How Godzilla Minus One Conquered the Box Office

Set in post-war Japan, Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One took the original Japanese kaiju film genre and expertly reinvented it for the modern palette. Along with stunning special effects that were also extremely realistic, the film also benefitted from a powerful story that featured a world thrown into further chaos after being ravaged by war.

While previous Godzilla films used formidable artillery to fight the monster and its tribe, Yamazaki’s film relied on people and their intellect to ultimately conquer their nemesis. This is where the human element in the film came to the fore. According to Yamazaki in an interview with Vulture, this aspect made it stand apart from the other films in the franchise.
“Once you have Godzilla fighting any kaiju, the human story ends up taking a backseat. It’s great to have Godzilla fighting whoever, but my personal challenge would be to resolve that balance. The kaiju can battle, but the human story needs to be there.”
As it turned out, Godzilla Minus One became a huge success at the box office and brought in huge collections that put superhero films like The Flash to shame.
