The film is called Minus One because post World War II left Japan in ruins. They had to start all over again from ground Zero to rebuild. Then Godzilla shows up and wrecks even more havoc. Sending them from Zero to Minus One!! -OG

At the end of the movie, I loved the way all three of you leaned to try to see around Koichi's shoulder to see if it was Noriko. 😊

I love the foreshadowing in this film. The dead radiated deep sea fish rising to the surface too fast that their stomachs explode out of their mouths due to the rapid pressure changes. They attempt to do the same thing to Godzilla by using the force of nature against him where tanks and battleships seemingly fail. But Godzilla is also a force of nature. Born of nuclear energy. He is the unknown element. -OG

This was such a good movie, you get so invested in the characters that almost forget Godzilla is in it.

I have seen Godzilla Minus One five times, including the Minus Color re-release edition. It is the first Godzilla film to win the Oscar for VFX and the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla release.

i cant describe the feeling i had when i watched this movie, it was the same feeling I had when I watched the batman movie the dark knight 10 years ago, before the movie I was like superheroes were goofy/nerds and after it changed my whole perspective, it's really nice seeing people taking risk on the genre and try to create something new and unique

This Godzilla movie is the best one ever! it evokes so many tears 💦; sad tears😭; happy tears😂; tears of joy😹 Koichi Shikishima - a true hero's journey!

As much as I enjoy seeing all these reactions pop up, y'all really did miss out on seeing this in theaters. The sound design with the theater quality audio was perfection

The first time actually seeing the effect of Godzilla's atomic breath in Ginza was unlike anything I'd ever seen, especially in the cinema. It's amazing that a movie with about a 12 million dollar budget won the Academy award for Best Visual Effects.

Fun and not so fun Facts: Fun: To help off set production costs, the Shinden plane replica was donated to the Tachiarai Peace Memorial Museum after filming. The museum agreed to fund the building of the replica. Only two prototypes of the actual plane were ever built, as a response to the B-29 bombers, and the only surviving one is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Not so fun: The black rain was radioactive ash being kicked up into the clouds and rained back down.

The entire _Boat Chase Sequence_ is EPIC!!!

I think Sumiko was like that at the start more because she lost 3 children in the war and needed to blame someone rather than the dishonor of it.

The healing power is reason why he didn't get killed from the atomic bomb. Instead he absorbed the radiation which turned him huge with the atomic breath. Also, he wasn't standing on the ocean, he was floating, those big ass thighs, tummy, and tail were able to support him floating upright, kind of like the icebergs. Great reaction guys!

このリアクター層は初めてじゃないかな？家族でしかも大人の女性陣！とても新鮮でした。そして最後までクレジット流したリアクターも初。話に夢中で全然見てないけど(^_^;)でもすごいなー海外のリアクターは誰もケチつけてない。誰も！ゴジマイすごすぎる。

In a recent interview with director Takashi Yamazaki, he was asked if Godzilla Minus One (2023) cost $15 million to make. Takashi replied that he wished the budget was that high (although he declined to reveal the exact number). Given Shin Godzilla (2016) cost $8.3 million in the 2010s, I suspect Takashi was given a budget of $10 million but he ran slightly over - hence an estimate of under $12 million.

Noriko might have been infected with G-cells (black mark on her neck) and survived the blast because of its regenerative power.

70 year old Godzilla Score Music

the last translation was wrong. She didn't say "Can this war of yours finally be done?" but "Is your war finally done?". She did ask him if he's okay now but this translation seems like she's annoyed of his trauma and asked him to stop it already.

This was made for 1/16 of the budget of Legendary's Godzilla. WON AN ACADEMY AWARD.

The mark on her neck at the hospital is a Godzilla cell. It's probably why she survived the blast. It helped to heal her. But to what end? Will she mutate? Are there other victims who similarly contracted the Godzilla cell? I've also heard that the tattoo on her neck is a symbol for Mothra. Perhaps Mothra will be featured in the next movie?? -OG

The T Rex godzilla was before he experienced the Bikini Atoll nuclear bomb testing, he then mutated into his massive form.

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

Saw it in the theatres in December and January. Own the 4K DVD from Japan...Yeah...I am a fan...

PS: Oh yeah! I once told the guys over at "Blind Wave" about the "Atomic Breath" that they were calling a "Heat Ray" back when it was the guy in a rubber suit using a fire extinguisher and then along comes this movie that seemingly validates their terminalogy! 😁 I want to thank you for using the older term! THANK YOU! 🎉😊

He did not sign up for the war or to be a pilot. Like US back in WW2, they were all drafted.

It's rare to find a moving story in a monster movie. The American monsterverse Godzilla films try to incorporate the human element in a moving way. By comparison to this film, they fail miserably. This is the best monster film to incorporate the human element. Or is it the other way around? A good human story that incorporates the monster element. At any rate, this was a touching film about redemption. It highlighted PTSD. An anti-war film of civilians coming together as one without the aid of the government. It was a story of loss and love. An empty heart and then a full heart. A story of family unrelated by blood. Can't wait for part 2! -OG

Amazing that Godzilla Minus One (2023) was made for under $12 million - just 1/13 of the budget of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024). Godzilla Minus One won 8 Japanese Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and 1 US Academy Award (for Best Visual Effects). Suggestion. Watch Shin Godzilla (2016). The movie highlighted the (government’s) bureaucratic failures in dealing with the triple disasters (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor meltdown) in 2011. Shin Godzilla won 7 Japanese Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director). 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.

The title “Minus One” is because the Japanese were feeling at zero after the atomic bombs and aftermath, then Godzilla took them -1

Thank you.Really.Thank you.

Godzilla has ALWAYS been able to heal like that. This might be the first time they SHOW it like the Wolverine healing factor. But he's always been able to heal rapidly. -OG

Was expecting grandma there to say "back in my day godzilla was just a guy in a suit!"

The other reason the mechanic Tachibana was happy and relieved was that he spent years of the war repairing planes to send pilots off to die, and now he was finally able to use his skills to save a life, not take one.

Man, the dudes acting even made me tear up especially that hospital scene in the end.

Glad to see more people jumping onto the Godzilla Pain Train.

The Best Godzilla movie. Goodnight ladies 👊🏻

People other than Japanese who saw this movie were probably surprised, right? Why does a Godzilla movie, which is supposed to be a fun monster movie, make me cry? and. In fact, the Japanese original Godzilla has had many variations over its 70-year history, and some of them even have plots similar to those in the Monsterverse. Recommended ones are Godzilla (1954), King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), and Godzilla Final Wars. , Mechagodzilla vs. Godzilla, etc., I think are very interesting.

I thought -1 was named because it takes place earlier than the OG movie did...not a prequel per se, but all the other movies, 1954 on, go forward in time. G-1 starts in 1945. Bikini atoll nuclear tests are always referenced ("Bikini Atoll, a small coral reef in the Pacific Ocean, was the site of a series of nuclear tests conducted by the United States between 1946 and 1958. The tests were part of the US nuclear testing program, which aimed to develop and test nuclear weapons.") and instead of mutating an iguana or the like, Godzilla of -1 is already a kaiju beforehand, albeit a minor, isolated legend until mutated from nuclear fire. Pushing it back in time was pretty brilliant, the period piece aspect was vital to this story

His regenerative abilities is how he survived the nuclear explosion.

Kamiki-san and Hamabe-chan Chemistry was on Different Level Indeed 🔥 Real Man Cried on that Final Scene 💪

Opening scene is of Japans venerable Zero fighter plane. Landing on the fictional Odo island, home of the Japanese Monster "Gojira". The premise of the movie is the survivors of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing of March 10th, 1945". Mankind's worst, more casualties & lost in history to the Hiroshima Bomb. A new "Yankee Weapon" to the tune of 300 long range B29 Bombers & new Incendiary bomb; Napalm. Developed to rain fire on the civilians of Tokyo. "Tokyo's Black Market" scenes with it's vendors, prostitutes & hustlers, that introduced Noriko & Akiko to Koichi is brilliant. The date March 1946, it's raining, marking the 1 year anniversary of the "Tokyo Fire Bombing". Ironically Koichi is drenched in rain water and not fire. As he shares good news of finding steady work. Another date is the sinking of the "Takao". It's sudden bombing of Godzilla is ironic, as the "Takao" was involved in the surprise attack of Pearl Harbor. On March 10th, 2024 Takashi Yamazaki & crew is awarded the Oscar in Hollywood California. Takashi Yazaki tells a great Japanese post WWII story using the great Japanese fictional monster "Gojira", that the world wouldn't be interested in anyway. Harley Davidson, Koichi's "Black Market" Motorcycle, and the Japanese Imperial Army was a surprise discovery. As well as many others, which are factual. The last line, Noriko looks to the side of the camera, saying "Is your war.....now finally over?" I read that in Japan after the movie, people applauded.

Hmm the subtitles look odd on this one too, guessing the netflix version?

Good reaction yall ✌

I love Godzilla movies

Woah Love the new intro Hadn’t seen before Nice job

By far the best Godzilla movie I've ever seen!

Now watch Godzilla’s Revenge to see the other side 😢

Loved the reaction, such a great movie!

I've seen a number of these reactions and they all comment on how in the opening scene where Godzilla attacks the group on Odo island how he picks up the men and flings them rather than eating them. Toho has a strict rule whereby Godzilla must never be shown eating humans. This goes for the American versions as well. So in this scene, that is why he flings them.

Tachibana (the Mechanic) was also living with his guilt I guess. His mission in the war was to fix planes for kamikaze pilots, meaning that they fix planes so the boys could kill themselves ‘successfully’. He must have sent many boys to the sky just to kill themselves. By telling Koichi to live, he also had to end his war. Kamikaze pilots were often unexperienced young men, very often minors. We can assume that Koichi at 1945 was 18-19 years old at most. it makes the story even more tragic. he might have signed up for it, but there was actually no choice. Japan at the wartime was like a huge cult, and people were brainwashed. it must be a huge struggle to get out of it after the war.

Godzilla has always had the ability to heal, ever since the older movies. But back then they didn't have the CGI to properly portray it.

Great reaction ❤

this is way off topic, this movie is lovely, but I love your Demona figure in the background

It’s been a while since I’ve watched your channel. Glad I came back.

Your intro is amazing, definitely made me a fan from the start 😤🔥

おばあちゃん可愛い

Best film of 2023!

One can only imagine how the ground, buildings, and all, feels to Godzilla. Just imagine if you're walking barefoot on a floor covered in Legos. Yeesh. Lol!

If you are interested in Kamikaze Attack after watching this movie, I recommend the work "Eternal Zero" directed by Takashi Yamazaki. It is the story of the main character who resisted the Kamikaze attack until the end. It's not a true story, but it seems that there was a similar person.

score is original from 1959 Godzilla in Black and White makes the movie amazing Spielberg has watched it 3 times

She might be biollante in the next one

This is an anti-war movie. Godzilla is the result of mankind's atomic war experiments from the deep ocean. He's the revenge to mankind's war. But the timing is awful. The war has ended. Japan is already defeated. Godzilla only amplifies the destruction. -OG

This one has the best human interest story of all the Godzilla movies, IMO. We get a modern examination of the Kamikaze mindset through the life journey of two men and their evolving viewpoint (pilot Koichi Shikishima & mechanic Sosaku Tachibana). Noriko was infected with Godzilla Cells [G-cells] (the black mark on her neck) which gave her his regenerative power. *SOME FYI:* - Godzilla has an internal controllable air bladder for buoyancy that makes him "appear to stand on water" when fully used. - Godzilla is a prehistoric monster awakened, mutated, and empowered by nuclear radiation. Godzilla is a symbol of the devastating consequences of nuclear war. He is a force of nature with atomic breath. He always had remarkable regenerative powers. - There are several incarnations of Godzilla and this one reflects the original. I prefer Godzilla like this - his original concept (a force of nature) over some other incarnations in other movies (an Anti-Hero or even a "protective buddy" to humanity).

この作品の良さは、人間ドラマを中心にしているからですよ。共感したくなるから。ただのモンスター映画じゃない。

Kimさんがジュラシックパーク着てたのは意図的ですか？ 最高な選択です。 オマージュシーンが幾つかありましたね。

If a sequel to Godzilla Minus One is made, please watch it and post a video with your thoughts about it.

Love the Luke Skywalker helmet in the background. Shikishima was like Luke

5,255 Views + Mine? (Including min) 🤔😎 Thumb Up #381! 🖖 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: I missed something during my absence because I don't know why your channel has a new name. 🤷‍♂️. I love the new set! ❤ "28 Days Later" is the zombie movie, right? 🤔 "28 Days" is the movie that has Sandra Bullock's trading in her illegal drug addiction for an addiction to cigarettes, right? 🤔 The mystery fish! My guess is that Godzilla was chasing his typical prey, and the fish killed themselves as they swam beyond their margin of safety. In the beginning he found the island and was probably curious, when the searchlight startled him! The "Godzilla × Kong" movie and now this movie, both have directors who were inspired by their cats when directing the creature movements! 😼😹 The named warships of various types and classes, were based on the real ones! Ditto the aircraft! ("Wikipedia" software believes in "sentence fragments" and doesn't approve of them having periods. So I've gotten used to exclamation points which are accepted by that software and this software. I'm not that excited.) I haven't seen every "Toho" monster movie, but of the ones that I have seen, this is my new favorite! I wasn't aware of it really existing until it was on "Netflix" though. The stuff on her skin was a part of him, and it embedded in her enough to help her regeneration healing. Also, apparently that was Godzilla's heart regenerating, not his brain. Hmm. 🤔

Japanese People : "Long Live The King." Godzilla : "Weeeeeee!!!!!!"

you guys have to watch the latest MonsterVerse movie as well,Godzilla X Kong-The New Empire! And I would LOVE to see you react to Monarch-Legacy of Monsters,it wasn't everyone's cup of tea,but I'm pretty confident you'll enjoy it a lot!

3.00 I don't think Godzilla eat humans. It feeds radiation. 🤷🏽‍♂️

the reporters on the roof is exactly the same scene that was in the original 1954 Godzilla. The actor playing the lead reporter is actyally the grandson of the actor who played the exact same part in 1954.

Fifteen million dollars, thats all they spent on this. That's less than Disney spends on catering for most non-animation projects.

ガジーラ‼️

Please react to shin godzilla

Praise My True Lord and Savior Gojira 🙌🐲

it only gets more impressive when you learn it costed less than 1/10 what hollywood movies do to make...$15m budget(or maybe less)

❤

Stella!.....✌️❤️❤️!.

Sorry for what i will say Its awesome you have your mom with you. It's something i can't do anymore My mom died 7-15-2015 she was 72 I am 59 now. My wife died January 20 2017. She was only 47 24 and a half years married. A single dad, a kid of 11 abd her older sister in her 20s I had to sign a DNR..every time she crashed, bring her back was causing massive damage inside. Me , my oldest and my 2 nieces stood ready for a long night. I was standing at her side. Watching the monitors.. she was already gone. She was only at 62 % 02 At 9:30pm i heard my mom. Let her go Len, i am here waiting with Margret ( my moms sister who died 2 days after we were married , July 10th 1992 we were married. Aunti waited to pass on july 14 1992? Then at 9:35pm she crashed again. They rushed in and started pumping drugs into her. No CPR My mom said. Its time , let her go Len we are here. I told them to stop, let her go.. A very odd calm settled in. We stayed for a while. Cherish these moments... With your mom and each other

Best one ever! Not your typical Godzilla movie. Really surprised me. How does one get infected with G-cells? How did that happen to Noriko in the first place?

He can stand in the ocean because he has a large enough tail to hold himself up. Much like those Olympic swimming pool water dancers

:v

Im sorry but I couldn’t watch your reaction because the sound is terrible

The injection seat was built with the plane. It was a german plane!

35:54 Mark! Ladies, hi! 🖖 This posted comment is for the benefit of any comparing the movie budgets as people have done at other channels. Ahem. Quote - How much is 1$ US in yen? 157.4350693 JPY 1 USD = 157.4350693 JPY Jun 15, 2024 05:09 UTC The currency converter below is easy to use, and the currency rates are updated frequently.

gota comment, he was a kamikaze pilot--- he was not a coward, he was a brave man who had a moment of sanity. THe movie was about a society that had traded away peoples; lives cheaply realizing they had to fight not to the death, but to fight to live.
