Battle Royale (2000)
10/10
A true Asian classic
27 September 2005
If Battle Royale is a Japanese food, it would be Sushi. If Filipino, it is Kare-Kare. That are some examples of classic Asian foods, and if Battle Royale is food, it is a true Asian classic. The story of BR is about 42 students trapped inside an island in 3 days and force to kill each other until only one survives. Shocking isn't it? Well, it certainly is. The storyline is very interesting, classic and easy to follow. The acting is also superb, the main casts and great, and the supporting cast was good. The violence, which was one of the main themes of the movie, was pretty "hard to swallow". It's obviously hard to swallow cause I can't take a look on uniformed cute girls and guys killing each other, but in the end I realize that the whole movie is brutally beautiful.

Battle Royale is an Asian classic, a classic that was made by the late Kinji Fukasaku. Violence is never been so beautiful like this...
