Toungue  Battle Royale (Batoru rowaiaru)

BASIC INFORMATION

Director:Kinji Fukasaku
Writers:Koushun Takami (novel)
Kenta Fukasaku (screenplay)
Release Date:16 December 2000 (Japan) more
Genre:Action / Drama / Thriller more
Tagline:Could you kill your best friend?

SUMMARY

In the near future, when the society of Japan is crumbling, forty-two students find that their field trip is actually a military-sponsored game known as "Battle Royale". The kids' sadistic former teacher Kitano sends them to an isolated island and gives them three days to kill each other until only one remains. Two of the kids, Shuya and Noriko, stay together and further develop their already-formed bond. A transfer student, Kawada, sympathizes with the two and chooses to help them. Others develop a plan to bring down the military game, try to find their crush before they die, or lose their minds and go on killing sprees.

REVIEWS

This is a heart-stopping action film, teaching us the worthy lessons of discipline, teamwork, and determination, but wrapping them up in a deliberately provocative, shockingly violent package.

As usual, Fukasaku directs Battle Royale with force and conviction, even as the tone of the picture veers back and forth from unabashedly ludicrous to deadly serious.

RE: Battle Royale (Batoru rowaiaru)

This was such a great movie. The first time I watched it, I thought it would be too gory, and pointless, and I very nearly turned it off. Anyway, I kept it on, and what a great movie. Cute little Japanese girls with machine guns! The sequel was definitely a dissapointment. Watched about 30 mins of it Toungue
