my computer to find out and within seconds i got my answer
I hope that means she can grow a new eye.
This was a great movie. You get so invested in the characters that you almost forget Godzilla is in this.
Agreed, yet it was so well-balanced.
Honestly so true. I watched the entire first half of the movie without thinking of Godzilla once. The film did a better job than nearly every other Godzilla movie at making me actually care for the humans. The entire end half of the movie had me dreading the idea Kōichi would sacrifice himself to save the day
Godzilla is almost secondary in his own movie....poor Godzilla..
This is probably one of the better SCs in some time. Really nails the intricacies of the movie and the time period.
Not being bombarded with ads was great. I know they’ve gotta get their money but yea
This is the first giant monster movie where i liked the humans more than the monster.
This is the first giant monster movie where I even cared about the humans.
The first movie in which we want zilla to die
In the story, we are led to believe that Shikishima messed up by not killing Godzilla when he was smaller at the island, but it turns out Godzilla is the one who messed up by leaving Shikishima and the mechanic as survivors. They added value to their lives and fought to protect themselves. And won. For now.
Oh snap
Following the attack on Ginza I had a thought that has literally never, ever crossed my mind while watching one of these movies: Godzilla needs to die. That's how you know this movie is special, just an absolute masterpiece.
I really appreciate how you did the war history research and tied it to this movie. Top-notch video!
I too commend you on the history lesson amongst a film breakdown
This one one of the best movies last year… period. I get emotional every time I watch it. I’ve never gotten emotional over a Godzilla movie. It’s the human drama that really sells this beyond an epic Kaiju movie. Fantastic breakdown. Actually one of the finest. Big props to the writer, Brianna.
I gotten emotional at how bad some of them are... hahaha... But this is such an enjoyable movie after watching more than 10 times.
A couple extras Easter eggs:
When Godzilla attacks Ginza you can hear the Mothra motif before the theme starts again.
Another easter egg is when they are wrapping around Godzilla you hear a Modernized Version of the King Kong Vs Godzilla theme from 1962.
When Godzilla is being pulled up from the bottom of the sea, we see his eyes pop out and they are white. This is an easter egg to GMK Godzilla which his eyes were pure white.
The last shot of Godzilla can also be a callback to GMK where Godzilla's heart is still beating.
The director confirmed that the black mark is Godzilla cells and 2 TOHO monsters that heavily play a role with Godzilla cells are Biolante and SpaceGodzilla.
Maybe in the sequel a scientist gets a hold of Godzilla cells and tries to revive his dead daughter, since the people who survived Ginza most likely regenerated. This can set up another emotional story similar to minus one and also introduce us to Biolante.
Another possibility which is the safer route is that another monster exist which can be rodan or the most likely monster Angurius.
The deep bellow Godzilla lets out after his head gets blown up and he starts to crumble, definitely reminds me of the scene in Jaws after Brody blows up the shark and you see it sink to the ocean floor and a deep roar sound is used
Well, when Godzilla is after their boat, it feels like a scene of Jaws.
Interesting, you didn’t subscribe to the notion that Noriko’s cell’s were somehow infected by that of Godzilla’s, allowing her to survive and heal?
Seems like a bit of a stretch - does this theory imply that everyone within range of the atomic breath will heal? Or if not, I guess my question is how Noriko in particular was "infected"
If that were the case, then why didn't her eye heal?
The director confirmed that it was Godzilla's cells.
This isn’t just a great Godzilla movie it’s great movie in general. This movie took me by surprise just how good it looks and acting and the story. I was literally in tears for almost the entire film. I really don’t like the American versions of the movies anymore they show so much lore but never really show it. And I love that this movie told us that Godzilla is the bad guy not the good guy that everyone needs to be save. This is probably my favorite Godzilla of all time and I have seen the old too and that’s saying something.
it was basically a study on the trauma of war, with Godzilla. Story always wins over cgi
One of the best movies ever, period.
Watch more movies
For your reference, the large white cylindrical building facing the reporters on the roof of the building is the main theater of Toho, the film's producer and distributor, and is called Nichigeki (Japanese Theater). It escaped the air raids of World War II and became loved by people as one of the symbols of Ginza. It is currently being rebuilt due to its age, but it has become a modern, cylindrical building that still retains its features.
Not even ashamed to say this movie had me shed a few tears. It's an amazing movie
This movie had a lot of thought and feeling poured into it. I love seeing Godzilla, but really invested in the characters. I actually teared up and was worried one of our characters might die. I have never felt that way about a Godzilla movie
Finally you covered this exceptional film by Takashi Yamazaki. Not only is this an inspired masterpiece of Kaiju Eiga, but it's also a great piece of Japanese cinema in general. Excellent contextual analysis into Japan's post war socio-political-economic zeitgeist. Great job on delivering this and my props to the writer!
I really hope it gets a part 2/sequel! Minus 1 is easily one of my favorite movies of all time let alone probably my favorite Godzilla movie. Just a perfect film start to finish
Also, the fact that this version of Godzilla possesses a heat ray so powerful that it actively burns the entire front of his body every time he fires it is insane. I don’t remember any other iterations heat ray being that destructive before and if they did I don’t remember seeing it and would love to be proven wrong
I hope there is no sequel. It is a perfect standalone movie which pursues themes relevant to the time. What could a sequel add? It would just be a cash grab.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 are you real? I am not even a Godzilla fan but the most important thing is The King of Monsters fighting other monster.... Always Toho making the first Godzilla movie fighting against people..and after that other monsters. And they have some interesting monsters, yeah we saw Ghidora on Monsterverse..... but there are a lot more.
Godzilla has been my dude since the late 60s!!!!!
I like this movie because they made Godzilla invincible and most likely immortal (or at least gave him one of the best Accelerated Regenerative Healing Factors ever).
This is my fav Godzilla movie and one of my fav movies of all time.
Minus One was a brilliant film. So glad I saw it in the theater. After I left, and every time someone has asked me if the movie is good, I find myself going into how good the performances were and how compelling they made all of the human characters and their stories more than what happened with Godzilla himself. It definitely needed more Oscar nominations.
Happy to see this excellent movie getting covered
Here's an exciting reference you might have missed: In Japanese culture, Dead Fish means giving up on life and not caring anymore about what happens next. Godzilla's arrival is heralded by deep sea fish, which juxtaposes with human protagonist Koichi Shikishima. At critical moments of his arc, Shikishima witnesses the dead fish throughout the story. And though he later deduces their connection to Godzilla, he seems unaware of their eerie connection to the ghosts in his head. Interestingly, the meaning of Dead Fish (i.e., having 'dead fish eyes') may apply to Godzilla himself, as his eyes look like they have nothing left to lose...
Director Yamazaki has stated that the birthmark on Noriko's neck is caused by "Godzilla cells."
"Godzilla cells" are a setting that first appeared in Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989), in which the tragic monster Biollante was born when a rose transplanted with human cells was fused with Godzilla cells, which have the powerful ability to regenerate themselves.
What about the easter eggs referencing Steven Spielberg movies? Early Godzilla and close up of the eye from Jurassic Park? Back to the Future when they were talking about the "Kid and the Doc" before Shikishima board the wooden boat. Jaws when they shot the bomb in Godzilla's mouth. Pretty sure there's more in there.
This is genuinely one of the greatest Japanese movies. I adore this film so much
Another (possible) Easter egg that y’all might find interesting: the plane that Shikishima flies in the final battle (a Kyushu J7W Shinden) was developed to intercept B-29s (aka superfortress heavy bombers) And the scenes of Godzilla stomping through villages right before Shikishima engages him is very reminiscent of the wholesale and unfeeling destruction of an air raid.
26:35
Said seen is also a reference to the exact same kind of scene from GMK where you see Godzilla's heart still beating at the bottom of the ocean
Love the score to this movie
Just watched it yesterday so this is a timely video. I love the arc of the main character.
great film. great breakdown and analysis. nice job screencrush!
I literally watched this for the first time last night! Perfectly timed recap for me 🙏
GREAT writing by Briana!! Congrats!
When Godzilla was attacking the Japanese soldiers in that form; it was a callback to a Godzilla movie moment in Godzilla versus King Ghidorah (1991). In that scene Godzilla attacked soldiers on an Island before he evolved.
Great video as always!
Yes!!!!! Thank you for doing this one, I was really hoping you guys would cover Godzilla Minus One!!!!
Loved this movie when I saw it and it grew on me more and more as the best Godzilla movie I had seen in a long time as well as a phenomenal film in its own right completely.
I hope it is just the start for this format to continue beyond just the monster mash-up concept 😅
One of the best movies of the year.
My personal favorite of last year
@@drewmcgill5290 I totally understand the sentiment. The all-round re-imagining and production was excellent. The human story is emotional and profound. It's amazing how palpable, through story and special fx, the fear of Godzilla is realized. Great film.
Great work guys. Keep it up.
I'm surprised you didn't mention this,but Godzilla's initial dinosaur form isn't a new concept and is a direct reference to Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah from 1991:
in that movie,there's a surviving theropod called Godzillasaurus living on Lagos Island in 1944. Long story short,it gets killed by the Allied Forces,but gets irradiated by the Pacific nuclear tests and becomes Godzilla,just like the creature on Odo Island.
The movie deals with time travel and the moving of Godzillaurus' carcass to avoid Godzilla's creation,but that's his origin story in the Heisei Era continuity
Thanks to Ryan, Brianna, Harriet, Randolf and Lee! 🦖 I think this is my favorite installment of the franchise.
It was a really good movie, Iv watched it about 5 times already. Never gets old.
Thanks for the breakdown ❤
Great Breakdown with a lot of background information - Thank you! Awesome!
My take on the black mark on Noriko’s neck was that she was infected with Godzilla’s regeneration abilities and that’s how she survived being blown away
Excellent video! Enjoyed and learned a lot.
Thank you Ryan & writers for adding all the historical content.
Yall do the best reviews out there for so many different shows/movies. Yall are as awesome as Godzilla -One!
Great movie made on a budget of $12million - compared to an episode of The Acoloyte which costs £23million EACH.
£23m = $46m??
My only complaint is how bottom-heavy they made Godzilla in later scenes. But I guess that explains how he appeared to be standing in the water above the trench. He must have been super buoyant. 😂
Yeah. It wasn't explained but I guess his fat legs are like the liver in fish
Great movie and great review
Yo, this might be the best piece of media you've made my man. Excellent stuff 👌🏽
Loved when they mentioned Freon. My dad, John J. Beall, fresh out of college and working for Dupont, was working on stabilizing Freon in 1938. One of his test canisters had a milky substance in it. He brought it to the attention of his lab manager R. Plunkett. Plunkett had his assistant, Jack do further testing on the substance. The substance was later named Teflon.
If your dad was alive 86 years ago how old are you???
Old ad dirt. 70
This is right there with Titanic in turning a tragedy into an epic and compelling human drama combined with an incredible combination of practical and computer generated effects. Godzilla Minus One is a nearly perfect movie, and is one of my favorites of ANY genre!
I'm soo furtuate to have seen this in the theater and can't wait to see it again.
Go go Godzilla!
The multiple atomic breaths destroying Godzilla from the inside out and the heart regenerating are references to Godzilla GMK, the directors favorite Godzilla movie
Great breakdown!
Love this movie, what a tremendous Godzilla. Best atomic breath hands down.
I truly ❤ this movie. Excellent work! 👍
Thanks for all the history lessons mixed in with this recap. Well done to the writer.
The movie was amazing.
Could the 20mm gun in the plane have killed small godzilla? I think it's meant to be possible but we will never know. By the time any big guns are used, he's much more powerful.
i'm not a godzilla fan, but i watched this movie in the theater to see minami hamabe (noriko) because she's one of my, uh, screen crushes. but i ended up loving the movie itself. i was in tears at the end and had to wait for my eyes to dry before leaving the theater. 😀
btw both minami hamabe and ryuunosuke kamiki (shikishima) had also starred together in an nhk tv morning drama called "ranman." they have great on-screen chemistry.
15:42 I wish I knew how they made it for so cheap they dod such an incredible job the movie looked amazing including the normal scenes and the Godzilla scenes
Nice job, Brianna!
Idk if the actors in this in Japan but god damn there so much better then a lot of American actors when it comes to showing emotion and what not like damn this movie had me scared sad and hopeful at the same time
Finally!!!
I like to think that minus one is a prequel to shin Godzilla, him being underwater regenerating would explain why shin Godzilla ‘evolves’ throughout the film and where shin Godzilla even comes from
Best Godzilla movie ever from a LONG time fan. You did forget to mention the fact that Godzilla transformed as a result of US testing, but that the US was doing everything they could to stay out of hunting him for fear of radicalizing the Soviet Union which also ties into the post war timeline for WW2. Otherwise, very insightful. I noticed the fish, but could not put two and two together as to why they were that way. Good find.
It was a fking incredible movie.
The best movie of 2023 and probably one of the best movies ive ever watched. What a fantastic movie!
Best video about minus 1
People casually forget that we burned Tokyo to the ground.
I got the feeling that the mark moving up her neck was something more than radiation poisoning. The pattern it began to make as it grew was the same shape as the spiked fins on Zilla's back. It could be that the radiation blast caused a mutation that made her heal. She may have even actually died in the blast, but began to regenerate back to life just like Zilla in the final scene. If there is a sequel, I get the feeling she will have changed, and her eye will even grow back. She may even have a direct bond with Zilla, able to tell when and where he might attack. And, eventually, she may also turn into a monster, herself.
Just a hunch.
I love ScreenCrush because it makes love even more the things that I already love.
Got it last night and was not disappointed.
I believe the director confirmed in a interview that the gal died, but it was Godzilla genes that kept her alive
This movie was brutal. Rollercoaster of emotions.
This is the best Godzilla movie I have ever watched.
The light beams when Godzilla Minus One collapses is actually a reference from when Godzilla 2001 dies.
Great movie
One of the best movies I’ve seen in the last five years
I thought the black marks were “G-Cells”, and maybe it helped Noriko regenerate since she didn’t look that bad in the hospital considering how bad the attack was before
just watched it . fantastic movie
One of the best movies everrrrr
Actually this was NOT the first Godzilla film to win an oscar, Shin Godzilla (2016) also won an oscar for best picture and the original film from 1954 won for best visual effects.
Noriko's black veins are also likely a reference to her now having some of the G-cells. Also the ending with Godzilla regenerating right before tje credits roll is a direct reference to the 2001 film Godzilla-Mothra-King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
Loved it. 2 times
this movie was amazing im go rewatching it for the 17th time Im a huge godzilla film guy i love godzilla every since 1954
This & Shin Godzilla are the best Toho Gojira movies ever imo. I count Minus one to be one of the best movies made. You don’t even need Godzilla in it. He just adds to how amazing the movie is.
It was a great film, and for once they brought it all down to the human level. it's interesting that one of Yamazaki's previous films,The Great War of Archimedes, is a perfect bookend to this one, since it's about events leading up to the war. It has the same composer, too, adding to the eerie similarities.
A take a had on the title - it rolls right after we see Godzilla coming back to life, I interpreted it as meaning Godzilla lost this battle, but it is not his last, i think that still works with the intended meaning of Japan being at less than 0
Best movie I’ve seen in awhile.
I just finished watching it and it was so good. The ending 🥹
Regeneration. I recall later films of Godzilla with “G Cells”. “Godzilla Cells”. Nuclear speed regeneration/healing. So I wasn’t too surprised. In fact, it’s been tossed out there, that Godzilla is nuclear powered the way we are chemically powered. Chemical reactions are how we process materials and gain energy. The difference is about one times more for atomics. Chemical bomb vs atomic.
This is wild! I just got to watch this. It came out last winter. I didn't see it i` theaters because, being dyslexic, I knew I wouldn't be able to read all the subtitles. Then I put it off a couple of weeks after it was put on Netflix because I knew I'd have to pause it a lot. Now, today this video is put on UA-cam.
In the novelization, the pre mutated Godzilla already had regeneration. That's how he survived the atomic test.
