In this film, it doesn't seem like it makes any sense not to talk about politics. Few films start out with an overtly political overtone. This "nation's collapse" backdrop made "Battle Royale" extraordinary from the start—the era of political movies is history, but the pressures on Japan have kept it going. In "Battle Royale", we can see all kinds of unbearable and pathetic images of contemporary Japanese society in the eyes of the director. Even all the light and hope cannot shine on this dark land. From start to finish, Battle Royale is brutal. Even if someone escapes successfully, it is just another form of being changed by this alienated world. It's hard to tell if the final outcome was a hope: it was too cruel and too beautiful. But there is an undeniable point: whether it is to flee or die, it is an indictment of politics.
Analysis of "Battle Royale" is very important to anyone writing a film review. Because commenting on the theme of this film is about the film critic itself, that is, the question of "depth" and "rationality". I have always believed that Chinese people are very emotional. This sensibility will uncover many events, and it will make many people lose their minds. A good movie, the theme falls on "people" is a very profound approach. However, everyone is different, so movies are also different, and it is this difference that gives us the motivation to continue watching movies. Any event, emotion, topic, should be discussed in the movie, and it is. However, Chinese people do not seem to be allowed to discuss issues other than "people", and even a film with obvious political implications such as "Battle Royale" is still far-fetchedly extended to describe "people". Focusing on "people" is something that many directors are willing to do. People love movies because they tell stories about "people" - myself. But a movie is a movie, and a fact is a fact. In "Battle Royale", the stories behind each character show that there are people who are beautiful, but they are more persistent in digging out the social reasons for these stories (such as parents' helplessness to life, classmates The dangers faced in childhood, etc.), this kind of excavation is based on people, but finally society, there is no process of returning and continuing to deepen, but it is still a theme, a theme that cannot be subverted. Although Chinese people have various discussions on "Battle Royale", they are irrational because of the pursuit of "depth". This also caused the embarrassment of whether the theme of "Battle Royale" reflected in the film review was "people" or "country".
