I really don't understand what this movie is about?

Compared to the battle royale, this movie is far worse. The actor's acting skills are exaggerated. The white-haired man expresses his anger by staring and roaring. Teacher RIKI is like a patient with mental problems. The output of the students selected to participate in the game at the beginning basically depends on roaring. The plot line is vague, and I can't tell what story the movie tells right now. Is it about the students going to the island to kill Qihara Qiuya? Is it about youth's resistance to adults? Is it about the birth of terrorism? The motives of the characters are unknown. What is the reason why Qiyuan Qiuya formed an anti-BR law team? Why did the white-haired man decide to defect to Qiyuan Qiyuan? What was Qiyuan Akiya's closing speech? The characters were flat, and after watching the movie, I only remembered the white-haired man, the girl who liked the white-haired man, Qiyuan Qiyuan who suddenly turned into a terrorist, and the teacher with a pompous expression. The other characters did not leave any impression on me. Compared with the wonderful group portraits in the first part: a high-spirited student who just wants to finish his studies quickly, the cruel and unscrupulous photon who doesn’t want to sit still, and Qiancao who still doesn’t give up running practice even in the game, he is kindhearted and just wants to see his love Sugimura on the girl's side, the lighthouse team that killed each other because of mutual suspicion, and the crazy transfer students who just wanted to participate in the killing game, and the technical team who didn't want to sit still and crack the code of the collar, etc. Task shaping is too poor. The only place where the whole movie feels innovative may be the collar pairing, where one party dies or explodes over a fixed distance. But this was also useless after the student group arrived on the island and was rescued by the Qiuya team, so this setting was of no use. All in all, this is an inexplicable war movie in the name of "Battle Royale", but with a crappy narrative about children fighting against the world of adults.
