Godzilla Minus One: the big film of 2023
If you are a fan of monster movies, you can’t miss the phenomenon Godzilla minus one. First released in cinemas in France for two days only in December 2023, then returned to screens for two weeks in January. Supported by excellent word of mouth, spectators flocked to discover this Japanese film directed by Takashi Yamazaki.
TO global box office, the feature film grossed more than $100 million (for an estimated budget of $15 million). Regard the biggest hit of all time for a Japanese film in the US (enough to expect a potential sequel).
As a reminder, Godzilla minus one immerses us in the touching context of post-World War II Japan, an era marked by the vivid memory of the tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this climate still marked by mourning and reconstruction, the mythical figure of Godzilla emerges once again from the depths of the sea, embodying the fears and scars of a nation.
The story focuses on Koichi’s journey, played by Ryunosuke Kamiki, a young man marked by the horrors of war and a previous encounter with the creature. A former suicide bomber who chose to flee from his fate, he finds himself faced with the possibility of an unexpected redemption in the face of this destructive force that reappears. Between painful past and present threat, Minus one explores themes of guilt, resilience and the search for meaning in the ruins of a world trying to rebuild itself.
Steven Spielberg is a fan of the film
After the unexpected success in the United States, Godzilla: Minus One was nominated for an Oscar in the “best visual effects” category. The opportunity for its director to participate in the traditional candidates’ lunch in Los Angeles. And also the opportunity to meet one of his teachersSteven Spielberg (named producer of the film Master by Bradley Cooper which competes in the best film category Ed.).
And the least we can say is that Takashi Yamazaki will remember this match! In fact, on his social media, the director of Godzilla minus one said Steven Spielberg was a huge fan of the film, and that he had seen it three times! The director of Jurassic Park, who is familiar with large lizards, also particularly praised him for the writing of his human characters. To thank him, Yamazaki gave him a Godzilla statuette.
