Godzilla Minus One2023

The Japanese reboot of the kaju king snagged a surprise Oscar nomination for visual effects. It deserves the win, whether you see it in color or glorious black-and-white. For once, the 70-year-old series finds a human depth to match its dazzle. A star is reborn.

对我这种看完哥斯拉全系列的人来说实在是太过瘾了。虽然-G纸面实力不怎么样，但是山崎贵对于哥斯拉的破坏力和气氛塑造实在是太爽了。哥斯拉登场的那段戏很明显参考了98美版哥斯拉的拍法，这也是那部烂片少数值得夸奖的地方；而哥斯拉践踏银座的那场戏也是完美展现了哥斯拉摧枯拉朽的破坏力，很多老特摄的表现手法也用特效技术完美表现出来了。本片中的放射热线更是让人瞠目结舌。此外还有很多致敬老哥斯拉电影的地方。文戏部分其实写得很平庸，再加上黑屏转场显得很莫名。安藤樱演技吊打其他人。音乐和布景都很不错。总之是一部挺有诚意的影片，对得起哥斯拉70周年的名号。

Come for the skyline-destroying radioactive dino, stay for the delicately etched portrait of recovery and self-forgiveness. Or vice versa. Just don’t miss the chance to remind yourself why the world fell for Godzilla in the first place.
