Godzilla Minus One (2023) - REVIEW

SYNOPSIS

Kamikaze pilot Kōichi Shikishima returns home to a Japan that has been left devastated by the Second World War. With his family killed in the bombings and wrecked with survivor's guilt, Shikishima takes in displaced Noriko Ōishi and orphaned baby Akiko as they try to rebuild their lives in the ruins of Tokyo. But soon their world faces destruction once again by the arrival of Godzilla.

If there ever was a film that could teach Hollywood a lesson in how to execute large scale spectacle while telling a compelling and emotionally involving story, then it's Godzilla Minus One. In one of the most unexpected cinematic experiences I've had this year, I was genuinely shocked to find myself absorbed in the characters and story even during the longer sections when Godzilla wasn't on screen. The film doesn't of course lack spectacle but director Takashi Yamazaki finds a perfect balance between set pieces and humanity that makes this one of the most satisfying and best films of 2023.

The film wouldn't work for me if the central performance of Ryunosuke Kamiki didn't deliver but Kōichi Shikishima is an instantly compelling and sympathetic lead as a kamikaze pilot whose fear of completing his mission plus a brutal early attack by Godzilla, leaves him with intense survivor's guilt. Even when the films tone becomes more lighter and even funny with the arrival of the post-war minesweeper crew (Yuki Yamada, Hidetaka Yoshioka and Kuranosuke Sasaki), you can see that guilt on Kamiki's face which acts as a barrier to him moving on and starting a new, fulfilling life with Minami Hamabe's Noriko and Akiko. The 1940's post war period is exceptionally realized and their survival in the ruins of Tokyo is a fascinating and absorbing drama in itself before you even factor in Godzilla.

The large scale destruction doesn't disappoint and would fit perfectly alongside the big budget offerings that Hollywood has given us over the years. A particular highlight is a chase sequences that feels familiar to Steven Spielberg's Jaws and had me on the edge of my seat. The biggest factor that makes this film so compelling is the way Yamazaki balances the film between the human parts of the story and the monster movie its trying to be and for me this is the films biggest success. Thanks to the time spent with all the main and side characters, the set pieces feel like they have consequence as you care what happens to them. The attack on Tokyo is particularly stunning with Godzilla's 'heat ray' looking very reminiscent of the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which thematically played a huge part in the creation of the original Godzilla movie. Thematically this deals with similar themes of life and death and has a refreshingly positive approach to its message which is backed up by an ending that feels very well earned.

VERDICT

Godzilla Minus One is exceptionally well balanced and tells a compelling human story alongside large scale destruction and action set pieces. The drama, spectacle, shocks and a few pleasant surprises make this one of the years most satisfying experiences.

5/5

It’s a oldie but sometimes the best ways to get villains are the classics.

Oh don't worry, the drugs will wear off and by then, will have everything set!

*KNOCK!* *KNOCK!*

Huh? Someone has arrive...

*walks over and opens the door* Hey guys, glad you can make it!

Hello there, happy to see you all! Happy to be invited along with the others!

*Mio walk in along with some others* Sorry for the late arrival, we just had to bring along somethings.

I-Is Komaru okay?! That bastard didn't hurt her, did he?

Oh don't worry, my brother is getting them out so they'll be okay; she's just lock up is all!

Th-That doesn't help at all...!

Ah what a charming guest, thank you for inviting us!

Hello!

Wait, you 2 are...!

Huh? Do you know us...?

Ye-Yeah, we know who you are - your those Warriors of Hope that put us into this situation and force us to stay with that Kota and end up like this, why are you here?!

Oh right, yeah uh... sorry about that, the thing is that we didn't know this would happen, we wouldn't have done it if we knew.

But I think we got more important things to deal with, like that Kota guy.

Right... I suppose that is the case but remember will be dealing with this later, right now we have bigger things to worry about.

Yeah Fiona, let's not fight with each other!

Oh Miyuki and Masashi, oh thank goodness your safe and your brought help as well.

Hey there Fiona, happy to see your okay!

Yeah don't worry, rescue is here!

'Man, this is one awesome party; glad to be here, eh?'

Indeed, at least now we can get to work.

Yeah - at least we got here at last...

Hey... where did Poppy and Takuma go?

Those 2 decided to stay and help with weapons so they are staying put but myself, Kei and Kanami are here to help out.

... (I wonder who those 3 are, I never met them before; are they working for Future Foundation?)

いつぶりだろうか。人前で涙を流さなくなったのは。いや、自分の感情で涙を流すという行為自体、もう10年くらいはなかった気がする。自分が自分である為に、これ"で"いいと、思うようにして。身の上話をする時は、自虐に走った。笑いながらネタにしてきた。理由は簡単、同情をされたくないから。上手く生きていけないことに悩んで、絶望して、諦めた。それからは自分なりに折り合いをつけて、開き直ってみた。その方が楽だ、それが自分だ、自分はそういう人間なんだ、と。そう思い込んで、思い込んで、思い込むしかなかった。そんな生き方をして出来上がったのは、何度も何度も縫い直したような、ツギハギだらけの仮面をつけた、ぼく。自分が思っているよりもはるかに自分は、弱かったんだ。初めからわかってたよそんなこと。ただ現実を認めたくなくて、受け入れたくなかっただけだ。だからずっと、ずっと、ずっと、ただ強がって、強がって、強がりながら今日まで生きてきたんだ。

でも、それはきっと君もどこか同じだろうとなんとなく思っていたから。君も色んな経験をしてきたからこそ、人の痛みがわかる人だと思っていたから。後出しジャンケンみたいで嫌だけど。でも、だからこそ、話しているうちに、気付いたら涙が止まらなくなったんだ。君は何を言うわけでもなく、ただ話を聞いて、一緒に泣いてくれた。そうやって泣いてくれたのは、君が初めてだった。上手い言葉なんかいらない、それだけで充分だから。本当の意味でぼくをわかって貰えたような気がして、嬉しかった。ありがとう。

キミが僕を見つけてくれた様に

今度は僕がキミを見つけるよ

この曲、君と出会ってから今日までずっと思ってる。一方通行でも良いと思ってる。キミに対する、ぼくのきもち。

Stealth mode.

*opens the door to her bedroom and quietly closes it* O-Okay... I made it back...

*puts hand to hearing piece* So,... given what you witness, do you have anything to say?

—————————————————————-

...Oh god, they really have no idea what's going on?

Oh... oh my goodness, oh god mercy...

That piece of shit, he... he's trying to make it look like Future Foundation was at fault for the tragedy! That actual fucking piece of shit!

Curse him and those Ultimate Despairs, they... they really have no idea of the situation and that Kota Hashimoto is using it against us, figures he would.

And I think we know exactly who to blame for this situation, correct Warriors of Hope?

*Kyosuke turns his attention to the Warriors of Hope...*

Yeah... we know...

We... we place those girls in that situation, oh god we... we did this, didn't we?

And that Fiona girl, she... she mention she got nearly molested and only ended up there because of us...

I...I didn't... this... this isn't what was suppose to happen...! I thought we were saving the kids, but this is...!

Was...Was there any other option at all?

Sounds like it wasn't; either they get killed by the adults, get a mask put on them by the Warriors of Hope or this and of the 3 options - the 3rd option seem the less bad.

Indeed, going for the least bad option seem far more suitable, especially when seeing their parents die right in front of them; it's rather cruel.

No kidding but we know we have to save them, no matter what!
