has "BR Battle Royale" in front of it. This teen popcorn entertainment film can still be so popular in the American continent and half the world, which really surprised me. Full of curiosity, I finally watched this film, although we already knew from the first time that this absolute No. 1 heroine must be the survivor of this round of Hunger Games, I did not think of the angry loser at the beginning of the film. Xiang's male protagonist will also come back alive with her. If the author of the original book has really seen the Japanese battle royale series, then I will also give him imagination and creativity. Basically, he adapts this Japanese style very subtly according to American ideas, values, especially business models. Intensely surreal themes; of course, the price of increased entertainment is a serious decline in intellectual depth and criticality. My deepest impression of the battle royale series, in addition to the three-dimensional and complete shaping of several main characters, is the weird and gloomy ideology unique to Japan that permeates it from beginning to end.
Americans can’t get rid of this kind of rush even if they are killed. With their cultural heritage, they can only make the truth clear with their mouths. For example, the president said the instruction that explained the main theme of the Hunger Games: the art of domination. The key is to remember to leave a little hope in the midst of man-made fear and hunger, and never give too much, otherwise they will slap their noses on their faces and see the hope that a single spark can start a prairie fire, and then they will rise up. Revolt, overturn the rules of the game you have worked so hard to establish, and then overthrow the rulers who made the rules. Hunger Games has played for so many times, which is equivalent to a dynasty that has lived for many years. Sooner or later, someone will see through this system, find loopholes, and attack it. What doesn't change is human nature. In this series, the heroine represents justice, but this justice is always relative. The justice represented by the ruling class and the ruling class are quite different and even opposite. If there is no natural defect of human nature, how can there be a distinction between the ruling class and the ruled class? There is also no fictional premise of Hunger Games. People are short-sighted, conformist, timid, and selfish. If all the contestants who are drawn refuse to kill, how does this kind of arena game work? The basic quality of the ruling class is: a deep understanding of the way of human nature.
After talking about the macro perspective, let’s talk about the personal perspective. The second truth of this film is that it is also a typical American value: if you want to survive, you must be popular, and if you want to be a leader, you must buy the hearts of the world. The heroine obviously didn't go down this road on purpose, on the contrary, without this opportunity, she has always been a loner who is isolated and out of place. By accident, she found that there were so many people who liked her, supported her, and wanted her to live. She discovered the value of her existence—social value, being needed, cared for, and worshipped. This desire in human nature is so strong that no one can resist its temptation. This hunger is as strong as the human hunger for life. Therefore, the translation of this bloody and extreme Hunger Games into the language of contemporary society is Olympic Games. People in different regions of the world have brought their gladiators to the same arena, fighting to the death. The motivation for the victors is to realize their priceless social values, to be needed, to be cared for, and to be worshipped.
Both the screenwriter and the original author of the film were exhausted, and only then did such a story with a strong political flavor be interpreted as the love triangle of "Twilight". Stay tuned for the next episode of The Hunger Games between two young men. As far as the brilliance of this film's battle of wits and bravery is concerned, it can't be compared with "BR Battle Royale" at all. It can only be said that the tension and compactness of the plot is passable.
