“Coming home everyday to my wife and child … who isn’t my wife and child “ 😂😂😂😂

The black spot on Noriko's neck is made up of G cells from Godzilla, which have been known to be mutagenic in some Godzilla properties.  I personally believe it's the reason she survived by being mutated with Godzilla's healing factor.

The only Godzilla movie where I actually cared about every single human character. It was fantastic.

The budget for this movie being less than $15 million is crazy. What the hell is Hollywood doing with their budgets?

The black rain is something that happened after the bomb fell on Hiroshima. The ash, fallout debris thrown in the air mixed with the clouds above creating black rain. Thus it happens in this movie and is my theory for how Noriko gets Godzilla's cells in her body and survives.

Yamasaki said Godzilla was heavily inspired by his cat, so getting easily distracted by a plane flying around checks out lol

This won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, as you can see that the VFX artists put a lot of love, time, effort and patience into making this movie happen.

My favourite part of the final battle is that nobody dies. The whole message about choosing to live really hits home here, where all of these citizens willingly go out there to defeat Godzilla in a way where everybody lives, especially Shikishima.

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."

Godzilla Minus One was an incredible experience in the theatre. I will genuinely never forget all of the sound being muffled out when Godzilla uses his atomic breath for the first time. It was such an insane piece of sound design.

This Godzilla borrows from other iterations, but it goes for the version that Godzilla was an evolved prehistoric creature that survived to modern day. When it was hit by the nuclear bomb tests, it caused him to rapidly mutate an unstoppable beast with the atomic breath. In fact, main Godzilla's skin isn't just scales, but are keloid scars left from the bomb's burns. That’s actually how the original 54 Godzilla's skin was supposed to resemble. The director also confirmed before he was hit by the bomb, Godzilla already had regenerative properties which allowed him to survive the bomb, but his healing factor caused him to rapidly mutate due to the fallout

I found this film so refreshing, a modern monster movie that allows a monster to be a monster and not make them the hero or relatable 👌👌👌

I'm glad Jen enjoyed this depiction of Godzilla because this is very classic and what Godzilla is/was supposed to be. Instantly became my favorite Godzilla movie when I saw this in theaters. By the way the appearance time of Godzilla in this movie is just about 12 minutes. Speaks to how well they crafted the human story in this.

What makes this Godzilla stand out is how they (finally) emphasized the human characters instead of just treating them like an afterthought. It's by far my favorite Godzilla movie of them all, actually making me ugly cry at the end.

Touching on  Survivor Guilt and PTSD put this movie over the  fence. Godzilla is making me tear up?!? A definite must watch.👍

How they got that baby to cry on command was crazy lol. That and the CGI I was most impressed with. A true 10/10 movie.

The fish looked weird because they were deep sea fish and they popped on the surface. That's my theory.

I love this movie. I saw it 8 times in theaters, and I recently bought the Japanese collector's edition blu-ray set. Hopefully, we get an english version of that set. It's fantastic.

This is what happen when you have a team of creators that aboslutely love and care about every single thing they make. They didn't do it for the money, they did it because they love what they do
