But I like all kinds of violent movies especially Takashi Miike's works (Koroshiya Ichi, Visitor Q, Audition) I'm not sick or perverted or anything, I just understand that none of it is real and then its very easy for me to watch and to like :O btw, did you notice the part where the girls were shooting at each other was taken from Reservoir Dogs? | ||

Liked it so much I downloaded it and watched it. Hated the movie. Loved the book. :edit: the Chigori girl that was in it (also in kill bill movie, the japanese school girl with a mace vs. the bride) who is very pretty =] | ||

I'll leave you with the words of someone far smarter than I (slightly paraphrased): "I guess I just don't get it. I come from a world where people do something for a reason. I didn't really get French New Wave, but I know I liked it. I don't get films like that, but I know I don't like them. You know... shit, by any other name, smells just as bad." - Martin Scorsese (about, specifically, Battle Royale) | ||

Not only that, many parts of the movie were taken directly from Anime. | ||

BR 2 has double the violence and half of the plot of BR 1. Great movies though. | ||

Too many idiots just google somsone else's ideas, and then inflate them with verbose, masturbatory dick cheese. They have no conception of how translucent their charade is, nor that anyone with even a tentative foundation in reality knows that you can't just say whatever you want and label it "your interpretation". I'll leave you with the words of someone far smarter than I (slightly paraphrased): "I guess I just don't get it. I come from a world where people do something for a reason.

It's the sort of thought people who talk and think through repetition would come up with during the half way point of any argument. I'm just as calm now as when I was brushing my teeth this morning. Perhaps I'm missing the point. Maybe you're just incapable of forming original lines of dialogue. Your strict adherence to film making edicts is certainly persuasive and indictive of that. The fact that nothing you say is beyond what I don't normally hear or read, almost verbatim, from anonymous mono-faceted schlubs who grandstand to indoctrinate their superior views speaks volumes about you. To think that you could have altered the course of this thread if you were not so hesitant (insecure?) or tardy (incapable?) to enlighten me with more than just your ability to regurgitate juvenile banters. | ||

If you want violence as a message, check out Sam Peckinpah (Wild Bunch). If you want to watch a character's spiral into madness, check out John Cassavettes(A Woman Under the Influence or Roman Polanski (Rosemary's Baby). If you want characters finding out about themselves, you have the entire French New Wave. There are hundreds of great films that convey emotion without exploiting your senses with bullets and buckets of blood. Heck, even John Woo's Hong Kong stuff had more meaning than BR. There are so many things to say, but I get the feeling you'd rather be right than actually learn something. Although, after all this, I guess I do see the connection between LOTF and BR. LOTF was everything that BR wanted to be, but failed at. | ||

I enjoyed BR-in spite of what Martin Scorsese says. | ||

Hell, you can enjoy shit that just plain sucks. (See: 95% of American horror). I just don't think it's right to intellectualize a film like this so you can justify enjoying it. I guess we can just agree to disagree. I'd be glad to entertain a civilized discussion on film anytime, though. EDIT: I always feel so damn unproductive after flame fests like these. Let me apologize for being so immature. If you've honestly found deeper levels to this film, perhaps you're just more intune or estute than I am. Either way, I think we both need to be less uptight. | ||

The director of the original only shot a few scenes before passing away, and his hack son came along and fucked everything up. AVOID THIS FILM. | ||

I kind of want to see it if only to find out what the hell a "convoluted entanglement of failed possibility" could be. But Versus was really painful. I have no idea where some of my friends come find with shit like that. Ughhhhh. | ||
