"Battle Royale"

'Tis on tonight, proper telly - C4 I think.
In case you were wondering.

I've not seen it before, so yay me.
+ subs.

...

And I'm done.

It was one of few films to make me feel quite emotional.

Although see at the start, I'm guessing that was a different Battle Royale?
If it was to show an exmaple to children why had Class B not heard of the previous ones?
Why did the teacher stay on the island?

Foolish.

Caught about half an hour of it.

The crazy Japanese people were funny.

I didn't think Kenta messed it up too badly - he did follow his father's notes etc.

I just loved Battle Royale because it told a story, and the characters we're believable.

First 30 mins are superb, really Fukasaku style - just excellently filmed/edited.

Then it starts to dip down towards 'mediocre'. If your a fan of BR1 then you'll love BR2 because it explains a bit more about the relationships and backbone. However, it's not as good simply because Fukasaku died after the first 1/3 of the film then his son made a spoonbar mess of the rest of the film.

Oh well!

Without spoliers, what is the 2nd like?

battle royale 1 is pretty good
battle royale 2 sucks though it is far more controversial
