Godzilla was an anti-nuke story that immediately turned into 6 decades of japanese capeshit, this is nothing new
Yeah it's sad. I guess they just wanna profit by making it a franchise instead of doing it like an anthology, like Shin and Minus One were. There only so many different interpretations of the same movie you can have. I don't want any sequels though. They should just respect the character but in the end even japanese executives are greedy fricks.

Indeed. It's great.

Indeed. It's great.
so how did this film have an under 15 million dollar budget? all the scenes were pretty impressive and it never felt "off" to me.
I felt it in the sets. Like the firebombed village the MC lives in. It's the main location of the film, filled with both background and foreground importance, which evolves throughout the movie as the years pass and rebuilding efforts continue. Yet the only view of it we ever get is just MC's house and his neighbor's house. There's no overhead pan of what a post-war firebombed village looked like, nor additional shots for the rebuilding. We see two stalls of a market in a different scene, and an ocean-view of a dock. That's it. Nothing in between. It's very scant and felt like a TV show studio set in scale rather than a real location. There was no exterior to the post office or the hospital or Noriko's new job. In exchange, they gave proper budgeting to the locations that mattered: Godzilla's rampage in the city and the dockyard. They cut corners in a very efficient way. It also helps not having any major actors whose salary. $15M of the $60M budget for Interview With a vampire was just Tom Cruise' salary. That's the budget for the whole thing here.
The thing is did the film need those additional shots though? when I watched it it just sort of felt right, it didn't feel that much different to the typical scale of other movies atleast to me.
No, that's why I said it was an efficient way. It was just something I noticed in my watch, before I ever heard of its budget.
It felt perfect to me. I was so cozy in their finished home and I was really rooting for them as a family
Because Shin and Minus pretty much exhausted Godzilla vs Humanity theme for long time? Next one would be just inferior rehash.
Kaiju vs kaiju is great fanservice and enjoyable popcorn flick but will never reach the seriousness and depth of 1954 Gojira, Shin and MO which for a reason are considered best in the franchise.
>minus is a very human movie
homie are you complaining about godzillakino before it’s even out yet?
I don’t give a frick about that it’s going to to be the first time they show IJN Shindens on screen.
Of course the morons on this board are creaming themselves over this literal piece of shit military propaganda and not over the actual art Anno made out of it some years ago. Go fricking figure
>war is bad
>wow this is military propaganda!
>military propaganda
Where were the military in the movie? Other than getting brutally killed right at the beginning. The main guy is literally a deserter and they beat Godzilla with the power of the people while openly criticizing Japan's military lol.
Annogays should be lined up and shot.
If you defend the boardroom scenes of Shin Godzilla you are the definition of a pseudointellectual
The scene where they set up the conference room is my favorite.
is 100% gonna be kaiju vs kaiju slop
Would you consider King Kong vs. Godzilla, Godzilla vs. the Thing, Monster Zero, Godzilla vs. Biollante, and the Gamera Trilogy "slop?"
There won't be a sequel, next movie is gonna be another standalone.
Unfortunately the director wants a sequel.
Oh, great. Another Minus One tourist.
Your franchise is mostly slop that every now and then gets elevated by an actually good movie.
WINDOWS BLAST HIM
That's the beauty of Godzilla and why it has 70 years of staying power. Every movie/reimagining is radically different. One movie is a critique of Japanese Bureaucracy while another is about an underground society of sexualize klanwomen summoning a Giant Beetle.
Unironically an absolutely amazing movie. Behind all the wanton destruction is a really deep story of self sacrifice, honor and morally conflicted characters that keeps you glued to your seat till the very end. Don't care if you think it's reddit, go back to your disney capeshit if you don't like it. Best movie of 2023 easily.
GMK did this well where Godzilla got to be the terrifying embodiment of japanese WW2 warcrime victims as well as battle other kaijus
>minus is a very human movie that uses godzilla as a visual representation of the trauma of war
sequel without monsters:
>godzilla's brain is destroyed, he regenerates but lost his memories
>he doesn't attack humans anymore but humans attack him first out of fear
>shit flinging starts again, but someone realises this godzilla is different and is only angry cause we attacked first
>they blow up his brain, loses memories again
>humans realise godzilla isn't going anywhere and make peace with him
>story also focuses on godzilla's contamination and how humans deal with it, maybe benefit from it as well
I would actually love to see humans and godzilla make peace for real, not just godzilla ignoring humans and indirectly saving cities from other monsters. I can't remember if that has been done before
>humans realise godzilla isn't going anywhere and make peace with him
What's next? They frick? Get outta here you soft frick. We want the mayhem.
that could set up sequels so that godzilla and humans fight other monsters together. 2014 and kotm already flirted with the idea. with war and climate change in the 21st century, nuclear power = good, sustainable, deterrents for china and russia
I don't know it would work for Minus One. They should just make a new continuity that's more appropriate for sequels.
Legendary has the right idea (copied from 60s Showa) of giving him human villains as enemies so he can destroy military stuff and still be a hero but so far it's mostly been utilized in the comics.
you can also interpret it as "this godzilla was so rabid and aggressive which is why taming him was such a monumental achievement for humanity". same for nuclear energy. I feel like this is the second half of godzilla's arc we have been omitting for decades now. Nuclear energy is so dangerous yet humans can control (tame) it. The sequel could end on an uncertain note after taming godzilla since we ourselves still don't know if a nuclear apocalypse will happen. It should end in a way that makes the audience proud to be human yet uncertain and deeply scared he's still out there
Godzilla was never explicitly a warning against nuclear energy. Heisei introduced the idea of Godzilla feeding on radiation if that counts. But nuclear energy was used as a forced for good in the Showa series but right now it's not the most important topic. Nuclear energy has terrific PR but war or environment are also part of Godzilla's thematic legacy and they're more relevant.
and going back to my other post, maybe humans don't blow his brain up again but beat him so bad he learns to back off. he was attacking humans in minus one because they were in his "territory"
Nips learn how to control Godzilla and use him to take over the world. GLORIOUS NIPPON EMPIRE REIGNS FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS(and then Xillians and Ghidorah show up but that's the sequel.)
Some Godzillas had good relations with humans. Eventually.
>the trauma of war
I have to fricking gag every time I hear that sentiment made about the japanese after WW2. The war of aggression that they started, murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people across the pacific for years, was traumatizing for japan? and at least once a decade, the rest of the world has to be beaten over the head with some pretentious shit where japan portrays themselves as the victims because they were beaten so badly? Godzilla, as a metaphor for american nukes, shouldn't be portrayed as some horrible monster terrorizing the poor japanese people, it should be portrayed as the deserved commeupance of a bunch of warmongering buttholes. Or instead of making a kaiju movie, make a movie about the Rape of Nanking.
>very human movie that uses godzilla as a visual representation of the trauma of war
Shut your fricking gayhole, I watch kaiju for giant monsters smashing shit and suplexing each other while a japanese man watches from afar and shrieks like a little girl. Shove your gay symbolism and moral lessons back inside your boyfriend's butthole.
>Godzilla is not political
Ah yes the Critical Drinker's audience is here.
