NEW TOPIC BY DANA!!! w00t!
Have any of you seen this movie? It's about these Japanesse kids who have to fight in this battle for their lives. They are about the age of 13, they get dropped off in this island run by their teacher who tells them who died, and whats going to happen so on---
It wasnt sold in the US, my friend had bought it online.

The best bit was at the end when they shot the teacher and he got up to answer his phone, that made me laugh .

yeh the music was nice, it was a good original idea but i just don't like the way it was made, it seemed to be too much of a kids movie for my liking, I probably would have loved it 5 years ago.

it's available in the US now.
I really love this movie. on a purely asthetic level, it is bloody and violent as hell. but i also really like the mechanics between the characters. the way that the kids become loyal to eachother or betray eachother because of their situation.
one of my favorite scenes illustrates this. the scene where all the girls are in the lighthouse, and one of them tries to poison another girl. but the wrong girl eats the poison and when she coughs up blood and dies, the stability of the girls little group just totally breaks down, nobody can trust anyone else any longer and they just start murdering eachother.
i love this theme of loyalty, trust and betrayal, plus, i love all the violence. and Beat Takeshi is hillarious in it. yes. 5 stars.

It's kinda like a futuristic re-telling of Lord of the Flies. which is also pretty awsome. the old black and white movie especially. and of course, the book.

yeah they're all feeling safe, laughing and talking about cute boys, and then one person has to ruin it by trying to poison someone. great scene.
i also think it's funny how Beat Takeshi (the head master) is just walking around all casual with that umbrella. while kids are killing eachother near him.

buy the 2-disc Tin case one w/ quentin tarantino intro. There's some extended scenes and other goodies. BRII was kinda like full metal jacket in the sense that it's almont 2 seperate movies.

great stuff!

yeah, gogo from Kill Bill is the girl from BR that goes jogging and imagines her boyfriend riding the bike besider her.
she even has the same hair cut. and the school girl outfit.
i really like how Battle Royale has all these underlying themes of trust, loyalty and betrayal. it is interesting to see how most of the kids form little groups based on trust and past friendships, but because of the extreme nature of their situation, these alliances can not be taken for granted. and in many cases, complacency can lead to a bloody massacre.
great film.

I saw it last year, when a film club at one of my city's majour cinema's decided to show it.
It's pretty good, I recommend it. I mean, there do exist deeper films, but it's got an interesting plot, well done and also treats the character in a rather realistic manner. So yes, you should definitely see it.
I just saw Battle Royale 2 last weekend, incidentally. Not nearly as good as the first one though:P I don't recommend it.

Yeah I heard about this movie. Looked far fetched but is probably worth checking. I'll think I'll check for it at the video store this weekend.
