Battle Royale (2000)

This is another example of movies based on The Most Dangerous game that I really enjoy. and my GOD do I enjoy this movie.

Like, a class of teenagers sent to an island purely to kill off each other until only one remains? What is there to fault about that? NOTHING

A lot of people say that this is the original Hunger Games and that kinda irks me because the Hunger Games is trash - and this is not. Just bc it's kids killing each other in a survival of the fittest type deal instead of adults it doesn't mean it's like the Hunger Games.

Anyway, I digress. This is a fucking fantastically entertaining film and you're really doing yourself a disservice every day you go by without having watched it. So, go do that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIOTA NAGISA

Thank you, Nagisa, for showing me that being kind and gentle doesn’t mean that you’re weak and also that the parts about you that you hate can be turned into your greatest weapon. You have been a role model for me for the past four years and I strive to be as wise and caring as you. Keep doing what you’re doing, you adorable little assassin, we’re all so very proud of you. 😍😊

Yes, I know that Nagisa’s birthday is during Summer break but shhhhh

(25 unread messages) 

Akabane Karma: Hey there Nagi :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLUEBERRY! I can’t believe you are officially older than me. But don’t get your hopes up, just because you’re my elder, doesn’t mean that I will start listening to you. Just to show you how awesome I am, I decided to stay up late so that I can text you exactly at 00:00. But for real, I hope you have an awesome day and I promise to beat up anyone that ruins it for you ;) Nagisa, you are honestly the most amazing person I’ve ever met and you’re seriously like such a sweet and kind and honest and good person and I have no idea how someone as nice and forgiving as you ended up befriending someone as crazy and violent as me. You’re the only person who's never been scared of me and even though you hate violence you still stood by me and never tried to change me and you liked me for me. No one’s ever liked me without expecting me to change and I’ve never felt as comfortable being myself with someone as I have with you. Can’t wait to see you at school today - I got you a present. No I won’t tell you what it is and yes, you’ll definitely love it. See you soon.

Sugino Tomohito: Happy Birthday Nagisa! Hope that you have fun today! I just want to tell you that you are the best best friend that I could ever ask for and I am truly grateful for everything that you have done for me. When I first got kicked down to 3-E and was forced to leave the baseball club, I thought that it was all over but you came along and was the first person to actually sit down and listen to me and you offered to practice baseball with me and honestly, that really made my day. Dude, you are like this amazing blue ball of kindness and like seriously you are brilliant but you don’t nearly give yourself enough credit. I don’t know where you get your low self esteem from or what it is that makes you think that you are worth so little but I promise to remind you that you are cared for every single day until your next birthday and for the rest of your life. Okay, that probably sounded super weird but it’s early and my brain is like 60% baseball memes at this point. At first I hated losing my baseball friends and getting sent to this abandoned building on top of a death mountain but meeting you has made me realise that our crazy assassination classroom™ is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. From the day I’ve met you, you’ve been nothing but loyal and caring. You are the person I can talk and rant to and you’ll never judge me and you always know how to make you smile. And honestly, you are worth 1000 baseball teams. Don’t let your mother get you down. See you in class! Oh, BTW, my little brother says Hi.

Kayano Kaede: HIIIIII NAGISA! HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! I got you a gift and I hope you like it and no it’s not pudding but you will be getting some cake from that cafe we visited over the weekend. It’s not easy being the new girl and ever since I’ve joined the class, you’ve been nothing but an awesome best friend and you have always been by my side since the day we decided to have matching hairstyles (which might I say looks so much better on you than it does on me - UNFAIR!) I hope the rest of the year is filled with pudding and happiness and sweets and smiles and everything else you love 

Nakamura Rio: Happy birthday to our resident blueberry cinnamon roll! Have a wonderful day ‘Gisa. I’m sure you will when you see what I have in store for you ;). You are seriously the most mature, innocent, pure little bean I have ever met - and definitely the most fun person to play pranks on! Dont worry, as the birthday boy, you shall spend 24 hours completely prank free. Yes, yes I know, I’m the best classmate ever. Dont need to tell me something I already know, sweetie. See you later, my fellow English lover!

Maehara Hiroto: Yo, dude, Happy Birthday! Hope you have fun and enjoy what we’ve got in store for you (no hints!). Like seriously you are legit the most awesome person ever cause you’re so sweet and innocent and can turn into this super awesome secret badass whenever you want to. Youre like the class therapist/medic/person we can always rely on and you never complain when we drive you crazy (cause I know that we do). I’m super proud of you man. Never change Nagisa. See you at school. (BTW - We still up for karaoke next week?)

Isogai Yuuma: Happy birthday Nagisa! Hope you have a wonderful day! I can’t wait to see you in class later. When my siblings found out that it was your birthday, they insisted that they make you a card.You are an irreplaceable member of our class and I’m so happy that you are part of it. Seriously, if it wasn’t for you and your ability to calm people down and talk people out of doing whatever crazy idea they came up with, I’m pretty sure I would’ve lost my mind. You’re always smiling and always participate in class without complaining and you always see the best in everyone. Keep on doing what you do Nagisa, the world could use more people like you. ( Oh and come to the cafe later, I got an iced bun on the house for you)

Fuwa Yuzuki: AAAAAHHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAGISA! CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCCESSFULLY SURVIVING THIS LONG ON EARTH! OOHH IM SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU TO SEE WHAT I’VE GOT YOU! Thank you for always going along with and listening to my crazy anime/manga rants even when you have no idea whats going on. It’s so much fun hanging out with you cause youre chill and youre always up for anything and apart from Takabayshi you’re the person in the class that get my references the most. Youre an amazing main protagonist and you deserve all of the screentime and lines you get - heck even your own spin-off show. For someone who loves heroes so much, youre doing an amazing job of being one yourself. Youre the best Watson a Sherlock like me could ever ask for and a really good friend for this manga obsessed Otaku! Love you and see you later!

Kataoka Megu: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the day. As someone whose job is to watch over our … interesting class, having you around makes everyone else bearable. I’m sure that if you aren’t here to keep the peace I would’ve murdered Okajima months ago. You have always been really respectful and kind and I appreciate having someone as hard-working and loyal as you in my class. I always enjoy having our talks about equal rights and you have always been like a little brother to me (honestly, I prefer you over my actual older brother). See you later and please continue to stay the way you are.

Okano Hinata: Hey there Nagisa. Happy Birthday! How’s it going, little dude! Hope you enjoy yourself and have lots of fun today. Thank you for being one of the only boys that I can actually stand. You are such an amazing person to have in the class and you’re amazing at being someone that we can all come to when we’re upset. Plus you let us brush your amazing godly hair (seriously I’m jealous at how nice it is). If any main campus kids try to ruin this special day - come to me and I’ll sort them right out :)

Kurahashi Hinano: HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAGISA! I HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF FUN TODAY AND EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU SO THAT I CAN GIVE YOU YOUR PRESENT IN PERSON AND THE BIGGEST BIRTHDAY HUG EVER! YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON AND I (AND EVERYONE ELSE) LOVE YOU SOO MUCH OKAY I HAVE TO GO NOW BUT BYEEEE 

Kimura Masayoshi: Hey Nagisa! Happy Birthday! Can’t wait to see you at school! 

Mimura Kouki: Happy Birthday Nagisa :) wish you the best :)

Yada Touka: Happy Birthday Nagisa! I hope you have a fun-filled day! You are a really sweet and nice person and I enjoy hanging around with you - especially when you join us girls on our girl trips to the mall. You’re like a little brother to me and I always feel comfortable when I’m with you. Love you and hope you have a nice day <3

Takabayashi Koutarou: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I hope that you enjoy yourself.

Hayami Rinka: Happy Birthday Nagisa

Okajima Taiga: Happy Birthday Nagisa. You are such an incredible person to have in the class. And thank you for always saving me from the girls when they get mad at me. Hope you have fun. I was going to give you some really cool magazines but when the girls figured it out they slapped me and said that they’d tie me up in the middle of the mountain and leave me there if I did so I’m just gonna give you something else that I made (with Sugaya’s help). I’ll show you it at school - I hope you like it.

Kanzaki Yukiko: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I hope you have a nice day and thank you for being such a good and reliable friend. See you at school.

Yoshida Taisei: Happy Birthday Nagisa! I’m so sorry for the grenade incident earlier and I am so happy Koro-Sensei saved you. Also like you are one tough guy, you know that right? Cause what happened with Takaoka, man you couldve beaten any of us up with your eyes closed any time. Stay awesome dude. See you at the mountain

Hara Sumire: Happy Birthday Nagisa. I’ve made some sushi just for you. I hope you like it. As your official unofficial mother, I hope you have fun today and I can’t wait to see you later. 

Sugaya Sosuke: Happy Birthday Nagisa. Thank you for being around and seeing the good in all of us even when we don’t see it ourselves. You always know how to inspire us and you are going to be an awesome grown up when you’re older. You always appreciate everyone and you know exactly how to pick us up when we’re down. I hope you like your present (you’ll get it later)

Okuda Manami: Happy Birthday Nagisa! I hope you have a wonderful day today. I just want to say thank you for being my friend and always encouraging me and helping me. You always know how to cheer me up and include me. See you at school.

Chiba Ryuunosuke: Happy Birthday Nagisa

Hazama Kirara: Happy Birthday fellow literature lover. I really enjoy talking about gothic literature with you - your analysis of themes and context is always very insightful and interesting and I enjoy spending time with you. If you ever need to escape, you can always come to me. PS - my offer to curse your mother is still up.

Muramatsu Takuya: Happy Birthday Nagisa. Hope you have fun. I made you some ramen (don’t worry its not my dad’s recipe so you’ll be good)

Terasaka Ryouma: Sup Shiota, Happy Birthday. I just want to say that I’m really sorry for being an a**hole and treating you like a jerk - especially forcing you to wear that grenade at the beginning of the year. You’re really good at assassination and you’ve got some serious moves. I dont really know what to say but you can always hang out with my gang whenever you want.

Yuko Miyamura in Battle Royale (Kinji Fukasaku, 2000)

Cast: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Takeshi Kitano, Taro Yamamoto, Masanobu Ando, Kou Shibasaki, Chiaki Kuriyama, Takashi Tsukamoto, Sosuke Takaoka, Eri Ishikawa, Hitomi Hyuga, Yuko Miyamura. Screenplay: Kenta Fukasaku, based on a novel by Koushun Takami. Cinematography: Katsumi Yanagijima. Production design: Kyoko Heya. Film editing: Hirohide Abe.

In my brief and admittedly superficial exploration of Japanese cinema, I have often been struck by how postwar filmmakers take a rather harsh attitude toward the generation born after World War II. Even so hip a director as Nagisa Oshima paints a rather jaundiced picture of wayward teenagers in films like Cruel Story of Youth (1960), though suggesting that American influence at least helped push Japanese young people into delinquency. Masahiro Shinoda's Youth in Fury, made the same year as Oshima's film, focuses on the student riots against the Japanese-American mutual security treaty, suggesting that the political impotence of the young is to blame. An older filmmaker like Keisuke Kinshita, in The Young Rebels (1980), blamed the rebelliousness on parents, a familiar scapegoat. And then there's Kinji Fukasaku's Battle Royale, which subjects the problem of turbulent youth to what we might call a final solution: mutual extermination. In an era plagued by depression and unemployment, the government passes a population-control law: Each year, a middle school class is chosen and sent to a remote island where they are forced to fight to the death. If you're thinking this sounds a lot like The Hunger Games, have another drink. In fact, Suzanne Collins, the author of The Hunger Games trilogy, the first book of which appeared in 2008, has said that she never saw the film or read the 1999 novel by Koushun Takami on which it was based. Her claim is plausible: Battle Royale stirred up so much controversy in Japan over its violence that it wasn't released theatrically in the United States until 2011, partly because American distributors were scared off by memories of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. Fukasaku's film is in fact like a bloodier, more barebones version of The Hunger Games movies (Gary Ross, 2012; Francis Lawrence, 2013, 2014, 2015). It's also funnier and scarier because it has been shorn of the Olympic Games-style spectacle of  the American movies. Instead, we get a "training video" in which a ditzy instructor (Yuko Miyamura), a parody of Japanese game show hosts, explains the rules: Each player gets a bag of supplies that includes a "weapon" -- ranging from a semiautomatic rifle to a paper fan -- and they are all fitted with monitoring collars that will explode if they try to remove them, as well as if the game ends on the third day with more than one survivor. The film, written by the director's son, Kenta Fukasaku, doesn't waste a lot of time on character development, except for two principal combatants, Shuya (Tatsuya Fujiwara) and Noriko (Aki Maeda), who fall in love along the way. There are also a trio of villains: Mitsuko (Kou Shibasaki), who relishes the thought of killing her classmates, and a ringer, a "transfer student" named Kazuo Kirayama (Masanobu Ando), who is really a psychopath brought in by the sadistic director of the game, the schoolteacher Kitano (Takeshi Kitano), to spice things up. There's another supposed transfer student, Shogo Kawada (Taro Yamamoto), who is actually a survivor of an earlier game, but he turns out to be a good guy, seeking revenge on Kitano for his girlfriend's death in that game. Aside from these characters, most of the players are nondescript, except for the computer geek, Shinji Mimura (Takashi Tsukamoto), who manages both to hack into the game's system and to construct a bomb he plans to use to take out the game headquarters. There is much vivid killing in the film, but it's paced so fast, and the characters are mostly so undefined that, except for the fact that these are kids killing kids, it's easy to get caught up in it all. It's not surprising that it's one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite movies.

124: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:44:33.02 ID:koEO6GZN0.net.

In this world where can't say what want to say.

135: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:46:23 ID:2KNUdzPi0.net.

feel like tired from some layers just by writing tiresomely on Korean stories on TV.

242: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:12:58.52 ID:oE9vyCjh0.net.

A hero who thrived in the arts twice.

2: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:13:12 ID:78e0Atjo0.net.

What should eat?

A single utterance made a big difference in life.

scared..

It seems that the festival will be raised to the symbol of disgusting Korea.

22: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:21:10.52 ID:NMb8XbDj0.net.

>>2

Takaoka is a victim of discrimination.

just protested against Korea discriminating against Japanese. If you replace Japan and South Korea, you can see that it is abnormal.

Clearly a case of discrimination against Japanese people.

91: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:36:22 ID:cF1rm39J0.net.

>>22

was scared because the democratic government and those days of Korean and Korean wave were so abnormal.

102: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:38:30.65 ID:abQZJTO70.net.

>>91

Separately, the Korean wave is different from the time of the democratic government.

There is a fire from the bottom.

It's cheap, so started using TV easily.

159: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:52:19 ID:iURqRy/o0.net.

>>22

Before that, used to be a stupid Japanese person and posted it on the Natto image blog.

was a friend of the Korean yakuza who was bruised on the street.

304: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:29:25.18 ID:sFIJsmgW0.net.

>>159

wonder what the flip was.

Is it because the long-awaited resident in Japan was killed?

Until then, it was a strong anti-Japan.

It may have been used in various ways.

328: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:35:43 ID:YhVM1Lig0.net.

>>159

Kanamura was killed by the Kimura brothers.

Takaoka is from a shameful countryside and has no delinquency,

Aoi Miyazaki was connected to the Kanto Union.

Whether Urita was around Kanemura,

was supporting the first party of Japan in this election of the Governor of Tokyo,

Kanemura's anti-Japanese words are unknown.

 .

109: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:41:16.98 ID:koEO6GZN0.net.

>>2

didn't say anything disgusting.

was just saying that the TV station was doing Korean dramas and was sick of wondering which country the TV station was because was pushing too much.

3: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:13:19 ID:Q0ueF0CI0.net.

It was an uproar that felt the darkness of the entertainment world and the TV industry.

129: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:45:10 ID:bbCx4Wv30.net.

>>3

Seyan. Well, it's all about saying that Takaoka has fallen victim to that. Thank you for your hard work..

417: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:56:41 ID: auMmhaQ00.net.

>>129

You guys abandoned after all.

Hey guys, it’s true.

484: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 06:15:00 ID:x4ws6t0P0.net.

>>417

For the time being, didn't see it because didn't like it.

502: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 06:20:45 ID:pyrEBAak0.net.

>>484

If didn't like it, Okamura would have told me to see it.

was surprised that the Fuji Television ratings really fell.

5: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:13:28.29 ID:kt8tH3wE0.net.

It's likely to be caught soon.

12: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:17:25.62 ID:qShUIS3G0.net.

>>5

Already once arrested for injury in 2016

32: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:22:42.83 ID: fSWLOL6j0.net.

wonder how to write about the cause of divorce in the article.

38: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:25:05.12 ID:2KNUdzPi0.net.

>>32

w.

remember it, but it wasn't an affair hot spring trip between the ex-wife and her affair partner (ex-wife's current husband).

56: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:29:49 ID:sgIE7H0v0.net.

>>38

thought it was an affair, but when got married, was frightened by the article titled {Pure Love}.

It's also through on TV.

542: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 06:33:46.19 ID:jowOfIUL0.net.

>>56

Aoi-san is scared.

49: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:28:03 ID:WPkOQkPF0.net.

Yes, it is wasteful ('・ω・`).

wish had seen it on the stage.

think there are not many actors who are as talented and blessed as Takaoka-san.

152: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:50:58.43 ID:6XMsTYD60.net.

>>49

It's called Haruma Miura, and that kind of person is disappearing.

Takaoka said that he had a shadow that he could see when it suddenly happened, or his eyes were really wonderful..

90: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:36:05 ID:G0VfkMTX0.net.

It's a legend of Gei-spo.

That thread record will never be broken.

 .

101: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:38:22.13 ID:x3wIBQBI0.net.

At first, he was struck with the feeling that it was a symbol of anti-Japan, and then he was struck with the symbol of disgusting Korea.

You can see the dislike of Korea by looking at the flow of threads, but what was the reason why you were first recognized as a Korean and hit?

147: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:49:20.40 ID:cF1rm39J0.net.

>>101

didn't say Takeshima when was a patch guy.

feel that Takaoka pasted a photo of natto and the nellers were noisy.

187: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:58:31.62 ID:6XMsTYD60.net.

>>147

Even though it seems to rejuvenate, he said that he said something like, "The Japanese government is despicable. don't like Japan. Do proper politics around that!" The person denied. Someone who says Haruma Miura and really likes Japan shouldn't enter the Japanese entertainment world..

259: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:18:17.92 ID:cF1rm39J0.net.

>>187

Did you make it as if you were saying something you didn't say?

269: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:20:01 ID:6XMsTYD60.net.

>>259

so. There is no clear evidence, and Takaoka said that the source is a well-known technique in the Korean media..

532: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 06:31:28.49 ID:ILP+St2F0.net.

>>147

suppose there wasn't anything that wasn't convenient for him in Netouyo.

It's just a recognition that was bitten by the Korean wave Fuji that noticed because mentality was too weak.

103: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:38:54.44 ID:OWGKtba60.net.

It's been 10 years since 've become a Fujizboro.

137: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:46:54 ID:bbCx4Wv30.net.

>>103

In a sense, he is a meritorious person..

104: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:39:02.33 ID:8JdBDaEg0.net.

He was the younger brother of the Korean yakuza, and don't really understand him.

106: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:40:24 ID:QkNpHLhB0.net.

>>104

Probably a really pure person.

If you think Japan is wrong, say something wrong, and if you think Korea is wrong, say the same thing.

114: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:42:10 ID:koEO6GZN0.net.

>>106

didn't say which one was friend, just said it was funny because thought it was normal.

It's actually weird and pushing the TV station.

198: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:00:31.71 ID:6XMsTYD60.net.

>>114

Ai Iijima is like that, too. After that (ry.

112: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:41:44.74 ID:83jQUU5e0.net.

Be a politician.

It's facing..

121: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:44:13.58 ID:e4ezyS2H0.net.

It's said that you end up as an actor with such a trivial statement.

Mrs. Devi is much more of a problem statement.

132: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:46:10.86 ID:m8gI8V3u0.net.

not an essential netouyo person.

It's too beaten, so let's leave it up to the internet and make a remark.

Be lifted and carried more than necessary.

remember saying, "They don't do these guys...".

worried about the blogs that Takaoka reported on TV.

139: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:47:28.67 ID:BzuNCB8j0.net.

Didn't get a job offer for years, not retirement? w.

207: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:02:33 ID:6XMsTYD60.net.

>>139

That's why retired..

157: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:51:26.59 ID:PvXsw+4c0.net.

Miyazaki Aoi is scary.

V6 Okada wasn't hit even though he had a net flirt with looting.

Even though Tode was hit so much.

163: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:52:43.92 ID:Th28nHR50.net.

>>157

Miyazaki did not spread the affair itself.

That is the darkness. The affair partner also has the strongest shield.

184: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 04:57:14 ID:VFwEJJAF0.net.

Because of that turmoil.

From the time when Aoi Miyazaki was jerky.

think it went mad.

good job

202: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 05:01:16.83 ID:Mq5JP+N20.net.

>>184

When he looks into the abyss, he says he is also looking into it.

A person whose words apply.

Even though the actor was in good shape and got married to Miyazaki, the flow came.

think he's the one who changed his life by looking at him.
