Brother, I can not thank you enough for this. I have never resonated with or felt more understood by a pice of media. You voiced my thoughts and developed them further. Genuinely, Thank you

I like the logo.

Now I am become death destroyer of world's

you cried, bro!! do not hide it!

I would go so far as to say it's the best Godzilla movie ever.

That charge up and aftermath destruction? Perfect Norikos last second sacrifice? Dropped my fuckin jaw This was the only godzilla/monster movie where i actually cared and wanted more of the "human drama" They did such a great job portraying these chracters dealing with a post-war mindset and Japan. This was just amazing in every way

I was so skeptical about this movie. I’ve only ever liked the original, so I didn’t see this in theaters. I only watched it a few days ago, in fact. This movie messed me up. For me, this movie, and Godzilla’s role in it, are all about Koichi Shikishima. Not to detract from all of the other things Godzilla represents, it’s just what stuck out the most to me. Godzilla seemingly follows Koichi throughout the film, showing up wherever Koichi is, or will be. He grows in size or destruction every time, reflecting the weight of the guilt and shame Koichi feels. Every time he appears, Koichi’s past as a failed Kamakazi pilot, and his greatest shame and guilt, are somehow referenced. Every time Godzilla appears he takes a toll, specifically on Koichi, adding to his guilt, his shame. It’s only when Koichi literally faces the demon head on, that the demon is defeated, and Koichi’s war is finally over, allowing him to dream again. What a movie.

But oppenheimer is s real human and the movie is a story about him and Godzilla minus one is all fiction

While l appreciate your comments, l was underwhelmed by this movie. I took grew up on these movies, so l certainly appreciate what the director was able to accomplish, but l feel the filmed stumbled on two counts: it was essentially a remake of the original film. Nothing wrong with that, but the original is still mocked and derided by moviegoers, but the new film retreads the original material with middlibg results.. Second, where is the sacrifice in this story? In the original, Serizawa sacrifices his life - and love - for the greater good. In this new version, not only does the pilot survive, but so does his girlfriend, which l feel us a cheat and a feel-good tack on ending. Overall, it is a solid reset for the series, but failed to take the great risks of the original.

The only thing 'Lost' about John Walton's 'Lost' books is his highly debatable, confusing, contradicting metaphysical ideas about Genesis. It smacks of modern day Gnosticism where only special scholars with special enlightenment can interpret the biblical record with authority. I've met more serious biblical thinkers who have serious problems with Walton. His ideas are dangerous and should be approached with caution and great biblical discernment.

I greatly respect author Dr. Walton’s brilliance and creativity, but his proposed solution to the question of Origins, in "Lost World" only leads to a more serious set of problems. Still, this controversial book still has merit worth considering. Here me out; To be blunt, Walton's philosophical approach is a rather dangerous way of looking at the world. The history of the church includes well-meaning scholars who introduce ideas that undermine Biblical authority. This is the case with the gifted Old Testament professor Dr. John Walton. I was required to read this book for my Master's degree class. While his approach was indeed 'innovative' many of my fellow students were upset over his conclusions and complained to the Professor of the class that it seemed Walton was casting doubt on the infallible authority of Scripture. He introduced some bizarre terms like 'function over form' meaning creation was not so material as it was functional, which made absolutely no sense to most of the class members! For example, Dr. Walton asserted that ancient Near Eastern people focused more on how things functioned than their material nature. This meant that when Genesis 1 describes God forming land, sea, and animals over a series of days, it is not referring to material substances like dirt, water, and flesh appearing at specific times and places. Rather, it reveals the function of these things within the ‘cosmic temple’ of the world. This unusual construction enabled Dr. Walton to conclude that Genesis 1 “was never intended to be an account of material origins. Rather it was intended as an account of functional origins…. If the Bible does not offer an account of material origins, we are free to consider contemporary origins on their own merits, as long as God is seen as ultimately responsible.” Since then, Dr. Walton has continued to apply his ‘lost world’ methodology to other parts of the Bible. In additional books, he redefines the nature of Biblical revelation, that Adam and Eve were ‘archetypes’ instead of the first biological humans, and that the Genesis flood was an unidentifiable local event hyperbolically described as a global catastrophe. Dr. Walton reminds me of the third-century theologian Origen to whom he sometimes refers. Origen had one of the most creative theological minds in the early church. Nevertheless, his creativity led him to advocate views that were rejected as dangerous to Christian theology. These statements reveal a modern form of Gnosticism. By ‘Gnosticism,’ I’m referring to a philosophical view of the world that thinks special, hidden knowledge is necessary to understand what is true. For Dr. Walton, this knowledge is found in his ‘lost world’; it can only be recovered by scholars like himself. Such knowledge provides true insight into reality. According to Dr. Walton, Biblical truth is not dependent on real history. Instead, “truth is found in the narrator’s interpretation, which we accept by faith, regardless of whether or not we can reconstruct the events. His interests are not concentrated on human history but on God’s plans and purposes.” This is the goal of gnostic thinking: the separation of human history from God’s plans and purposes. Gnosticism consistently seeks to substitute Biblical history with its own history. In the early church, it looked to the religions of Persia and the philosophies of Greece to provide a spiritual history of the world. In the modern era, it looks to the religion of evolutionary science and the philosophies of the Enlightenment to create a materialist history of the universe. At its heart, however, Gnosticism is at war with God’s real actions in history. It is a heresy that stands in opposition to the Biblical view that teaches a direct connection between God’s original acts of creation and His absolute control of every event in time. Dr. Walton’s gnostic interpretation of the Bible inserts a gulf between events and the interpretation of those events. He must do this, however, to replace Biblical revelation concerning origins with the contemporary evolutionary history. Authority is therefore taken out of the event and placed only in the interpretation. If events such as the creation of animals or the flood actually happened as the narratives describe them, an evolutionary history of the world is impossible. Dr. Walton may deny this sort of historical substitution is his intent, but the structure of his books, the repetitive comments within them, and his professional associations tell a different story. He has published an extensive corpus of material that provides clear insight into his views. The result of accepting Dr. Walton’s gnostic worldview is the slow destruction of the historical foundation upon which Christianity is based. Although he believes he is providing a solution to the origins debate by disconnecting the Biblical text from real history, he is simply falling into the errors that have beset Gnosticism since the first century. Yet Dr. Walton is a professor at one of the most respected evangelical colleges in the world. Such a position gives him remarkable credibility to spread his “new analysis of the meaning of Genesis” to Christians everywhere. As a result, some will be swayed by his methods to adopt his modern form of Gnosticism. The solution is only found in the Christian worldview. To accept it, however, means the rejection of the neo-Kantian view of reality. It also means the rejection of Dr. Walton’s division of physical and metaphysical as he defines them. That is concerning indeed. I suspect something similar is going on with Dr. Walton. He clearly is a brilliant man and an exceptionally creative thinker. He has developed a unique interpretive structure to solve a particular problem, one he brings up over and over again in his books: the “perceived origins conflict between the Bible and science….” The goal of his work seems to be to solve that difficult problem. The problem becomes a tsunami in the making when one goes to metaphysical philosophy with a non-Christian worldview like that of Kant, that John Walton seems to be drifting to as we speak. "The Lost World" is a book one should read with an open Bible at hand. We live in a day and time when even the most celebrated intellectuals, especially among the academy, are not neccesarily the most beneficial for our faith and walk with God. Discernment has never been needed more than today. Make doubly sure you ask for it when you read "Lost World." You may discover, as many before you, that the only thing which is truly "lost" is the desperate attempt to spin biblical theology of the creation accounts in a way that depresses rather than impresses the average reader.

When everyone wants you to live that is what you must do ❤️

Amazing what happens when you make a movie and don't shove biases down people's throats.

I don’t understand the hype. The special effects were really good but the acting was horrible. Too much manufactured drama between the human characters. I’m a die hard Godzilla fan and was excited then I got half way through the movie and found myself looking up other things on my phone. Nothing in this movie was special. Good not great film and no where near what people are saying about it.

I also repeatedly went to blockbuster when I was a kid to rent the Godzilla Flicks over and over thanks mom and dad!! I had lymes disease and subsequently ulcerative colitis so being sick and watching godzilla vhs from blockbuster is formative for me. This recent iteration was exceptional. Very well done! I am loving this Godzilla resurgence! Just like the beast. It rises up again from the depths to tower over the waves in the ocean of our collective consciousness yet again.

Yes, the human story could've been told w/o Godzilla, but I'm so glad Big G was in it. I argue this is the best Godzilla ever made.

Godzilla minus one probably makes a fantastic sci-fi sequel to Oppenheimer

First watch at the movies was great. Watched it since and the acting seems very "overacted" to me. Still a great Godzilla film. I think Godzilla is always better as the bad guy!

This movie is more about the Tokyo firebombing that killed more people than either of the A-bombs. This is the best Godzilla movie of all time. It is a metaphor for the emergence of Japan as a country devestated by the war to a country that won the peace.

I mean with that logic u can attach it to most the other films

Nietzsche also very much critiqued and never advocated for nihilism.

This movie recalled (to me) the tv show "The Days"

I mean storywise it is not technically wrong.

Wonder if we could ever convince Nolan to do a Godzilla movie?

After watching the movie on Apple TV. I wished I saw it in theaters.

I have seen it twice and cried both times. "what", yes its a monster movie but so much more easily the best film in years . This raises the bar leaving hollywood far behind / dont miss it its a emotional rollercoaster with a great Godzilla thrown in

Just watched on Netflix and the English dub was surprisingly great. My wife can't stand reading subtitles.. lol

Hard for me to listen to this. I was halfway through one of Oord's books when he started affirming "climate change" and evolution. Has this guy not cracked a book on these topics other than from the extreme Left? He seems absolutely clueless on these topics and is just buying into the leftist narrative. So, I searched other books under his authorship and found "Why the Church of the Nazarene Should Be Fully LGBTQ+ Affirming" Paperback - April 13, 2023, by Thomas Jay Oord. Has this guy not heard of James Lindsey's work?

I think the word for that overwhelming beauty is harkening back to romanticism and the sublime which is in direct opposition of the secular, cynical, and minimalist postmodern viewpoint

A godzilla film where you dont want godzilla to appear. You love the humans and dread this monster entering thier lives..

You got it wrong my friend... the logos when it was made flesh that's jesus. God did not became flesh, it was the logos. THERE IS NO ABSENTEE GOD IN HEAVEN AT ALL.

If the best of the year 2023 is a low bar to clear: Yes.

I think one reason it is so compelling, besides giving us a forbidden peek into their cultural ideals about dignity and service, is that it also gives a peek into our own prejudices about the Japanese people of that era that we get from our Hollywood WWII movies. It shows us what we think about the "Japs," it shows us what they think about themselves, and it shows us what transcends all that, which the director masterfully leaves for each individual to decide when and how that transcension occurred. He gives us multiple opportunities so that no one is left out. That's great literature, not just great movie. No wonder Spielberg watched it three times.

Nature is God's authoritative record of nature is nature itself.

I turned my saturation on my tv all the way down and watched it on netflix this morning. Now it’s not the true black and white experience but omg it’s so good! Godzilla is so much scarier in black and white

Is it weird that I listen to this before I sleep? it’s kinda relaxing hearing you talk about your views on both movies🙂

They don't hate and blame their audience like Hollywood nowadays.

Nolan could've done the craziest meta thing imaginable in the movie Oppenheimer, where he could've actually shot a scene of Oppie watching the godzilla movie in theatres.

Shin Godzilla is and always will be my favorite incarnation of Godzilla himself but Minus One is definitely the better movie overall and is perhaps the first godzilla movie that actually makes you care about the human characters

Music too loud

Japan really drop the ball on this movie they use to make good monster movies but I dont know what happen with this film

MoS, BvS UE & ZSJL are the top tier superhero movies ever made!

Man...real men admit they cried when watching this movie. I bawled my eyes out😂

To be honest, as a movie fan and a godzilla fan, this is by pretty far my favorite godzilla movie and maybe simply movie as a whole. Not gonna lie i also had some tears at a few moments (not gonna say more for spoilers)

Love the snyderverse....never sow such an sepic saga wasted like that with so many talent....warner idiots

If Superman represent Jesus who does Batman represent?

Creed and Nickleback were always great.

I'm happy this movie finallty released in HD, cause hot damn out of any Godzilla movie I've seen in my life, this one without a doubt has one of the best cast of characters in any of the movies, I say this because unlike the American Godzilla movies the characters don't feel like their trying to get across some sort of agenda that exists almost purely here in the west, they are honest and you care about what happens to them, and thats saying a lot when a movie is in a language that you may or may not understand, you don't need to hear these characters speaking your native tounge to grow invested in their stories

Scripture does not support the idea of a hypostatic union. Jesus made it clear his miracles were from the Father working in him. They were not done by his power. Plus, he did not know the time of his return. If we say he didn't know in his human nature only, then his natures were not united, as Chalcedon maintained they were, right? Rather the Logos, who was God, was made a man, and did his works by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Father working in him. He always had his spiritual identity as the Logos, the Word of God, so he was always God in identity. But it was the Father working in him that did his works. As it says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him"

This movie makes Hollywoods movies look like slideshows
