Godzilla minus one is a godzilla movie about godzilla showing up in japan just after the end of WW2, and keeping in theme with the previosu and only other kaiju film i've ever seen, godzilla appears in like 2 scenes total, my friend told me this was the rule and now I can confirm thatreffty_gag wrote:
Godzilla minus one ?
The actual plot of the movie is about this guy who was a kamikaze in WW2 yet refused to actually commit suicide for their country, which is, an extremely dishonorable thing to do. As far as I know, japanese are fucking crazy with that sort of stuff, like, you used to have the samurais with the harakiris and shit, not commiting suicide is often seen as a bad thing. There once was a japenese man who survived the crash of the titanic, yet was shamed by the public because they didn't go down with the ship.
Godzilla is just there to give this man another war, the movie is a lot more focused on him than on godzilla, and for good reason, the drama is really good.
Honestly japan seems to be doing the kaiju stuff a lot better than america with godzilla vs kong and stuff, this is a movie that from what I have seen it doesn't really change godzilla biology or whatever when compared to shin godzilla, you don't need to watch any other godzilla movie instead of the 20 movies that a lot of american movie franchises ask you to do, it stands by it's own two feet rather than relying entirerily on the IP, it's good
If i'm being entirerily honest, I liked shin godzilla slightly more but this is basically at the same level

Lucky for you, I have already seen it, also, there is nothing against requesting multiple things at once, people have done it in the past, so yeah, go wild with requests, also, in terms of spoilers, this movie isn't like that, you already kind of know what is going to happen going into the moviereffty_gag wrote:
watch "Byousoku 5 Centimeter (5 centimeter persecond)" by Makoto Shinkai, can you censor the spoiler part ? I take this as a first impression (sorry im just req two movies)
I LOVE makoto shinkai, they made some of my favourite anime, and some of the first ones I ever watched, and, in fact, I own TWO posters for makoto shinkai movies, weatherign with you and suzume. Also, not so long ago I read the 5 centimeter per second manga since I wanted to remember how it went
5 centimeter per second is probably the most painful and emotionally charged movie makoto shinkai has ever made, it's not really in my top 10 most painful things i've watched tho, still emotional regardless
The movie is about the passage of time and how this affects relationships, it narrates the life of this guy, the movie being divided in different stages of life, each scene isn't really the most impactful moment of their lifes, but they really showcases how their lifes has changed
Your social circle is always changing, you meet people and then you stop talking to people, and for this later thing to happen you don't really need to have a fight, just for your lifes to split, maybe it's inconvenient talking to them, maybe there are other, more important people in your life now, maybe you jsut don't enjoy being around them that much anymore
When talking about relationships, loving someone isn't enough by itself, the circumstanecs need to be right, in a relationship you're investing yourself to try to make it last, but we cant control everything in life, sometimes it's just impossible for two people to stay together, there is a reason why long distance relationships tend to fail, that teenage relationships tend to fail, it's just not a stable environment
But that is life, yes, it may be painful at the moment and maybe sad to think about, but is it really a bad thing that you split with everyone you knew at a certain point in life?, not really, if anything, always being tied to them would be a bad thing
I've seen people describe movies like this or I want to eat your pancreas or whatever as "crybait", and honestly that's a term and idea that I hate, yes, being moved and getting emotional over these type of films is intended, but there are also movies which point is to scare us or to make us feel a certain way
A lot of people also criticize that the way these movies make you emotional is "cheap", that they may be tropes or whatever, but again, I don't see why crying over an extremely complex circumstance is better than crying over the simple things, a movie isn't better the more complex it is, I think a lot of that criticism is very missguided and that works like these are often underrated
so yeah, this is a really good anime, A rank
