  Every boy in this movie looks like he is a character straight from anime. Man, I hate that hairstyle. Then and now.

  Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games) says she was inspired to write The Hunger Games after the poverty she saw in Iraq during the war. Uh huh.

  Is anyone else buying that bullshit?

  Still a great movie 14 years later.

  Going on a school field trip has never fuckin' sucked so fuckin' bad. Sharing a Kodak moment with your friends. Waking up to a what-the-fuckin'-shit-hell-is-fuckin'-going-on nightmare. A fuckin' outrage as Professor Kitano takes over the class. No fuckin' talkin', not even a fuckin' whisper. A necklace that will fuck you up. Watching your best-mate's neck gush. The transfer students with two very different fuckin' agendas. Watch out, Death Note's finest will light you the fuck up with a pot lid. Mitsuko's smile. The way Kawada smokes. Kazuo, zero lines of dialogue and total fuckin' ownage. The boys from Anonymous try their fuckin' best to hack the system. Yummy spaghetti. The greatest fuckin' lunch ever served at a lighthouse.

  Testicle mutilation.

  
  
  

  Wait. No.

  Characters. That's right. Characters. Good ones. The ones with depth. And director Kinji Fukasaku, or rather, author of the original novel -- Koushun Takami, delivers. 43 of 'em! (Including Kitano-sensei.) The hardest part of telling a story about teenagers stabbing, choking and shooting each other is to make the audience care about them. Once that obstacle is crossed, what we have is an emotional, intense, shocking and insane little cult classic.

  What makes Battle Royale even more special is…

  Review by Danny Webster ★★★★★ 1

  A "scarier" film (in my eyes) when you realise that this is a truly dark comedy about school kids scurrying around attempting to kill each other, and that director Fukasaku and his classmates, when fifteen, were drafted to work in a munitions factory (during the war) and it was bombed - leaving practically all of them dead. Fukasaku's job afterwards was to clean up his own dead classmates.

  If I'm killed by Mitsuko Souma DO NOT PROSECUTE her. SHE caught ME slipping. THAT IS ON ME.
