Deception, betrayal, and killing each other are actually happening around us every day. The battle royale is only a tit-for-tat and unreserved representation of the tit-for-tat in our lives, which is why it seems so perverted and cruel. I think the reason why the screenwriter set the protagonist of the story on a junior high school student is that children at that time were a slightly stained but much whiter piece of paper than adults, who just realized the ugliness and darkness of society. And the whole process of "game" is a microcosm of the process of our understanding of this cruel society.
After watching the whole film, the first impression is that it is like a survival manual. Each character's character represents a personal characteristic in the society, and it also tells him the process of death and the speed of elimination. So I immediately re-read it again, and summed it up in the running account~: The
first type
of characters in the student society who were killed by the teacher first : Those who do not think through the brain, violate the rules of the game, and those who do not have a plan are with the "enemy" "Powerful forces resist, act impulsive, irrational and reckless.
Elimination method: be strangled in the cradle of revolution, and be embarrassed by perverted bosses in every possible way.
Remarks: People who have only brute force, no tactics, brains, and a fluke mentality will eventually be defeated by their own impulses. Therefore, in society, even if the terms of the overlord and the perverted leader, the head-on conflict is relatively It is difficult for the disadvantaged groups to have a good ending.
The second type
of characters in the cliff-jumping couple society: weak, unable to accept the cruel reality, neither hurting others nor protecting themselves, irresponsible to those around them.
Elimination method: Defeated without a fight
Remarks: The most cowardly method, I don't think I need to say more, four words are sure to die. .
The third type
of characters in the Soma Mitsu society: always put their own interests first. For such people, there are only cold-blooded animals with no emotions. Once they encounter something about their own interests, they will show their true appearance. A person who has a clear goal and will do anything to achieve this goal.
Elimination method: Although you can defeat certain competitors, but because you usually make enemies everywhere, you will be defeated by people who are more capable than him, or will be defeated by desperate people who are forced by him to join forces.
Remarks: Although vital interests are important, you must not make enemies everywhere. You must also distinguish between enemies and friends, and be kind to others.
The fourth type of Chikusa (running girl)
character in the society: keep her pace unchanged, be extremely rational, unaffected by emotions and the outside world, and uncompromising. Once he touches the part of his inscription, he will not recognize him.
Elimination method: Competitors who are more capable than him
Remarks: The courage to never compromise is admirable, but in such a society with cold interests, sometimes it is necessary to compromise, or to leave a way out.
The fifth category of Inner Sea and some others (the girls in the lighthouse):
Characters in society : Incapable of resisting but will protect themselves, there is actually selfishness in forming alliances with others, at critical moments, only for self-preservation
Elimination methods: Infighting, killing each other with friends.
The sixth type of Nakamura (three people who destroy the system)
characters in society: the ultimate savior, the one who solves the problem at the root, and who is the ultimate victor if there is no dramatic murderous mob.
Elimination method: Although it has strength, it ignores the ability to protect itself.
Note: The winning team must have wise leaders and loyal soldiers. Simply put, strength is the last word.
The three victorious people in the seventh category
have different strengths, but they all have the same characteristics. Forming an alliance is based on the principle of not committing crimes and not committing crimes, killing people when forced to kill them.
Reasons for winning: Compassion and wisdom, good interpersonal relationships and moderate character.
I won’t say much about other too perverted and dramatic characters like thugs here, because the principle that society can’t tolerate people who are too obtrusive is clear to everyone
. The rules of the “game” in life are far more cruel than the perverted laws. Much more complicated, the only one who can stand out in this killing should be as the film tells us at the end: "In any case, run!"
