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.

Battle Royale II quotes

  • The Prime Minister: Hey, teacher, what a mess, huh? Who do you think fired those missiles? We finally pissed that country off! I just got a call from their president. They're going to attack in 12 hours. What the hell's going on with your class? What are you waiting for? So what if a dozen kids die, it doesn't matter! Fire a missile and blow up the whole damned island!

    Sensei: You really mean that?

    The Prime Minister: You surprise me. I thought you were a full-fledged adult who'd cross the line a long time ago. You do understand, there are only two sides, the winners and losers.

    [Riki looks down then starts simmering]

    The Prime Minister: Which side are you on? Fight with that country for justice and freedom...

    Sensei: [interrupting] Cut the crap, you murderer!

    [throws chair]

    The Prime Minister: Huh, what?

    Sensei: Half a century ago, that country compared ours to a 12-year-old. How old does that make that country now? If any country pisses it off, it just bombs them. You call that adult behavior?

    The Prime Minister: Listen, the whole world's rallied by that country.

    Sensei: And who made that choice?

    The Prime Minister: So what the hell are you doing here?

    [Riki unzips his coat and reveals his necklace]

    The Prime Minister: I see. Too bad. I had hopes for you.

    [Riki looks furious. Prime Minister removes his glasses then we get a close up of him]

    The Prime Minister: Exercising my full power as Prime Minister, I call upon the armed forces. Prepare for battle immediately. Before that country launches its missiles. I want every last terrorist and Nanahara Shuya, *dead*.

    Lieutenant Anjo: Attention! Salute!

    [Riki furiously throws an object at the Prime Minister's screen. Prime Minister ducks for safety. Riki walks away]

  • Shuya Nanahara: How much blood has been shed? How many tars spilled? All of our friends who fought beside us are dead, killed in the last three years. But even as justice can never be vanquished, we terrorists will never vanish, however evil they deem us. Because we know, that a handful of adults, a handful of 'nature' selfishly define the nature of peace as freedom in this world. But our world is so much more complex that. This world has 63 Billion people living their own lives, living 63 billion different ways, 63 billion kinds of peace, 63 billion kinds of concepts of what is "good", 63 billion kinds of war and evil. No one has achieved peace without fighting for it.

    [Picks up torch and points it to screen]

    Shuya Nanahara: Behind every peace, there's a river of blood, sweat and tears. But if we avert our eyes from that history and abandon it, then peace might as well be dog shit.

    Sensei: Dog shit, huh...?

    Shuya Nanahara: [flag waves and we see children playing with the students] Japan, China, North Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Grenada, Libya, El Slavador, Panama, Bolivia, Kuwait, Sudan, Somalia...

    Nao Asakura: Where's Takuma?

    [looks up and sees Takuma smiling]

    Shuya Nanahara: ...Afghanistan.

    [moves closer to screen]

    Shuya Nanahara: You may be lonely, but it's time to stop being afraid. To all the abandoned children on earth, Let's rise up together and fight together!

    [picks up AK-47]

    Shuya Nanahara: We're throwing away the old rules, taking of to a place far, far away! Tonight, I send this message to all the adults who stole our freedom and pinned us down. Merry Christmas. Wild Seven and Nanahara Shuya.

    [a missile is fired and Wild Seven Tower goes down]
