Or actually the english titel is Battle Royale. Anyone seen this movie ? it leaves you with a certain amount of "emptyness" but still some kind of uplifting feeling.. very hard to describe. Easily one of the best movies i've seen..
discuss! |

Indeed, this was one of the greatest films I've ever seen, and the director's cut is even better.
I was left with an impression similar to yours: an empty uplifting feeling. It did make me sit back and think for a while about what I had just seen, and I'm now looking forward to reading the book, in order to understand a few things the film didn't cover.
It's funny how either people get this greater impact, or they think it's just gore. In fact, when I got it, I didn't expect it to be so deep psychologically.
Although, like any other piece of fiction, it does cover the "fantastic" in a very surreal way. I mean, how the hell did Kiriyama manage to do that right in the beginning, with the machine gun?

I'm going to see it next weekend - from what I've read, it sounds awful (check Wikipedia to know what I mean). If you want some help finding it, PM me :) |

the second movie is only really worth watching if you want to be able to say you've sat down and watched both films. its complete turd. the whole film is about the teenagers rebelling against 'adults'. which is all well and good, but don't the little s realise that soon they will be the thing they're fighting?
:conf:
utter turd about terrorism and shiz. avoid unless you just wanna say you've seen it :p |

the first battle royale ftw ... the secone one isnt that great.....it kinda takes away from the first one......i didnt like it that much......the whole concept is to kill EACHOTHER off....the 2nd is more about war between 2 groups...

I was going to watch that film last week, but I thought it would be better to take some time between Suicide Club and Battle Royale.
However, all the reviews I've read about Suicide Club were rather negative: there's the first shocking scene (with the schoolgirls) and it's all downhill from there. Except for one person who said the film was about relationships, which would make it interesting to me. |
