I have relaxed a lot of unreasonable assumptions for this movie, but I still can’t stop this bad movie from complaining about it.

I have never been an unreasonable person, and I am more tolerant of unreasonable shots. For example, the heroine in Bill killed several people, but she was safe on the plane with a big knife, and so on. So suppose we can accept that Wild Seven’s base is openly built on such an easily attacked island (Uncle Deng didn’t dare to do that), and suppose we can accept that their firepower is so strong that they can’t be attacked for a long time, but after watching this movie Still trembling with anger by his chaotic logic and wasted time.

The beginning of the film is a small terrorist attack. It is reasonable for us to assume that within three years, two wanted teenagers will form a powerful terrorist organization. But why did the two kind-hearted children who wanted to overthrow this system suddenly ignorant of civilians playing terrorist attacks? Well, suppose this is also reasonable, suppose this is what they think is justice. In a head-on confrontation with another group of students, the male protagonist suddenly thoughtfully carried out a deep reflection. I didn't understand a word of what they were reflecting on. I can only guess what they mean. Then the biggest question here is whether their terrorist attacks are justified. I feel that the director may not have thought about it clearly. At first, he didn't advocate it, but later he acquiesced in justice. Regardless of this point, the smiles of the Afghan children are also inexplicably drunk. My understanding is that although Afghanistan is training for war, the starting point of the terrorists in Afghanistan is for the freedom of the people, so even if the innocent people are killed indiscriminately, even if it is more dangerous there, the children are still smiling. Well, let me think that the director has this intention. Then the protagonist declares war. This is the first time I have grown to see this inexplicably declare war. According to the protagonist, it was a declaration of war on the world. I did not see the logic, purpose and significance of the protagonist’s declaration of war. It's better if you want to declare war on your own government. At least we understand that you are a resistance to inhumanity. But what the hell is it for you to declare war on the whole world. Interspersed with scenes of inexplicable quarrel between the heroine and his father and the second man's parents sending him to school during the period. None of the shit words that make sense can be understood. The purpose may be to reflect the conflict between adults and children, but I think it is silly and inexplicable to use this kind of mess as a logical entry point for war. Is it only the Japanese that can think of it? Then after saying a bunch of things that I didn't understand, a merry Christmas came suddenly. In short, before the audience's consternation had not eased, the prime minister appeared and announced that the island would be blown up, otherwise he would go to war with the United States. I tried my best on this, but I really can't understand it. . . Two problems arise from this area. The first one is, isn't it easy for you to throw a missile early to solve the problem? Another problem is that since you want to use the school’s students to destroy the base, you also pair them and make them easy to die. Apart from advancing the plot development speed, I can’t think of any inner reason. All in all, the war has officially begun. Then the head teacher turned over. Let me understand that he was moved, and the rationality of this is being analyzed later. Then we found him wearing a collar around his neck. This inexplicable move not only increases the probability of death
Then there is war. Under the dim light, everyone looked so similar and wore the same clothes. It's hard for you to see who died, and then those messy names. Anyway, you didn't remember who was who. Many names were only heard when they died for the first time.
After various protagonists chatted unsuspectingly without any enemy coming to attack, and various other unreasonable but silently accepted battle plots, only two men and a heroine were born. Then I ran into the head teacher. Teacher, it hurts to wash white. "My daughter also died in a terrorist attack. We have no way out. I really want to play rugby now." Then I pounced into the pool and exploded. Teacher, did you wash white? Huh? The circle around the teacher's neck is still an unsolved mystery.
Then the protagonists entered the tunnel. Then I don't know why the missile came at this time, or how they escaped the missile and left the island.
Anyway, they all arrived in Afghanistan in the end, eh.
Then after a bunch of inexplicable conversations, the two boys each took their friends and went in different directions. The director here aims to show the feeling of being friends everywhere. But this is so unreasonable and inconsistent with reality. I don't see any benefit or necessity of separate actions.
The most irritating thing is that the whole movie has to explain a certain educational philosophy, but the last talk is some incomprehensible things, like you squatting in the toilet for a long time with a stomachache, but you find that you can’t pull anything out, and then continue to return to the bed to cover it. The same as the belly. A bad film that lasted more than two hours, and it regenerated for more than two hours after watching it. It's already more than four in the morning, but even then I decided to write a film review. Although I haven't slept at nearly six, I feel better in my heart.

    I can't find the feeling at the time when I took a look at the empty one with the buns! I won't watch it in the future~

    Fukasaku Kenta is also the screenwriter of the first film. How did he make the second film like this, secretly changing the concept to render terrorism, and a powerless Hollywood-style shootout. If it weren't for this, it would be considered the last work of Shinji Fukasaku, I just wanted to swear.

Battle Royale II quotes

  • Shuya Nanahara: We declare war on all adults!

  • Takuma Aoi: We never had anywhere we could go. I knew that all along. Or any place to go home to! This is war right? You're all fighting for your lives! But die and you're just one more candle! Even those poor little kids. You're all the same. You're no better than the adults!

    Shuya Nanahara: How I wish this war would end. I keep on asking myself. How can I answer all those who have died? I don't know... But inevitably, we'll all grow up to be adults. The best survivors can do, is to keep remembering the ones who 'died.' Always and forever. Even after we grow up.
