The translator did an amazing job! The literal translation of this line in Japanese is "I leave this country in your hands."

In this film as well, there were honestly many scenes that were overly explanatory, but the translation did a wonderful job, making the work better as a whole.

I said this in The Normies reaction, but you can tell this Godzilla’s behavior was based on the director’s cat. It also allows you to view his actions as one of two ways. A) His destruction felt more curious and playful than anger. He gets distracted by his own explosions. Even when killing people, he feels like a cat being proud about killing a mouse. It honestly makes him more scary that he both is and isn’t aware of the carnage he’s wrought. B) He is intelligent and sentient like most other incarnations of Godzilla, and is taking his anger out on Japan for the nuke. There's a great fan-monologue about Godzilla's motivations I always loved... "I was the last of my kind, and you turned me into the first. That is why I punish you... because I never though I could be made more alone."

Takashi Yamazaki who was the director, writer, and VFX supervisor for this film was told by Steven Spielberg that not only did he love it, he saw this film in IMAX 3 times. He also confirmed that the black substance crawling up Noriko’s neck in the final shot was in fact Godzilla’s cells, implying that she was able to survive because she had mostly regenerated just like Godzilla. And she likely got those cells because the news voiceover said parts of Godzilla came off him when he was being shot at by the tanks.

This probably would have been the most powerful warship they could have used.That's why the "kid" Mizushima and the others are so excited and hopeful that it is coming. Instead of that, he just said it was a heavy cruiser that was used for target practice in the Phillipines, the kind of thing a typical KZbinr might read somewhere while they were trying to get ready for a KZbin video about something they know next to nothing about (as usual). So I don't think he is a military ship enthusiast.

Godzilla back to being the "harbinger of the apocalypse" as originally intended, plus a deeply emotional and compelling human story equals the best Godzilla film since the original Gojira in 1954.
For me, the real breakout character in this film is Sumiko, who quickly evolves from her Karen-esque introduction into a caring-- if brusque-- friend and neighbor. Her sacrificing of her prized stash of rice to feed Akiko... followed by Noriko's deep bow of respect... is one of the movie's most moving moments.

A couple fun facts that weren't mentioned: • The Shinden aircraft was built as a 1:1 accurate replica and anonymously donated to a Japanese WWII museum and it was only revealed that it was made by Toho for the film after Minus One released. • The fish showing up dead near when Godzilla arrives are what the professor sees and gives him the inspiration for why the pressurization & depressurization tactic is his plan for defeating Godzilla. • Sumiko initially berating Shikishima for not carrying out his duty as a kamikaze pilot sets up for her experiencing that same frustration and fear when she thinks he DOES do that at the end of the film. Even though she lost her old children and is left with Akiko, it shows that she genuinely processed her emotion and pain exactly as much as Shikishima did. • Godzilla is portrayed as a curse god (Tatarigami) where the physical and emotional trauma lashes out at everything around them, even if they're all suffering from the same pain. It's why Godzilla's wrath gets directed at the Japanese instead of the Americans the same way we see with characters like Sumiko in the aftermath of the war. That's why they salute Godzilla as he's crumbling into the ocean, as that type of entity isn't fought out of malice, but necessity. It's also why the mark on Noriko's neck at the end is the type of scar that gets passed on (like in Princess Mononoke which is also abiut Tatarigami and how that hatred & pain spreads to everything it touches). • Lastly, one of the director's original films, *_Returner_* has been a favourite of mine for years, and also has a human story in the middle of a sci-fi premise. If you enjoyed this, you might enjoy that even though it's got a different tone and is more of an action movie, the human-level focus makes his films just SO good.

Dear American Godzilla fans, I am a Japanese Godzilla fan. Japan's Godzilla series came to an end with Godzilla Final Wars, but I think it was created with new talent as Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One. The title "Minus" in Godzilla Minus One means that Japan, which had lost everything after the war, is threatened to become even more negative, but the film was released one year earlier than its original 70th anniversary in consideration of Godzilla and Kong being released in 2024. It is said that it also has meaning. Director Yamazaki has officially mentioned that the birthmark on Noriko's neck is Godzilla cells, and it seems that the director is also interested in making a sequel.

I've watched all the Godzilla films multiple times since I was a kid. In the late 80's, early 90's one of the cable channels had a 3 day marathon every May. Minus One is probably one of the best Godzilla movies I've ever seen. Not just the story but the thought put into fighting Godzilla with something that was realistic for the time period.

Something about the ending where he is reunited with the women he loves. If you're wondering how she survived with such little damage, according to the director there is a black spot on her neck that you can just barely see, that spot is G-Cells aka Godzillla's cells. We see in the very end of the movie Godzilla is regenerating. So if what the director said is true then she is possibly infected with Godzilla's cells that allowed her to body to heal itself. My theory as to how she possibly got infected with Godzilla's cells, is the scene where he bites into the train car she is in with his mouth. The movie shows that the inside of his mouth is a weak spot and can be more easily damaged. So what I am thinking is when he bit into the train some of his DNA got the train and when she fell into the water and the train was dropped behind her that is when she was infected with his cells.

Every ship and plane you saw in this film existed and survived the war, and all they do is change their fates a little. The destroyer they were aboard at the end was considered "lucky", as it had been through many battles and survived all of them without taking any combat damage, or losing any crew--a remarkable achievement for any Japanese naval vessel in WWII. Post-war, she was given to the Chinese Navy and served with the Nationalists there and in Taiwan until the 1970s. There was some discussion of turning her into a museum, but she was ultimately scrapped, but not before some relics were returned to Japan for preservation as a goodwill gesture.

Apparently the director wrote a novel that supports this. I can't find a copy that has a good translation since it's written in Japanese, but I remember reading about this scene and it says something like Noriko not caring to live anymore in this scene, probably because of shock or hopelessness about what she just saw and how she narrowly escaped.
@sendaljepitseribu1082 ай бұрын
just random fact i find it interseting (and spoiler alert): Why do all people give salute when Godzilla falls? They see Godzilla as "Tatarigami," but what is Tatarigami? Tatarigami are powerful spirits that bring death, destruction, fire, famine, plague, war, and all forms of calamity. This concept was mentioned by the director, Takashi Yamazaki: "There is a concept in Japan called ‘tatarigami’ [spirits that bring calamity]. There are good gods, and there are bad gods. Godzilla is half-monster, but it’s also half-god." As far as I know, Japanese people respect both concepts of bad and good gods as part of their culture and religion. The Kyoto Gion Festival or Gion Matsuri, a festival dating back to 869, which originated as an attempt by the people of Kyoto to conduct a purification ritual and appease the gods during an epidemic. The description of Tatarigami is represented in Godzilla, and the attempt to stop Godzilla is not just an act to kill the monster, but also an act to purify and appease the spirit of calamity. That's why people give Godzilla a form of respect by saluting it, hoping that it is finally appeased and gone peacefully. Another random fact theory : This spirit of calamity cannot be killed, but only appeased, as it is part of nature. Someday, it will emerge again to bring calamities, and it symbolized by the end scene of Godzilla regeneration.

@aidanjanemcintosh69193 ай бұрын
1:06:07 Godzilla was originally, supposedly, the 'bad guy' in the 1954 movie. It was a curse sent down by gods as a consequence and punishment for warmongers. It was less of a monster movie and more of a disaster movie. But if I'm not mistaken, the godzilla became very popular and people started to make more godzilla movies, but 'dumbed down' where godzilla became some sort of anti-hero, and it became a trend. This movie was the first and only movie to portray godzilla exactly as it was in the 1954 movie.

The orignal Japanese version of Godzilla has a strong anti-nuclear weapons message. Godzilla is essentially the punishment for the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The first Godzilla movie came out only 9 years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So the scars where still pretty fresh and nearly all the people living in Japan at the time remember it happening and living through it. In some later Godzilla movies where he was an anti-hero he was nature's punishment for polluting the planet. Other movies he was the defender of the planet.

Godzilla is TATARIGAMI as mention Takashi Yamazaki in a interview, TATARIGAMI is a spirit (high-dimensional being) that continued to be feared even after it died a violent death as a human. There is also a theory that he is the incarnation of a heroic spirit who died during WW2. (TATARIGAMI is also depicted in Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. The black stain is common in both films.) Although TATARIGAMI is a wild spirit and is feared and shunned, if it is carefully enshrined, it can become a powerful guardian deity. They are the gods that are worshiped. How would you describe the existence between God and living things as follows? The director and CG artists spent more than six months developing Godzilla's walking style.

This movie is the only one where Godzilla has truly scared me! That soulless fury in his eyes as he chases the boat. Or the rear up in the water. The nuke mushroom cloud after blasting the tanks in Ginza. I also saw in him that he's now in mindless pain from being burned. Monster version, if you will, of the Keloid or burn calluses that survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had. So I feel sorry for him, but at the same time his rage is still a terror to behold. I saw it in theaters and I couldn't move for a bit when the credits began. Emotional whiplash was too much.

First and foremost, this movies is a love story, just with Godzilla added. It could easily have been a movie where the antagonist would be war itself. And that's why it's SO good. The recent Monsterverse movies all add a lot of characters, but I personally don't care for any of those characters, and whether they live or die. Those movies focus on being monster-movies first, and good stories second. This movie is the exact opposite, and that's why it's the best Godzilla movie ever (in my opinion - Shin Godzilla is also very good).

I was working at my local cinema when this film was showing and that Godzilla roar in the credits made me shit myself when I was cleaning up late at night 😂
When the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the explosion seeded the clouds and caused a Black Rain(Kuroi Ame) to fall shortly after. That rain, filled with radioactive particulates coated everything. Because homes and infrastructure were destroyed survivors could not change clothes so those particulates remained on them. With few sources of running water people boiled what they could find to drink, but the Black Rain had washed into the water they found and unknown to them boiling would not remove the radioactive particulates. So that rain that falls after Godzilla strikes with the nuclear breath has very deep significance in Japan as detailed in a 1965 novel named Black Rain. The book was made into a Japanese film in 1989 but it was overshadowed in the US by Ridley Scott's film of the same name, which also came out that year, about two American Cops who go to Japan and become embroiled in a case when the prisoner they were extraditing to Japan escapes.

I saw this movie in theaters and since then I've watched it about 6 or 7 times. I simply love everything about this movie. The characters, the acting, the story, the music, the CGI/special effects. This was one of the biggest surprise movies I've ever experienced. I went into this movie expecting a similar tone to Shin Godzilla. I thought there'd be a lot of satire and some ridiculous comedy. This movie blew me away. The dialogue was much better (and real), the characters all stood out so nobody really got lost in the shuffle, and the movie made you actually care about the characters. This wasn't like Godzilla x Kong where you go for the destruction and don't care about the human element -- this movie focused on the people and it really gave the feeling that there were real stakes if their plan didn't work. And of course the music was fantastic -- especially that theme in Ginza. The fact that this movie cost $10-15M is remarkable and it looks better than most $200+ million dollar movies. This has become one of my favorite movies of all-time.
