My watchbook: "Battle Royale 2 Soul Song"

Stone 2022-03-24 09:03:06

Most fans who like to watch "Battle Royale 1" will not accept this so-called second part. The shock of "Tokyo Holy War" to the audience is too great. The typical characters of all beings fighting for life in order to survive are everywhere, which makes people feel cold. What's left of "Song of Soul"? There are still collars that will blow up people and the more absurd BRII bill. There is still Qiyuan Qiyuan in a funny costume and turned into a terrorist leader. Takeshi Kitano, a murder teacher who lives in the memories of his daughter. However, the success of the first part did not depend on these alone. Powerful characters, different ways of living, and the nature of human beings exposed in such an environment are hard to find in this film; Song", it is far from being able to bring enough touch to people. A large number of students also lost their lives. Why do we feel heartache every time someone died in the first part; and seeing the children in the second part die in batches, my impression is only Are the numbers decreasing? I hope the director will seriously consider this issue.

    Fukasaku Kenta only learned the fur of his father Fukasaku Xinji, but did not get the essence, and made such a garbage.

Battle Royale II quotes

  • The Prime Minister: Hey, teacher, what a mess, huh? Who do you think fired those missiles? We finally pissed that country off! I just got a call from their president. They're going to attack in 12 hours. What the hell's going on with your class? What are you waiting for? So what if a dozen kids die, it doesn't matter! Fire a missile and blow up the whole damned island!

    Sensei: You really mean that?

    The Prime Minister: You surprise me. I thought you were a full-fledged adult who'd cross the line a long time ago. You do understand, there are only two sides, the winners and losers.

    [Riki looks down then starts simmering]

    The Prime Minister: Which side are you on? Fight with that country for justice and freedom...

    Sensei: [interrupting] Cut the crap, you murderer!

    [throws chair]

    The Prime Minister: Huh, what?

    Sensei: Half a century ago, that country compared ours to a 12-year-old. How old does that make that country now? If any country pisses it off, it just bombs them. You call that adult behavior?

    The Prime Minister: Listen, the whole world's rallied by that country.

    Sensei: And who made that choice?

    The Prime Minister: So what the hell are you doing here?

    [Riki unzips his coat and reveals his necklace]

    The Prime Minister: I see. Too bad. I had hopes for you.

    [Riki looks furious. Prime Minister removes his glasses then we get a close up of him]

    The Prime Minister: Exercising my full power as Prime Minister, I call upon the armed forces. Prepare for battle immediately. Before that country launches its missiles. I want every last terrorist and Nanahara Shuya, *dead*.

    Lieutenant Anjo: Attention! Salute!

    [Riki furiously throws an object at the Prime Minister's screen. Prime Minister ducks for safety. Riki walks away]

  • Shuya Nanahara: How much blood has been shed? How many tars spilled? All of our friends who fought beside us are dead, killed in the last three years. But even as justice can never be vanquished, we terrorists will never vanish, however evil they deem us. Because we know, that a handful of adults, a handful of 'nature' selfishly define the nature of peace as freedom in this world. But our world is so much more complex that. This world has 63 Billion people living their own lives, living 63 billion different ways, 63 billion kinds of peace, 63 billion kinds of concepts of what is "good", 63 billion kinds of war and evil. No one has achieved peace without fighting for it.

    [Picks up torch and points it to screen]

    Shuya Nanahara: Behind every peace, there's a river of blood, sweat and tears. But if we avert our eyes from that history and abandon it, then peace might as well be dog shit.

    Sensei: Dog shit, huh...?

    Shuya Nanahara: [flag waves and we see children playing with the students] Japan, China, North Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Grenada, Libya, El Slavador, Panama, Bolivia, Kuwait, Sudan, Somalia...

    Nao Asakura: Where's Takuma?

    [looks up and sees Takuma smiling]

    Shuya Nanahara: ...Afghanistan.

    [moves closer to screen]

    Shuya Nanahara: You may be lonely, but it's time to stop being afraid. To all the abandoned children on earth, Let's rise up together and fight together!

    [picks up AK-47]

    Shuya Nanahara: We're throwing away the old rules, taking of to a place far, far away! Tonight, I send this message to all the adults who stole our freedom and pinned us down. Merry Christmas. Wild Seven and Nanahara Shuya.

    [a missile is fired and Wild Seven Tower goes down]
