I don't hate the game, I'm just pointing out that it does present a fairly realistic portrayal of weapons. The students are each given a bag with a randomly selected weapon and a few rations of food and water and sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred with a few minor rules game to the death, which means that the students have three days to kill each other until one survives--or they all die. They are sent to an island, given weapons, and fight to survive. The transcription of the inner thoughts of the characters, which is one of the strengths of the book, is averagely well retranscripted. Anyway, that screen is exact on the names as well as the 'danger zone' map. Adults and children alike read comics by the droves, and sometimes pops up a strange, not-too-well-hidden undercurrent of pedophilia. It is just too damn funny to watch Takeshi Kitano sit on a couch and eat cookies while at the same time watching his former pupils kill each other.
The deaths in Scream although bloody are nothing but pastiche of those films that Scream is mimicking, ultimately throwaway deaths that up in brutality in order to out-do the last one that have one or two psychotic perpetrators, who eventually get their comeuppance. School shootings shocked the world when children started killing their peers. They also are not trained killers and are randomly assigned a different tool or weapon, some of which are useless. What is truly shocking is that the actors and actresses who have been selected to portray these teens are around the same ages of their characters. You probably know her too. Maybe you just have to live here to get it. This is the natural result.
Does this film have a message? Teenagers put on an island to kill themselves will certainly not learn anything new and if they do it won't matter considering that they'll soon be dead. Take it from me, the characters and situations are very realistic. Rated R-15 forbidden to under 15 , very, very violent, but nonetheless interesting.

The kids are brought to an island, they are given weapons, and within three days time, the last one standing gets to go home. This movie is absolutely amazing.
Only occasionally does the camera pan away from the final deed. For all intents and purposes, they were innocent. Naturally, some go insane and mutter those math equations that their teachers promised them would be valuable in the real world. On my first watch and this is terrible to say but I am allowed to say it , all the kids kind of look similar. It also does not gloss over the violence, which in this case I think is important to show the savagery at play but does at times make it difficult to watch. Let me tell you why. Kitano Takeshi Kitano plays the teacher that basically plays the ringleader.
That's why it was such a big hit in Japan. The cast in this film is chock full of Japanese Stars. Battle Royale 2000 Subtitles Forty-two students, three days, one deserted Island: welcome to Battle Royale. It taps into something so deep that you really have to think about it. Inside the main building, there is huge system of screens that show who is dead and what not. Furthermore, as I mentioned earlier, some of the characters even profess love for their classmates without even knowing what love is all about.
I thought it was rather thrilling in how it all played out.

A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. There is just everything in this movie. I couldn't believe my eyes.

What's even worse is that they were picked by lottery to end up on the island. What brings such a bizarre idea to fruition includes civil unrest, teenage anxiety, and a nation literally terrorized by their youth. It's such a great comment on how we are living in the 21st century in a time when frequently the fear for a country comes from within rather than outside forces. It's not an entirely convincing explanation, but whatever, let's get to the carnage! The dialogue between characters is poignant, real, and totally innocent.
