"Battle Royale" nakedly exposes humanity

In "Battle Royale", it is Japan's "violent master" Takeshi Kitano who plays the cruel class teacher.

Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku's new film "Battle Royale" shows no mercy when it comes to violence. Its bloodiness is the means, and anti-bloody is the goal. Because the film involved schools, it once caused a storm in Japan that Congress wanted to ban it.

After 70 years of life, his character may have become dull, but Kinji Fukasaku, the Japanese director whom John Woo most respects, is still full of energy.

See the consciousness of pure physical fighting violence

Since "The Conspiracy of the Yagyu Clan" in 1978, Fukasaku Kinji has made many movies of different types, but 20 years later, he Suddenly he made a movie called "Battle Royale", although "Battle Royale" is not the gangster violence film from his period such as "The Cemetery of Injustice", "The Cemetery of Underworld" and "County Police vs. Organizational Violence" , but the violent consciousness of pure physical fighting is vaguely visible.

Fukasaku Kinji debuted later than Imamura Shohei, and is of the same generation as directors such as Yamada Yoji, Oshima Nagisa, and Kumai Kei. In the final reckoning of the millennium, his 1973 work "The Inhumane War" successfully broke through and entered the top ten list of the 100 best Japanese films of the century selected by Japan's famous "Film Xunbao". Among the directors of his generation Standing out from the crowd, its positioning is obviously confirmed. In fact, Kinji Fukasaku began to become famous when he replaced Akira Kurosawa in the 1970s when he made the international film "The Attack on Pearl Harbor" co-produced by the United States and Japan.

Causing a scandal in the Japanese Parliament about sexual abstinence

"Battle Royale" is full of black humor. While the class teacher wants the students to kill each other, he also cares about the students not to catch cold.

"Battle Royale" was officially launched locally today. However, due to the violence of the film and its involvement in schools, it also caused controversy in Japan with the Japanese Parliament trying to ban its screening, so not many people are optimistic about its local release. roll out. However, due to the wise "cutting" of the local film censorship bureau (because the cut would not affect the plot), the audience was finally able to see the film.

In fact, a violent plot is not necessarily a meaningless film. In the Japanese film industry, Director Shen is said to use the violent vendetta of gangster films to reflect the views of the lower class in post-war society; using violence to vent Under the false post-war democracy, the lower classes lost their sense of direction and were helpless and isolated.

Starring "The Master of Violence" Takeshi Kitano

"Battle Royale" is set in an unknown world in the new century, saying that the country is facing collapse, social unrest, and school violence incidents continue to occur. The Japanese military government simply played a field war game with these problematic students, killing each other. The story describes a group of 42 students who were tricked into a desert island under the design of their class teacher. He gave his classmates various weapons and ordered that only one of them could survive. In order to survive, classmates who were usually good friends had to show their bestiality and resort to the cruelest methods to kill their friends. The cruel class teacher is played by Takeshi Kitano, Japan's "master of violence".

"Battle Royale" opens with a little girl who is the "winner of the battle royale". Her face is stained with blood, her childishness has been replaced by evil spirits, and she is holding a bloody doll in her hand. At a young age, she smiles ferociously because she survives by successfully killing all her companions. That kind of terror simply sends chills down the spine of the audience. The ugliness, weakness, evil, selfishness and nakedness of human nature are presented.

Starting from the death of the first classmate, the audience witnessed the terrifying mentality of various people. Some died due to weakness, some took the opportunity to vent their suppressed hatred and bestiality, and some passively quit and sought death. , some actively fight to survive, and the truth revealed one after another is more shocking than the unbearable scenes of bloody faces and bloody faces.

Frightened with black humor

In order to increase the irony, the director Absurd humor is also added. For example, the last words of a dying classmate are: You are the most handsome boy I have ever seen; the murderous teacher Kitano Takeshi appears in the rain and magically cares about the students not to catch cold and get sick. At this time, the judge does not know what to do. Laugh or cry. In short, the film is not only frightening, but also full of black humor.

If the Korean film "The House of Desire", which was released locally last Thursday, is still capable of exposing human nature, "Battle Royale" will not be lenient in this regard. Bloody is the method, and instead... Gore is the purpose. Regardless of the director's technique, content, and inspiring reflections and educational significance, this film is definitely a must-see in 2001.

The Western "Battle Royale" is also shocking

Every once in a while, someone in the film industry will cry out about the creative shortage and creative drought. Play until you die. Just when everyone thought that the beast-fighting genre had really been completely exhausted, "Battle Royale", which had a strong overseas box office, opened up the sky for beast-fighting films and once again proved its status in the world.

No one would believe it if "My Savage Classmates", which was released locally not long ago and was directed by Wang Jing and starred by Nicholas Tse, had no shadow of "Battle Royale".

According to inquiries, local film producers have purchased the Western version of the battle royale "Series 7" (tentatively translated as "Battle Royale Survivors"). I believe that audiences will soon be able to watch this equally shocking film.

"Survivor" is directed by Daniel Minahan, starring Brooke Smith and others, and is based on the TV show. It is said that "Battle Royale" is one of the most highly-rated TV programs in the United States. The program uses human nature and bloody scenes as its selling points. The show draws contestants from government-issued ID numbers. Those drawn receive a gun and a photographer, and then kill all the contestants one by one to become the only survivor. Although everyone thought they were just watching a TV show, everything they saw was real danger, and the horror of the film was not inferior to the Japanese version.

Story Summary——

Because minors despise adults, powerful, high-level adults enacted the "RB Battle Royale" bill.

Forty-two junior high school students were knocked unconscious in the bus while traveling on vacation. Late at night, when they woke up one after another in a house on a small island, they found that they had hoods around their necks. There was a neck ring, and when everyone was panicking, there was the sound of a helicopter outside the house, and then they saw their homeroom teacher Kitano getting off the military plane. Kitano led a team of soldiers into the room and began to introduce the two new classmates Kawada and Kiriyama to the students. Then he used a videotape to introduce them to the "RB Battle Royale" bill, which required them to kill each other on this small island. Kill until only one person is left to win. Their neck rings are controlled by radio to track them. If anyone tries to escape and fails to participate in the game in the designated area, the bomb in the neck ring will explode. During the video explanation, two people The classmates resisted and were killed by Kitano on the spot. The remaining 40 classmates were forced to take various weapons prepared by the army and left one after another after being named.

As soon as they arrived outside the house, several classmates started to kill each other. The male classmate Qiu Ye took the girl Keiko and fled to a cave. The weapons of the two people who did not want to participate in the killing were a pot lid and a flashlight. The cave Several classmates outside were killed by Tongshan, and some committed suicide by jumping into the sea. The girl Mitsuko also killed three.

Early in the morning, music sounded. Amidst the music, Kitano read out the list of dead classmates on the radio. Twelve people died in one attack. Kitano narrowed the scope of the game to another area. When Qiu Ye took Keiko to the designated area, he accidentally killed a classmate and saw another classmate being killed. At this time, the two girls who did not want to kill were calling the classmates to stop the killing on the top of the mountain. Unexpectedly, they became Kiriyama's goal. At noon, with the music playing, Kitano narrowed the scope again. Three boys accidentally found a computer in a house. They wanted to use a virus to destroy the system of Kitano headquarters and escape. In the wild, the students continued their games. When the music started, three more students died, and the scope narrowed again. After Kawada rescued the sick Keiko and Qiuya, he told them that he had participated in this game before. When only he and his girlfriend Keiko were left, Keiko fired first and finally died in his arms with a smile. , Kawada also told them that he knew how to escape.

The next day, Kitano's statistics were reported again. There were only 10 students left, and the killing in the wild continued. On the third day, only 7 people were left. After the three classmates who found the computer successfully destroyed the headquarters' computer system, they were killed by Kiriyama who arrived. The injured Kiriyama was killed by Kawada. The remaining three people came to the beach. At this time, Kawada pointed his gun at Qiuya and Keiko.
