The film is listed as 15 banned in Japan, and some people in China call it a "perverted film". For its fame, I watched it on Internet TV, and it turned out that I liked it very much. The reason the film is limited is mainly because of the blood and violence in it - fortunately I can fully accept it, especially if I have seen some really bloody things before - but the subject matter it involves, the humanity it reflects is only It is the main reason for shocking and avoiding the audience. In fact, the plot of the film itself is still anti-violence, just as "Battle Royale 2" is about war, but it is against war. It is derived from this that the ideological and personalities of the protagonists Qiyuan Qiyuan and Noriko Nakagawa are what the movie really praises. However, perhaps the director wanted to express too many things. The most dazzling and impressive characters in this cruel story are other characters, such as the indifferent and bloodthirsty murderer Kazuo Kiriyama, and the melancholy boy Sugimura who is infatuated and refined. Hiroki, the mature and reliable hot-blooded fighter Kawada Shogo, the smart and calm genius hacker Nobuyoshi Mimura, the ruthless and tenacious femme fatale Mitsuko Soma, the beautiful and persistent stubborn girl Takako Chikusa... Really gorgeous and colorful creatures on the desert island. I remember the most shocking scene when I watched this movie - the moment when the "Battle Royale" winning girl had a bloody face but nervously smiling at the beginning of the movie, I really shuddered. The cruel and absurd "BR Act" gave The crushing devastation brought on by teenagers is revealed at the beginning of the story.

    If I look at it for the first time after two years, what is the score at that time, what I have become. It is better to think about the parallel space, what kind of life is you living in a certain world? If nothing has changed since the beginning, what state would I be now...

    Like to explore human nature in such an extreme way, the Japanese are simply geniuses in this aspect of perversion. The film is full of metaphors, but the expression is vague, and many details are also puzzling. I always feel that the director has wasted a little bit of the script, which can definitely be made better. Well, this is an alternative work.
