Not because of certain policies, just because Shin Godzilla approaches Godzilla as a problem from a political point of view. So yeah, watch it, if you can and if you are interessted.

To justify the Noriko pushing scene, while it is a trope, it actually heavily supports the message of living above all else. Shikishima is wracked with survivor’s guilt; he believes that he should have died in WWII, as a Kamikaze pilot, and can never escape that. This guilt blinds him to the point in which he can’t see that he has plenty of reasons to live, in having a family through Noriko and Akiko. Noriko’s sacrifice is what pushes Shikishima to take action against Godzilla but it also serves as as a way to build tension and suspense through the viewer. Shikishima plans on taking his own life inorder to stop Godzilla and the film heavily emphasizes that plan. Noriko’s sacrifice is what helps convey the tragedy of this decision, as Noriko sacrificed her life for his but he is now wasting it away for revenge. The film keeps building on that angle of Shikishima tragically sacrificing himself, so when he does end up surviving we’re that much more relieved. The reveal of Noriko being alive could also serve as a kind of reward for Shikishima learning that living is most important and that he shouldn’t treat his life so cheaply.

While I definitely agree that Noriko being alive seems a LITTLE forced, this is the first time the "person we thought was dead actually survived!" bit hasn't felt like a contrivance, not only because of how heartfelt the reunion is (and following that joy up with the horrific Godzilla infection implications and his regeneration), but also because of how it's another sort of callback to Japan's lived reality. There are multiple accounts of both WWII soldiers and a-bomb survivors thinking they had lost someone only to find out weeks months or even years later that that person is alive. So while her revival came out of nowhere for me, I definitely don't hate how they did it. The power of likeable characters lol

If they let Noriko have a psychic link with Godzilla (after he regenerates of course) I would also like it if they introduced the Shobijin for a third movie.

That’s why I’m a huge Godzilla fan, movies like Minus One or Shin Godzilla shows how diverse the franchise can be. On one hand it can be very serious with a lot darker and mature themes, then it can be more fun and action packed, like a lot of the Showa era movies where he’s literally dancing. While I did have the same gripe on the Monsterverse focusing too much on the humans (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but the problem is the Monsterverse human characters being uninteresting) that franchise is more of the actions sequences which I like as well

*SPOILERS* I was also initially disappointed by Noriko miraculously surviving, but I overlooked the significance of that mark on her neck that they zoomed in on during the hospital scene. Apparently it's supposed to be one of Godzilla's cells, meaning she was infected by the radiation that created Godzilla and gained some of Godzilla's powers, like being able to heal herself. Still a bit goofy, but I'm glad they threw in some sort of hint as to how she could have possibly survived the shock wave. I really hope they make a direct sequel to this Godzilla so they can delve more into this.

I thought the same thing. Thanks for explaining better than I would. One thing I was wondering though is how the main character didn’t suffer any effects from the blast.

While it is still ridiculous, I think the most logical reason for her pushing Shikishima and not tackling him is because she could generate much more force to actually push him into the alley in less time than trying to wrap her arms around him and tackle him. The timing of him getting pushed into the alley and her getting blasted away is at practically the same time. With such a small amount of time to act and react after being in such a state of shock I can see the first instinct to be to simply push your loved one out of the way of danger.

Rewatching that scene shows Noriko had just a split second to make the decision to push Shikishima to safety. That scene was shown in slow motion. Add to the fact that she loves him, and wanted to see him live for Akiko and himself to the point that she would sacrifice herself to make that happen. She was definitely thinking of him and not herself, and to me, that truly speaks volumes of what kind of person she was/is.

13:20 except the trope made sense tbh, the shockwave literally hit her less than a second after she pushed him. It would have taken a lot more effort to get koichi to move than just shoving him. The shockwave also probably would have sucked her out of the alley. Also, regarding Norikos survival, there’s a theory that the black “growth” on her neck is godzillas cells, which can explain her rapidly healing and appearing more alive. But I think a bit of scarring on her face would have made it more understandable

Supposedly this implies she's likely suffering some kind of severe radiation poisoning and/or burns from Godzilla's blast, possibly suggesting their reunion may be a brief one, making it more of a bittersweet ending than a happy one.

Supposedly it's G-cells, which would also explain why she survived because g-cells are responsible for Godzilla regeneration. It's also possible that it's just in it's nascent phase and could cause her to mutate, like Biollante who was a mix of g-cells, human and rose genes. It is also possible that she is not the only one infected with these cells.

I think the lack of emotional drama is what drives people off. Shin Godzilla is first and foremost, a movie seen through the lens of people in power, as the movie is meant to capture Godzilla's effect on current japan's politic and economy and how they deal with it. So naturally it won't sit right with general audiences. The stakes and drama in Minus One felt more personal, as we are seeing his destruction through citizen's lenses now. Naturally, it is easier to relate as the emotions of the characters are the core of the movie, unlike Shin Godzilla's more methodical approach

I was never bored through those sections, and actually, some of those human moments are the best in the film, better than anything with Godzilla himself, which those parts with him are phenomenal as well. I couldn't recommend the movie enough either, super good.

Man I can't wait to go see this now. It's so rare the last few years to hear of any movie that seems to be so unanimously praised and hyped up.

One way to change the push trope while still keeping the character death is by tackling the other person, but the tackle is too slow and the character dies while keeping the other alive.

Started watching this video yesterday, made it just a couple minutes in. Paused. Went to watch the trailer. Instantly sold. Called my dad to see if he wanted to see with me tomorrow, he said yeah. Bought tickets. Its now tomorrow just left the theater and am now coming back to watch this video. Charlie had me hook, line, and sinker, sold right away and it caused me to buy tickets a couple minutes of hearing him talk. Awesomeness.

Saw the movie the day after it came out and I love it. The music is amazing, and the way they told the human story was immaculate. And how they portrayed Godzilla was incredible. Making him this deadly and just all around evil is just the correct way to go for a movie of this caliber

I have been a Godzilla fan since 2016 and this was the first Godzilla movie to make me cry like my dog just got ran over by a monster truck. My mom even finds most of The Godzilla movies (especially the older ones) weird and boring but she loved this one.

I have recently been getting into Godzilla. I loved Shin Godzilla. My favorite part is when the city is getting destroyed with a beautiful yet heartbreaking music piece complimenting it. I can’t wait to see Godzilla Minus One

Regarding the ending, I think it helps cement the theme that deciding to live is brave and honorable. There are also threads all throughout the planning scene (and after) about certainty and hope. While Charlie may be correct about the scene being a late addition to the end of the film to lighten it up, I do believe that it helps cap and tighten the ending, as Koichi rejects the idea of self-sacrifice and embraces the decision to live.

It's funny cause in the older movies, I remember that whenever some other Kaiju terrorised humanity, Godzilla came to save humanity. Then after he just starts tearing shit up himself 😂

I kinda like the ending because he was so ready to sacrifice himself to kill godzilla but because that mechanic told him to live and basically absolving his demons he was able to be alive for Noriko. Also would be such a dark (not necessarily bad) ending if he actually sacrifices himself only for her to still be alive. Like damn.
@taylercarter39379 ай бұрын
I liked the very end because they referenced it earlier in the film when the main character was looking for the mechanic. He went to some place for a directory and they said they were overwhelmed with all the requests to find loved ones after the bombing raids (something I’m sure actually happened back then.) So when he finally found the woman it was a great pay off for something established earlier in the film.

As a mildly-obsessed lifelong Godzilla fan, I absolutely loved this movie. Although GMK is still my favorite, I think that this firmly stands as the best in the franchise. I also think that the director is a big GMK fan, considering how many homages/references he slipped into it, along with the two movies sharing a lot of the same themes. No joke, as soon as I heard them call the head mechanic "Tachibana", I knew that they were pull what they did in the final scene.

Takashi Yamazaki was very hands on with the project given his animation/vfx background (Lupin iii: the first, dragon quest: Your story and the live action Parasyte). He modeled Godzilla himself (early versions at least) and even bought a computer to help out with the VFX. It blows me away that they only made this movie for $15 million.

He's been destined to make this film ever since that crazy Godzilla scene in "Always: Sunset on 3rd Street 2", the scene is like a joke but practically for a decade while the franchise was dormant, everyone just pointed at that scene saying "that guy! Hire that guy!"

I loved how Godzilla on Odo island was smaller and more agile which it’s movements while the Godzilla 2 years later is just sooooo huge and slow.
