There's a kamikaze pilot named Yuji Sasaki, who survived nine kamikaze missions and died at age 93. He simply dropped the bomb and returned to base rather than hitting the ship with the whole plane. Because he did hit some ships, the military couldn't just throw him to jail, and he got some friends to cover him too. His story got published at 2010s and made people realized how the military forced these kamikaze pilots to die for literally nothing.

I love how they show military veteran ptsd and panic attacks in this movie, especially in the scene where he starts to tell himself that maybe he died already.

I said this in The Normies reaction, but you can tell this Godzilla’s behavior was based on the director’s cat. It also allows you to view his actions as one of two ways. A) His destruction felt more curious and playful than anger. He gets distracted by his own explosions. Even when killing people, he feels like a cat being proud about killing a mouse. It honestly makes him more scary that he both is and isn’t aware of the carnage he’s wrought. B) He is intelligent and sentient like most other incarnations of Godzilla, and is taking his anger out on Japan for the nuke. There's a great fan-monologue about Godzilla's motivations I always loved... "I was the last of my kind, and you turned me into the first. That is why I punish you... because I never though I could be made more alone."

Takashi Yamazaki who was the director, writer, and VFX supervisor for this film was told by Steven Spielberg that not only did he love it, he saw this film in IMAX 3 times. He also confirmed that the black substance crawling up Noriko’s neck in the final shot was in fact Godzilla’s cells, implying that she was able to survive because she had mostly regenerated just like Godzilla. And she likely got those cells because the news voiceover said parts of Godzilla came off him when he was being shot at by the tanks.

Godzilla would usually be one of those franchises I would never be able to convince my dad to watch, but I got him to come to this movie with me and he absolutely loved it. Amazing film.

A couple fun facts that weren't mentioned: • The Shinden aircraft was built as a 1:1 accurate replica and anonymously donated to a Japanese WWII museum and it was only revealed that it was made by Toho for the film after Minus One released. • The fish showing up dead near when Godzilla arrives are what the professor sees and gives him the inspiration for why the pressurization & depressurization tactic is his plan for defeating Godzilla. • Sumiko initially berating Shikishima for not carrying out his duty as a kamikaze pilot sets up for her experiencing that same frustration and fear when she thinks he DOES do that at the end of the film. Even though she lost her old children and is left with Akiko, it shows that she genuinely processed her emotion and pain exactly as much as Shikishima did. • Godzilla is portrayed as a curse god (Tatarigami) where the physical and emotional trauma lashes out at everything around them, even if they're all suffering from the same pain. It's why Godzilla's wrath gets directed at the Japanese instead of the Americans the same way we see with characters like Sumiko in the aftermath of the war. That's why they salute Godzilla as he's crumbling into the ocean, as that type of entity isn't fought out of malice, but necessity. It's also why the mark on Noriko's neck at the end is the type of scar that gets passed on (like in Princess Mononoke which is also abiut Tatarigami and how that hatred & pain spreads to everything it touches). • Lastly, one of the director's original films, *_Returner_* has been a favourite of mine for years, and also has a human story in the middle of a sci-fi premise. If you enjoyed this, you might enjoy that even though it's got a different tone and is more of an action movie, the human-level focus makes his films just SO good.

Dear American Godzilla fans, I am a Japanese Godzilla fan. Japan's Godzilla series came to an end with Godzilla Final Wars, but I think it was created with new talent as Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One. The title "Minus" in Godzilla Minus One means that Japan, which had lost everything after the war, is threatened to become even more negative, but the film was released one year earlier than its original 70th anniversary in consideration of Godzilla and Kong being released in 2024. It is said that it also has meaning.

“Prove” as if the first Godzilla movie ever wasn’t exactly that.

Something about the ending where he is reunited with the women he loves. If you're wondering how she survived with such little damage, according to the director there is a black spot on her neck that you can just barely see, that spot is G-Cells aka Godzillla's cells. We see in the very end of the movie Godzilla is regenerating. So if what the director said is true then she is possibly infected with Godzilla's cells that allowed her to body to heal itself. My theory as to how she possibly got infected with Godzilla's cells, is the scene where he bites into the train car she is in with his mouth. The movie shows that the inside of his mouth is a weak spot and can be more easily damaged. So what I am thinking is when he bit into the train some of his DNA got the train and when she fell into the water and the train was dropped behind her that is when she was infected with his cells.

Don't know about her being in Godzilla's mouth, but I do recall a line of it being said that Godzilla had littered pieces of its flesh all over Tokyo.

Everybody gangsta until Godzilla makes you feel emotions

just random fact i find it interseting (and spoiler alert): Why do all people give salute when Godzilla falls? They see Godzilla as "Tatarigami," but what is Tatarigami? Tatarigami are powerful spirits that bring death, destruction, fire, famine, plague, war, and all forms of calamity. This concept was mentioned by the director, Takashi Yamazaki: "There is a concept in Japan called ‘tatarigami’ [spirits that bring calamity]. There are good gods, and there are bad gods. Godzilla is half-monster, but it’s also half-god." As far as I know, Japanese people respect both concepts of bad and good gods as part of their culture and religion. The Kyoto Gion Festival or Gion Matsuri, a festival dating back to 869, which originated as an attempt by the people of Kyoto to conduct a purification ritual and appease the gods during an epidemic. The description of Tatarigami is represented in Godzilla, and the attempt to stop Godzilla is not just an act to kill the monster, but also an act to purify and appease the spirit of calamity. That's why people give Godzilla a form of respect by saluting it, hoping that it is finally appeased and gone peacefully. Another random fact theory : This spirit of calamity cannot be killed, but only appeased, as it is part of nature. Someday, it will emerge again to bring calamities, and it symbolized by the end scene of Godzilla regeneration.

日本の八百万の神は、自然の中に多様な在り方でただ存在します。存在するだけで完璧な存在でもなく人の考える善悪にも左右されない特異な存在です。なにか刺激を与えられると覚醒して人間がいてもいなくても気ままに振舞いそして去っていくだけ。そういった神たちの中で人間世界に害を及ぼす神をタタリガミと呼びます。彼ら神たちに対して基本的に人間は何もできず、たたハリケーンのようにひたすら耐え忍ぶしかない。唯一の方法は「刺激を与えないで覚醒させないこと」「再覚醒しないように神社などで祀り、眠りが継続するように祈る事」です。こういった「人と契約もしない・指導はおろか関係しようともしない」「超越存在としてただ存在するだけ」という神の在り方がわからないと難しいでしょう。 ゴジラは戦争に伴う原爆や人命軽視の戦法等の刺激によって覚醒したタタリガミであり、戦争によってゼロになるまで破壊された日本をさらにマイナスに引きずり落すタタリガミです。それに対して「人命軽視だった戦争の手法」を見直し「プラス」を目指すというのがこの映画だと思います。

Godzilla minus one is my favorite movie. I’m afraid of many foreign people don’t understand that meaning of black rain after Noriko was blown out in Ginza. That was the black rain containing large amounts of radiation that we Japanese experienced in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Please enjoy this movie. But please remember that originally Godzilla was Anti-war films. Today is August 6th, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. We, the citizens of Hiroshima, together with the many people who visited Hiroshima for this day, spend this day in requiem. Thank you.

The two actors who played Shikishima and Doc started their acting career as a child actor and they were really really famous back then. They were like Japanese ideal sons from different generations. You know sometime being in this industry from the childhood messes up your head. So I'm really glad that their success didn't ruin them and they've got recognized by the world with this movie!

The doctor was a an underrated internationally but Ryunosuke Kamiki was already recognized outside Japan because of his Portraying as Perfect Copy of Sojiro Seta for Rurouni Kenshin Live Action and Takeru Amaya for As the Gods will, and also he is a great seiyu for Ghibli films and won the Seiyuu award for his Performance on Kimi no Nawa

I think if he was an enthusiast, he would have mentioned Takao was very special, one of the largest heavy cruisers in the Japanese fleet, which could hit Godzilla with five twin turrets of 20 cm guns, the heaviest armament of any heavy cruiser in the world at the time. This probably would have been the most powerful warship they could have used.That's why the "kid" Mizushima and the others are so excited and hopeful that it is coming. Instead of that, he just said it was a heavy cruiser that was used for target practice in the Phillipines, the kind of thing a typical KZreadr might read somewhere while they were trying to get ready for a KZread video about something they know next to nothing about (as usual). So I don't think he is a military ship enthusiast.

For me, the real breakout character in this film is Sumiko, who quickly evolves from her Karen-esque introduction into a caring-- if brusque-- friend and neighbor. Her sacrificing of her prized stash of rice to feed Akiko... followed by Noriko's deep bow of respect... is one of the movie's most moving moments.

"Live" that moment broke me

to see 5 grown men passing the box of tissues to each other... you know that's got to be a great movie!

The four members of Shinseimaru are my favorites. I'd love to see them again.

I cared about the people in G-1 more than any other Godzilla movie. A Great Film that also has Godzilla. Best ever!

@24:56 - _"What's he_ (Godzilla) _standing on?"_ He's standing on business.

The Odo Island scene caught me so off guard when I saw it in theaters! What a way to introduce this version of Godzilla!

calvin at the end just giving up and defeatedly saying 'gimmie one of those' and being given a tissue is great

Minus One refers to Japan's condition in the film. Japan's condition after war was considered as ground zero, then with Godzilla, it's minus one

5 adult men crying like little girls when watching a godzilla movie.... The same happened to me, this is how good this movie is

Godzilla is TATARIGAMI as mention Takashi Yamazaki in a interview, TATARIGAMI is a spirit (high-dimensional being) that continued to be feared even after it died a violent death as a human. There is also a theory that he is the incarnation of a heroic spirit who died during WW2. (TATARIGAMI is also depicted in Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. The black stain is common in both films.) Although TATARIGAMI is a wild spirit and is feared and shunned, if it is carefully enshrined, it can become a powerful guardian deity. They are the gods that are worshiped. How would you describe the existence between God and living things as follows? The director and CG artists spent more than six months developing Godzilla's walking style.

One of the best Godzilla films, if not *the* best. So glad this won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.

This isn't only a phenomenal Godzilla movie but a phenomenal movie in general. Usually the human characters are the weakest part of kaiju movies but this is a beautifully painful and compelling human story that happens to involve Godzilla, it's just phenomenal. Everything about this movie is amazing from start to finish but my personal highlight was me perfectly calling what the fighter plane at the end was going to be. When Noda said it's a unique one I immediately thought "What if it's that rear wing pusher prop interceptor prototype they built towards the end of the war?" and that was in fact exactly the one. Using the Shinden for the finale is perfect in every way, it not only makes sense both in and out of universe that it would be available but it offers a perfect full circle moment, most obviously with the ejection seat but also the fact that the shots of it taking off perfectly mirror the opening shots of Shikishima landing on Odo Island. It's so beautiful and perfect I barely even have the words to describe it, it made me so incredibly happy as an airplane nerd but it just worked so well. I absolutely agree that this movie should have been nominated for many more Oscars than just VFX, especially the acting is phenomenal.

One of the GREATEST MOVIES EVER... and it's a GODZILLA MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

The captain is my favorite character! The actor does such a great job delivering every single line.

And thus the trinity is complete! Legendary, Shin & Minus One

I would include og 54 Gojira in there too, maybe even replace Legendary, but yeah.

One of my favorite movies in the last decade. Minus 1 Minus Color is an even greater experience. Probably one the one of the top 4 or 5 Godzilla movies of all time. Fantastic acting performances as well.

I'm so impressed this Americans have lots of knowledge about Godzilla and they are big fun of it!

As someone who has Jaws as his favorite movie and a lifelong Godzilla fan, I absolutely adore this movie. Not only the sequence where Godzilla attacked the boats was heavily inspired by Jaws, but even his "death" felt similar to the shark since both of them had this bellow sound effect once they started to sink

The director confirmed that the black spots on Noriko's neck are Godzilla cells and they are the reason she survived the shockwave. They regenerated her vital organs, preventing her from dying.

You can tell Jake has seen it before because he starts sobbing knowing what's about to happen. Saw this movie 9 times in theaters. Each time I cried a little bit earlier knowing the emotional beats that were about to happen.

I was working at my local cinema when this film was showing and that Godzilla roar in the credits made me shit myself when I was cleaning up late at night 😂

Every ship and plane you saw in this film existed and survived the war, and all they do is change their fates a little. The destroyer they were aboard at the end was considered "lucky", as it had been through many battles and survived all of them without taking any combat damage, or losing any crew--a remarkable achievement for any Japanese naval vessel in WWII. Post-war, she was given to the Chinese Navy and served with the Nationalists there and in Taiwan until the 1970s. There was some discussion of turning her into a museum, but she was ultimately scrapped, but not before some relics were returned to Japan for preservation as a goodwill gesture.

"Dying is easy, living is harder!" But yeah, I also got spoiled by the German. I wasn't sure if he would do it until the end, but I had a hunch.

I didn't even need to understand or see the German. I figured with the way they lingered on the seat, the casual mention of ejection seats earlier in the movie and how the guy was like "one more thing" and they pulled away so we couldn't hear what was actually said made it pretty obvious he was being told the plane had an ejection seat.

I've watched all the Godzilla films multiple times since I was a kid. In the late 80's, early 90's one of the cable channels had a 3 day marathon every May. Minus One is probably one of the best Godzilla movies I've ever seen. Not just the story but the thought put into fighting Godzilla with something that was realistic for the time period.

"We'll use the power of the ocean to kill it!" About all that was missing was a guitar riff. I love this movie so much

I was literally born the day the Showa era ended. "Terror of Mechagodzilla" released in Japan on March 15, 1975. I have loved Big G my entire life. I feel a very deep connection to this franchise. I saw Godzilla 1984 in the theatre at 9yo (Thanks Mom!) and have been blessed to have seen 2000, Shin, and -One in theatres. Every American release in my lifetime. ... I remember walking out of Peter Jackson's King Kong thinking; I wish someone would do this for Godzilla. Take it back to it's roots. Make it a period piece, and treat the subject matter seriously. I'm so glad it was Toho that finally did it. It's everything I imagined it could be. It was worth the wait.

Fun fact: Takashi Yamazaki which 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

The way Godzilla waks, his arms lock, much of his body is locked as he walks, I see it as a rendition to the old movies where a guy in a suit walked with not much options to move around.

Thank yall so much for reacting to this movie, this is probably my favorite reaction ever and I was hoping and waiting for this. Go go Godzilla forever

HOLY CRAP, do I believe the Oscar hype!!!! Minus One was beautifully done and animated. I wasn't expecting Noriko to have survived, but those Godzilla cells literally saved her neck.

I'm a Japanese Godzilla fan. Your reactions and comments were really amazing and touching! In Japan, the movie title is Godzilla Minus One

Something this movie hits home better than most other Godzilla films is that Godzilla being a metaphor for war and nuclear weapons. His “atomic breath” literally making mushroom clouds was haunting

God, I'm glad they're reacting to this movie. It's a masterpiece. I'd never seen a Godzilla movie before, and this one has set an impossible standards for any others I might watch.

Fun Fact: This iteration of Godzilla is one of the shorter versions. To my knowledge, he's around 50m tall, which is the same height as the original Godzilla, and very small compared to Godzilla in the monsterverse, who's around 120m, more than double Minus 1.

This is a retelling of the original film by the original studio. Can't get better than that. This film is why we all love movies.

Apparently the director wrote a novel that supports this. I can't find a copy that has a good translation since it's written in Japanese, but I remember reading about this scene and it says something like Noriko not caring to live anymore in this scene, probably because of shock or hopelessness about what she just saw and how she narrowly escaped.

First and foremost, this movies is a love story, just with Godzilla added. It could easily have been a movie where the antagonist would be war itself. And that's why it's SO good. The recent Monsterverse movies all add a lot of characters, but I personally don't care for any of those characters, and whether they live or die. Those movies focus on being monster-movies first, and good stories second. This movie is the exact opposite, and that's why it's the best Godzilla movie ever (in my opinion - Shin Godzilla is also very good).

1:06:07 Godzilla was originally, supposedly, the 'bad guy' in the 1954 movie. It was a curse sent down by gods as a consequence and punishment for warmongers. It was less of a monster movie and more of a disaster movie. But if I'm not mistaken, the godzilla became very popular and people started to make more godzilla movies, but 'dumbed down' where godzilla became some sort of anti-hero, and it became a trend. This movie was the first and only movie to portray godzilla exactly as it was in the 1954 movie.

You could say this about Shin Godzilla as well, that's another fully antagonistic incarnation of Godzilla, basically a natural disaster caused by chemical dumping that mutated a creature into the Godzilla that appears in the film.

The orignal Japanese version of Godzilla has a strong anti-nuclear weapons message. Godzilla is essentially the punishment for the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The first Godzilla movie came out only 9 years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So the scars where still pretty fresh and nearly all the people living in Japan at the time remember it happening and living through it. In some later Godzilla movies where he was an anti-hero he was nature's punishment for polluting the planet. Other movies he was the defender of the planet.

I've already watched the movie multiple times and it was fun watching the crew's reaction but it hit me when Calvin asked Jake to hand him a tissue. He always seems to be the most thick-skinned among the members but he cried more than usual in this reaction.

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