Watching GODZILLA MINUS ONE for the FIRST TIME

[@Yepsuredid]

Last scene really made my dad cry in theaters. I have literally NEVER seen him cry before!

[@ejbalshan]

I saw this twice in Tokyo and once in the US. Caught the Minus Color version in Tokyo the second time. People literally crying in the theater. It was amazing.

[@Ultra_Fine_Point]

As a GWoT (Global War on Terrorism) veteran, I can testify that Shikishima's PTSD and Survivor's Guilt is super-realistic. Nightmares, tremors, and hallucinations are a very real thing for many returning Veterans. It takes YEARS of therapy and help to recover from War. I hate War. I hope I am never forced to kill again.

I love the touch in this movie that even Godzilla gets hurt by his atomic breath. Like it literally hurts him to unleash such power.

[@danieldickson8591]

You can see the burns around his head and face after he uses it, which have to heal before he can use his "heat ray" again. In fact his whole hide is charred from the A-bomb blast, like it the 1954 movie. Godz is probably in constant pain, which fuels his rage and hatred toward the humans who did this to him.

What I got was a touching movie about the trauma of war and people coming together through tragedy in post-WW2 Japan that also happens to have Gozilla in it.

[@danieldickson8591]

The producers scaled Godzilla smaller than the recent American Monsterverse movies, because they wanted it able to recognize and interact with humans on a more personal level. You can tell this Godzilla isn't just crushing humans as a side effect of it moving around. It's deliberately seeking them out to kill them.

The audience in the theater cheered and applauded when Noriko turned out to be alive. But the marking on her neck indicated she somehow has Godzilla DNA. It explained how she survived the nuclear blast by Godzilla. Love this movie. This and Shin Godzilla are my favorites. Godzilla finally won an Oscar for Minus One. 🎉

[@livealittle1100]

That's biolantte

[@FranciscoRodriguez-ie8cn]

I thought that too. It could be that Godzillas cells may have gotten stuck in her since the atomic breath burns Godzilla when he fires it. Since he was hit by the shockwave first, small pieces must have been pulled off of him and flew in the direction of Noriko. Just my theory.

My favorite fun fact about this movie is that when the director (Yamazaki) went to the oscars he met steven spielberg and with a rough translation he said "it was like i met god" they then talked for awhile with spielberg saying he saw minus one 3 times in theaters and he absolutey loved the film then yamazaki said that the boat scene was a homage to jaws since he loved that movie then to top it all off Yamazaki gave spielberg the minus one godzilla figure he had been carrying during the entire time

Been watching Godzilla movies for over 40 years. This is easiest the best Godzilla movie I’ve seen.

[@kh884488]

I'm so excited to see people starting to react to this. I saw it in the theater four times. I tell people who haven't seen it that it's a serious post-World War II drama about overcoming survivors guilt and recovering as a nation. And, it also happens involve Godzilla. A crazy combination but it really works in this film.

[@BobbyDGamer]

Just 10/10 best godzilla story so far for me . The storyline , his journey from self hatred to finally fighting the demon in himself by the help of the girl and akiko , i gotta admit i tear up a couple of time in this movie . Also one thing that i like is how they portray the mass weight of Godzilla , like you can see when he step on the street of Ginza it make a crater , you feel his weight which is some of us didnt see the small detail . Even Monsterverse doesnt show that kind of attention of detail . If i'm wrong please correct me but this is just my own small opinion . Also this movie got the director to win the Oscar .

[@milkiassamuel780]

This movie truly blew me away when I saw it in theatres. Undoubtedly, it is the Best Godzilla Movie I have ever seen, and it blew my mind knowing the budget of this movie was $15 million; compared to big-budget blockbusters today, that's incredibly small for such an incredibly good-looking movie. Yet, the visuals, writing, acting and cinematography are absolutely masterful. Everyone who worked on this masterpiece 100% deserved the awards it received. I love how the movie tied into the grim and horrific aftermath of WW2, plus the fallout of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Godzilla is an allegory for the consequences of tampering with nature with atomic warfare, and seeing how this film made you care for the characters and story was truly powerful.

You're the first reactors to realize it was fish with their innards (air bladder, etc) coming out of their mouth due to the reduced pressure. The Shinden fighter was a real prototype. The black rain is a real symptom of a nuclear blast, but it's speculated the growth on Noriko's neck was from Godzilla DNA.

The main character, Shikishima, is played by Ryunosuke Kamiki. He is the voice of Taki in the animated film Your Name. As a side note, Mone Kamishiraishi, who is in charge of Your Name “Mitsuha”, is playing the main character Sen in the play ``Spirited Away'' currently being performed in London. Finally, Mr. Kamiki made his debut as a voice actor at the age of 7, playing the role of the giant Bo baby in Spirited Away. Howl's disciple Markl also provided the voice in Howl's Moving Castle.

[@UltraDoug]

1. First G movie where you actually cared about the humans instead of just waiting for more monster. 2. My theory on her neck: since she would most definitely have died from that, and since the mark on her neck was moving, I think that somehow part of Godzillas regenerative power was transferred to her and that’s how she was able to survive. I guess we’ll see!

[@danieldickson8591]

The director has said that what's on her neck are Godzilla cells.

[@jediknight73]

Wow a Godzilla movie brought me to tears

[@Gojirastar5477]

There are two theories regarding the black mark on Noriko's neck. One is that it's a form of radiation burn. The second theory, which I think the director has hinted at, is that Noriko came into contact with G cells (Godzilla cells). My guess the G cells from Godzilla's skin got into one of Noriko's injuries and helped her to heal. What this means for her in the future, if Toho decides to make a sequel, may have serious implications. A little bit of Godzilla history, the concept of G cells are explored during the Heisei period of Godzilla movies (1984 to 1995). They start with the Return of Godzilla and end with Godzilla vs Destroyah. I highly recommended those movies and the original 1954 Gojira (Godzilla); the Japanese cut of the movie.

[@GratoNite]

Heisei is a must see, however Return of Goji and vs Biollante is a bit slow and worse than the rest of the series. But, from vs. King Ghidorah onwards everything's going uphill. vs. Destoroyah is just perfect.

[@NateL1992]

It's already confirmed that a sequel is being developed. The director has stated that there will be another monster in the movie. Which monster? He said its a classic Toho space monster, so it could be one of three monsters: King Ghidorah, Gigan, or Hedorah. I didn't list Mechagodzilla because it hasn't been an alien machine since the 1970s, and I didn't list Spacegodzilla because its a more recent opponent. The infection by the G-Cell is definitely setting her up for something, maybe she'll become Biollante in the future? This gives them a story to work with if she's not a monster in the next film; Godzilla fights the alien while the girl tries to figure out what's going on with herself.

For those that may not know, Godzilla has always had a healing ability. The older movies didnt have the technology we do now to properly show it, but they make it a point to mention that his regeneration is a problem. From attacking his nervous system, to electrocution and the Oxygen Destroyer, theres always a plan to try and take him down with science rather than conventional weapons.

[@danieldickson8591]

G's regenerative ability comes and goes depending on which incarnation you specify, but we've never seen him heal on screen this fast before. Reminds me of Orga from Godzilla 2000, although that monster stole his regeneration from the G-Man.

Exactly!! Black Rain and Mushroom Clouds. They didn't even mention the black shadows on the walls or the stacks of bones. The effect of WW2 on the Soul of the Japanese won't leave them. Godzilla, to them, is paying for their Sins of the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere ( "The Japanese Empire"). Horrible crimes will be met with a horrible punishment.

There were a lot of emotional scenes throughout the movie. You can understand and feel the pain, sadness, loneliness, loss, failure, fear, helplessness and hopelessness that Shkishima is going through. Btw the name of the track that plays most of the painful scene is titled "Pain". Listen to it. A very simple tune that changes tone/pitch to express all the negative emotions. I never thought I would get emotional in a Godzilla movie. It was sad and painful to watch Shikishima trying hard to pull his life together, but only to have the darkness symbolized by Godzilla to pull him back into the evil black hole. It was also tragically hard to see Akiko losing two moms in her short life.

This movie definitely deserved to get an Oscar from the visuals acting as well as the music. I especially like it when they use Godzilla's original theme.

It's destructive, call it what you wish.😎 I love that the title represents exactly what this movie is showing us. Japan had absolutely nothing after Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed… And when they finally started to get their life back together..... Godzilla comes along and now they have less than nothing. In this movie, Godzilla is the representation of the lingering effects of what happened after the atomic bombs dropped on Japan... just like in the original 1954 movie. The Director, explained that the black mark on the woman's neck is Godzilla cells ...

This explosion creates just powerful shock waves around Ginza area but actual nuclear explosion comes w/ fatal heat attack burning skins to be peeled from your body and can even turn you into human charcoal if you are close enough to the bomb dropped center. I'm glad people start learning about nucleus and knowing how Kamikaze missions effected people ,it should be from other historic sources like actual letters from Kamikaze pilots to their families before they leave to their missions. However,I feel more ''entertaining'' aspect of this film should be the intended goal , rather than serious''anti war' 'aspects. Enjoy the film

An announcer mentioned shards of Godzilla were picked up following the blast in the Ginza. I've heard that His healing factor can repair damage on humans as well . Which could lead to him being important to cures in the future. As a story mcguffin.

[@GoatLuffy_97]

This film is the best Godzilla film since the original Gojira in 1954.

[@bullpup33]

This movie should have gotten way more Oscars, but Hollywood can't celebrate nationalism and masculinity. But perhaps the biggest sin is people getting together and a problem outside of government. This movie is a gem. The omages to JP and Jaws are brilliant ❤

[@Ultra_Fine_Point]

Libertarian ideals are not welcome in Government or the Media. Try to start an independent party in your area and see JUST how badly they will come after you.

[@justinkaldahl3831]

This is the greatest Godzilla movie ever made.

[@think-mark]

Nahh in my option

[@V0ltron]

​@@think-markwhich is your favortite? You're allowed to disagree. I'm just curious, I may like that movie as well.

[@justinkaldahl3831]

I mean I grew up on the 1998, unfortunately lol, so I don’t appreciate the old ones as others do, I was born in 88, but when I saw this my jaw was on the ground.

[@Dark_Trap998]

Everyone has their own opinion, but this one won my heart replacing shin as my favorite of all time

[@Ezilla82]

This movie needs a sequel.

[@darrylhughes7797]

The director said that there's a sequel being planned. He said he wants it to be a team up. I don't know about that. But give me more OG badass Godzilla because I'm tired of the Monsterverse, frankly.

[@Ezilla82]

@@darrylhughes7797 I think having both Legendary and Toho Godzilla movies is great because we kaiju fans are eating great and heartedly.

[@danieldickson8591]

There's room in this world for both deep and serious Godzilla, and gonzo fun Godzilla.

[@darrylhughes7797]

@@Ezilla82 Except the Legendary movies are becoming increasingly ridiculous. Even the director of the last two Godzilla/Kong movies said that he wanted the next one to be more serious because of Godzilla Minus One.

[@johnrust592]

I feel this was not only a redemption story for the human characters, but a redemption story for all of Japan coming out of WWII. So much death, so many atrocities, and here they have a chance to set things right and embrace life instead of death. Such an incredibly well-done film. And it cost less than $15 million to make . . . while Hollywood spends $250 million on movies that have crap stories and crap CGI.

[@michaelnemo7629]

Love you guys but it's criminal to not have seen this in the theater. Seriously. Either version, in color or black and white, it's a different experience than on your TV. ;)

[@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!

[@chuckpatterson8895]

Great review guys. Exactly the way I felt after watching.

[@AJ9302]

You guys dropping The Fate Of the Furious tomorrow instead? I have been really enjoying your F&F reactions

[@user-xc1ry8jl2c]

I like the chemistry between you two;great stuff , keep -up the good work,kudos!!!!

[@lukmanibrahim2993]

Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki the director of this film is a big fan of Godzilla, he also featured Godzilla as cameo in "Always: Sunset on Third Street" on 2005 and he is the director of "Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monsters Ultimate Battle" which have same design for Godzilla in this film

[@yunikitadai1331]

Y'all need to know that Ryunosuke Kamiki "Shikishima" is your boy Taki from "Your Name", Kenji from "Summer Wars", and also voiced parts in very prominent Ghibli films as well. Please show him some well deserved luv!!

[@kevinnorwood8782]

The black mark on Noriko's neck is actually quite a bit more terrifying than your theory. That is actually a piece of Godzilla's DNA, officially known as a G-Cell.

[@faketohma]

Given the production budget in this film, it is 100 times better than any marvel movie which it costs exponentially more to make. Some CGI may still be necessary , but Practical effects still go along way. Japan has shown us what Hollywood has seemed to have forgotten. Sometimes grandiose isn’t about what worlds you can create with CGI. Godzilla minus one has proven it. It has heart. It’s a drama, it’s a period piece, a monster movie..The humanity displayed in this film outshines any of the films in the monster verse and makes me CARE about the human aspect.

[@stefanhuddleston6816]

There's a deeper context when Gojira uses nuclear breath for the first time. When the bombs fell on Japan they were followed by a black rain (kuroi ame), the rain was made black by picking up the particulates kicked up by the bombs. People on the ground were covered in the rain which carried these highly radioactive particulates, and because the bombs destroyed much of the infrastructure a lot of the systems carrying running water did not work so some people drank the rainwater not realizing that it was radioactive which could not be removed by boiling or other cleaning methods. This rain increased the already tragic exposure to radiation of many hibakusha (people affected by the bombs). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rain_(novel)

[@brucewaynenotbatman]

Saw this movie in theaters and it deserves some respect.

[@nathanaelhoman1808]

I haven't seen any commentary on it, but I have a theory that Godzilla represents ptsd in this movie. Starts with him abandoning his position, and continues to grow over time, causing damage, and is almost impossible to kill

[@dioncarter8513]

Nice reaction yall ✌

[@VerisimilitudeFilms1]

This is a fantastic film and a fantastic reaction. YES, Godzilla IS the bomb disguised as a monster. This movie took the intent of the original 1954 movie while using the technology and storytelling sensibilities of today. If you ever get a chance to, please watch the original 1954 Godzilla, both the original Japanese cut, and the 1956 American re-edit.

[@azurepulse1870]

The director later confirmed the blackness seen on Noriko's neck is a result of G-cells. Ya know, Godzilla's cells. In other movies and literature, Godzilla and his cells are known to have amazing regenerative abilities... as well as the ability to combine with other things to grant the healing factor and amplification of intrinsic abilities. Biollante is the combination of rose and human dna with g-cells. Super Godzilla is a result of those same cells getting sucked into a black hole and then re-emerging from the black hole as a whole new creature very like godzilla but with a whole host of new abilities and attributes. It's very strongly implied that however she came into contact with the cells (probably that drop into the water next to him from the train), the G-cells regenerative abilities are what allowed her to survive the blast and look so relatively whole and unharmed so soon in the hospital. And the regeneration of that chunk of godzilla at the end... definitely a callback to another one of the better godzilla movies in the franchise, GMK, where all that remains of godzilla is his heart sinking to the bottom of the bay... and then it starts beating again. -roll credits-

[@JamesASharp]

This is the best Godzilla film ever made. Great reaction! 👍🏿

[@harrytakeuchi]

Director Takashi Yamazaki revealed in an interview with Japanese media that the black mark on her neck is the mark of Godzilla cells that infected her, thus surviving the blast because Godzilla cells gave her super regeneration power. And yes there is a plan for a sequel.

[@mohdjuraimi8872]

Nah, your theory's wrong bro. She survived it. She got that Godzilla Regen DNA. And this is a straight forward type of film. Not multiverse crap like Hollywood' love so much.

[@user-lg3kh9yw5i]

Godzilla goes to the ocean floor. However, a new Godzilla is born. In the final hospital scene, Godzilla cells are carved into her neck on her bed. She takes the place of the dead Godzilla. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

[@Krisishere]

After countless american Godzilla universe movies with absolutely horrendous human plots, it certainly is a breath of fresh air to get a superb story through this.

[@jameskullu2413]

You can't just the hate the american ones like that, nobody just goes to see human plots in godzilla movies at the first place, Even Minus one director Takashi Yamazaki enjoys monsterverse and their human characters for what they are trying to work out for.

[@Krisishere]

@@jameskullu2413 I didn't really say anywhere that I hated the monsterverse though. I said I thought the american movies typically had subpar human plots. The biggest merit the monsterverse movies have is their diversity of monsters and stunning visuals, big thanks to hollywood budget. My point is, and I should've made that clear in the original comment, is that I enjoy the duality of the cinematic universes, one's more down to earth and human (filled with emotion and a good story), the other a fun monster-vs-monster action flick. Both enjoyable on their own merits. Though I must say I do enjoy Minus One quite a bit more than most the monsterverse flicks. I did really enjoy Kong: Skull Island for what it's worth, probably the movie I enjoyed the most from the monsterverse.

[@BabystarNoodle]

モンスターバースに限らず、全てのイベント映画はその視覚効果のショーを純粋に楽しむためのもので、人間描写にはそれほど拘らないで今までやって来ていた。そしてそれでいいと思う。クローネンバーグの『ザ・フライ』ですら主人公が蝿人間になるのをびっくりしながら楽しんでるだけで良かった。モンスター映画から教訓を期待する人は普通いないよね。でもスピルバーグの『ジョーズ』を思い出して欲しい。あの映画は主人公が海嫌いを克服する優れたストーリーを持った映画だった。

[@jrogers05]

The one thing I have to say is that I wish the little bubble where we can see you two was in one of the top corners so we could see the full subtitles. Aside from that another great reaction video 👍
