American version of Battle Royale

When watching death row prisoners, at the beginning, just from the very beginning, I thought this was the American "Battle Royale".

I think, I described the battle royale scene on my blog. November 10, 2006.

I said, there, the flowers of death are blooming enchantingly and wantonly, I said, I stared at the screen and shed tears.

But death row inmates don't have such a rhythm. It's a real fight. It doesn't have the kind of feminine sentimentality that can be created in Japan. Its toughness makes the picture look like "lost".

Only ten of the death row inmates killed each other, and they themselves were death row inmates. The last one who survives can be free.

This is a show, at least from the perspective of the planning participants and the thousands of people who pay to watch live online killings, this is just a show.

They have forgotten that before death row prisoners are mortal, they are first and foremost a person, a person who still has the right to live no matter how heinous is. They are not humble enough to be played with.

The online hit rate of this live broadcast eventually exceeded 40 million, and it was paid to watch.

Are so many people clicking because of the cruelty and bloodlust in our nature? If so, it's really, really sad, everyone who pays to watch is a murderer.

At the end of the story, only two people are left alive: one is a secret staff member of the National Security Agency who has become a death row prisoner for national tasks, and the other is a beautiful woman who has been preventing the live broadcast from going on.

Yes, even the show's planners and participants died.

What an ideal ending, where justice is done? Considering human life as a must, the end must also be death? However, in the end, so many people have died...
