That atomic breath scene.. is exactly what they witness what the atomic bomb looks like when it drop. Godzilla minus one isn’t a movie but the reminder on what the nuclear war would look like..

[@devinschuhs798]

Same as the first Godzilla too

[@dartigens10]

Godzilla at its roots is very anti-nuclear. I remember reading somewhere that the creator of the very first Godzilla film was either himself a survivor of one of the atomic bombings, or his parents were, and it shows.

[@bullytwist9257]

@that’s not true, but pretty much everyone who worked on the original movie was a soldier during the war

[@jtgd]

Even a double flash

[@DavidStruveDesigns]

Yeah I thought the same thing. Some people experienced that very thing for real ... twice. There were more than one survivor of BOTH atomic blasts (although one man - Tsutomu Yamaguchi - gets most of the publicity for it). Imagine the survivors guilt of him and the others that survived. And that commentor was right about the physics too, if the blast is big enough the shockwave leaves behind an extreme low pressure zone - potentially even a vacuum - so the blast wave would then go back the other way as the air rushed back to fill the void. Honestly my brain can't even comprehend actually witnessing and surviving a nuclear blast, that experience just doesn't want to properly compute.

[@larryphhihds4415]

This scene is so powerful on many levels. Godzilla is a true monster here. But not just a monster. But a being. A being filled with rage and hatred for humanity. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is going to destroy as many humans as possible. He is going to destroy their cities. Their buildings. Their machines. He stomps on them, he crushes their homes, he takes his tail and purposely destroys whole city blocks. He gets attacked by the tanks, and, as if to show how little it effects him, he shrugs it off with a head nod and then unleashes his atomic breath. And afterwards, as he looks upon his mushroom cloud, he clenches his fist and roars triumphantly. Meanwhile, Noriko shows us our humanity. She saves Koichi. Koichi, on his kness, soaked in the falling rain of an atomic blast, soaked in the blood of fellow humans, soaked in the debris that is washing down on him is overcome with emotions and screams at this towering god. On his knees, soaked in horror. That is the moment when Koichi, is born again. When he makes the decision that he will do what ever it is that he must do to stop Godzilla. To end this war for everyone.

Literally. The shot immediately after Noriko is swept away shows how everything was instantly flattened. And they're standing right next to each other, so tackling him in wouldn't have worked either.

Because they stand so close to each other, Noriko’s push has much more power and momentum than her tackling him with herself into the alley.

Physics were ignored here for storyline purposes. You can actually get LESS power standing close because you can't brace yourself as well. Not that she had time to think about bracing herself properly. But she DID have time to go with him to safety. Just makes a more emotionally involving story if she doesn't.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

@@trevorberridge6079 Or, she had a split second and it was a reflex. To do what you point out requires movement of feet and hands and thought. She's probably never tackled or shoved anyone like that ever in her life. I play a lot of tennis. When I'm at the net it takes training to know that for a better volley move both feet and hands. But, most beginners just use their hands when time is short. It's the same with fighting. Most people punch with just their arms because they aren't trained or have experience with fighting.

6:48 CHILD BEARING HIPS IS ABSOLUTELY WILD ☠

[@徹寛沖]

I am a resident of Hiroshima Prefecture. In this film, Godzilla's Atomic Breath has killed 30,000 people, but we will explain the actual atomic bombing. The temperature was less than 30 degrees at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, but the B29 bomber dropped the atomic bomber instantly rose to 3000 degrees. The damage situation at that time is revealed by a follow-up investigation based on the persistence that is still going on in Hiroshima City. First of all, people within a radius of 1 kilometer from the center of the explosion caused the high temperature to instantly boil the blood in the body and the blood vessels burst, causing 30,000 people to die instantly. And people within a radius of 1 kilometer on the outside were caught in a building that collapsed by the blast and were unable to move, and 30,000 people were burned to death while living by the fire. In addition, in the outer 1 kilometer radius, a person suffered for three days and three nights because he was bathed in the high-concentration radioactive rain that poured down immediately after the atomic bomb. At this moment, about 90,000 citizens lost their lives. In addition, President Truman knew that Japan would surrender without using the atomic bomb. This is genocide.

[@sydneeh571]

I did not learn about this in school, I am deeply sorry for what has happened to Japan. I recently watched The Anime Man's video where he spoke with a Hiroshima survivor, and it was heartbreaking.

[@RylanA-fm3nj]

The United States has a history of dehumanizing Asians sadly. While imperial Japan caused atrocities in China, it’s not a competition and imperial United States had it’s own agenda too. Having empathy for innocents killed in the Hiroshima and Naagasaki bombings (and Tokyo firebombings) is important to not blindly worship any person. The empower of Japan, the president of the US, hell, Winston Churchill did what’s best for the Japanese, white American and Angelo Saxon white citizens of their countries but all 3 leaders didn’t give A FUCK if you were anyone else. Recognizing the differences honestly makes wanting to befriend and understand others in life so much more enjoyable. I’m so cliche right now and drunk but just be kind. I grew up around a few idiots so I’m protecting a bit lol

There were some of Godzilla's G-Cells in his breath, she absorbed them in the blast. Thats how the ending happened. Director talked about it in an interview. And dude, the scene where he screams and it starts raining is such a good scene i cant put it into words.

[@logandarklighter]

And notice it rains BLACK? There's a quote from a fantastic 80s movie called - of course - Black Rain. It's a buddy cop movie where the two wind up in Japan. One of the cops gets killed. The other works with a Japanese detective. Then he meets with an old Yakusa boss to negotiate his way to the real bad guy - cause the Yakusa hate him too! But it takes some negotiating - the Head of the Yakusa at first is resentful and doesn't want to work with the American Cop. But the cop at that point isn't interested in being a traditional cop anymore. He wants the "neo-Yakusa" to pay for the murder of his friend. Before they reach the agreement, the Yakusa boss lets drop that he and his family were there at one of the Atomic Bombings. The relevant quote (And the name drop for the movie as a whole) goes as follows - "I was 10 when the B-29 came. My family lived underground for three days. When we came up the city was gone. Then the heat brought rain. Black rain. You made the rain black..." You can understand Why he might be just a little bit resentful of Americans. But they reach an accord anyway and he helps set up the bad guy for the Cop to take out. It's an incredible movie. And it's directed by none other than Ridley Scott! Who brought everything he'd learned about stylish City Noir from Blade Runner to the visuals for this film!!! Anyway - the black rain made me remember that movie. Look it up on IMDB.

[@eduardomartin8510]

Ruined the ending, imo. This film is a 10/10 before the ending hospital scene. An absolute 10 before that scene. I understand they need to make sequels... but that undermined almost (almost) the entire emotion and arc of the story.

[@n7sorcerer419]

So is she superhuman now? Like with regenerative powers? Or is it like a one-time save plot device and they’re used up after healing her?

[@logandarklighter]

@@n7sorcerer419 I think more likely the latter. Though I have a theory as to what they COULD do with it. If you’ve seen the 80s and 90s Heisei era of Godzilla films, you may notice a recurring character in those films. A psychic who seems like she can “talk” to Godzilla and Godzilla jr. She kind of served as an “early warning system” sometimes. They never go into much explanation except to say “she’s an ESPer” and leave it at that. (ESP and psychics were popular tropes back then and sci-fi fans understood the tropes. So… what if Noriko, or any future children she has - develop that psychic connection with this Godzilla based on slight gene altering from the G-cells? Maybe it’s a way to add that element in and provide a more solid explanation for a character like the one in the Heisei films? I’d buy it!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Right?! I feel for the poor schlep every time I watch that scene. In fact, when i first watched this scene in the theater, I couldn't help but say out loud "Somebody cut this poor guy a break, already!"

[@Goji-Moji]

Something a lot of people are likely to miss, since they’re not familiar with Japanese geography or landmarks: The tanks that were shooting at him, and what he fired the beam at, was National Diet Building, the center of the Japanese government. The imperial palace and general headquarters were both in the blast radius. Godzilla decapitated what was left of the centralized government in an instant. They say Godzilla destroyed 20,000 buildings in this scene-it was only so little because the Tokyo fire bombings had already destroyed 3/4ths of all the buildings in Tokyo already. The most intact part of the city was where Godzilla was standing, in Ginza, about 2 kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion.

This film had emotions going back and forth. Nothing like being in that dark theater......

[@Pink-Computer]

This scene had me _SHOOK_ the first time I saw it. Shin Godzilla eviscerating Tokyo was a slow burn (pun intented) but immensely damaging. Minus One's atomic breath was like a literal nuclear explosion. It flattened Ginza in an _instant_ and was genuinely horrifying to witness. The damage was undescribable, the loss of human life was immense, everything was gone in the blink of an eye. And the worst part, Minus One reveled in the destruction he caused. He went out of his way to kill as many people as he could and to destroy as much of Ginza as possible. Noriko sacrificing herself to save Shikishima was what broke me. She's been the shoulder he leaned on when he was suffering from his PTSD, she was the light at the end of the tunnel, she was his reason to push forward, and Minus One took her away in such a violent manner. It was soul crushing because we know she was what kept him grounded and losing her would make Shikishima lose himself. He was willing to fulfill his duty as a kamikaze pilot in an attempt to avenge her. I cannot express how much I cried when Noriko sacrificed herself for him, and even more so when it was revealed that she was still alive

[@bazofiki]

That’s the reason I love this movie so much, the story compels emotion and makes me care for the human characters, in a monster movie! I’ve always loved Godzilla but this movie easily became my favorite because of the story going beyond just “Godzilla destroys tokyo,” not to mention it’s message regarding nuclear warfare and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. I could go on but in summary this is probably the best Godzilla movie i’ve seen yet

If you've ever seen old films of the US atomic bomb tests in the desert, there was a fireball, then severe winds and ultimately a mushroom cloud. This Godzilla's dorsal plates pop out like a charging mechanism and when he drops his head the plates all drop down as a trigger. When he lets it go, there's a big fireball, then the high, probably radioactive wind and closes with the big boy admiring his handy work while what looks like the beginning of a mushroom cloud forming rises up. His blast is probably a very low strength compared to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs (12-15 kilotons and 20-25 kilotons respectively). I've watched this movie several times and it doesn't get old. My 4K disc version will be her on 11/21. Can't wait!

[@dartigens10]

There is just something about that charge-up - it's not just that it looks cool, it's so mechanical even though Godzilla is supposed to be a living thing - it genuinely makes me think of a machine more than a living creature. And it almost seems to emphasize that you can't actually stop it once it starts - it gets faster as it goes, like a chain reaction. (So... not a subtle metaphor at all.) The explosion itself shows some serious homework being done on the part of the effects team on how massive explosions behave. The silence too - light travels faster than sound, so with massive explosions at a distance like that, you see the blast before you hear it (there's a few videos on KZbin demonstrating that). The black rain as well - recorded as happening after the atomic bombings in Japan, from the accounts of survivors - it was the result of ash being blasted up into the atmosphere, which then became mixed into the clouds and fell as rain a few hours after the bombings (carrying even more radioactive material back down to the ground as well).

[@IamnotJohnFord]

I've seen it described as Godzilla removing the control rods from his central nervous system to let the nuclear reaction happen.

[@werbenjagerman907]

Godzilla's complete transformation from an organic and natural lifeform like we see in the beginning to the mechanical weapon of war we see after the Crossroads scene is something that really doesn't get emphasized enough imo. It's not just the charge-up that makes Godzilla feel less like a living being, it's the way he walks and acts as well. On Odo Island his animation is very fluid and natural but when we see him in Ginza he moves clunkly and mechanically, like he's not in the body he's supposed to be in. Godzilla was aggressive on Odo Island but he showed mercy to those who didn't threaten him like Koichi and only attacked when provoked. After he was nuked Godzilla killed everything that moved. You can really tell that he was transfigured and mutilated after the bomb, everyone in the movie was affected by war, including Godzilla himself. And unlike Koichi, Godzilla's war isn't over, it won't ever be until he can enact revenge on those that damaged him so severely. I remember a quote that I think encapsulates Godzilla's character in this movie perfectly, "You turned me from the last of my kind to the first, and that is why I punish you, because I never thought I could be more alone." Sorry if this all sounds like incohherent rambling, I'm writing this at 2 in the morning lmao.

[@YukonWilleh]

Fun fact. The director did the effects himself, there was no team. Its part of why they are so concise

[@werbenjagerman907]

@@YukonWilleh That's just not true, look at any behind the scenes videos and there's a team of some 30 people. The director was the VFX supervisor, he didn't animate every rig and simulate every single concussion himself.

If you think about it, Noriko really had some fast reflexes to shove him out of the way. Like it's slow down in the movie for us to see the devastation, but imagine it in real life, it's happening in a split second. she really had react on reflex/instincts before her brain could register what was going on before it was too late.

[@GalaxyYT-]

I like how the reactors knew that Noriko was gonna sacrifice herself when she pushed Koichi into the alley since they probably watched so many people sacrifice themselves in movies 💀

[@Moneylovermans]

I love how they added the black rain. It reminds you how bad atomic bombs are and that godzilla is literally radioactive Edit: also i dont get why they are saying she should have went in the ally, the speed of the debris would get her still even if she tried to go, if not her whole body, most of it would have been ripped apart

[@jenscamilo]

Many people wonder why Noriko doesn't jump into the alley with him. The whole thing was a decision in seconds and in these extreme situations people don't always react logically. It's fitting for me that Noriko saves Koichi like that. The man she loves. His survival was important to her.

Godzilla's dorsal spines are basically control rods for a nuclear reactor, right? When they raise up, the radiation builds up until it explodes out of him.

People than hate godzilla need to understand than in most of godzilla movies he is the guardian of the earth,not the defender of mankind,to godzilla we arent more than parasites.

Not enough reactors talk about Godzilla himself in this scene. Thats the part I identify with the most. The mushroom cloud rising in the sky. He roars up to it, with fists clenched. Angry at the entire world. He suffers and is in constant pain. He hates everything. Its incredibly haunting

[@jonservo]

Godzilla is what Shikishima could have become. They both spend the film enduring tremendous amounts of pain. Godzilla embraces wrath and in the end he is destroyed by it. Shikishima is saved by embracing the love of friends and family in the end, though it takes him a while to get there. This film is a masterful allegory for ptsd and trauma.

2 things 1.) We're kinda seeing this in movie speed. Noriko could have had all of one second to make that decision. 2.) This is what I was talking about. A Godzilla film where you give a shit about the human characters enough to ROOT AGAINST GODZILLA.
