He stumbled out of the classroom and met his childhood sweetheart, Akimoto Ichika (played by Yamazaki Hirona), who also temporarily escaped from the dead.

The levels that consider physical strength, intelligence and imagination come one after another, and Shun, Ichika, and Takeshi Amiya (played by Ryunosuke Kamiki), who exudes the breath of death all over their body, meet the great change of fate...
First, it's a movie based on the manga of the same name. In fact, there are many adaptations of comics, such as "The Land of Dying", "Sweet Homeland", etc. Basically, it's very cool to watch~ I feel that this one will definitely not be too bad. Another reason is that I'm looking for works in the "Battle Royale" series. Starting from Takeshi Kitano's "Battle Royale", "Battle Royale" has become a kind of "culture".
Back to topic. Let's start from the very beginning of the video~
The three main characters in the film are introduced at the beginning. The lines are a bit mid-two, and there will be some mid-two plots or dialogues in the follow-up. After all, it is adapted from a comic, after all, it is a work from 2014.
With the dice, we entered the opening scene, and the picture first pulled up from the feet of the body of a female student. (Ah~ is it so exciting as soon as it comes up?) Of course, the opening needs to be like this.
The opening is the first game, it is a tumbler, a bit similar to 1,2,3, a wooden man. It turns back, if you move, it will directly head BOOM~
As the game progresses, Satake (Shota Someya) discovers the buttons and countdown behind the tumbler. When only him and the protagonist Takahata Shun (Fushi Sotai) were left, he let Takahata Shun (Fushi Sotai) fly over and press the button on his back.
Takahata Shun (Fushi Sotai) pressed the button smoothly, and the time stopped for the last second. However, when the two celebrated. Satake (Shota Someya) was headshot, only Takahata Shun (Fushi Sota) survived, God is just joking~ It is said that only those who press the button can survive.
Takahata Shun (Fushi Sotai) came out of the classroom and met Akimoto Ichika (Yamazaki Hirona), a childhood sweetheart. Both are survivors of the class. The next step is to enter the gym, where there are other surviving people.
Also entered the next game of this PART~
It is a giant man-eating lucky cat. The only way to pass is to throw the bell ball into the basket around the cat's neck. In order to get in, the two outsmart the bell, which is to hide the bell and then throw. (Not much spoilers~ This piece~)
It's a pity that the shot failed, but Tiangu Wuyue (Takanosuke Shenmu) made a timely remedy and made a last-second shot ~ Immediately after the game passed, the Lucky Cat only announced that only the three of them survived.
Amiya Takeshi (Kamiki Ryunosuke) directly kills the other surviving people and publishes his own Chunkyi manifesto. At this point, the first round is all over. The movie is in transition ~~~
Familiar techniques, use "news" to introduce background and the like~
A cube appeared in the news footage, resembling an alien, or kami~
Waiting for Takahata Shun (Fushi Sotai) to wake up again, it is a new room and a new teammate. Then it was the death game again. A teammate who arrogantly said that he was looking forward to the start of the next game hung up at the beginning. Good guy, you can tell by looking at the protagonist's expression. It's a bit miserable~
Look for it yourself in the follow-up~ Whether it is wit or human nature, it is inseparable from "Battle Royale". "Listen to the Words of God" has a lot of abrupt points, of course, it has a lot to do with the original comic book, and there are many "easter eggs" left, it can be seen that the second part is planned. However, it does not affect viewing it as a "cool movie" like "Sweet Homeland". Of course, it is not as cool as "Sweet Homeland". The opening part is obviously very tasty, and the latter part is a little less exciting, as if to "value" and "talk about human nature", but it is not satisfactory.
This is understandable, the second part can make up for it~ Give me a taste~
The countdown at the end does not count down like before, going to the last second. That's good. The "countdown" can arouse the audience's emotions, but if they are the same, they will be boring~
In short, I can give it a pass~ As a work that is also an adaptation of comics, it may be limited by the duration and so on. In order to pave the way for the sequel, there are many abrupt places, but it can still bring me a "cool" feeling , I can read it in one go. This is enough, as for "human nature", "Listen to the Words of God", brother, you can rely on me later~
For resources, pay attention to the public account "Xia Qihai". If you have any good suggestions, you can also send me a private message~
