Every boy in this movie looks like he is a character straight from anime. Man, I hate that hairstyle. Then and now.
Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games) says she was inspired to write The Hunger Games after the poverty she saw in Iraq during the war. Uh huh.
Is anyone else buying that bullshit?
Still a great movie 14 years later.
better than the hunger games because jennifer lawrence isn't in it
is it too EDGY to hate on jennifer lawrence on letterboxd.com? whatever im gonna do it anyway
EDIT: lost a follower for hating on jennifer lawrence but i dont care because im committed to the truth
Going on a school field trip has never fuckin' sucked so fuckin' bad. Sharing a Kodak moment with your friends. Waking up to a what-the-fuckin'-shit-hell-is-fuckin'-going-on nightmare. A fuckin' outrage as Professor Kitano takes over the class. No fuckin' talkin', not even a fuckin' whisper. A necklace that will fuck you up. Watching your best-mate's neck gush. The transfer students with two very different fuckin' agendas. Watch out, Death Note's finest will light you the fuck up with a pot lid. Mitsuko's smile. The way Kawada smokes. Kazuo, zero lines of dialogue and total fuckin' ownage. The boys from Anonymous try their fuckin' best to hack the system. Yummy spaghetti. The greatest fuckin' lunch ever served at a lighthouse. Kawada vs.…
Controversial Cult Classic, incredibly original and highly influential film that puts the Hunger Games to shame!
It has more than earned its reputation for its violence and brutality but the real star of the show is the diverse range of emotions and fears (Good and Bad) that are all too human!
Takeshi Kitano added some serious beaucoup depth and flavor to the film!
Naughty Approved!
Run.
When you've already presented the main plot on the table in the first five minutes, and the rest of it are mostly predictable, what do you use to drive your film forward while keeping it interesting?
Testicle mutilation.
Wait. No.
Characters. That's right. Characters. Good ones. The ones with depth. And director Kinji Fukasaku, or rather, author of the original novel -- Koushun Takami, delivers. 43 of 'em! (Including Kitano-sensei.) The hardest part of telling a story about teenagers stabbing, choking and shooting each other is to make the audience care about them. Once that obstacle is crossed, what we have is an emotional, intense, shocking and insane little cult classic.
What makes Battle Royale even more special is…
still seems like a severe method in which to teach kids that being an adult is mostly just a confusing mess of hurt feelings and horrifying violence. but who am i to judge?
In a dystopian future, the Government creates a law that places groups of young people onto a remote island where they must fight, stab, shoot, bludgeon etc. each other until only one is left. Great fun indeed and now I'll have to watch the sequel, The Hunger Games.
did anyone try the chicken and sweetcorn soup? i thought the chicken and sweetcorn soup was lovely
Don’t watch the English dub. I watched the first hour dinner and it is the worst thing I have ever heard. If you have prime don’t watch it on there just rent it or something because the dub is atrocious.
