I was told this was a good movie.
I don't understand why. Please help.

Its fun.

If you don't understand, there's no point in spoonfeeding you. It's okay that you don't like it. Just continue watching the newest Disneyflicks
Angel Parker
It cleverly recaptures the sheer impact of destruction for modern audiences while being clever enough to make it a political thriller and an interesting exploitation of the situation. It's not everybody's thing, but it's not objectively a bad movie. I'm sorry if it wasn't the monster movie you were looking for.
Camden King
It's 'cool' because it's a giant monster movie that doesn't focus on the monster but instead it's about BUREAUCRACY IS BAD AND SLOW. Thus having your expectations subverted and that makes the redditors cream their pants

If Godzilla is Hiroshima and Nagasaki then Shin Godzilla is Fukushima. That is it say, Godzilla is dead and has been dead as a "threat" for ages. It lives on as a cultural impact, both the movie star monster and the devastation of the second world war. Shin Godzilla is still alive just dormant, waiting to wake up. This is the current state of Japan. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster nothing could be done to prevent the devastation or salvage the surrounding ocean from the hundreds of thousands of tons of nuclear waste that still are in Japan's ocean.
When Shin Godzilla destroys large portions of Japan as bureaucrats watch helplessly that is more or less what actually happened during that event. The prime minister being killed by the monster is accurate, he resigned with tears after the disaster in real life.
Shin Godzilla not being defeated in the film clearly shows the state of Japan today. They have many nuclear plants, any of which could meltdown as Fukushima's did easily destroying Japan. But there is nothing a Japanese can do about it, they simply observe the horrific monster laying dormant on their land and pray it never wakes up.
tl;dr Godzilla was a hell of the past, Shin Godzilla is an ever present and relevant monster of the future.

Of course a wrestling watching subhuman does not appreciate Shin Gojira.

>Haha how did this boy get into the containment zone around Godzilla's corpse?

No subversion here, its just like the first one.

Think about it.

I like it mostly for the mysterious and incomprehensible nature of Godzilla.
I agree about the subtext but hate the reactionary attitudes against nuclear power you point our. Plan sites better. Move to safer reactor designs. Avoid regions that combine proximity to the coast with fault zones (most of Japan to be fair). Build for ease of robotic repair.
Everybody is horrified that 1 million people have a slightly elevated risk of cancer and *horror* a small area is returned to nature. All the while people in places like India die in huge numbers due to asthma, heat stroke due to heat island effects, and lung cancer, and can't afford modern nuclear for cheap baseloads because the G8 has divested from it.
Anthony Carter
You say to do all of these things like anyone who wants to make money off of energy cares to do them. It's not about safety it is about convenience and financial gain. I'm not saying be reactionary I am saying that when "huge numbers" die in India we know why and how many. We -still- do not know how badly the Fukushima disaster fucked us up. We have a vague idea. The fact it is projected to continue to cause problems from japan all the way to the west coast of america implies an impact over generations. And we got lucky with Fukushima, dangerously lucky. It could have been much much worse.
As you say the "mysterious and incomprehensible nature" of it is what is likable because it is relatable. That is nuclear power for most people and the idea a disaster can happen unpredictably at any time, doing incalculable damage is why people jump to fear so easily. Heat stroke is easy to understand and while a horrible thing that should be prevented at least we know it. Shin Godzilla is something we can never know and can break free from control at any time.

This alone is better than the entire 2014 Godzilla

If a movie just gave you what you wanted you wouldn't like it, which is why it's so important to subvert your expectations.
Jordan Torres
There's absolutely NO reason for this movie to be 2 hours long, especially considering the only interesting parts of it center on Godzilla which is at max only 30 minutes long.
Gavin Moore
Yeah its garbage, so naturally Yea Forums loves it. Fucking borefest of a movie
Charles Baker
This.
Essentially is the first Godzilla movie that is a somewhat poignant satire again.
Jose Sanders
Shin Godzilla is about the Japanese government's negligence and terrible handling of the tsunami and Fukushima more than anything else, it's not saying nuclear power itself is bad. On the other hand, the anime movies actually were very reactionary, they're outright primitivist.
Connor Fisher
There is no reason for any movie to be at all. If your interest is in being interested you would do better being interesting yourself so that you cause interest in the first place.
Bentley Hall
The thing is, you could do this and still have an engaging character and story. Ghibli nails this every single film. Basically i was made to not care about anything when i watched this film. >Some people discuss politics
>Some people run away from cross eyed monster.
>Herpes monster grows big and shoots lazers
>Some people die.
Still don't know why i should care.
