Fukasaku Shinji's "Battle Royale" has been controversial since it came out. Controversy belongs to controversy, and Shenzuo launched the second part without any hassle. But I don't know if it was God who asked the world and called Fukasaku away at the end of Xingying, so what was presented to the world was "Battle Royale 2", which was continued by Fukasaku's son.
Before the story begins, it is already intriguing.
God often endows people with a certain ability, but often takes it back when it reaches the extreme, cold and ruthless. Just like Cao Xueqin, like deep work.
Fukasaku's films have been exploring human nature with us. But he has always been positive, trying to show the good side of human nature. But when his life was about to end, he handed over such an answer sheet, what could it prove? His disappointment with humanity? or something else?
"Battle Royale" is undoubtedly full of blood. The bloodthirsty teacher in the first part also played his part by Takeshi Kitano, who was named "The Master of Violence" (Take Kitano also likes the style of his films, his films are quite intriguing, and it is also a person who can create a style. something completely different). The whole film is filled with blood and the ruthless face of the teacher. All the children went from being panic-stricken at first to purposeful killing (thinking of the classmates who used to be the same classmates and the classmates who lived with them, it's even more chilling). They have had many opportunities to choose cooperation, choose trust, and choose to survive. But their insanity (or the nature that manifests because of insanity) and distrust ruined everything. We see despair, the annihilation of humanity.
Fukasaku's heart must still believe that human beings should still have unabated humanity (that is, people who still have human nature and will not be overwhelmed by animal nature under bad circumstances). Fukasaku gave Noriko this trace of humanity. In Kitano's paintings, this girl is a symbol of light and hope. From the beginning to the end, the noonko we see is beautiful and kind. I believe this is what Fukasaku has been looking for. People die and die in the middle of the story, but in the end, Akihara and Noriko survive.
There's a lot to say about this first installment. Feng believes in Fukasaku or believes in light and beauty. He arranged such a game to express his belief that in the incomparably cruel human competition (more competition is far more cruel than this naked slaughter), it is the dark side of human nature who must die, and ultimately survive What lives on is the good side of character.

Yu Feng, the second part of Fukasaku, seems to be talking about the youth of publicity. This time, they undoubtedly chose to cooperate. But the adult world has no place for them. So this is a war between adults and minors.
Minors have passions that adults lose. They dare to do it, dare to rebel. Adults will erase all this, and this is the cause of war.
Minors are bound to unite. They showed the light of youth and fought against adults, wounded and dead, but none of this could stop the war.
Many films like to tell the story of youth (it seems to be an endless topic). Like "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle", the impulsiveness of youth is undoubtedly revealed, but it is impulsive, and I never regret it. Like "All About Lily Zhou" like "Trainspotting", it talks about the rebellion of youth. They can leave for a while and do things that conflict with the adult world (or things that go against the values ​​that have always been accepted), be violent, destroy, be dirty, or even smoke marijuana. Adults always try their best to avoid children breaking the rules, and sometimes minors will know from the deepest part of their hearts that it is wrong, but they prefer to do it (the so-called rebellious period, Feng thinks that children in the rebellious period are the best Or don't touch him, let him pass by himself). But just like the urban underground water system in "Trainspotting", people are surprised that there is a clear and clean hidden beneath the extremely dirty surface. After the rebellion, go back to your old life as if it never happened. But youth shines its light after all.
There is no right or wrong in any of this, whether it is good or bad.
In the end, an adult leaned on the side of the minor. In "Battle Royale 2" it was the teacher who spoke the words of the adults in a blunt way: we have rebelled before (so, Feng thought, can such a war also be seen as adult jealousy, because Can no longer have such youth, such impulsiveness, such innocence).
No one can skip underage and go straight to adulthood. Perhaps what we need more is tolerance.
Finally, there is a design in "Battle Royale", which is the collar on each person's item. They will explode at some point, taking lives. Just like the cursed little princess in fairy tales, disaster will come suddenly one day in her life, and nothing can change. In fact, each of us is not wearing a collar, but it is visible in the movie, and we are invisible (Fengxin added a paragraph: I suddenly remembered that I was watching a TV series a few days ago, and there was a question: I knew that love would leave in the end, so there At the beginning, you still need to love so hard? The answer is: everyone is born knowing that they are going to die, but they are all trying to live. We just have to live so hard).

    It's still shocking to see it again after more than ten years, but it's too romantic. The real life game is far more cruel than BR, long, boring, changeable, and consuming the will. The most cruel thing is that the purpose of the game is up to you. How many people until GAME OVER don't know what they have played.
