The BR Act is undoubtedly brutal and dehumanizing. The brutal and dehumanizing act was designed to deal with or wake up a group—the ignorant teenagers of that era.
I suppressed my incomprehensible doubts and continued to read.
So I saw a brutal and bloody game process under the rules of brutal inhumanity.
Regarding the good and evil of human nature, I thought of Chaplin's "Gold Rush" from this film. In the case of extreme food shortages, cannibalism occurs in order to survive. Also in order to survive, there is cannibalism among classmates in this film. However, if "The Gold Rush" is a representation of historical reality, then "Battle Royale" is a nightmare of thoughts. Human nature becomes distorted in the face of survival, interspersed with love and friendship between young men and women. Some people commented that the description of beautiful feelings in the film played a very good contrasting role, reflecting the good and evil sides of human nature, giving people a strong impact. I don't deny the existence of such an effect, but I feel that such emotional descriptions are not as powerful as the scenes of the junior high school basketball game interspersed among them, and the repeated depiction of this kind of youthful love seems very rigid.
There are three adult images in this film, Qiuye's father, Mitsuko's mother, and Kitano teacher. This is the representative of the previous generation who only appeared in the film. One committed suicide because of life, one sold his daughter because of life, and one stabbed his conscience because of life and executed the game of killing. This is the previous generation, "Qiu also worked hard", crying non-stop, using water guns to complete suicide wishes. I think this film directly points to the despair and helplessness of the adult world. It is a film for adults, not junior high or high school students. This film is an expression of dissatisfaction with the adult world order, and there is a certain incentive for the next generation. "The back waves of the Yangtze River urge the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach." Teacher Kitano's death reminded me of this sentence.
The film does have a persuasive meaning. By constantly describing the class basketball game to create a strong joyful atmosphere, in contrast to the social life reflected in the tragic battle of the winner's life and the loser's death, and using this kind of bloody preaching to modify the subconscious when ordinary preaching is ineffective, I feel that in the There may not be good results in the eyes of young audiences (over 15 years old).
There are absurd tones everywhere in the film, such as the athlete's marches and waltzes on the radio, such as the soldiers who were in a hurry after being hacked, and Kitano who got up calmly after being shot and fell to the ground. It's very risky, because it will ruin a complete storyline, but as I said before, the film itself is confusing, and it is appropriate to add some nonsense. It also implies that this film is not a violent propaganda film, but a violent pill that entertains and educates.
What is the symbolic meaning of the knife that once stabbed Mr. Kitano? Why did she keep it and take the knife on a long journey? Why does Kitano's picture make her so beautiful?
If the effect of the drug exists, wait for it to slowly exert its effect in the body.
