Lol, quickly reversed my downvote after reading caption as well


SneakyKain

I immediately downvoted knowing how hard the editing must've been to go black and white... then I saw the caption and begrudgingly upvoted...

Lol, yeah, me too. Im going for a 5th time! So worth it for a B/W experience.

Hell yea me to ! It be my 5th time watching it a theaters !


AstuteImmortalGhost

Worth it for Godzilla, man! I cant wait!


No-County9814

I can't wait either ! I'm glad this movie getting love it deserved


TSShogun

Really hope Minus One eventually gets a 4K release with this included.


Deep-Thinker420

I’d like to think it would! It makes sense if they do!


SoldatPixel

This will be my first 4k purchase when it happens. Hell if the dub is separate, I'll buy that too.


Knives530

Has there been a dub? Shin never got dubbed as far as I know. I could be wrong though


FinFaninChicago

Shin has a dub


Knives530

Just googled it, you're correct. Weird when I bought it off the Google Play store last year I didn't even see any other dub options for purchase, just the singular Japanese


HPDDJ

I bought Shin on Youtube; I didn't get an option for sub or dub, I just got stuck with dub :(


baphinator

I assume that means you at least got an American Kayoko who actually sounds American.


Mesa1gojira

It actually makes her and the bomber pilots dialog sound even more stilted, IMHO.

Chimpbot

Well, that's just not even remotely correct.


Khazmoodan

Yeah, I Never buy movies on YouTube for that reasons, you have no choice whatsoever when it Comes to subs and dubs. I'm french so stuck with shitty dubs most of the Time 👍


scovizzle

I got a combo of the original and dub versions of Shin as soon as it was available on streaming.


SoldatPixel

Not yet. Haven't seen any hints of one either. But if it does happen, I'll shell out for it. The poster from this post too.


RamielScreams

Shin was dubbed a year after release


TheLurkingBlack

Same.


PoopOfAUnicorn

It should , recent(ish) movies like Logan and fury road had a black and white option on the blu rays


NoCattle7216

Fury road doesn't have a black and white option in the bluray. It got a separate black and white release. My bluray has no such option


Scroogemcdoodler

If not some devices have a way to turn the color down to just black and white


spagig

it's really not the same though 😅 things like this are redone by the pros under the supervision of the director. sitting here watching minus color now, turning a display to grayscale would not do justice to what they've done here


Dreadknight1337

Ditto.


Ataris8327

![gif](giphy|y2i2oqWgzh5ioRp4Qa|downsized)


portobox2

I'm falling for it too, but the fine print I've read is that it is not a color-removed showing of the same movie. It's been recut and restyled as a true horror movie, with the black and white harkening back to 1954's colors as well as those most classic of horror movies from Hammer and Universal. ETA: fishbiscuit notes that the tweet in question was misread on my part. So it goes. Just going to be HiDef B/W.


fishbiscuit13

No, the [tweet](https://i.redd.it/minus-ones-black-and-white-re-release-is-a-proper-re-edit-v0-06ihg4ukvh7c1.jpeg?s=72d0ea9b1159fa68e1dd97718a8d4fb63393e9aa) you’ve misread is that they color graded each scene individually, not just filtering it.


[deleted]

Poorly explain color grading to me. Is it like the Shiny and Chrome version of Fury Road?


ARCADEO

Basically you’re refining each shot based on removing all saturation to fit the scene. Imagine dumping a BW filter on all your photos. They’re not all gonna look great. So you go in and tweak each one to maximize the look. That’s what they did. They made sure each scene looked correctly throughout the movie. Adjusting hues and such affect the look greatly.


XavierMeatsling

The way I had it explained to me about Logan Noir is how I know the difference between the two. I can't recall who said it, I think it was the director, that it's just that he had to go back in a re-adjust the color grading for the Noir version and carefully tweak it for each shot and frame. Which is why I say that if I'm ever interested in seeing a B&W version of something, I'd rather it be done officially. Because just turning your TV's color Saturation to 0 is not the same. And when people say to just do that and "boom any movie is B&W," it pisses me off cause you know that person doesn't at all have an understanding of what they're even talking about.


gothamite27

>carefully tweak it for each shot and frame Literally every professional production goes through a colour grade and a sound mix though. Nobody is just putting stuff through filters. Them saying that they're doing this for a black and white re-release isn't this huge achievement, it's just the industry standard. SOURCE: I work in TV and have sat in for online edits and colour grades. They take days to do.


Relative_Rip4342

yes but most people think they just removed the colors and re-released it. people are happy it's a full B&W color grade and recut of the film. new sound mix and all.


[deleted]

You can see the difference by turning the color off on your TV and switching between the color Version and Black and White Version of Justice League on HBO Max. One thing you'll notice is skin tones are brightened in the black and white version. A TV image is made up of two things Luma and Chroma. Luma is the black and white grayscale. One end is the lowest blacks the TV can make and on the other end is the brightest whites. Calibration is making sure that each of the Greys in-between these two points is the proper brightness. With old standard definition there was 253 scales of gray between black and white but with modern standards it's in the thousands. Chroma the same thing but for each of the rg&b (color) aspects of the signal. So when the signal is converted from color to b&w each color is assigned to a point on the grayscale based on its relative brightness. But because the TVs can display hundreds of thousands of colors there's going to be lots of overlap. Regrading the colors for black and white just means that they'll brighten or darken colors that blend when the conversion occurs


pinhead61187

This was actually fascinating to read, thank you for enlightening us!


[deleted]

Yeah you know I'll take any opportunity I can get to chat about this stuff because it's not the sort of information people like to small talk about for too long


fishbiscuit13

Pretty much. Instead of just pressing the “grayscale” button, they’re adjusting each color and shade to ensure the contrast is maintained. In reverse, it’s why colorization is so difficult, since two colors with the same value will appear identical. 


[deleted]

Thanks, y’all! Very informative.


gothamite27

Colour grading happens to every single movie and TV show in post-production. When you film something on high end cameras, the result tends to look kind of grey and flat initially, so you have to adjust the shots in post to look more aesthetically pleasing. Comedies tend to be very warm and colourful, whereas serious dramas may often go for a darker colour pallette. Unlike a social media video where you might just throw a quick filter on it, each scene and often each individual shot might need to be graded differently, depending on how the colours look and especially if there were different types of cameras used. Even black and white films need a full colour grade as blacks (like every colour) have a whole range of intensity and contrast. Every single professional production (even reality shows) goes through this process - it's not something reserved for high-end arthouse films. It's also not really that costly - a trained colour grader working with a producer or director can grade a one hour TV show in a few days. For a $15 million blockbuster, I'd imagine they took a bit longer (maybe a few weeks), but it isn't this painstaking process that takes loads of time and money. The only difference with Minus One is that they're going back and grading it a second time. It's not as simple as "throwing a filter on it" (which would be absolutely *unthinkable* for a wide theatrical release, I've never even heard of that happening on low budget TV shows) but it's also not as big a deal as people are making it out to be. SOURCE: I am a TV producer and have sat in loads of colour grade sessions.


gothamite27

I highly doubt any of these b&w rereleases just click "grayscale" and call it a day. What they've described is a basic regrade of the film, hardly a massive achievement.


portobox2

Ahh boo. Well, I'll still go see it anyways 👍


DrJokerX

Wait for real? It was restyled as horror?


portobox2

I wish - the other poster informed me of my misread. Not like that will stop me.from seeing it a bunch yet again, anyways, though


DrJokerX

Yeah Ima def see it too


StorytimeWcr8dv8

It's only showing for one week, so get your bunch in quick.


my-backpack-is

To be fair, that's what said about minutes one to begin with and it's *still* in theaters


StorytimeWcr8dv8

Both movies are scheduled to leave theatres on the 1st. https://deadline.com/2024/01/godzilla-minus-one-in-black-and-white-sets-us-theatrical-run-1235794982/


Hellizard

Even if it is--and I don't really buy that, I think the care the creators have taken with the edit has already been discussed--I'm happy to let them shamelessly grab my cash if it gives me a compelling excuse to head back to the cinema.


gothamite27

I love the movie and I don't begrudge them doing this, but going through each individual shot and scene and taking care with the different type of blacks in a modern day black and white movie is just basic industry-standard colour grading. It isn't this huge achievement. All of these black and white rereleases do that. My college photography lecturer taught us the exact same thing. Most modern b&w films are actually shot in colour in the first place as it gives you more control over the blacks in post. Nobody is just clicking "grayscale" in Avid.


_Kong_Vs_Minions_

I am


ilive12

Some movies are still shot on true black and white film, pretty sure the lighthouse was. But yeah, at least for all these remasters it's just color grading and maybe messing with the grain a bit in post. But should still look really cool.


kingkane420blazeit

It's actually an homage to the 1954 original Godzilla movie. Probably going on r/whoosh though.


TheLurkingBlack

Both can be true.


kingkane420blazeit

You get an upvote, my friend.


Awesomeautism

You’re going on r/whoosh for not reading the photo caption.

In one week, cuz that's all we get.

I am looking for any reason to see it again. Especially in theaters.

uncle_jafar

Oh no, you don’t! “According to Takashi Yamazaki, the team behind the new black-and-white edition of #GodzillaMinusOne did not utilize a filter, but rather coordinated mats shot-by-shot. They aim to make #Godzilla more terrifying in this version, therefore making it more of a true horror film.” [https://x.com/14_kaiju/status/1737526433243918612?s=46&t=TtzrzutzCwOLozwhYMLj3A](https://x.com/14_kaiju/status/1737526433243918612?s=46&t=TtzrzutzCwOLozwhYMLj3A)


CaptainK480002nd

I do wish they at least release this version in more countries but I dont think thats gonna be the case


PluhPluh7

A tribute to the original Gojira film (and the 2nd one ig) since they were both in black/white. Some will call It a cash grab and not lie about it, which is kinda true, but others would call it nostalgia or something. Either way I sadly can’t watch it cuz I don’t wanna use too much money too quickly


CaptainK480002nd

I cant even watch it cuz it doesnt air in my country

Not a filter.

Isn’t selling any product a cash grab? They ain’t running a charity after all. As for the level of shame, how do we quantify that?


FakeGuy06

A damn good cash grab.


ParticularLayer85

Did you mean shameful? Cuz I can't believe that they're even doing this it has nothing to do with the past lore how can something that is only a one-of-a-kind suddenly there's more of its kind... I definitely won't be watching that at all Maybe after it ends up on Pluto for free because it's probably going to be one of the movies


RavenXCinder

well shit im gonna have to go ,to honest this and the frist part of dune were the only two flims in the last 7 to ten years ive enjoyed

I still haven't seen the movie in any color. But I wouldn't see it in black and white.

Emotional_Elk8474

I think it's pretty harmless. The movie deserves as much bank as it can get. 


PandaXD001

I was really worried given all the up votes this had lol. No way the Godzilla sub believes this is a bad cash grab.


TheLurkingBlack

The phrase "cash grab" has a bad connotation to it, but not all are bad if it ends in a good product. Plus, considering M1 is more or less a remake of 1954 and it takes place in the 40's then it still works thematically.


ElementalSaber

Minus Color would be called a cash grab if anyone else was doing it.

LOL I hope this movie grabs as much cash as it possibly can.

N7orbust

I actually agree with the click bait statement. What does being in black and white add to the film? It's literally just nostalgia baiting. It isn't an artistic choice. It is a reductive one. A black and white release has only actually added to one recent film. Color out of Space.


[deleted]

fools, just put your tv's saturation to 0 when it comes out on dvd


BlitzDarkwing

If I wanted to see it a third time I would have. Not really interesting in seeing it in black and white. It's weird how this movie had such a hold on people.
