GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023) || MOVIE REACTION || *FIRST TIME WATCHING*

[@insanitypepper1740]

I saw it 8 times in theaters. It's an absolute masterpiece.

[@SmittyBirdie]

8 times?? You are a legend!

[@blightlight9906]

Hell of a movie but godamn it! You still rewatching it?😂

[@klaatubaradanikuto7195]

These people are good people. 　Thank you for being moved to tears. 　From Godzilla fans in Japan. 　May happiness come to you too.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Thank you! This was such a powerful film, huge props to the Director, Producers, & Writers of this masterpiece. They deserve all the recognition this movie has gotten.

[@merky6004]

Godzilla was his guilt and shame. Showed up right when he avoided his duty. And it kept getting bigger and bigger.

[@saifis]

I call it regert that keeps coming back to haunt him.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Genius writing to have Godzilla be manifestation of his past & the decision he made. To get his redemption from what he was beating himself up over for such a long time.

[@shannonchurchill4556]

The metaphor is to face your fears and confront problems before they become bigger than you can manage and they destroy you and everyone you love.

[@SmittyBirdie]

@@shannonchurchill4556 that’s such a good metaphor and a good representation of life itself and how things can spiral out of control.

[@Galactic123]

I've seen every single Godzilla film, all 38 of them. Been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid 30 years ago. I saw Godzilla Minus One 6 times in the theater. It is BY FAR the best Godzilla film ever made IMO.

[@VerisimilitudeFilms1]

Same. Been a fan since I was 4 when Godzilla 1985 came out. Own all 38 movies in both languages. Drank sake with Haruo Nakajima and was an extra in Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters. Saw Godzilla X Kong: New Empire only once. BUT... I saw Godzilla: Minus One 17 times in theatres. It is legit, currently my favorite film. When Minus One came out, there were a lot of milestones in my life that coincided with certain elements in the film.

[@ungmd21]

The Shinden was a real plane developed by the Japanese late in the war that did not see action due to the war ending. The director was a bit of a military historian. Check out his previous movie THE ETERNAL ZERO about a kamikaze pilot

I've seen all the movies, and all the reactions to this miracle thus far, and you guys hold the title of my favorite. Your reactions were exactly like my own, and your observations were spot on. The emotion of the movie went through you guys. Keep up the good work. As a older guy now and massive G fan, it's really incredible to see people now watch this movie, and hopefully Shin, '54, Rodan, and Mothra stuff eventually, because once you are in this genre, it'll put a hook in you forever. Toho are masters. Cheers.

[@chanhw]

* Noriko (female lead) might have been infected with G-cells (black mark on her neck) and survived the blast because of its regenerative power. * Takashi Yamazaki (director) explained that post-war Japan was at “zero” and the attack by Godzilla, Tokyo was at “minus one” - hence, Godzilla Minus One. * Amazing that Godzilla Minus One (2023) was made for under $12 million - just 1/13 of the budget of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024). The American Monsterverse Godzilla is like a juicy hamburger while the recent Japanese Toho Godzilla is like a gourmet steak - both are “delicious” depending on your mood. * The latest American “MonsterVerse” Godzilla movies were full of CGI “eye candies,” and did not require me to think very hard. In licensed “monster” movies such as Godzilla vs Kong (2021) and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024), I just “kicked back” and enjoyed the CGI spectacles. More importantly, these two big-budget (over 130 million USD each) “popcorn flicks” were hugely profitable globally. This contractually restricts when and where the Japanese Toho could release or stream its Godzilla movies. * The latest Japanese “Toho” Godzilla movies were allegories of Japan’s traumas, which required me to think deeply. In Shin Godzilla (2016), the bureaucratic Japanese government failed to address the 2011 (rapidly unfolding) triple disasters of earthquake -> then tsunami -> then nuclear plant meltdown using an “evolving” Godzilla as an allegory. In Godzilla Minus One (2023), the people-led effort defeated Godzilla (temporarily) as Japan rebuilt after World War II (post-1945) with a compelling human story of “survivor guilt.” These two low-budget (under 12 million USD each) “monster” movies won numerous awards including Best Picture in Japan (both) and Godzilla Minus One won an Oscar in the US for Best Visual Effects (the first-ever for a low-budget monster movie).

[@SmittyBirdie]

That fun fact about why it’s called Godzilla Minus One is so cool!

[@engvang1388]

Godzilla franchise is older than Star Wars. The movie gives a lot of dynamic, life after WW2, Godzilla resemble as a atomic weapon and possibly WW3, a disgraceful kamikaze, family, a relationship that is not confirmed verbally, and the ending part of killing Godzilla is a reference of what Kamikazes supposed to do during WW2. Great movie for sure! The theme song is very ionic as well.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Definitely very iconic in its own way from Star Wars, Godzilla has so much symbolism to events in real life. It’s amazing, if I am correct it’s the theme music from the 1954 Godzilla (which we do plan on reacting to).

[@Senamatic]

So fun fact! They are actually saying Gojira. It's a combination of the Japanese word for gorilla (gorira) and whale (kujira). Godzilla is the Americanized name for him 😊

While it does seem like she could have tackled both of them to safety, the amount of force required to move a larger person and oneself from a standstill stance would be tremendous . Much easier to just push someone when you have only a split second to make a move. If she tried to move them both, both would have likely been carried away in the explosion. Anyways great reaction.

[@SmittyBirdie]

That’s true, we thought about that in hindsight after we had time to wind down from all the emotions and intensity.

[@CookedSpringtrap]

Plus when the shockwave fully hit Ginza, we're only seeing the true scale of it because time ran much slower for our eyes during the scene. Through the eyes of the citizens of Ginza, however, much like a real-life nuclear bomb scenario, the shockwave was incredibly fast, and there was nothing they could do except watch in pure terror as they were incinerated almost immediately after the explosion. Noriko only had a mere split-second decision to make, and that was to save Shikishima, so she did, nearly costing her life.

[@SmittyBirdie]

@@CookedSpringtrap we had thought of that in hindsight after we finished watching the movie and we were talking about everything that happened that they did not have a chance at all

One of the best reactions ive seen yet. The moment you realize he was able to eject from the plane is a very powerful moment in the film. I was going in for sure that he was going to sacrifice himself. But one thing this movie proves and shows is the growth of so many characters including Tachibana. This movie is the best of 2023 and i saw it 3 times in theaters, this is great story writing and it helps that im a huge Godzilla fan. Lol

[@SmittyBirdie]

[@CyrusCariaga-g4j]

Movie opens with the pride of Japan, the venerable Japanese Zero Fighter. Along with the fictional Odo Island and the monster "Gojira". The premise of the movie is the survivors of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing of March 10th, 1945." Mankinds worst, more casualties in one night & lost in history to the Hiroshima Bomb. As it was raining fire on Tokyo. December 1945, the "Black Market" scene introduced Noriko & Akiko to Koichi is brilliant; with it's vendors, harlots and rice runner. On March 1946, the one year anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", ironically, Koichi is drenched in rain water instead of fire; shares he found a job. Another date shows the sinking of the "Takao" as it surprises Godzilla with bombs. The "Takao" was involved in the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor. On March 10th 2024, on the 79th anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing", Takashi Yamazaki & Crew is awarded the Oscar in Hollywood California. Takashi Yamazaki tells a great Japanese Post WII story using the great Japanese monster "Gojira", that people wouldn't be interested in anyway. Harley Davidson Motorcycle and the Japanese Imperial Army was a surprising discovery. As many others. The last line, Noriko looks to the side of the camera & says, "Is your war.....now, finally over."

TOO! If You Haven’t Seen The Original Gojira 1954 Japanese version See It And I would love to se the sequel redone of the 1954 to this one that would really be awesome with the affects they have but keep it close to the original black and white 1954 version thanks again five ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ to your reaction keep it up and for the scary movies seeing them in a darker tone like the theater will give you a better feel to them.

Those deep sea fish was epic foreshadowing. It was the clue how to defeat Godzilla. They rose to the surface too quickly and died. Decompression caused their innards to balloon out their mouths.

So, I know what happens in every frame of the movie, but every time you shed tears reacting to it, I need to pretend to blame someone for cutting onions. And when I get out of the subway station in Ginza, I am amazed to see that the city is fully recovered and restored after the massive destruction that Godzilla caused, asking myself, "Was that Godzilla?"

[@ExploratoryVessel]

During the atomic breath in Ginza. When it happened it was so fast. People froze because they're over shocked by the bomb including Kōichi. Noriko only had 2 seconds to think and all she could think of is to save Kōichi by using all her strength to push him inside the alley. People watching at home, sitting comfortably, knowing what is going to happen. Like many many other youtubers' reactions, keep saying why did she do that? Run run run. That's just bit annoying. Haha

[@ExploratoryVessel]

Otherwise excellent reaction from you guys.

[@SmittyBirdie]

It was one of those quick think moments for us in the heat & intensity of the moment of the scene. Coupled with the emotions that were already being built up prior to the scene knowing what most likely was going to happen that ended up happening. In hindsight when we finished & were talking about it off camera we came to the same realization,

[@SmittyBirdie]

Thank you!

[@lovellmark50]

I totally agree with you. Everyone else is seemingly pulled out of such a powerful moment to pull apart the logic of what happened. I was too immersed in the emotion of the scene to think "Well, why didn't she just do this?".

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

I wasn't expecting Noriko to have survived. If the impact of hitting the ground after that shockwave from the Atomic Breath didn't kill her, the radiation surely would have. It was a very pleasant surprise that she was still alive, don't get me wrong. It is weird to see what appears to be Godzilla's scales on her neck.

[@SmittyBirdie]

That had us so shocked but we were so happy, we thought for sure she was dead off the same things you said. We had found out later that what is on her neck is Godzilla’s cells. Basically it caused her to heal like how Godzilla in the movie is able to regenerate when he was taking the hits from those mines.

@@SmittyBirdie It'll be interesting to see if the fan theories that Noriko will eventually transform into the plant/human/GCell hybrid monster Biollante (first seen in the 1989 film Godzilla VS Biollante) come to pass. Part of me hopes that those *STAY* fan theories\.

Yes, they still make and plant mines at sea. Now, the vast majority are laid using airplanes and submarines. Magnetic influencer mines were not terribly high-tech during WW2. Mine depth was also not terribly shallow, since the high priority targets were large military capital ships (Battleships, Aircraft carriers and Cruisers) as well as loaded transport ships. They wanted to destroy high value targets that were large and or heavily loaded with high priority commodities such as oil, rubber, fuel, and ammunition. Ships that had a shallow draft were either empty or of lower military value. so most mines varied from 20-50 ft of draft. They wanted deeper mines so that they could either break the keel or open up a large, irreparable holes near the bottom of the ship. They wanted the flooding to be so severe that closing bulkheads, pumping and counter flooding measures could not prevent the damaged ships from capsizing and sinking. Also, the loss of very needed resources to continue the war was imperative in forcing the enemy from being able to fight indefinitely, and thus shortening the war drastically. Also, you used the term Clip improperly. The proper term was Magazine. Very few weapons actually use a clip. The M1 Garand used a loaded (Enbloc) clip to reload. The clip would be ejected from the rifle when empty. Most weapons prior to the Vietnam War also used a device called a stripper clip to reload the weapons. Few modern weapons use clips. But there are still exceptions. The plane was a real prototype plane from the very end of WW2. I'm not certain, but I seem to remember that only 2 were ever built. Of course, the US captured them when our military occupied Japan after the surrender. Now on to the movie. This movie is very similar in concept to the very first Godzilla movie, produced in 1954. This movie is however on a totally different level and scale when it comes to writing and effects. The most outstanding part of this movie is the writing. No other Godzilla movie that I know of has ever been able to bring out the raw emotional response and capture it for the length of the movie. This movie has done something that no other monster movie in history has ever managed to do, make the majority of the audience cry.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Thank you for all the info! It was fascinating all the info about everything back then with the war and how it operated. Yes! We were both taken by such surprise at how emotional this movie made both of us! Such a great film! We can’t wait to get into Godzilla 1954 eventually! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@darkequation]

Small facts: the building in the backgrounds where the tanks engage Godzilla is National Diet Building, if atomic breath lands anywhere near it, which is estimated to be over 20 times stronger than Little Boy, not only the council, but Allied HQ and Imperal Palace as well as the majority of Japanese government, would be wiped out So it's not that officials don't respond, but there is practially none after the attack

[@SmittyBirdie]

This makes so much sense! We didn’t know that! Thank you for that fun fact, it definitely shines a light on what they said about not getting government support for taking Godzilla down.

[@vincentpuccio3689]

Yes, they still use sea mines When they want to block harbors and Sea Lane

[@SmittyBirdie]

That makes sense, sub nets can only do so much when trying to seal a harbor off from entry.

[@RawheadRez]

Best reaction i seen on the movie! I love how the ending is left open for speculation on Noriko's neck. Personally i feel she's infected by Godzilla's regenerative cells and thats what helped her survive.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Thank you! That’s the conclusion we came to as well after doing a little research. It’ll be interesting now what route they decide to take with that. If they will do a sequel or keep it as a one off

[@iflarnted]

The spot on Noriko's neck is a bit of Godzilla the tanks blasted off him. A piece went into her neck and like Godzilla, regenerated her.

Koichi Shikishima has one of the best character arcs in film history. and the scene when he sees the boat he'll working on reminds me of the first time Luke Skywalker saw the Millenium Falcon in Star Wars. you can insert that conversation here: Koichi: "What a piece of junk!" Noda or Akitsu: "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. Plus, I've made a few special modifications myself, so if we'll all just get on board, we can get out of here."

Yes! His redemption arc is amazing to watch unfold. And lol good comparison, we got those vibes too.

The scene where I had the most relief that Koichi survived. I was absolutely crushed thinking he died but respected him at the same time for making the move for the sacrifice

[@Bodneyblue]

A few weeks before this movie came out..I was on a flight home (to UK) from Japan...And during the long flight I watched a number of Japanese movies...One of them was called "Dr Coto's Clinic".....The titles character Dr Coto..was played by Hidetaka Yoshioka who plays Kenji "Doc" Noda in this movie..He has the same hair and glasses...hehe..Also Ryunosuke Kamiki who plays Koichi Shikishima here...was also in the movie...I didn't know until I went to the cinema to see G-1 and instantly recognised the actors I had seen on my flight home a few weeks before...During my trip to Japan I saw a couple of Godzilla's ...The head on top of the hotel in Shinjuku...and the Shin Gozilla statue near Hibiya Stataion. Said to be the biggest Godzillla statue in Japan..(according to Toho creaters of Godzilla.)

[@TheRavenArchon]

Seen almost every Goji movie, and this is by far the best of the whole franchise. They should be so proud of themselves for this masterpiece. As for other Goji movies, they vary so much in their level of quality and cheesiness, and you can jump in almost anywhere as only the movies from the 80s really have any continuity (and even them just barely). There are a number of dark and series ones, and they tend to be high water marks in the franchise, and there are ones so cheesy they're clearly made for kids (especially the ones made in the 70s). The other major serious takes are: Gojira/Godzilla King of the Monsters (original film), Godzilla Returns/Godzilla 1985 (Reboot, ignores all the movies made in the 60s and 70s) - American cut of both these movies are a bit different with an extra character, both cuts of both movies are about equally good, Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah (known as GMK by the fans, 2004? I believe), and Shin Godzilla (extremely dark, very good but slow burn). American 2014 movie falls in here too, but you say you've seen that. If you don't mind a little camp/cheese, almost bordering on old Jim Henson fantasy movies, Mothra vs Godzilla (1964) is a fan favorite, so is Invasion of Astro monster (which is VERY cheesy, but in the best way), Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974), and basically any of the movies made in the 80s/90s (Heisei era movies). Millienium era movies are also a ton of fun, but other than GMK being a pretty serious take, they tend to dial the cheese to 11. American Legendary franchise is also a ton of fun, as long as you accept they're summer popcorn flicks and ignore the human characters.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Agreed, it’s such a solid film, we loved it. And we plan on watching all of the Godzilla movies, cheesy and serious

[@MrDefzilla]

Why was this movie not nominated for best foreign film or best film!?

[@SmittyBirdie]

Sadly because The Academy has big hater energy towards films like these because they are “monster movies”.

[@MrDefzilla]

@@SmittyBirdie was it really a "monster" movie or more a human piece like Oppenheimer from the view of a Japanese soldier living with the guilt of failing his country and family, being followed a representation of his failure called Godzilla? Much like in Iron Man 3, Tony Starks best comment, "we all create our own demons!"

[@SmittyBirdie]

@@MrDefzilla I agree with your stance on it 100% and maybe The Academy did partially see it on that light. But in the end it has a giant space lizard who shoots fire. That’s why they will most likely never throw it into a best picture category even though it should have.

[@mlgodzilla4206]

You’re probably the first reaction to instantly recognize that the floating objects are dead fish, and to associate Godzilla with nuclear weapons. Most just never focus on the nuke scene only to ask if Godzilla got older once he made landfall in Ginza.

[@SmittyBirdie]

All signs easily pointed to the fact, it helps that we have been huge Godzilla fans since we were kids. Read books and such so we knew the lore that his absorption of nuclear energy is what made him grow bigger & stronger. A lizard nuclear reactor.

Shinden is a real plane. It wasn’t put into production though. The war ended before it was put in production.

[@AB-mn6qb]

The J7W1 "Shinden" was more than just a prototype; more than two units were actually produced. However, the war ended while adjustments were still being made. This movie is based on that historical fact. The Shinden boasted impressive specifications: Maximum speed: 750 km/h Armament: 4× 30 mm Type 5 cannons with 60 rounds per gun Bombs: Capable of carrying either 4× 30 kg (66 lb) or 4× 60 kg (130 lb) bombs With these capabilities, it was arguably the most powerful fighter aircraft of World War 2.

When the dust settled from the hype and intensity after we finished watching. And we’re talking about the movie off camera.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

I keep hearing reactors claiming that the handle to arm the bomb is the ejection seat. I understand the misunderstanding but when the mechanic says that it's to arm the bomb, that is what it is for. If it had been to eject the seat, he would have said as much. I believe that in a plane they have to arm the bomb before they use it because the turbulence of the plane could very well make it explode before they get to deploy it.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

Shin Godzilla 2016 is my favorite Godzilla movie, Minus One is a close second. I recommend it, but many don't like it due to the story being somewhat of a satire. I'm not big on satires but I love Shin Godzilla. I didn't even realize it was a satire until it was being mentioned by everyone who reviewed it. Now, I gotta ask. Have you reacted to Nope 2022? That's my all-time favorite movie. Again, not everyone likes the movie. Some are distracted by a certain subplot in the movie that some don't understand how integral it is to the story and plot. I've seen it over 20 times, so I'm pretty familiar with it, and most who don't like the movie, I doubt they'd be willing to give it another chance. I can't claim to have understood the movie the first couple times watching it, but I enjoyed it enough to watch it a few times and then I started watching reactions. I've seen days upon days of reactions to Nope. I get disappointed when people don't like it, but it's fun to watch everyone react to it. There are some really crazy moments in the movie that are just hilarious to watch the confusion and utter terror on the faces of those who watch it.

[@SmittyBirdie]

Deception could always be in play, maybe he could have said oh yeah this is to arm the bomb when in reality it was the ejection seat to essentially force him to eject because maybe he thought he would never do it. It was the thought we had in the moment before the flashback displaying him showing which one is the ejection seat.

[@SmittyBirdie]

We have planned Shin Godzilla & Godzilla 1954 as a reaction & we are planning reactions for the Jordan Peele horror trilogy of Get Out, Nope, & Us.

​@@SmittyBirdie I watched another reaction video and right when the bomb arming handle was pulled, they said, "I guess I was wrong about the ejection seat." Many seem to think even though the mechanic says the handle is for the bomb, I guess most just think it's an election seat because everyone wants there to be one. And there was one, just not the same handle. I apologize if I seem rude. It just trips me whenever someone decides they are talking about something they aren't.

Noriko's body mass . She had to plant herself and dig in to push Koichi to safety She didn't have the weight to tackle him and her without a running start. It was that same lack of body mass that threw her with the leading edge of the shockwave just before the heavier debris.
