Battle Royale....

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

... I just didnt get it!

So, its a kinda ultra-violent flick...etc, ok thats obvious but it just seemed to be offering some profundity that was passing me by? Just a selective vision of a possible future? Are the Japanese scared of teir youth?

Anybody?

This month's Empire magazine refers to it as "a clever social satire about the increase of juvenile delinquency in Japan and the Government's inability to deal with it".

As far as I'm concerned, anything involving Takeshi Kitano is a work of genius... :D :notworthy:

I liked the film, but probably coz I like seeing Japanese girls firing guns. I'm easily pleased!

Kinda upset that the sequel is basically a load of pants.
