Fun fact for Chris, the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion directed this movie! So you will hear and see certain elements of Evangelion in this Godzilla movie. It is awesome too! I think that the director was using this movie to see if a live-action Evangelion movie could possibly be done with success. Kinda like a test run for the future of giant robots and monster films.

I am a hardcore nerd for this film. It's one of the best not only Godzilla films but one of the best films of the decade. This was directed by Hideaki Anno who created Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is why you hear the Evangelion Soundtrack, which funny enough the Score for this movie is by Shiro Sagisu who's worked with Hideaki Anno for years now and has done every Evangelion score. The film was inspired by the Fukushima Tsunami and nuclear disaster of 2011 and its an examination/criticism of Japan's politics and bureaucracy, specifically the ridiculous amount of red tape there is to do anything. That's why you see all the Politicians constantly playing telephone with each other and asking permission for everything, wasting time when there's a clear disaster in their midst. At the end of the film, the creatures you see on the tail are not offspring of Shin Godzilla, but the 5TH FORM of Shin Godzilla! These smaller Shin/humanoid creatures are there to attack/defend themselves against humans on a more efficient and personal level. He would evolve this way because it's an army of humans that actively attack him requiring him to evolve to be more human. It's very much a reflection to our dark nature. Chances are they would have been a pure hive mind of Shin Godzilla all acting working together to defend themselves. I believe there was an idea for the ending where Godzilla keeps evolving until he becomes this planet sized human female form with bone like wings (there's even concept art) and then basically becomes one with the universe or becomes the universe and we all are essentially extensions of Godzilla. That beautiful Song that plays when Shin Godzilla uses his atomic breath for the 1st time is called "Who Will Know". The lyrics are Godzilla's POV. It's him basically saying he's in pain due to the waste Japan and The US left behind that he ate that made him evolve, doesn't understand why he's being attacked because it's not his fault his body is the way it is (You really only see him destroy building/property on accident because of his size and clumsiness, He doesn't start killing people till Japan attacks him) and is fighting to live though he does not want to hurt anybody. That's why the music is sad. It's not sad for humanity who are the aggressors and attack him first. It's sad for Godzilla who didn't ask to be this way but due to our ignorance, meddling and aggression became this way.

I'd watch a movie based on that, if it was done by the same people, it'd be better than Cloverfield.

The final shot is Godzilla evolving again. Since he was defeated by humanity, he decided to become humanity.

So here's an explanation Throughout the movie, godzilla evolves to fight back against what can harm him. When the bombs hit his back, he fired those beams from his back to destroy the bombers. Those little humanoids on his tail were him attempting to evolve again. If humans could harm him, then that's exactly what he'll become. I believe Shin has a total of eight forms. We only get to see five of them. The implication of those little creatures is much terrifying, and then you'd think, since they'd grow roughly to the same size as godzilla and travel across the world for colonization. There's a short fan film that answers the question of what would have happened if Godzilla hadn't froze and those things escaped. Shin godzilla apocalypse scenario

The kaiju people spawning from its tail where gonna be its next evolution a new species based from him a Godzilla species. Since bit evolves and adapts to survive it adapted to humanities threat towards it by becoming its own species. This Godzilla would never stop evolving and would assimilate everything if it wasn’t stopped.

I love that when done well Godzilla can be a hero or a terrifying villain.

One of the most tragic aspects of thia movie is the fact that Godzilla is just defending itself, it was just an animal, and it became a monster so fast. When it's evolving it's also suffering, it's constantly in pain. It's just trying to survive.

Ah it never cease to amaze me, every reactors watching this version of Godzilla, "Shin Godzilla" they always flinched when they see Shin for the first time and an awestruck and fear seeing him with his Atomic breath. "If I die who will know of me".

Hideaki Anno, the director of this film and creator of Evangelion is a big Tokusatsu and Daikaijū Eiga fan. So he gets a lot of inspiration for his creations from movies like Godzilla, Gamera and the Kamen rider series and Ultraman series.

Also, godzilla movies are usually a critizsm of goverment, anti ecology sentiments etc. This one is meant to insult the goverment response after the Fukushima incident.

This Godzilla is terrifying not only because his design but also the fact he can evolve infinitely adapting to anything they throw at him

Navi - Godzilla in this movie is a CG model designed to resemble the physical suit actors of old Kaiju films. Physically its skin is evocative of the damage to nuclear burns on human bodies after Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

33:51 "Alright, so we've lost..." I've never heard a more accurate assessment of a Godzilla encounter than that. Nailed it on the first try.

Shin Godzilla did well at the box office in Japan, but its overseas box office revenue was around 210 million yen, and it wasn't even talked about. Furthermore, in Europe, where Godzilla is less familiar, the film managed to be released in Spain, but it was a disastrous film that cost only 920,000 yen.

the different forms of Godzilla have pet names. " The nicknames for Godzilla's first two land-capable forms, "Kamata-kun" and "Shinagawa-kun" (after the wards the monster rampages through, respectively), were later used in official advertising and merchandising after being popularized online through fan art." - TVTropes 17:35 Ref the music. this is the first of 3 times they used Neon Genesis Evangelion music. Easy to get permission since it was the same director.

By far my favorite Godzilla film, I'm so glad Minus One has Americans seeking out the other Toho films

as for the breath, i love how he goes from fire to literal plasma.

Anno wanted his Godzilla to be representative of the events of the Tōhoku earthquake and ensuing tsunami in 2011 and the japanese government's indecisiveness during the ensuing crisis that led to far more civilian deaths than necessary.

Fun fact: There was a massive practical puppet for Shin Godzilla on set. Almost each body party of it was remote controlled, and there’s even a short video on KZread of it movie my and working! Sadly it never made it into the final version of the film.

My favorite part of Shin Godzilla is when Misato shows up

The thing with Toho Godzilla movies is some are standalone movies and some are connected to other films. Shin Godzilla is a standalone movie.

This movie was a metaphor for the Japanese government’s failed response to the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster. It’s mocking government bureaucracy. I didn’t fully understand it until I started working in government… now when I watch it I laugh my ass off during the entire thing because of how accurate (and sad) it is

another Godzilla reaction? Guess we have to change rooms. See you in the conference hall #7 everyone.

This movie Shin Gojira is about satire Japanese political bureaucracy government, that what I like from Japanese Godzilla always about human life not only story about Godzilla itself.

It is said that Shin Godzilla represents disaster, especially Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, and that's why Godzilla just go around destroy buildings, not targetting humans like the one in Godzilla -1. Anno cast light on, encouraged, and praised those who work to support our daily lives, by giving the grate name to heavy machinery, not tanks or fighters.

Directed by Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno, music by Eva composer Shiro Sagisu, effects by Eva co-writer Shinji Higuchi. This is the first of the Shin trilogy, with Ultraman and Kamen Rider. Definitely recommend the other 2, even if you have no experience with the franchises. They are good, self contained adaptations

Now you all need to watch Shin Ultraman and Shin Masked Rider.

This film is one of the reasons why it took so long for the fourth REBUILD.OF EVANGELION film to come out

by the way, the music artist in this is the same person who did tracks for Evangelion. Bleach, and other things. I totally suggest checking out all his works, amazing music artist.

so to explain what happened at the end there it goes back to something that was mentioned earlier in the movie where the scientist said That Godzilla Could sprout wings and fly, This Godzilla, is a unique one, because it doesn't have a set final form...it will continue to evolve to suite its environment and surroundings...at the end of the movie we can see minature godzilla creatures sprouting from its tail...That's because it took a community to take out godzilla, therefore godzilla was getting ready to evolve again into an army of minature godzilla creatures

12:38 Kamata-kun's adorable little numbs for arms 🥰

This was directed by hideali anno, the same director who directed every evangelion thing. I highly recommend watching the full franchise, basically shin ultraman and shin kamen rider

You should see the follow up Shin Ultraman.

Godzilla was evolving to handle each new threat. It was defeated by a committee. Thus, it was evolving into its own committee.

Shin Godzilla is great. It’s basically a huge episode of Evangelion.

Most of the Japanese continuities (Shows, Heisiei & Millennium) keep 1954 Godzilla as the original continuity and then the Godzilla that appears afterwards is a second one.

Shin Godzilla's rate of evolution was also accelerating; in the final battle, he went from shooting multiple heat rays from his back fins to shooting just the one from his tail, so that he WOULDN'T wear himself out in a fight too quickly. Two focused heat rays with one of them having full 360 range is more effective than firing blindly without looking and hoping you hit your target, a la the dorsal fin heat rays.

You should watch Godzilla final wars at some point, mostly because the contrast between this and minus one vs "big lizard fights other monsters" is part of what makes Godzilla such a fun franchise

I would honestly like to see them react to GMK (Godzilla mothra king ghidorah giant monsters all out attack) or final wars

The last battle is literally like the battle vs Ramiel in Evangelion 1.0

Marketa, Chris, Spidey - Hideaki Anno who did Eva directed this movie. He uses music from his old projects in new ones quite frequently and Shiro Sagisu returns from Eva to compose for this film. A lot of the military vehicle open landscape shots and shots of Godzilla are evocative of Eva’s establishing shots and angel scenes. Kayoko and Hiromi are very much Asuka and Rei type characters and the task force evokes Nerv’s bridge team.

Explanation for the end: Godzilla adapts to whatever hurts him. Hence his back beams to stop the bombs, those humanoids was Godzillas adaptation. Put simply, humans killed Godzilla in a sense so Godzilla became human like

34:51 ok but there is a series called Shinkalion (a parallel universe to Evangelion) where this was believed to be true, and Godzilla was a fictional character created in 1954, just like our world. AND THEN HE SHOWED UP ANYWAY. All of a sudden, despite our fictional movies, comics, etc, Godzilla is just real with no explanation given. The MCs were horrified and they got curbstomped quite easily.

Godzilla Minus One was originally going to be Shin Godzilla 2 but after a while directors decided to make Minus One its own standalone film. Also while I don’t speak or read Japanese fluently I believe the Japanese word “Shin” can mean things like “True”, “New” or “God”. Really putting the “God” in “Godzilla” in this movie.

Fun fact: The crane trucks were actually used in Fukushima in an attempt to cool down the nuclear reactor -- which, as you all know, failed. Many of the scenes in this movie look like they were taken from actual news footage of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (2011), which caused the nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima. The government's response to Godzilla is, in Japanese eyes, an obvious caricature of the action/inaction of the political systems at the time.

The ending shows how Godzilla becoming the creatures that were trying to destroy him

👏🏻👍 Like all of Hideaki's works, it is a great metaphor. In this case of the Fukushima accident. and the possibility of evacuating Tokyo was debated and a criticism of Japan's extreme bureaucracy,

Shin Godzilla is basically suffering personified, a being that lives in constant pain and wants to end its existence but can't. To sum it up, Shin Godzilla is a mind that wants to die with a body that fights to survive.

Here’s the differences between Legendary, Shin, & Minus One Godzillas… - Legendary is basically a god of nature with a WICKED sadistic streak and looks to protect the planet (NOT humans) - Shin is a mutated creature that is in excruciating pain due to its constant evolution, and does not want to die, but also wants to be put out of its misery - Minus One’s personality is based on a cat, with his motivations being revenge on humanity from mutating him with the Atomic Bomb. “I was the last of my kind, and you turned me into the first. That is why I punish you. Because I never thought I could be made more alone” The one thing every incarnation of Godzilla has in common (besides the 98 one) is that they are unstoppable. They can never be hurt by conventional means. Hell it’s confirmed he can nearly kill Superman!

The music during that atomic breath scene is sad and haunting

In regards to the tail. If committies can beat Godzilla, Godzillawill become a commity

If y’all wanna see more of an evolving shin Godzilla ya gotta watch. This animations of hakaishin Godzilla the fights and his evolved designs go hard✨👍

Godzilla Minus One is NOT a prequel to Shin Godzilla and doesn't give prequel vibes either. Don't say wrong information.

Hey there Normies, let me give you a situation. If a giant Kajiu attacks and you tell the military to attack even though civilians are around. Whether those civilians survive or not, even if the Kaiju gets killed. The journalist/news reporter, they will take your words and use it against you especially if your the Prime Minister or any form of a head figure of authority. As much grief and criticism I can give to the PM in this movie. I can't be mad at him cause he's trying his best in an unprecedented crisis without making himself the bad guy. Although in the end it will still be a lose-lose situation for him and the amount of slander he will get would be enough to destroyed his career even when Godzilla gets killed.

Depending, Godzilla be a violent savior. A demon, a devil, or just straight up the G.O.W.

In fairness to the PM with ordering the helicopters to abort the attack, he was only told "Civilians are in the line of fire", not how *many* civilians there were. And I actually cut the government a lot of slack during Godzilla's first appearance on land - they'd have contingency plans in place for, say, China or North Korea trying to invade them. But how many countries would actively plan for a marine creature coming onto land, being taller than most apartment buildings, and wreaking havoc in a downtown area?

46:07 Spidey fighting his own battle right there😂😂😂

The original plot is it made it's own universe inside of it after it enveloped the world in biomass and spread

The American Monsterverse Godzilla is like a juicy hamburger while the recent Japanese Toho Godzilla is like a gourmet steak - both are “delicious” depending on your mood. Godzilla Minus One (2023) dealt with post-WWII “survivor guilt” with a compelling human story. Shin Godzilla (2016) highlighted the bureaucratic failures in dealing with the triple disasters (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor meltdown) in 2011.

@@chanhw As much as I love these offerings, I still adore the first MechaGodzilla movie. My cousin, who got me into Godzilla when we were kids and shares my opinions, his favorite is still the Mecha King Ghidorah movie. On another note, having seen 36/38, I was wondering if you knew where I can find a way to watch Biolante and '84...

i had the same reaction on my first watch when i hear that nge song , i was so excited

In the godzilla fandom each Godzilla has his own name. This one is called SHIN. He is the most unique, since unlike all the other Godzilla's he's not a biological creature that was mutated, he's a fully man made monster. Based on the movie context it's generally believed that dr. Maki either created, or turned himself into Shin. Also as with all Godzilla movies, this one criticizes the poor decision making of the Japanese government and its poor response time to disasters. During the Fukushima disaster, the government responded poorly and with high delays, so the damage was much worse than it could've been.

So this is a unique take on Godzilla because this Godzilla is in constant pain and evolves to try to adapt to what's hurting it. The last shot with the human like organisms coming out of it's tail was him evolving to defend against humans, which it viewed as a threat. In theory, this is the most powerful version of Godzilla because it can adapt to nearly anything and the only way to stop it is to cool it down, which is what it wants anyway. The atomic breath it shoots out isn't even intentional, he's expelling the radiation that's building up in its body, the same way we expel liquids when we pee. Even the music that plays is meant to represent Godzilla's pain and suffering.

15:33 The point of always informing the woman first and then the prime minister is because each one is responsible for an area, so only as a matter of law should the information be passed on to the right ministers.

I think Ultraman needs the same amount of attention as Godzilla nowadays.

Shin Godzilla has the same composer as Eva Shirou Sagisu he also made the soundtrack for Bleach.

I think the creatures on his tail are part the next evolution because they said earlier he was in his forth form... The fifth was humanoid size to kill single people and not just the city. I think I had read that the other forms would be one where he has wings leaves earth. Then eventually goes on to a pure energy form. After that he destroys the universe....I think the info is Shin godzilla book from Toho.

Can we recommend you to watch Shin Kamen Rider, directed by the same man who did Shin Godzilla and creator of Evangelion

While Godzilla minus one was amazing, this is still best Godzilla for me

What they didn’t tell us is that this was just an average day in Monster Hunter lol 😂

Not for nothin but I'm writing and gonna cast Chris, Spidey, Pat and Navi as the human scientist/heroes in my amateur Godzilla movie.

4:38 Do you root for characters because people tell you to? Just decide for yourself when you watch.

Arguably the strongest Goji because it won't stop evolving. It's mentioned it will grow wings at some point.

After a few viewings of this movie, I have come to a theory regarding Godzilla's origins. It seems no one thinks about the beginning before Godzilla is shown. The boat that the scientist, Dr. Goro-Maki, owned is found abandoned right where Godzilla becomes its first evolution. Does this mean anything? Perhaps, did Dr. Goro-Maki commit suicide for the turmoil Japan put his wife through? And if so, what happened to him? We don't ever really get any information as to where he was and if indeed he did throw himself off the boat. My theory is that he might not have even committed suicide. Maybe he dived overboard and swam down into the bay and possibly the radiation contained in that area made him merge with fish and other sealife which became the start of Godzilla...? Going over the movie quite a few times, I have never heard any explanation as to why the boat was abandoned and where the scientist is. It's implied that he committed suicide. But I have been thinking that Maki began Godzilla's birth. Willingly, or accidentally? I'm not sure. But that is my thoughts.

Highly recommend - The Gamera Heisei Trilogy - it’s top shelf Kaiju movie
