So we went to see Godzilla Minus One. Now this was my first Godzilla movie ever, I was going in with absolutely no context or history. I went into this movie the same way I’m sure a lot of Americans did, ready for a monster movie. The trailer also kind of hyped up that angle. So I went in ready to watch Godzilla tear some shit up. What I was not ready for was a heartfelt story about a man finding the will to live, commentary on survivor’s guilt and the devastations of war and the power of forgiveness.

This movie was honestly and sincerely a 10/10. Seriously a perfect movie. It was heartfelt and beautiful and if it’s not nominated for the foreign film Oscar I will riot. I am also super angry already that it won’t get the attention it deserves because it’s a foreign film. It also deserves nominations (and wins quite frankly) for Best Film AND Best Actor. There is not a single performance from anyone this year that even gets close to matching the intensity and range that I saw from Kamiki Ryunosuke in Godzilla Minus One. There is not a single film that was released this year that is anywhere as near as good as this film was. Godzilla Minus One officially goes on the perfect movies list.
