"Everyone who survived the War is meant to live." - Noriko ....I have never cried harder. I'm a 6th Generation, Mustang military officer, finally medically Retired. GWoT Marine (2002-2006), Army (2007-2012), and Air Force (2017-2019) Veteran. "Shin Godzilla" was my favorite for a while, but then "Minus One" came in and addresses veteran issues, PTS, and Survivor's Guilt. I never thought I would cry at a Godzilla movie. I saw it 4 times in theatres and was weeping every time. The US veteran's community loves this movie. God Bless America, God Protect Japan. Former enemies, now Greatest of Allies. Redemption! 😇😇😇 May all of our People prosper, be One, and be at Peace, forevermore.

[@codyt821]

I am a Navy FMF Corpsman veteran that served for five years, and was medically retired after being blown up in Iraq for the second time. I also suffer from major PTSD related issues. Survivors guilt, night terrors, major head trauma that gives me seizures and vision problems, and manic depression. This film had me in tears several times. It was so cathartic to see a representation of PTSD portrayed so accurately and with so much emotion and compassion. I have only seen a few films do this to such an accurate degree, and this movie left me in awe. I think any veteran suffering from PTSD would absolutely feel the same way about this film. Thank you for your service mate, and I echo your words on this film completely.

[@Choalith_Ikanthe]

Thank you both for your service. It's an honor to have you here, and to see a depiction of fighting men treated with the dignity and empathy you all deserve. Those of us who live free... those of us who live... thank God for you, and pray you, too, live in peace, pride, and joy for what you gave. Godzilla is the wrath of Humanity itself, a representation of the darkness we can create with the worst of our actions. And whether he stands as friend or foe in his movies, it is ultimately always we who unite, endure, and rise above that anger and destruction. We are the Monsters. But we are also the Heroes. God Bless all of you.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

I love each modern atomic breath, they fit so well with their respective story and tone and all go for something different. Monsterverse is dramatic, exciting, Shin is horrifying and alien, and minus one is slow, unnerving, then violently destructive.

[@NoSyrupLeft]

The sound of the explosion with some good headphones is so damn satisfying even if the context is horrific lol

The way Tachibana comes to realize that Shikishima has been atoning for the deaths on Odo Island is soooo good. Fixing the plane and fitting it with bombs; he understands that Shikishima is ready to die and he forgives him. Telling him to live is his way of telling Shikishima it's time to forgive yourself. Just a masterclass in character development.

[@バーバーズボン]

Tachibana was a mechanic for the Kamikaze Suicide Squad. He had been maintaining the flying coffins of his friends who took off and never returned. Although it is not depicted in the movie, I think he must have been very sad. Shikishima was also a member of the suicide squad, but he did not take off. Shikishima tried to detonate himself with Godzilla as atonement for the war, but Tachibana gave him a way to live. Tachibana was finally able to make arrangements for his friends to survive.

[@edisonlima4647]

It is as the scientists said, their country (as so many) has historically treated its citizens' lives as something too cheap and easily replaceable. It is amazing that this kaiju movie (a genre that almost always does the same) makes a point to say that no, treating life as something cheap just to get results is not a good way of doing things.

[@akoroseraishi8604]

Tachibana was the chief mechanic, correct?

[@mechanicat23]

Thank you for this perspective.

[@williamafton4427]

The only Godzilla movie where we actually care about the human characters.

[@RApollos107]

Without question. Minus One did what so many Godzilla movies either failed to do, or didn’t do. Treat the human characters as exactly those things, humans and characters in the story, rather than simply POVs for us to experience the kaiju attacks through or just one note vehicles to drive the plot from scene to scene where if they died our reactions would’ve been exactly like the Top Gear meme.

[@Janthdanl]

Godzilla 1954 had very great humans characters as well part of the reason it still holds up to this day

[@VerisimilitudeFilms1]

And 1954. Minus One took the intent and emotion of the 1954 original but used the technology and storytelling sensibilities of today.

[@mitube4u]

I shed some tears watching this movie.

[@BMAN-eb4jk]

That very well is what really makes a good Godzilla movie. Unless the circumstances tell otherwise, Godzilla is supposed to strike fear into the hearts of the people in his path.

[@anthonyhudak9363]

The director confirmed the mark on Noriko's neck were Godzilla cells. It's possibly the reason she looks mostly undamaged following that impact. She may have had some of his regenerative properties

[@blackjk1234]

I believe that she been trapped under the crumble for days until she’s found. Can’t move and with the will “survive nomatter what” told from her parents, she scraps everything on the ground to eat, that’s where she ate the left over part of Godzilla and gains its cell. It could either be his cell part dropped upon being hit by the tanks

[@dabbadonisthestout7284]

The fish in the water look the way they do is because the pressure from being forced to the surface in Godzilla's wake makes their organs explode, that's their stomach bloating out from their mouths 😅

PTSD. This cinema is dedicated to troubled soldiers around the world. Not just in Japan, but all over the world. Soldiers who carried out tragic orders, soldiers who witnessed tragic scenes.

[@vapoet]

And trying to rebuild themselves afterward. That's what I was thinking as well. I knew exactly what was going through their heads because I've been there. This does a remarkable job showing post-combat psychological trauma, better than a lot of more drama based movies. It also shows the veterans being willing to climb right back in to fight the fight and do it gladly, even when it terrified them in the past.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This is a masterpiece. The visual effects are phenomenal, (definitely earned that oscar,) and it's the the first time I've cared for the humans as much as the monster scenes.

[@imgettingtoooldforthis]

I found myself loving this movie as a vet and Godzilla fan. 1. The depiction of the emotional and societal scars of war were very well done. 2. The visceral hatred/rage of Godzilla was actually terrifying.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

One of the smartest moves they made with this film was scaling down Godzilla's size. It made the humans able to fight back to some extent, but more importantly it made the humans perceptable to Godzilla. In a lot of versions he is so big that his killing of people doesn't feel like any kind of actual attack, but just a consequence of his existence. Which is scary in its own way. But I think this was is much better.

[@Chasintail850]

He was scaled down because the city skyline in 1948 was incredibly short in comparison to today , he’s as tall as the original 54’ version i believe

[@dontmove1085]

I always found so stupid when in some of those "giant monster" films they pursue humans even if it's isn't profitable at all. Like... you sure a Megalodon will chase a human to the end of the earth just because? It probrably doesn't fill anything

[@chrisskarsbo]

So great, rather than this being a monster movie with humans in it it feels like a human movie with a monster just showing up. Godzilla almost feels like the embodiment of PTSD where he just shows up in random peaceful places and destroys everything around him.

[@ravissary79]

56:30 I appreciate the small detail of the camera getting splashed with water as it pans around Godzilla and that water runs horizontally across the screen as if it was actually flying around the scene🤌 They visually immerse you into every scene

[@kingscorpion7346]

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! Fantastically, brilliantly, amazingly done!

[@blinkachu5275]

I feel like the "problem" with Shin Godzilla (which isn't so much a problem, just a different take) is that Godzilla felt more like an animal not really knowing what it was doing, it was just protecting itself while undergoing painful mutations It was a good movie but Godzilla just didn't feel like Godzilla to me, he only really attacked when provoked, outside of that he just walked around Godzilla Minus One shows what Godzilla is meant to be: Senseless destruction, with the power of a nuclear bomb.

[@bhargavipba]

​@@blinkachu5275It's not a problem. It's very tragic. Shin Godzilla is not the enemy of man, but is suffering because of man. I know minus one has that too, since he is created by nuclear fallout, but Minus one Goji was more animalistic and territorial than Shin Goji was. Shin Godzilla had no idea what was happening until its 4th form and was just trying to survive.

[@Ky-pr4fj]

Saw this movie in theaters, went into it just thinking it was another Godzilla movie. Didn’t even know it wasn’t in English. But man did we LOVE it. Never thought a Godzilla movie would make me cry. It was incredible in every aspect. The story was just phenomenal. And we fully felt that it not being in English, made it even better! We went and saw it in the theaters again after the fact!😊

[@HoboGaming]

[@DarewinOcampo]

The budget for Godzilla Minus 1 was $12 million. The director even joked that he wished he had $15 million to work with.

[@RealBradMiller]

Been watching Godzilla since I was a kid. I remember being ~five, when lightning struck a tree outside my mom's apartment while I was visiting, staying up late watching a Godzilla cartoon marathon. I thought we were being attacked, and it cemented him in my memory. This movie.... Not only the best Godzilla film I have ever seen, it is one of the best films I have ever seen.

[@markangelobravo8949]

As a fan of Godzilla, i love how they came back to the root of its story, that Godzilla is still a monster who destroys lives. The other recent movies made him a hero. I have no problem with that, but I would still like to be reminded that Godzilla is still a metaphor for war and nuclear weapon .

[@mydarknessxd]

You can see that the Director was hugely influenced by Spielberg Jaws and Jurassic Park were probably the Only Monster Movies before this that really explored the Human Characters so well and made the Audience care for them

[@Mangolite]

Godzilla first inspired Steven Spielberg to make Jaws, and in return to full circle, Takashi Yamazaki referenced the shark chase scene as a tribute. Also, the Shinden airplane was an actual Japanese tailwing jet prototype from WWII.

My favorite scene was that final battle, especially when they brought him up and as Godzilla charged up for one final attack everything slowed down and probably the best thing about that moment was the complete absence of any sound only to be broken by Koichi's plane. It was an absolute masterpiece.

[@luluscrooge3891]

Honestly. I wonder how it'd be like if it wasn't released at the same year as Barbenheimer. Not to say that both films didn't deserve its flowers, but given the hype of Oppenheimer and Barbie, I think it'd have been difficult to hold G-1's potential (even though it's really, really excellent, one heck of a movie) up. And the darned movie wasn't even released in many Asian countries despite many people *wanting* to watch (no wonder G-1 is now one of the most pirated films now). I think it's bad timing and also lack of proper promotion. I think they simply didn't expect G-1 to be this huge of a success.

One of the things that works so well for this movie is the musical score. It creates such different moods and emotions. Some of the music is downright ominous, creepy and suspenseful. While the other half is remarkably beautiful, somber and haunting. I also love the use of choirs in this one as well. They feel godly and sublime. Of course, the film wouldn’t be complete without Godzilla’s theme. In this movie, it’s played 3 times and each time, you can hear the differences. My favorite is the 2nd suite that played during the final confrontation. That was about as close to the original theme as it could get!

they made this masterpiece for way less than a tv show season.

I genuinely have no words for how phenomenal of a movie Godzilla Minus One is. I am immensely proud to say that I've been a huge Godzilla fan since I was a kid. This movie deserved its Oscar and so much more

[@SupremeKaiRich]

This movie is FIRE!!!! Godzilla was a MENACE in this movie! Like “GMK Goji” menace It deserved that Oscar

[@infanteloco]

This movie also deserves to be nominated to cinematography, best sound or sound mixed, and also to best score... i saw this on theaters and the sound and sound effects was amazing. I left the cinema feeling my throat so tight, make me cry in some scenes

[@MiaH56]

Love you two from Shogun reactions! Thanks for reacting to Godzilla-1.0! Great reactions and insights as always 😊

[@elvinmacospag6989]

Never thought I would legitimately cry for people in a Godzilla movie. Minus One proved me wrong.

[@hannahawesome85]

This movie is fan-f*cking-tastic!!! This Godzilla is very menacing and scary-looking and powerful! Watched it at the cinema and I love it! 😍

If you didn't make it to the end of the video - The 'MINUS ONE' refers to Godzilla resetting the rebuilding effort, post WW2 (They were at war since 1931, in China); Japan had been set back to ZERO, with all the people killed during the wars, the horrors commited in China by their government; their cities in rubble; Hiroshima and Nagasaki gave EVERYONE in Japan PTSD. Trust in the government, and support from the government was gone. Then, Godzilla shows up while they were rebuilding. The attack on Ginza pushed Japan even further behind, all the way back to 'MINUS ONE.' The cultural perspective on the fictional monster Godzilla is fascinating. To America, Godzilla is a spectacle and a 'Hero of the People' in the new Monsterverse movies. Then this film comes out, reminding us all what Godzilla represents: terror and destruction incarnate.

My son has gone on about this film since its release, so I finally watched it along side the rejects lol first time watch together boys

Yamazaki is no Godzilla rookie. He first directed a comedy/drama, Always: Sunset on Third Street series, the second of which he incorporated a CGI Godzilla, during a daydream sequence in which the daikaiju destroys Tokyo in a most epic way. You can totally see how Yamasaki’s experience would lead him to direct Minus One so perfectly , in that despite such a short sequence, he was able to deliver a great depth of character and heart. Yamasaki also directed the film aspects of Godzilla: the Ride, for the Seibu-en amusement park. The star of Always: Sunset on Third Street 1-3, Hidetaka Yoshioka, plays the ex-navy weapons engineer Kenji Noda. It was awesome seeing him in that role.

The foreshadowing is next level. Those fish, they way they looked was that those deep sea fish surfaced so quickly that their insides puffed out of their mouths from decompression.

If you noticed... he had in his hands a letter from his parents when he returned home. His guilt was two fold, one was not "fulfilling his duty" by Kamikaze and the second was following his parents wishes that he returned alive from the war.

[@lukephillips2241]

I really do love how insanely destructive this Godzilla's atomic blast is.

[@chasebishop309]

tachibana’s arch is amazing and the whole kamikaze side of the story is an amazing way to tell the story (i just realized the movie starts with him deciding to not leave the girl and ends with him deciding to not leave her)

[@johnsechrist1602]

Yo this movie just broke me. Such a beautiful film. Such powerful performances

[@timmadone8930]

That scene at 50:30 was indeed very effective on a big screen. I'd say at least half the audience moved there head at least a little when that scene occurred & some even did a full duck down. That's how much the audience was into this movie at least at the IMAX screening I attended. Nice commentary & reactions. :)

[@RickDashStudios]

So happy you guys reacted to this movie! It has for sure become one of my favorite Godzilla movies, making it into top 2! Number 1 it's Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. & on third place it's Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire! I just had tremendous fear when Godzilla first appeared, kinda chuckled seeing how you guys got scared as well. I love the way Goji is shown in this film, it's pure devastation once he enters the scene & I absolutely love it. Looking forward to what other movie you guys will be reacting next! 👐🏼

[@thejedibro]

Everything in this film is so perfect! From the storytelling, to the sound design (the water sounds were so perfect and had my ears in a state of comfort 😱), to the color grading which was so crisp and colorful, to the beautiful cinematography respecting Godzilla monstrous scale, and that awesome atomic blast! Not to mention the greatly orchestrated music! The acting is the best part! Every character is so well done by those who had the fantastic opportunity to portray them 🔥 this was definitely an awesome film to watch and admire in many ways

[@maingate7672]

Shikishima's scream is actually scarier than Godzilla's! He has just decided this monster's fate, he's gonna kill it, period!

[@MichaelPallada]

This movie was as close as you can get to a perfect movie.
