Agreed. I was blown away over how much I wanted the humans to survive this. How much I grew to care for them. Every single man, woman and child who survived and took part in the battle against this bipedal nuclear warcrime that was Godzilla damn well deserved their shared victory.

But the ending of Godzilla was beautiful, it was earned, everything they had all been through and i actually really wanted that woman to not have died.

I feel like Godzilla is scaled to whatever size the tallest building is. So in the Hollywood versions set in huge cities with massive skyscrapers, Godzilla has to be massive to be a threat to those buildings. But in post-WWII where the buildings aren't nearly that high, he can be smaller and still be a legitimate threat.

I'm Japanese, but this was the first time I was moved by a Japanese science fiction movie. Due to the lack of budget in these types of Japanese movies, they tend to end up with clichéd CGI, but this time they were able to create such high-quality content on a low budget. As a Japanese person, this gave me hope for the future of Japanese movies. From now on, I want Japan to think about its overseas strategy and export more and more wonderful Japanese movies to foreign countries!

I love this movie! Godzilla is not just a genuine threat, but he truly is a monster. And his atomic breath is not a heat wave, but something even worse to its victims that really harken the tragedy of Hiroshima.

Never thought Godzilla would actually make me care so much for the Japanese people.

One thing I noticed about this particular Godzilla is he really enjoys admiring his handiwork after he’s destroyed something.

One of the Godzilla movies from the late 80s or early 90s made me get a bit emotional, but this one made me tear up quite a bit here. It is a great job of showing what PTSD, survivors guilt, and anxiety are like for some people. I also love how it balance that out with the aspects of people willing to work together for each other and even finding ways to be joyful. For any future King Kong and Godzilla writers, please take note from this movie. It is beautiful.

Minus One not only takes elements of some of the best Godzilla films (54, 84, 2000, GMK, Shin) but even resurrects overlooked, promising aspects brought up in other films in the franchise (Godzilla Raids Again, Vs King Ghidorah) and not only improves on them but even SHOWS us things that were only ever implied or just explained through exposition in the past. Heck it even one-ups the Jurassic Park movies of recent years at one point and it took me by surprise how well done it was. The human characters are shockingly good too, probably the best ones we’ve had in a very long time, and setting it in the 40s post-WW2 worked to their benefit, and I liked how it brought attention to a lot of the guys that were chewed up and spat out by the Japanese war machine (the allegory works very well due to being nuanced and the movie does not feel like a petulant lecture). I hope Yamazaki gets his wish and we get another film from him, preferably a sequel because Minus One deserves it, and I’m tired of Toho doing just one-offs like they have done these past 10 years.

That’s just one idea I came up with for how they could go about it.

@Lazarultos3 ай бұрын
It makes sense with the movie's internally established logic too. They established that Godzilla is more vulnerable on the inside than the outside, and he has to channel that atomic energy through his innards, so naturally using his breath attack would fuck him up at least a bit. It also gives more weight to when Godzilla uses it, since it means that he REALLY wants you dead, internal pain and damage be damned. A great parallel for the self-destruction and heavy cost of using Nuclear Weapons.
@gizmomckopp113110 ай бұрын
Primarily, this is a movie about coming to terms with personal guilt and personal trauma. Secondarily it is a movie about Japan and the Japanese people getting back up after WWII. For both instances, this trauma is personified in Godzilla. This alone makes this a damn good monster movie. Put on top lovable characters, stunning visuals, a riveting score and awesome sound design and you have a genre- and era-defining masterpiece. It's that good!

Out of curiosity how's Imperial Japan framed in this movie. Are they framed as victims of the American government, or is it more introspective about what their war of aggression did to the world? The way the topic of Imperial Japan in Japanese cinema is framed can be kind of schizophrenic tbh. Depending on the director Imperial Japan can be celebrated, while others paint them as a once great society turned victims of foreigners, while others denounce it entirely. Even older Godzilla films were a bit schizo about it. 90s Godzilla vs King Ghidorah painted them as heroes while the movie Godzilla Mothra and King Ghidorah giant monsters all out attack's plot centered around the monsters being a manifestation of the victims and war dead of Imperial Japan taking revenge on modern day Japan for not being in remembrance of them. I'm just curious because Godzilla is one of the most iconic anti war / anti nuclear weapons symbols in art to me. I have confidence this film will capture Ishrio Hondas intent when he made the 54 original and I know Toho studios is very diligent in how the Godzilla IP is used these days.

What I love as a long time Godzilla fan is how flexible this character is. You can have the fun popcorn munching films like GvK, the upcoming Godzilla x Kong and many of the Showa Era films. But on the other hand, you can have the thought provoking and harrowing movies like Minus One, the original Gojira and Shin Gojira, as well as every movie in between. And that’s completely ok. People have in their minds it has to be one or the other, but the magic of this character is that he can be whatever the director needs for their story. That being said, Minus One reminded me what I truly love about Godzilla. Never before has a Godzilla movie made me cry and feel so emotionally attached to its story. It really emphasized the beauty of life through the death and destruction and gave a glimmer of hope throughout to keep fighting for. The score is so well done and atmospheric and pacing is top notch.

I also liked that this time, it wasn't the military that took out Godzilla, but instead veterans and regular citizens.

Without subtitles or knowing the language, the movie was impactful and chilling. Last night when we finally saw it with subtitles, it is 10x better that I ever could've imagined. My fiance is a huge godzilla fan, and I am a huge fan of good storytelling as an author. I went in with 0 expectations and holy heck it was beautiful every time. I swear I cried at least 5 times. The characters were enticing, the dialogue and acting was immaculate, and godzilla was the terrifying monster he began as. It was epic as hell. 15 million to make the best godzilla movie I've seen so far and one that far surpasses the american versions that have double the budget. Best movie of the year, hands down.

Just saw it today and it was really good. It pulled at the heart strings and got some tears to well up in my eyes. It's amazing to know how foreign films are knocking it out of the park, and this movie, production-wise had a very quality shine to it. I didn't have any interest in the film, mainly because I did not hear about the film, and the times I did, I assumed it was a Netflix exclusive film or a fan-film (the title sounds like it). I only got a good gist about a week or two back when I saw this video and considering everyone's opinion is overwhelmingly positive, I was willing to see it. Literally, the movie was packed, way much more than some of the films I have seen this year. And when the film was over, the crowd was clapping in applause...Let me be clear, I have not heard an applause for a film in a LONG time (like almost two decades), so it was surprising to hear this and as strong as it was (it was not loud, but enough to know the majority of the crowd enjoyed the film). As well, it seemed the show was the only one where a massive crowd literally took up a section of the theater when me and my mother was leaving. Needless to say, this was a very good film, and the audience reflected the praise that the film is getting.

I watched this in Japan, no subtitles, understood very little dialogue, but I could follow along easy enough anyway. My whole family loved it. I love Kaiju battles, but Godzilla back to being the bad guy was a nice change. Especially during a time when technology wasn’t great so you’re wondering, “How the heck are they going to stop him?”.

You're missing out if you didn't get subtitles. If they removed Godzilla and just made this a film about a dishonored pilot, it would have been a great film.
