      Death knows the answer - "Battle Royale" viewing experience

      I just finished watching an old Japanese film "Battle Royale" not long ago. It's not a horror movie, nor a war movie, but the title of the movie always makes me feel a sense of resistance. After reading the title of the movie and then reading the introduction on Baidu, there will be more resistance, but for the strong recommendation of the Japanese teacher, I endure it. Can't stop opening this movie. Fortunately, the scenes in which the students slaughtered each other did not have too many...

      run away, run away

      This is a story about cannibalism. This is a discussion about human nature. At the end of the film, Qiuya said to Noriko, "Let's run, Noriko." As long as you live, you can start over and change everything. And the price to pay in order to survive is too painful.
      The film has the unique way of talking about friendship and love in Japanese movies, and the dark and dark discussion mode. A warm female lead, a male lead who is a little weak but endlessly prosperous. As for what kind of story...

      Hi Photon, Goodbye Photon

      I'm blind and can't remember names. I can remember two of the boys and girls in this class, one is Photon and the other is a hooded man, the latter can't remember names.
      When the photon first appeared, I liked her very much, I liked her, not just admired her. She certainly won't live to the end, but she'll be able to stand up with blood on her hands. She uses everything around her as a weapon, she uses her sickle and pistol and discharger, she uses her smile and her hypocrisy to use...

      After watching it for many years, I still can't calm down for a long time in retrospect~~

      I watched "The Hunger Games" today, so I remembered this movie again. It's a masterpiece in my heart~
      What kind of opportunity is this for me to see this movie, what a lucky thing~
      If it weren't for the school's publicity department My senior sister secretly changed the movie arranged by the teacher for her own selfish desires, so I didn't have the chance to see it. Thanks to the propaganda department, I really saw a lot of classic movies. If I searched by myself, I really wouldn’t be...

      Compassion looking down

      I kept thinking, what would I do if I was in the game.

        But anyway, Takeshi Kitano is so cool. "If you hate a person, you have to pay the price." - This sentence is really powerful. Maliciousness will not be eliminated by itself. If the accumulated maliciousness is not drained, it will only be detonated. Takeshi Kitano's performance is really good, and he thoroughly shows an ordinary adult who doesn't understand life, an adult who is full of regrets and cannot save himself. An adult...

      The brain patch has been transformed. If the opening paragraph of the mysterious surviving smiling braces girl (Did Chen Sicheng borrow it!?) is changed to Nakagawa Noriko, one of the last survivors... and the last three ending short dreams. , the HE in the main body of the film is actually an extended version of the dream. The baby-faced Ryu Fujiwara, who has never changed, why doesn't he play Harry Potter or...

      Innocent people are always the most foolish. In this world, no one can love themselves more than themselves. do you know? So sometimes goodbye is not goodbye, but goodbye. If you don't want to kill each...

    Some people say that "Battle Royale" is a caricature of human nature. It seems that everything is caused by the so-called evil of human nature. This is completely wrong. If the theme of "Battle Royale" is to expose the so-called evil of human nature, then the protagonist of the movie will be someone else, and the ending will be another person. "Battle Royale" is a caricature of this society, and the isolated island in the movie is an...

    • Mitsuko: This is my weapon. I thought it was so-so, but actually, it's not so bad. Found Yoshimi and Kuramoto dead next door - strung up all cozy together. Not my scene! I'll never die like THAT!

    • Noriko Nakagawa: It's beautiful, even though it's where everyone died.

      Shuya: [silently turns and looks at her, walks away to Shougo] You can even steer a ship?

      Shougo Kawada: Sure, my dad was a fisherman. AHAHAHAHA.
