This film presents a controversial area that only the Japanese would dare to shoot. Plot
A complete course is kidnapped by the army and is left on a deserted island where they will be forced to confront death until only one survivor, otherwise all will die. Each participant is given a gun. The tactics and strategies are the responsibility of each "contestant". The field of competition gets smaller with the moral objections of those who still survive. Some seek alliances, others will become murderers unleashed but in the end, all reveal their true nature.
Personal Print
hated the end, I found it predictable and mammon. But still, I think it's worth seeing this film by the moral dilemma it poses. How far can go in the pursuit of social order? What is the boundary that demarcates a just punishment of torture? What is the moral place when we rounded up? Can you force people to be good? And if so, what morals does not become an imposition rather than an ideal?
While "Hostel" Tarantino shows violence without rhyme or reason, Battle Royale presents a vision of society that forces us to confront our own judgments about what is right and good.
For there is good consensus on being good (pun intended) but what is to be good? What is the border between being compassionate and forgiving? It's something that very few know how to answer point-blank, without falling in places as common as insignificant.
The film is based on a novel, Sivia also the basis for a manga.
