Of course, the difference is also very big. The biggest difference is that it can't compare with the original Japanese version at all. The original Japanese version has a profound social background, and the perfect game setting has been more cruel human conflicts, while the American movie is just a popular action movie in the style of a video game.
In terms of characterization, the movie cannot be compared with the real Battle Royale. After watching the whole movie, the only impressed character is the British murderer played by Pooh Jones. He is the only one I know in the whole movie. actor. And the protagonist, who seems to be a wrestler, has mediocre acting skills to heinous. The characters set in the film do not appear in the movie works who are recognized to be able to beat Chinese people. I am afraid that China will be labeled as insulting to China, right?
To say what I learned from this typical popcorn movie is that it evoked some fond memories of the movie. The film has imitated Battle Royale in the plot setting, and there is nothing new in the background setting. It is nothing more than accusing the evil capitalist media of unscrupulous means in order to chase ratings. Twenty years ago, there was already a classic version that was far superior to the film in terms of connotation and content. And there is more than one, such as "Passing the Pass" starring California Governor Schwarzenegger, and another example is the French film "Game of Death" starring Geral Lanfan. These two films are extremely enjoyable even if they are taken to watch now.
All in all, for a veteran commercial movie fan like me, this movie clearly appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time, the time error is about 20 years, and the location error is as far as from Japan to the United States.
