After watching this film, the first impression: bloody! The chain on the neck exploded, it was horrible. "I haven't done anything yet." When your companion dies, you blow yourself up. ---In the face of imminent death, exclaiming in fear, pale and weak, are useless.
42 poor students in self-imposed exile had no way out the moment they got in the car after a football game. To be the one who is born to win, or the one who chooses to die and lose? There is no room for choice outside the white line, there is no retreat, and fighting is the only answer. Boy No. 15 firmly refused to hold the football tightly, even if he died-----because the football was written "Nakama" (companion).
What is terrorism? Battle Royale, a game for adults and kids. Who sets the rules of the game? Congress? Prime Minister? President? battle after battle.
Takeuchi, the commanding teacher who behaved a little perverted, actively participated in the game because his daughter Nakagawa Noriko was killed by Qiyuan Qiyuan. Wearing the No. 10 jersey, he was the only one who left with a smile in front of the countdown to death, and when he was dying, he threw himself into the water with a smile.
Shiori Kitano, the daughter of teacher Kitano, refused to go to school just because the girl in her father's painting was not her, and refused her father's concern. Her indifference forced her father to commit suicide. She wanted to die, she chose to fight, and was the only volunteer in this game. She didn't understand, she wanted to find an answer. Even if he pointed a gun at his companion, he didn't want him to act rashly and die in vain. However, after seeing the last terrorist, I understand that nothing will be forgotten. With remorse for not calling out her father again, she fought to the end and died.
Why is there a fight? What is all this about?
I am reminded of the tragedy in 1902 when 199 people were killed in a strong snowstorm in Hakkoda Mountain, Aomori. That was the Japanese army training in the cold field before the Russo-Japanese War, and forced the march. I remembered the experience of Higashiyama Kaii when he enlisted in the army during World War II and hit an armored vehicle with a bomb strapped to his body. There is infinite sadness in my heart: people are so helpless and have no choice in the face of war. But why is there war?
The man who directed the war, the man who participated in the war. Abandoned those who refused to participate in the war, killed others who survived, and died innocent people.
Aoi's older sister, the survivor of the first game, faced her own younger brother, who was the opponent in this battle, without firing a shot. Kitano was trapped in a circle in order to save a little girl. Togo in the explosion. The immobile body, the smile to the companion before death. . These are the human highlights of this violent film. It's these flashes that make this heavy grey film worth reflecting on.
In the blood, countless candlelights adorned the figure of the isolated island, and the candlelight of stars reflected the recovery of human nature. Nothing will be forgotten: former companions and this history that will not be forgotten even if we return.
Obviously, the film BR2 is a reflection on the war in Japan since World War II, as well as a reflection on the psychology of the two generations involved in it. It also guides people who are lost after the war to choose their future path with hope.
Akiya Nanhara, who was called a terrorist by adults, was originally a cowardly student. But he said after all this: he wants to see everyone's smile, everyone has their own dreams, their own way of living, their own peace. Even if they have their own wars.
It seems that the "gods" on the one hand lead their children to wage war in the name of peace, and call it holy war. On the other hand, I want this war to be a personal holy war, a war that is meaningful to the individual: you are not alone in the fight, you have companions, you have supporters, and you need to fight for hope.
Even so, it's just a consolation. The killing game between adults and children should never have started, should it? Pointless wars should never have
happened , should they? Aren't we all "Nakama" (companions) in this blue global village? !
Leaving a sad dog-tailed sable ending.
BR2, if it's not a win-win, it's a total loser.
