The lore behind this specific iteration of Godzilla is so cool. I wish they would continue this story. An interesting note of Shin Godzilla, apparently it is in constant agonizing pain and is one of the reasons he’s constantly evolving but his evolution is also contributing to the pain. The inspiration also came from the 2011 triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, nuclear reactor meltdown) and how bureaucracy and red tape slowed down the response.

Monsterverse Godzilla: "Earth has an immune system, and this is it." Shin Godzilla: "Earth has a malignant tumour, growing out of control, and this is it." Also let's put Evangelion's soundtrack on it because it's an absolute work of art, I guess. Valid.

One of the best and also one of the darkest Godzilla movies ever made! There were talks of a Sequel, but it was cancelled, possibly due to creative difficulties. However, Godzilla Minus One was released, it received universal praise and won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, making it the first Godzilla film to win an Oscar.

The prevailing theory about the Tail is that godzilla evolves to overcome whatever is the challenge. So, since humanity was defeating it as a solo creature. It was adapting human traits and spreading out. So they stopped it just before it reproduced an army of humanoid godzillas that could each individually adapt and conquer.

The last shot is basically showing in his final moments, Godzilla was trying one last time to evolve into something more humanoid, to escape the freezing process.

The final shot is one of the most haunting things I've seen in a non-horror film, ever.

Our first ToHo Godzilla movie in 12 years after final wars and it's absolutely amazing. Especially since it's from the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion that's even more amazing

This movie has one of my favorite things in it - people discussing how to solve a problem. Humanity at it's best.

The theory is, is that Goro Maki fused with Godzilla. A very specific scene leads credence to this theory as Yaguchi asks where Maki was now, and immediatly cuts to Godzillas' tail mouth opening. Thats where Maki ended up being grafted to Godzillas body. The reason Godzilla kept going to Tokyo was Maki's own hate towards the country influencing the creature. But he gave Japan a way out if they were smart enough to follow his clues, and ultimately develop a way to mitigate nuclear materials which was his wish all along.

Shin Godzilla is unique is that he's basically an extremely mutated fish or marine lifeform as opposed to the usual dinosaur or ancient reptilian creature. He's also an extremely tragic monster since because of his mutation he's in a constant state of immense pain that he can't do anything about due to his body constantly mutating and evolving to keep itself alive. The destruction he causes, which he's not even conscious off, is pretty much a byproduct of him moving forward following his instincts and doing anything to alleviate his pain, him firing the atomic beams for the first time being such a case, which you can sort of half tell due to it starting as vomit before expelling beams. The song that plays during that scene "Who will know" is basically expressing Shin's perspective.

I love how this movie was a new take on Godzilla! In the original it was supposed to represent the power of the atom bomb. Here he represents the power of natural disasters

Shin Godzilla is so a lost episode from Evangelion, the shots, bgms, story...

This movie was amazing. All the destruction shots are really reminiscent of natural disasters, like the tsunami or hearth quakes from a few years ago. In a way the more surreal yet grounded take on the king of monsters so far. Minus one is an entire different beast and is now my favorite, Shin comes second ;)

My second fave G-film. He was definitely the most terrifying design for him. The whole thing was a not-so-subtle knock of the excessive bureaucracy hindering disaster response in Japan (especially the Fukishima disaster), and how their hands have been tied since WW2 regarding the use of military power. My take on the "googly eyes" is that it began as a deep sea creature so when it rose from the depth and there was less atmospheric pressure, the eyes bulged out. The figures in his tail was the next evolution, miniature versions of himself to scatter and colonize.

Hideaki Anno is a freaking GENIUS

Shin Godzilla was supposedly originally a frilled shark. Frilled sharks go back around 80 million years. The humanoid things coming out of his tail were what they were talking about with him mutating into smaller forms so that they could spread across the world more easily. He was beginning to mutate like that when they stopped him.

Like the original was made as a commentary on ww2, from what I remeber this was made in response to the 2011 Fukushima explosion and the following earthquakes and Japan's major screw ups with the amount of tape they needed to do literally anything, making rescue as difficult as possible and losing people that could have been saved.

Anno explains that final shot as "It took a committee to defeat Godzilla, so Godzilla will become a committee" They should let him continue this story.. if not in live action, they should let him make a follow up in anime. The song that plays when Godzilla first uses his breath... if you listen to the lyrics, it's from his perspective.. and he's in constant pain & fear.

One of the things I love about the different forms Godzilla takes is that, with all the size changes it goes through, the eyes remain the same size.

The final cut of Godzilla's tail represents Godzilla's fifth form. The fifth form is the size of a human and reproduces asexually by itself. It is also officially set to fly and wipe out the human race from the earth. Shin Godzilla is a metaphor for the nuclear accident caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. Although it has not been talked about, Japan will have to deal with nuclear accidents for the next several hundred years, just like Chernobyl. It is on the verge, just as Godzilla's fifth form was stopped just short of flight this time.

You should have watch Godzilla minus one, Yamazaki win Oscar for that and the Budget was only 15 million

01:04:42 - The humanoid figures at Godzilla's tail is Godzilla's next evolution. It was a defense mechanism as the creature knew it was being attacked by smaller creatures - humans - and was in the process of splitting into thousands of human-sized creatures to survive. They froze Godzilla just in time before those humanoid Godzillas could escape. A more ambitious and expensive version of this film actually had a third act where Godzilla would sprout wings, fly and eventually transform into a spiritual being in the style of AKIRA. Also, as I'm sure it's been pointed out before, SHIN GODZILLA is a direct response to the literal and figurative fallout of the 2011 Japanese Earthquake, Tsunami and eventual Fukushima Nuclear Plant. It's not even subtle, all of the red tape bureaucracy satire, the destruction imagery, the radiation fallout issues, the narrative about experts being prevented from doing their jobs by the government or by fear of damage to their reputation, even the finale where the protagonist talks about some of the team not surviving but asking them to do their duty anyways for the sake of the world -- all of this is direct commentary on real events that either happened or should have happened and was stopped by incompetency, ego, politics and government impropriety. As pointed out in the latest Accented Cinema video essay, American Godzilla isn't about anything - it's just a wrestling match. A celebrity fantasy battle because Godzilla and Kong are celebrities and people want to see what happens when they fight. Whereas the best Godzilla films - the Japanese films - are always directly about something. The original 1950's film was about Americans testing nuclear weapons and the fallout displacing and killing Japanese civilians which the Yanks then covered up (look up "Lucky Dragon No 5" to see what directly inspired the first film). THE RETURN OF GODZILLA (1984) was about the Cold War and Japan being trapped between Russia and America's nuclear aggression while being powerless to do anything to protect their own citizens from the fallout of that aggression. GMK: GIANT MONSTERS ALL OUT ATTACK, despite being the greatest of all the Goji Wrestling Federation entries, saw Godzilla as a supernatural monster made up out of all the ghosts of everyone Japan murdered during World War II come back to inflict revenge on its people. GODZILLA MINUS ONE is about how post-war Japan's government crushed its own people and blamed them for losing the World War II instead of taking responsibility for its own aggression and actions and how the Japanese people need to find a new identity based on compassion and community, not tradition and fear. American Godzilla has nothing -- its just money and VFX to sell popcorn and drinks, not have a conversation with its audience about issues that plague humanity.

Anno has been blowing my mind and inspiring beyond belief most of my life, what a legend.

I always loved that this movie treated a Godzilla attack in a fairly legitimate way. Showing the human/government response and how difficult it would be to make decisions during such a situations

I love how this was a completely new take on Godzilla! Not just in terms of his biology, but how the focus was on the government response. I can’t wait for you guys to see Godzilla Minus One!

If you like Godzilla and Kaiju stuff you're going to love PACIFIC RIM! It's one of the best if you still haven't watched it.

Still crazy to remember this Godzilla was the largest live action version before the MV made their version taller

Fun Fact: #1 This Gojira is in a constant State of pain causing it to mutate/evolve to accomodate to the enviroment #2 If the movie seemd boring And having too much talking exposition in the form of the meetings that was the plan, it was supposed to boycott the slow reaction of the Japanese goverment during the disasters in 2011 (earthquake, tsunami And Fukushima)

This movie has a unique take because the director, Anno, has mainly done anime work. He is a bit of a complicated personality with a certain tendency for developing poor mental health during projects and with quite a few eccentric ticks. Some of the shots, mainly the military attacks, are classic anime tropes, anime angles and edited like an anime. Anno created what is widely accepted to be the greatest anime ever, NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, and you can see influences from that in this Godzilla movie. Some of the soundtrack was lifted directly from Evangelion. Anno presents disturbing images of destruction which traumatised the Japanese in the 2011 earthquake, the devastating tsunamis and the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The main aspect of showing the bureacratic aspect was that Anno, despite being an oldtimer himself, is a bit of a punk. He thinks and openly says that old people have too much influence over Japan and often ignore or hold back younger people with good ideas. In this movie he straightforward says: Old peoole out if the way! Let the less traditional, less conventional, less hierarchical young people steer Japan because it cannot get worse than what the old people have done with Japan since 1990.

I’m a little late but the first part of this movie is a commentary on how slow the Japanese government is to respond to disasters. Specifically the Fukushima Nuclear Accident and the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. The Japanese gov was heavily criticized for how slow they were to respond to those disasters in the first few days.

About the ending those humanoid skeletons coming out of the tail were going to be the next form. Godzilla was going to turn into hundreds of humanoid type of creatures in order to adapt. Basically, Godzilla was three stages away from annihilating all of human life and turning the planet into his home.

weird detail: Godzilla's eyes stay the same size as his body changes.

I don't know if you guys know this or not but if you look closely at Shin Goji's eyes when the artillery hit him his eye rolled back in the same way a shark's would when feeding. also a little fact about shin. The reason why he never reacted while getting hit by all kinds of munitions is because Shin Godzilla is in constant physical pain throughout the film. So what the humans where doing to him was nothing in comparison to what he feels constantly

You're right, the reason why Godzilla's earlier forms have 'derpy eyes' is because those are fish eyes, meant to sell that it's a sea creature.

In case you are wondering about that final scene. The idea behind shin Godzilla is that it can infinitely evolve to overcome obstacles (assume it can do it fast enough before being killed, which is how they did it in the movie). Godzilla realizes collective collaboration and team work was beating it. So how does it evolve to overcome that- by splitting and also become like humans. They would be super humanoids that would also technically be able to evolve too. Anyway each evolved form helps it live: 1st- the feet to stop scrapping its body and lungs to breath air- we see blood coming out of the gills 2nd- the ability to regulate the heat and the exoskeleton like scales to support its weight- we see it rush to water and returns normal temp and with harden scales 3-the blast cap eyelids to protect its eyes from the bombs and shortly after used to protect them from its own atomic breath 4-the atomic breath also comes around the same time as the radio dish detection for missiles and bombs so it can use the lasers to shoot them down 5- it froze before it could finish but as mentioned before, it was essentially becoming human kind.

There's a lot of thoughts about what the ending of Shin Godzilla means. A lot of people think of it as sequel-bait for a sequel that never happened, but I saw it as being more reflective of the movie's themes. My interpretation of the final shot is that Godzilla was evolving into a bunch of smaller versions of itself because, as it turned out, a bunch of small creatures working together was able to best one supermassive organism. Essentially, it's holding up Godzilla, a creature that constantly - and nearly instantly - evolves in response to whatever we throw at it, as a black mirror to humanity. It affirms the power of human spirit and innovation but also reminds us that Godzilla will forever put that ability to innovate to the test - or destroy us in the process.

About the end shot there, I coincidentally just found out the other day that the things growing out of his tail were other godzillas; he was on the brink of multiplying. There was an extended scene which showed the chunks of Godzilla's flesh that were blasted off during the first fight starting to evolve and become organisms of their own.

glad you guys liked this. everything about this movie was just unique and creative from the writing to the cinematography. japan nailed it with this one and it also reminded me of the Attack on Titan anime in ways

The camaraderie between the younger generation shown in this film is inspiring. One of the few Godzilla films where you are invested in the human characters, and rooting for them.

this is probably the most depressing version of godzilla to date, a creature that wants to die (never even wanted to be born) but its body refuses to let it die due to the fact that its body is constantly evolving in response to the danger.

As much as the movie is about the government's shortcoming to make decisions, it also demonstrates how humans from different positions and fields work collectively to defeat a threat. Funny enough, Godzilla's next evolution was adapting to that same method, becoming many individuals that work as a collective to combat what's threatening it.

Even though Shin Godzilla didn’t get a direct sequel it’s the start of Anno’s Shin Universe following up with other modern era (Reiwa Era) recreations of past Japanese sci-fi series. You should check out Shin Ultraman and Shin Kamen Rider (Shin Masked Rider)

The difference between the way humans are handled in this movie and Minus One versus the American iterations is gigantic. Humans in this film feel actually necessary and well justified. This is still my favorite Gojira to date. A real terror. That laser beam tho. Couldn’t wait to see your reaction to that scene. Also, that final shot of the humanoids flaking off Gojira’s tail was simply his next evolution phase. Remember, someone in the movie mentioned how it would take over the world. Well, imagine these radioactive humanoid monsters coming off and taking over. They stopped Gojira right in time.

There's a deleted scene were they show some of Shin Godzilla's torn out flesh from the bombings starting to grow multiple eyes and teeth.

It’s also directed by legendary director Hideaki Anno who created Neon Genesis Evangelion, often considered the greatest anime ever made. And the film shares so many similarities with the style of the anime, including some shared songs in the score.

I love how the Writers on Japanese Godzilla Films named the Plans on how take Godzilla down, came from their Japanese mythology . Shin Godzilla 2016 - Operation Yashioro Godzilla Minus One 2023 - Operation Wadatsunami Those Name was Fire Fire 🔥🔥

What I love about the movie the most is that it gives you that real world sense of what would happen if Godzilla was truly real they wouldn't have all these high-tech mechas or Mazer weaponry, and the fact that they let you see the entire red tape that the military and government had to go through in order to make sure that a problem like Godzilla is taken care of they go down the line😂 You guys do know there's a dub version, right? Oh well, it doesn't matter. Either one is still good. 7:40 the best part about this is that, as you watch the movie, you noticed that there is an evolution to how life began during the time of the dinosaurs, or rather before 9:41 a lot of people would complain about there's too much human parts here but if you take a closer look, put yourself in their shoes, you have to imagine every decision. Every choice every action made, could either spell salvation, or total annihilation, and after they said that Godzilla would be crushed by his own weight, and found out that was a lie. Can you imagine how the peoples trust in you would drop… That is definitely one of the best parts you get the perspective of the government and the people and how they feel about, this entire situation 11:05 fun fact, this movie will be showing Shin Godzilla's evolution 11:43 have you seen the eyes of the original Godzilla from 1954… Those eyes were goofy 16:44 the fact that she went from Japanese to English then back to Japanese pretty impressive I also love the fact that they're using a neon evangelion music as well as the original Godzilla music 21:43 I love how Godzilla's tail just weighs around like a flag. His dominance like it did in the movies… At least I think it did but the way it's doing that yeah 30:37 what happens right now I will explain what comes out first is atomic smoke breathing it in is deadly enough afterwards it's atomic breath, which is pretty much like flame breath, what comes out that well it's definitely more destructive😈 If you think Shin Godzilla is overpowered wait till you see Godzilla Earth. Shin, Godzilla brought up an old memory from a creature from Hannah Barbera, if you look up the Herculoids, you'll know what I mean fun fact:there is a Hannah Bara cartoon of Godzilla. What was growing on his tail was his own army growing one of his forms a fifth form if you will. But thanks to the coagulant. They're not gonna be moving. ... so long as they keep distributing the coagulant. Thing is, it was supposed to have more forms, but they were cut due to time constraints. It's final form, was to be its own universe with creatures based off of him. Including other Godzilla.

I think the last scene where it looked like humanoid versions of Godzilla about to grow out of his tail was to show how close the next form of Godzilla was, like it was seconds away and they were able to halt it, it was also Godzilla realizing that the only way to best humanity is become humanity, some other theory suggests that Goro Maki merged with Godzilla and became his tail thats why the humanoid Godzillas were growing out of the tail.

I'll never forget watching this at an indy theater in Bowery, when that music drops as Godzilla lit up you didn't hear a single soul make a noise until the atomic breath came out and the crowd erupted in cheers! Funny how Godzilla fans will route for the monsters over the humans almost every time 😁

true, the lack of cheers of joy after freezing Godzilla is a nice touch because they don't feel to be happy in respect to all the fallen comrades and victims before and during the operation

No matter what anyone says, i will always praise this Godzilla as the coolest one of all time. The lore of a creature mutating out of control, in constant pain, constantly adapting to survive dispite it not even wanting to, lashing out as a real creature would at whatever is attacking it, all caused by our negligent dumping of toxic waste- the insane evolutions as it gets stronger and stronger eventually turning into a universal threat- the absolutely flawless atomic breath going from smoke to fire to plasma as he covers his eyes and splits his lower jaw so he doesnt injure himself as he releases the built up nuclear energy building inside him- this is genuinely the best, most unique, coolest Godzilla design of all time and it deserves so much more recognition and love than it has

This movie, if you really understood the lore, and the story that was going to be made for the sequel, and if they didn’t stop it, is disturbingly horrifying.

"Do as you please. I will do the same." Maki's boat was found abandoned directly over the spot where Gojira first attacked. Gojira also has suped-up human DNA and is drawn to human cities. And, not only that, but Maki's data directly aligns with Gojira's mutations. ...I think I know where Maki went. He's gonna be chilling in Tokyo for a while.

This is the perfect movie for any Godzilla fan who wants to watch him be the main villain of the story

One thing I wished you guys praised more than anything in this movie, the soundtrack. This movie has a gorgeous soundtrack and scores

As a point of trivia, the MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator) bomb which drew blood from Gojira, is designed to reach and obliterate facilities hidden far underground, such as nuclear missile silos. It can pierce up to 200 feet of earth before detonating.

I love that Hideaki Anno used musical themes and cues from Neon Genesis Evangelion, most prominently the track "Decisive Battle". And you were correct on the humanoid forms. Godzilla was preparing to enter its next evolution state before they froze it - an army of Godzilla humanoids.

I love shin Godzilla for this exact reason, he constantly evolves to overcome any opposition therefore if a sequel would ever happen humanity physically can’t beat/kill Godzilla, his evolution ability makes him invincible

Glad you guys liked this. One thing i will say about godzillia in this, his roar is him "screaming in agony". All ot feels is pain, due to its constant evolution. The tail at the end was it trying to evolve quickly before the freezing happened. Super freaky. Human like godzilla monsters

Even tho it's late idc I'm still watching this👹👹👹👹👹👹

You gotta see Godzilla minus, ITS MIND BLOWING

"Every single action needs authorization from above" -yeah it's called marriage ;)

Movie recommendation for you to react to: THE WOLFMAN (2010), this film is a reimagining of the 40s classic, but much better and more brutal, but unfortunately it wasn't as well received at the time it was released, I recommend watching the director's cut version which makes the film even better, you'll like it.

Shin Godzilla is evolving and would become a literal God

The song you hear when the atomic breath begins in this is a song effectively about godzilla not knowing what it is, how it's constantly in pain, and how it simply must continue to move on to find some kind of purpose in this wolrd he's found himself in.

The humanoids on Godzilla's tale is another evolution. I saw the documentary on this movie and the idea was Godzilla also creating life when he evolves.

Its always more compelling when the creature is a threat rather than a protagonist. You two are top tier reactors, so much fun. Thanks for the upload.

What a wonderful film. As a Godzilla fanatic of 26 years, Shin definitely is the most radical/gnarliest take on the character, but Anno and his team made it work incredibly well. Like, there’s a reason why it went on to become the face of Godzilla in Japan for years after the film released, because of how utterly successful and resonating it was for people. It’s a hard hitting political satire that uses Godzilla as the catalyst to showcase how the Japanese government ultimately failed its people in real life events that Shin Godzilla was inspired by. Masterful film. You guys DEFINITELY need to watch Minus One when it comes to DVD and streaming! It’s an amazing time to be a Godzilla fan!!

I personally recommend watching/reacting to videos from other RU-vidrs on Shin Godzilla, such as Dangerville & Cynical Justin. That way, you'll get all caught on Shin Godzilla's lore & backstory.

Guys when I finally saw this it blew my mind, especially the darker tone and the upgrade in powers Gojira has. One thing I learned about the film is that they were making fun of how many meetings the Japanese government has during a crisis. It was actually a major issue during the Fukushima reactor meltdown. And speaking of that, Goji's first appearance here is a direct reflection of the tsunami that caused the meltdown in the first place. Godzilla's fallout is also a nod to what happened when the reactor failed. Such an insanely good film. Love this one!

Actually them aborting the initial attack was the WRONG decision. This is a tragic take on the character. It's basically a tumor with agency. It doesn't know what it is or why. The first time it used the atomic breath, it clearly was in major pain. To me this was the best Godzilla movie ever...and then G -1 happened.

This needs a sequel 🤩

God I adore the last shot; it just shows how close they cut it

I read that once Japan got through it's own red tape (making fun of which is a point of the movie) they worked together as a team to stop Godzilla. Godzilla was always evolving into a more powerful form. Its final, most powerful form was going to be a team.

So happy you guys decided to expand your Godzilla knowledge! The new "minus one" movie has come to dvd and is the first godzilla movie to win an oscar, soooooooo just saying.

Shin Godzilla is a masterpiece so happy to see you two reacting to this Godzilla movie.

I have been watching your videos from so long

There have been a lot of Shin Godzilla reactions lately.... FINALLY!!! Now I really have to see Minus One because I think thats the reason this film is getting so much well deserved attention now.

Yes!!! Loved this Godzilla design and its evolution. Can't wait till you watch Godzilla: Minus One! Enjoy!

What's fascinating about this film is that it shows the red tape and bureaucracy behind a natural disaster.

American Godzilla: saviour Japanese Godzilla: Earth Destroyer

This is one of the 3 best Godzilla movies ever made.

Hiya! I love this iteration of Godzilla. The constant, uncontrolled evolution is a great area to explore. The final scene with the creatures erupting from his tail floored me the first time I saw this movie, and I love the implication (which can be taken either way, I suppose) that they stopped him right before he evolved again or that Godzilla has only been stopped until he evolves past what they did to him. I've read there were originally supposed to be 8 or 9 evolutionary forms, some of which got really weird. Reallly enjoy you guys' reactions, keep up the good work.

GODZILLA MINUS ONE is amazing. WATCH IT.

Keep doing it and i love you guys indian movie reaction

Thanks for doing this in the original Japanese audio track. So many reactors do this with the English dub, and it's not even remotely the same.

This film was a direct response to the 3/11 earthquake and tsunami that hit the north of Japan and the subsequent reactor meltdown in Fukushima. I was living in Japan when that happened, and the scenes in this film of Godzilla causing massive destruction in the city are so reminiscent of the footage I was seeing on television of the tsunami surging through the countryside and the cities, leaving in devastation. But anyway, this film is, in part, an equally devastating satire of the government and it's failure to appropriately respond to and deal with the natural disaster and the fallout, figurative and appropriately respond to and deal with the natural disaster and its consequences.

a lot of fish from the deep have such goofy eyes. That was spot on lol

Great reaction you both absolutely fantastic keep it up

Shin is easily the 3rd best G-movie, The original of course and minus one are 1 and 2

This movie is fantastic!

If you want more Godzilla I’d recommend the heisei era starting with the return of Godzilla 1984

This is a Godzilla film. Unlike the American version where we have tried to make it a monster film, Godzilla was about the human elements; man versus himself or nature or something to that effect. Godzilla was just the vehicle and backdrop setting.

The concept art for what they thought up for this godzilla is insane. It's magnum opis of evolution is becoming something of a deity. Pretty badass.

Kingdom of Heaven(Directors cut) is a great film with a great cast excellent story and where Orlando Blooms character wont be hated like he was hated in Troy😂

The crazy part about this movie is that the woman who's supposed to be representing the Americans is in fact Japanese, and could not speak English. She said she struggled so hard to say her English lines, it drove her to tears. I can't help thinking it would have made better sense to just hire a native English speaker in the first place.

My favorite Godzilla movie for a long time, before being overtaken by Minus One.

Godzilla actually has the same eyes throughout the film. They just look different because his body has gotten bigger. As you stated, they are literally fish eyes. Realism.

Loving your Big G reactions! You guys are great!
