Toda Ichizu insists that this is a depiction of human nature. In my opinion, Shinji Fukasaku has no interest in dealing with people's "humanity" pleasures. It is the intention of this film to vent disgust and distrust towards adults. The world is in chaos, the country has fallen, social crises, and people's riots, all of which are caused by the useless adults who hold the world power. They were unconfident, scorned and killed each other, and then killed their next generation in the process of old age and death year after year, but shamelessly put all the charges on the children's heads, so the BR Act "came into being" .
——BR Act is the general name of "New Century Education Reform Act". The so-called BR Act is to dispel the resentment of citizens against the collapse of schools and vicious crimes against despicable teenagers; in order to train teenagers to overcome all kinds of difficulties in adversity, and thus obtain the ability to survive with perseverance; The adults took back the rights that belonged to them.
This kind of grandiose excuse is what adults are good at. A game is a game, and even if it rises to the national will, it cannot get rid of the malignant nature of the game. Fukasaku's "Battle Royale" has a strong air of anarchism, and anti-nation can be regarded as its hidden symbol. Cannibalism has never been Japanese nationality, and for that alone, I remain silent. Teacher Kitano was struck by students, stabbed, left the school humiliated, and then went back into battle under the protection of force. Violence is the only way to maintain dignity. Under such conditions, Kitano gained the students' fear of himself and the ridiculous right to take their lives hastily. Guoxin died in the "mobilization meeting" before the game started, including another girl who was unfortunate and lucky to be the victim of killing chickens to show monkeys. Said that they were lucky because they were spared the slaughter that followed, and said that they were unfortunate because they were completely mocked by the lost, but it was not the way to die.
It should be said that the setting of the game is interesting, and the cute appearance of my sister as the introducer is also encouraging, although it is a death game, it is not pretending to be deep. As the government treats his army, always smiling and making long empty promises of a short-term end to the war, masquerading as the kindness of a motherland. Three days, when the game is over.
Battle Royale is a watered-down war, and war is life and death. Human nature is too eloquent to talk about it. Survival is an instinct. To survive on the battlefield is to kill. It is understandable. If anyone thinks war is cruel, then please don't watch international news and don't understand this world with peace and development as the theme by any means. Movies can be labeled as 15 banned, but the war in Iraq can be staged alive in front of babies. This is not good for adults. "At this time, what do you think adults should say to children?" Kindness exists, and it can even be said that it exists in everyone, but not everyone can be sheltered by kindness. Even if these people choose to What's wrong with "don't want to sit still"? The contest between Nakagawa and Kitano is not a contest of good and evil, but an exchange of goodness and goodness. Nakagawa's kindness can feel Kitano's helplessness, and it can make Kitano's thought obtain a moment of profound redemption. Evil is ultimately surrendered to good. But all this has nothing to do with war, which can never be characterized as good or evil.
Personally, I am more interested in "Battle Royale 1 Tokyo Jihad". First of all, it was because of the intervention of Takeshi Kitano, which undoubtedly enriched the image of "Teacher Kitano", and the film created a situation of getting better and better from the beginning. "Song of the Soul" is not so lucky. From the aspect of the teacher alone, it is much inferior. This is a problem of the actor's temperament. I have no good feelings for the vampire-like man in black this time, and the tense atmosphere has also been disturbed. Stirred to nothing. Perhaps it was because of familiarity with the game's routine that the process before landing became dull. Fortunately, I saw Sh?go Oshinari, the pale and beautiful boy who appeared in "All About Lily Zhou".
Secondly, the "distrust" in "Song of the Soul" was abruptly diluted, which is the main reason. The students became more "bad", with complex compositions, surly personalities, exaggerated appearances, and forced to wear military camouflage, all of which lost the shock of school uniforms, pranks, and normal life falling apart in an instant in hindsight. One-to-one death, while accelerating the rate of death, also begins to dissolve the meaning of death. The topic of discussion in the film is at an icy stalemate. It is not easy to agree that Qiyuan became a terrorist. This kind of change is extremely unnatural, and it is difficult to describe because he is too lazy to say it. At this time, I began to miss the basketball game (compared to the dirt rugby game), photos and cookies (compared to the autographed rugby), Kitano's expressionless face (compared to the black man's porcelain teeth grin) in "Tokyo Jihad", Missing weird weapons, unknowns, dreams, umbrellas in the rain, distrust, unintentional mistakes, lighthouses, broadcasting, restricted areas, BR aerobics, Kitano's paintings, water guns, back from the dead, memories, last words...
Kao Tian asked I, will this kind of game participate? I was honest, so I said frankly—it’s hard to say, but I’d like to be the mastermind behind the camera, like Fukatsuki Kinji.
