BATTLE ROYALE

I just finished the book, and it was so awesome, more better than the movie!
I heart about this american remake-thing too. The americans have no own ideas?! Why have they always make remakes from asian movies? First Ringu, than Ju-On and now BR! I know it now, that it'll be a horrible movie!

does anyone have this movie?

I saw this movie a few weeks ago. (hopefully it's the same one y'all are talking about) and I enjoyed it! I liked Kou's character the best. Sometimes I have my days where i wish I could pull this off iwth my own students. ;) :hehe:

Well this wasn't my first experience with her. I saw her in Orange Days, which she was awesome in. I wonder if Battle Royale was her first acting gig. :headscratch:

I don't know about that, but her performance in this movie is haunting.

Creepy-haunting.

Battle Royale was okay. The second one was just plain stupid.

That's what I've heard so I've been hesitating to watch the second one. I heard the story doesn't work with the first one.

I agree. Though the first one really depressed me, it at least had a point. A point that I don't really agree with, but a point none the less.

The second one... meh. I wasn't moved by it.

watched the second one just to be able to say i watched both. haha. but i like tatsuya, so it wasn't mostly a waste of time.

it was only Fujiwara and Maeda...

i thought this movie was kinda disturbing but i enjoyed it. part two had it's own point to it from my point of veiw. it's not so bad when you dun compared the two parts. I say, just watch it if you haven't seen the second one.

I have seen battle royale 1, and I personally liked the concept a lot but I agree that a part 2 with more or less the same storyline would get boring rather quickly.

As a teacher myself, you can see why I was intrigued by the story. :mrgreen:

LOL, we could rename this thread Gokusen 1 and 2 and not miss a step, ne? :hehe:

Perhaps LOL.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think I will watch the first one at least :)

Although the list of things I have to watch is very long.

hahaha! tell me about it... i have a whole list... and i haven't dl one of em... *shame*...

Actually I think Battle Royale 1 is much better, but no harm in watching Battle Royale 2 too :|
its not the same story. =)
like what happened in Gokusen 1 and 2 =)

I havent seent Battle Royale in a few years, but it is one that I would actually like it own. I loved it, and I also really liked the book.

However, I haven't seen the second movie either... people told me to stay away from it because it sucked. ^^;
