Aside from its being physically intimidating, what did you want to define this specific take on Godzilla? What kinds of ideas did you want to highlight in order to make it distinct within the larger Godzilla canon?

Are you familiar with Princess Mononoke and the way that film begins?

Of course, yeah. 

This is actually something I realized after I finished Minus One and started reflecting on the entire process. This is very specific to Japanese culture and has roots in both Shintoism and animism, but at the very beginning of Mononoke, the people have to calm the raging spirit down, and I wanted to create a Godzilla in a very similar vein.

I wanted Godzilla to feel like the physical embodiment of a kind of negative energy tied to people’s fears, worries, and disillusionment. We — humans — we’re not necessarily there to kill Godzilla. We’re there to calm him. Minus One is about putting a name and face to something scary and inviting the audience to calm that negative presence through the shared experience of watching the film.

(GODZILLA MINUS ONE) 2023

I just watched it, and yeah, they're definitely getting an Oscar woah! A Godzilla movie made me tear up. I've grown up watching "all the movies" and "related animated series" never once have I cried from it. Wonder how they're gonna top this masterpiece in the future if they continue this new toho run?🤔
