ClapperTalks #03 - Godzilla Minus One

Noriko had to live because this movie’s main theme which is “Dying with honor is not the only way. Choosing to live is not a shame” So, if Shikishima chosen kamikaze instead of ejecting, you would not even know she was living

not insulting you or making fun. I'm 62, retired military and have lived through several combat situations. Sometimes a young reactor's naive comments really bug me, even though I know they don't know any better. Okay, I'm done.

Thank you for your service and believe us when we say we mean absolutely no disrespect by our comments and apologise if they did

Noriko's survival is explained if you paid attention to her appearance in the hospital at the movie's end. Look at the moving tattoo on her neck. She has been infected or affected by something Godzilla related. Did you forget Godzilla's ability to rapidly heal? No doubt other survivors will have been also affected in multiple ways. Surely, you guys don't think she was the only person to live through the attacks. She was one of our main characters, so of course the film is going to focus on her.

Our apologies! We just watched back that scene and indeed you are right. We don't know how we could have missed that but thank you for bringing that to our attention!

It really bugs me when people say Noriko should have stayed dead. Who cares what is "realistic"? This is fiction and without that ending I never would have watched it again or brought everyone I could to go see it in the theaters with me 4 times in all. If a story doesn't have a happy ending, why bother?

[@clappercorn]

Valid argument, and am glad you voiced it out as well as supported the film that much. It's good to hear the other side of things, this is why we do what we do 😊

me too, I also love happy ending, and it that farfetch, miracle does happen in real life. And I love to see when miracle happen
