Godzilla Stood on Business!! | Godzilla Minus One Reaction 

Loved everything about this movie!

23:10 The black rain scene is based on real accounts of the after-effects of the 2 atomic bombings, when ash would collect moisture in a sudden HIGHLY radioactive rainfall.

Lupa: "my body would've shut down. because of shock." 2 minutes later: "WHY WON'T YOU RUN?!?!?!"

This is Godzilla at his roots. Godzilla was originally made to show the horrors of using nuclear bombs. He was no one's ally, no one's friend. He wasn't good. Godzilla was death and destruction in natural form.

My jaw dropped at the atomic breath scene and not only because of the destruction, but because it ties greatly into protagonist's survival guilt.

The black rain that fell from the sky was not oil, but rain containing radioactive materials that fell after the atomic bomb exploded. Most Japanese people know what ``black rain'' means.

Lupa: "RUN WHY ARE WE STANDING THERE LOOKING AT HIM" Roshi: "Cuz he looks cool" 😭😭😭 22:25

Fun Fact: So the title Minus One comes from the fact that this is set right after Japan lost the world war, politically economically and socially they are at their absolute lowest they have ever been. And then Godzilla shows up. And THAT’S the Minus One, because just when they thought they couldn’t get any lower, in comes Godzilla. Also, Godzilla‘s atomic breath is inspired by how nuclear reactors work. His back plates are like cooling rods, and when they are pulled out the “reactor“ inside him starts to overheat and as he’s inhaling deeply he’s stoking the fire inside of him, then when the plates drop back in it causes the chain reaction which unleashes his breath. Just like what happened at Chernobyl.

"So why do you work out?" "I have this reoccurring dream where Godzilla picks up a subway that I'm in and I find myself dangling 300 feet in the air by a half broken pole." "Neat."

The implication is the mom survived because she was infected with Godzilla's cells, which caused her to regenerate.

Can y’all believe this won the Oscar for best VFX with a budget of 12 million dollars?

Shout out to Sheera actually recognizing that the boat was pretty much totalled after the mine exploded. Watched a lot of reactions to Minus One and pretty much no one understood why they weren't leaving. Also to be fair, it was a dingy ass boat vs. a close detonation of a mine meant to destroy war ships and Submarines.

The black rain scene was straight PAIN.

The floating fish are deep sea fish, disturbed by Godzilla that float to the top and what looks like little balloons coming out of their mouths is there innards expanded due to decompression from the depths.

12:45 lmao I can just imagine Lupa on the boat being beyond pissed cussing everyone out "TURN THE BOAT AROUND NOW BRO WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

The director confirmed that the thing on Noriko's neck at the end was Godzilla's cells, which also explains how she survived the blast since Godzilla's cells are the key to his regenerative powers

What’s really terrifying about this is that while previous versions of Godzilla only attack people when provoked, Minus One’s Big G *wants* to kill humans.

22:56 "he is _thickk_ . He's got them child bearing hips" SENT ME THROUGH A TABLE 😭😭

I'm a citizen of Hiroshima Prefecture. The temperature at 8:15 a.m. on August 15, 1945 was less than 30 degrees, but it became 3000 degrees after the atomic bomb was dropped. The situation at that time has been revealed in a follow-up survey that can be said to be the obsession of Hiroshima City. People within a radius of 1 km from the hypocenter instantly boiled blood and died instantly. People within 1 kilometer outside it were caught in a collapsed building and were stuck and burned to death while living due to the fire. In addition, in the outer 1-kilometer area, people suffered and died for three days and three nights in the radioactive rain that fell immediately after the atomic bomb. About 90,000 citizens died at this moment.

The "fuck Yeah" caption after Godzilla hit em with the atomic breath..😂😂😂

*King Kong breaks this Godzilla's jaw only to have it snap itself back together* Kong: Shiiiiiiii-(atomic blast)

The scene of Shikishima screaming with overwhelming grief and rage after Godzilla destroyed Ginza is absolutely heartbreaking. Everyone in the packed IMAX theater I saw this in was crying at that scene.

14:45 Godzilla has always had regenerative powers and is the main reason why he never really died in previous iterations lol

Godzilla Minus One by far the best Godzilla Movie ever created

12:18 Godzilla was not growing. He was already fully grown, and old enough that the Odo Island locals had legends about him. The nuclear testing during Operation Crossroads mutated him. That's how the original Godzilla was created. 15:24 And he's still nowhere near the tallest. Minus One is actually one of the smaller Godzillas at about 50 meters tall. Heisei, Monsterverse, Shin, and Ultima are all about twice as tall. Godzilla Earth is three times as tall as them. 15:44 Credit to the Takao and her gunners. Even as the entire upper section of the ship is ripped apart, fire control utterly destroyed, and the entire command staff killed, they still manage to fire a broadside point-blank into Godzilla's flank. 16:27 Burnt his skin to a crisp, and foreshadowing. 21:00 Funny thing, these tanks (Type 4 Chi-tos) were made IRL. Well, they were prototypes, only one was made and the chassis of a second was partly done. (Two completed) They were driven into a lake when the war ended. I guess they fished them out and made more after hearing about Godzilla, and due to American military support being unavailable. The Americans probably sent the materials needed to help make these tanks. 24:56 In layman's terms, it's like how deep sea divers need to stop at points so there body adjusts to the pressure. You ever watch the Meg? In the scene where Jonah drops his sub like a brick to the bottom of the sea to rescue his ex-wife and her colleagues, he gets a bloody nose from his sub dropping so fast, because of the pressure being applied to his submersible. Godzilla had to deal with similar things diving into, and ascending from, the depths 26:35 So? Monsterverse Godzilla weighs five times that. Actually, I think he's gotten heavier. 27:10 The J7W Kyushu Shinden. The only prototype that did a flight test flew the same day the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It was designed to combat American B-29s, the same planes that fire bombed Japan's cities, that's what killed Shikishima's parents, and what nearly killed Shizue in Reincarnated as a Slime. 36:15 Every tugboat in Tokyo Bay. These things were built to guide destroyers, battleships, and barges filled with ore. 38:21 Not just that. Tachibana saw Shikishima kept the pictures from his buddies on Odo Island, a picture of Noriko, and Akiko's drawing. He kept a reminder of the past, but hope for the future. [EDIT: As of a recent discovery, I found out that Shikishima was, by word of Minus One novelization, upper-class, or at least the lower rungs of the upper-class. His family had a large and beautiful house, he was an only child, and was an ensign in the navy, meaning, at his age, he had gone to high school, or even university, which most Japanese at the time couldn't afford the large amount of time needed to study for. And anything else in parentheses is an edit)

They brought back that “Godzilla” feeling, the hopelessness and despair with this movie

Wtf? The subtitles when Godzilla roars at 22:50 "Fuck yeah!" hahaha

That scene of Koichi going from rage to sadness after Godzilla's atomic breath was chilling. Igenuinely felt bad for him throughout this movie. He was struggling with survivors guilt and having dreams of his allies telling him to die. And just when things were starting to look up for him, Godzilla shows up.

This is a masterpiece. The visual effects and cgi are phenomenal, especially the atomic breath, and it's the the first time I've cared for the humans as much as the monster scenes.

To clarify, the government disguising attempts to kill Godzilla with atomic weapons as 'tests' is the lore of the American films. The Japanese Godzilla lore is that Godzillasaurus was a surviving dinosaur from the Cretaceous that grew to monstrous proportions when he was exposed to American nuclear testing.

This is when Japan outclassed all of Hollywood with this it's only 15 Million dollars and it's still fantastic movie!

23:13 NOT OIL! that is nuclear rain. After Hiroshima, the mushroom cloud had rain fall from it, but it was filled with soot and radiation. It was a death sentence. Same thing here

10:12 That's just for the MonsterVerse timeline. Most of the time, it's an unintentional consequence of the Americans testing a hydrogen bomb in Asian waters. Godzilla is usually a subterranean/subaquatic lizard or dinosaur that gets caught in the radiation of the bomb, gets irradiated, and seeks revenge on humanity.

That wasn't oil, that rain was ash, from the bodies that got vaporized, that atomic breath scene was amazing in theaters, everyone was dead silent as Godzilla charged up, and when he fired someone actually screamed from how loud it was; Kamiki Ryunosuke deserves an award for that scream alone because he just witnessed and survived a nuclear blast

21:47 Because physics is a thing. Noriko with lower weight, weaker strength and no momentum step couldn't just slam at Koichi and hoped that both would fall to that alley together. It's not that she didn't want to go in, the counterforce pushed her back.

15 mil budget and 116 mil grossed also, part of what made this work was the fact the director is a vfx artist and was part of the vfx team

This is without a doubt the most human Godzilla movie.

Man, Shikishima's scream of rage and despair at Godzilla after the atomic breath is just insane. Especially with the rain of ash.

なにがそんなに君らを笑わせるのか 理解に苦しむよ ハリウッド産のゴジラでも見てるかのようなリアクションだな〔笑止

I love this movie. Its so well done and honestly, its not surprising that the Japanese did a better job. Godzilla was, after all, a manifestation of the collective trauma the Japanese had of atomic bombs after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 23:14 thats not oil, that's "black rain"...literal radiation. After Hiroshima, the radioactive water fell down on the survivors and they were all obviously confused and desperate and didnt known what it was do they drank it and as we all know, thousands died horrible deaths of radiation poisoning. When you think about how thr actual history played out, it makes sense that the American godzilla movies portray him as a sort of protector. The atom bombs literally ended WW2 in the pacific. But for the Japanese, Godzilla is almost always an asshole. He's destructive, ruthless snd terrifying.

22:52 I love that this scene is so epic and dramatic. Then you read the subtitle here and for some reason it says...."Fuck Yeah". I'm dead...lmao

This and shin Godzilla are easily probably the scariest we’ve seen Godzilla and probably the best imo

Black rain can happen from nukes mixing the clouds with ash. Black, radiactive rain is certainly an image, isn't it? By the way, the budget for this whole damn film was 10-12 million dollars, a single episode of She-Hulk cost 25 million PER EPISODE.

So for those confused with the opening scene is that Gozilla is still small. It was only after the atomic bomb that made him bigger.

Welcome to OG xD 40:51 it was confirmed by director that is godzilla DNA, so rising theory is that this can probably be used later as origin of biolante.

Whenever a new member of a Godzilla family shows up, God throws a coin. He’ll either be destroyer and an enemy or a defender and an ally, either way destruction follows.

FYI,"The Kid" from boat crew played DRAKEN in the live action TOKYO REVENEGERS Anothe more, since Lupa is wearing a power ranger shirt, That dude also played Gokai Blue (Blue Ranger) from the Super Sentai series GOKAIGER

That atomic breath scene, you could hear a pin drama in the theater that I was watching it in afterwards. I was in shock.

23:10 Not oil Lupa, that's basically irradiated rain from the smoke of the nuclear blast going in the clouds and seeding them. It's a real thing because it happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

22:23 "I Don't care RUN" 😂😂😂

THIS is OG Godzilla vibes, not helping anyone or anything, just a mutated monster born from the irresponsible use of incredibly powerful technologies. walking destruction, for the sake of destruction. also the new spin on the atomic breath being a literal nuclear explosion as opposed to the more common sustained dragon-like fire breathing of most godzillas was an AWESOME design choice, it actually made me catch my breath when i first saw it

22:30 i love how many ppl in this movie actually acknowledge how cool godzilla is while he fuckjng them up lmao😭😭

6:53 Editor! No! Go to your room! No pizza for you! Go to your room and think about what you did! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

God that scene with the black rain was hard to watch. I remember watching a documentary about the aftermath of the bombs in Japan, from when they hit to afterward and I immediately knew what the black rain was. Also the beam that godzilla shoots I believe is called his "Atomic breath"

In case you're wondering, at 5:50 Godzilla wasn't responsible for Tokyo. That was the American Air Force.

Just a reminder that this is NOT the Legendary Godzilla, it's got his own origin, where it just so happened to have been in the explosion radius of the Castle Bravo Nuclear Test, the same test that caught the real life Japanese fishermen of the Daigo Fukuryū Maru in its fallout radius. It's spooky that this atomic blast scene killed about 35k people, Hiroshima was 70k The Black rain is what happens after an Atomic Explosion, it's basically all the cooked particles of dust coming back down as black rain and is super radioactive. and like others have said, the reason Noriko survived was Because of those Godzilla cells, though, we don't know what will happen in the future.

I don't understand why they can laugh at sad scenes.

22:51 That "F** YEAH!" caught me out of guard Godzilla getting hyped by his own atomic breath goes hard

Godzilla is kind of small.. All of us: Patience.....

I love this era of Godzilla, where we have the more neutral protector Godzilla in the Monsterverse, and the villainous terrifying ones like this one and Shin Godzilla out from Japan. WHat an era to be a Godzilla fan!

Deep sea fish swim bladder will expand and "explode" out of their mouth if they're brought up quickly

22:51 lmao the Godzilla roar with subtitles that says "fuck yeah!" Had me rolling haha 🤣 props to ue editor

この人たちのアニメのリアクションは好きだったけど今回のゴジラのリアクションにはがっかりした

I don’t know if you’ve watched the other Monsterverse movies, but I’d say they’re worth watching for reactions on the channel. They’re nowhere near as good as Godzilla Minus One but they’re all harmless fun and have pretty good fights and action.

I love how destructive this Godzilla was considering its smaller size compared to previous incarnations reminds me of the OG movies but with a focus of good human characters watching this beautiful Monster Work

This Godzilla film is the first time I was frightened of this monster. Even more than Shin Godzilla. In the past even since childhood, I used to think some old costume Godzilla movies seem funny. I wonder if this is how people in the 50s reacted when they saw the Godzilla (1954) film back in those days. Become terrified of this menacing beast making havoc.

My favorite iteration of Godzilla. Plus the acting in this is spectacular, if it wasn’t a monster oriented action movie it had the cinematography to be nominated for more than 1 Oscar

that "fuck yeah" godzilla said 💀💀💀💀

ゴジラ映画でこんなに、笑っているのは何故⁉️

that og soundtrack gave me goosebumps

22:52 this shit is funny asf W editing 😂

Sheera said Real Kaiju got curves 😂😂😂😂

Sheera you're killing me with that Titanic comment. The door only had enough buoyancy to keep one person out of the water, even if Jack could have gotten on top of the door and kept it stable the additional weight would have meant it would have ridden so low that they both would have stayed wet and both died. By staying off the door he kept Rose (mostly) dry so she survived long enough to be rescued.

そんなに笑う話か？

How good is this movie? Legit, you could take Godzilla out of it and still have a solid, period accurate movie about the Japanese people rebuilding after WWII.

The black spot on the neck is confirmed to be Godzilla’s cells, which made sense how she survived a blast that was supposed to obliterate her because she regenerated. High chance we’ll have Biollante in the Minus One’s sequel because Biollante is made up of Godzilla’s cells, human’s cells and plant’s cells

Godzilla is a territorial animal and only fights back when humans come in and attack him., but after being affected by an atomic bomb test explosion, he regarded all mankind as an existential threat and began to actively attack. This Godzilla has many connection to the first Godzilla(1954), both victims and horrors of mankind.

Noriko being alive with Godzilla's DNA (the mark on her neck) could be hinting that we could see Biollante (a genetically modified Plant/rose hybrid kaiju) on the next movie as the next Kaiju that Godzilla could face.

HahahahahahahahHhHa 23:04 child bearing hips is fucking diabolical wtfff

Don't confuse the backstory of the American Godzilla with Japan's Godzilla. Japan's Godzilla was an unknown amphibious life form mutated by atomic testing. They weren't trying to kill it. They didn't know it was there and it was the exposure to the atom bomb that turned Godzilla from an ordinary animal into the monster he is. And the deep sea fish look like that because their bodies aren't used to the lack of pressure and it makes their guts come out of their mouths if they come to the surface. It's a bit of a prelude to how they try to kill Godzilla later in the film. The black rain is not oil. After the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because of the sudden change in air temperatures it rained right after the blast. And the rain had a ton of soot in it, so it was black... and highly radioactive.

The continued love and rediscovery of Godzilla by the general public is an amazing and warming my heart!!

*THE GREATEST MONSTER MOVIE EVER MADE!!!* It rightfully became the first Godzilla film to win best visual effects at the Oscars (rightfully so). In fact the Takashi Yamazaki not only wrote and directed the film he was also the VFX supervisor. There’s a great video on RU-vid where they show how this movie was made with both practical and digital effects in the same way that Jurassic Park was made, to the point where you can’t really tell what’s real and what’s not.

22:18 I personally would have done the same thing, i would just stare at the mushroom cloud, cause even if you run you would die you cant out run that shock wave, the shock wave alone will cause instant death, and i'd rather get instant death than a slow painfull death

How could I watch this movie with such a goofy smile on my face?

The reason why she pushed him out of the way is because that was her first instinct she had given the situation. In all actuality, it was only a few seconds between the explosion and the shockwave hitting her, she really didn't have enough time to both of them

14:40 ouu, ouu...OHH, OHHHH WHAT!!??..... that had me dying 😭😭💀💀

Finally a Godzilla movie where Godzilla not a pet but a monster what he supposed to be. 😂😂

Yo wtf that baby edit of Roshi got me choking ma food out😭

This is the first Godzilla movie I've ever watched that made me care so much about the human characters and absolutely the best Godzilla movie so far. Something that Hollywood couldn't never do

ゲラゲラ笑って観るシーンじゃねーんだけど

38:05 Yeah, I was getting watery-eyed at so many different times watching this in theaters. The story is so moving and compelling, the kind of Godzilla movie (or monster movie in general) that we haven't had in a while. Easily my favorite film from last year, and my favorite film of the franchise to date.

I just recently got to see this movie and not even five minutes into the runtime did I break into laughter because it almost gave me a heart attack. One of the best films I've seen in a good while

Man, the black rain shot was somenthing else. top tier scene

I saw this movie in theatres twice, and have watched like 5 reactions to it and the movie still never got old. Such a great example of how to merge a Godzilla classic with real human characters

There’s a difference between the first Godzilla and Classic and onwards Godzilla(s). The Classic+ is an animal, typically doing his own thing and a primal force for the earth. But the *first/original* Godzilla was a monster, whose only objective is to destroy. Hence why you root for humanity for the very first Godzilla, and root for Godzilla from Classic and onwards.

Guys plz do the shin Godzilla reaction 🙏🏻

"why aren't we all running?" "cuz he looks cool" fair

"I can control Godzilla's nuts" is even more nuts XD

なんだろうね こういう映画でギャーギャー笑うってことはいわゆる情緒的な物語を感じる文化とか無いわけだよね 大爆発のエフェクトだけ一生見てればいいと思う

Went to the theaters to check it out and my mouth dropped from Godzilla’s opening scene. I wasn’t ready for how crazy he would pop off. Then again when he did his atomic breath. Awesome movie.
