Wanna tell u that I have added some pics on my gallery (just click the link on the bottom left of this page), and u have to notice that some of the images are the snapshots of Battle Royale cult film. Lately, I am one of the fans, not fanatic though; just love the idea of the mercilessly killing between the students. For those who don’t know what Battle Royale is all about then u would have to find it urself, and then u would feel the sense of a Battle Royale. But, let me tell u a bit of the story. Battle Royale is a system carried out by Japan govt. to educate the students, and form them into a generation, which the people can rely on. Because somehow it’s depicted there that the young generation has turned into sum what irresponsible being, expensive children, useless spoiled brat. The system is carried out annually to seek the most eligible students among the students in the class, which becomes the model of the project. A certain 9th grade class within the country will be selected to apply the system. It is very simple. You just have to kill each other, and becoming the survivor. Three days, and only one should survive, if more than one survive then the deadly collar will explode, and no one will survive.
In Battle Royale, a smash controversial cult movie in Japan in 2000 because the explicit content of harsh and violence visuals, gore actions, 41 students were sent to an island in a middle of the sea to join the system. They were given packs of stuffs to survive within three days, including random selected weapons to protect themselves from their friend. Be the sole survivor of the game, the rule is there is no rule, just kill and make urself alive in the 3rd day. Check ur local video rental to watch the movie, and tell me.
Following the success of the first Battle Royale, came the Battle Royale II: The requiem in 2003. The rule is the same, but now with different class. That’s the tag line.
Why I am so hooked up by this flick, only one thing: controversy. I mean, can u kill ur best friend? While if u don’t kill him, then he would kill u, where’s the point anyway? Just prepare urself to see other side of ur best friend there.
One thing dude, if u r having problems with ur heart or whatever, don’t watch this movie.
