60 of 198 · most liked firstMovie recommendation for tonight, Battle Royale This is one of those movies I kinda assume everyone's seen at least once, but if you've not? It's a masterpiece.
positive · AI labelView post →Every "deadly game show/tournament" movie -- Battle Royale, The Quick and the Dead, Squid Game -- asks you to be entertained just like the in-universe spectators. You want an over-the-top villain for Arnold to kill in a cool way, you wanna find out what the next squid game is

neutral · AI labelView post →Battle Royale movie but instead of Japanese students it's ska bands
neutral · AI labelView post →Not seen it in years, but there's this bit in the movie Battle Royale where the protag wakes up in a house on the island and it's got several girls working and living together and they're like "oh just because the rules require us to be at each other's throats, it doesn't mean we have to do that!"

neutral · AI labelView post →I wrote about the 25th anniversary of Battle Royale, a wonderfully violent film which correctly asserts that authoritarianism is rooted in scapegoats and bloodlust: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...
positive · AI labelView post →📽️ FYI for Battle Royale (JP movie) fans 🎞️ Battle Royale is celebrating 25th anniversary since release from April 4 and the film will be released in select theaters around Japan (but not all regions) for a limited time. You can check out the list of theaters here: www.cinematoday.jp/news/N0147734

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Battle Royale (1999) by Koushun Takami was adapted to film in 2000. The film changes a great deal, shedding its political overtones and setting within an alternate reality Japan that won WWII. The acclaimed action film condenses the storyline successfully. 🪂🔫👑 #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →In the early 2000s, I first became aware of Taro Yamamoto in the film "Battle Royale." He's now a politician in Japan at the national level, and he was recently campaigning at my station. Fairly surreal to see, but I like that life is weird.
neutral · AI labelView post →just rediscovered this design i drew up a while back for the movie Mayhem starring Steven Yuen and Samara Weaving. fun little flick, kinda Office Space meets Battle Royale lol. give it a shot if you ever come across it
neutral · AI labelView post →The girl saw Battle Royale and liked it but didn't love it, which is fair. Not sure it's the sort of movie one falls in love with. But an important movie to have seen. Next up, on my recommendations: two out of LONE STAR, GOSFORD PARK, and M (Peter Lorre version).

neutral · AI labelView post →Before Hunger Games, The Purge and the 2024 Election, there was Battle Royale; Kinji Fukasaku's final film. The failure of humanity, depicted through unapologetic, concise bursts of violence; appropriately helmed by Fukasaku's cinematic heir Takeshi Kitano. #filmsky #japan #battleroyale #fukasaku
positive · AI labelView post →In 4x4: THE EVENT, eight contestants enter an illegal sensory-assault livestream where they must kill or be killed... using only what they can order online. NEON has acquired the upcoming film from director Alex Ullom (It Ends). It's described as Battle Royale meets Saw.
neutral · AI labelView post →There is a lot that plenty of people get wrong about Battle Royale. It is easy to highlight how cool or funny it is but this is also an intensely angry film where deep seeded pain can't help but boil over. It hit hard in the early 2000s but it hits like a fucking truck now.
positive · AI labelView post →Come January 12, the anniversary of Kinji Fukasaku’s death, spare a thought for the brilliant director who leveraged his own traumatic experiences to make "Battle Royale," without which shows like #SquidGame might never have existed. Details in my new article: www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainmen...

neutral · AI labelView post →Out now on Overinvested: BATTLE ROYALE! IMO you can absolutely enjoy this ep without watching the film. We spend a lot of time discussing Battle Royale's creative backstory, its controversial reception, and its potential influence on things like The Hunger Games and Squid Game.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched Battle Royale, good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #201 "Battle Royale" (Kinji Fukasaku/2000) The turn of the century brought with it a most ferocious film about the last student standing. Amazing film and violent as fuck. Fukasaku knocking another one out of the park!

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the director’s cut of Battle Royale last night. Insanely important movie. Definitely one of the most influential pieces of are of the 21st century….i just wish everything the culture extrapolated from it wasn’t so completely tone-deaf to what that novel and film was about.
positive · AI labelView post →My last night to myself before S/O returns so I’m watching the kind of thing he won’t want to watch, Battle Royale, 2001 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s come to our attention that the 10 min pre-screening content for the BATTLE ROYALE 4k restoration rerelease contains some spoilers to the film. While we unfortunately can’t do anything about it because it’s built into the file, we recommend skipping the intro if you want to remain spoiler-free!

neutral · AI labelView post →There's nothing "contrarian" about it, it was an illustrative turn of phrase in a film review. I'm sorry I didn't like White Girl Battle Royale as much as you did, but I promise you there wasn't some nefarious conspiracy behind anything I said. I just didn't think the movie was good.

neutral · AI labelView post →For no reason at all, I'd like to recommend the 25 year old razor-sharp Battle Royale movie adaptation by Kinji Fukusaku, as well as the behind the scenes documentary. youtu.be/xdWSOQVK4yY?...
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's film I'm watching was released in Japan on this day December 16th 2000, I first discovered it at 2am on TV when I was 12, it was one of the films that put me on the path to many great films from around the world and I am very thankful for it's existence. Battle Royale (2000)
positive · AI labelView post →Movie watches for August! New-to-me favourites included Before Midnight, Phantom Thread, and The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Favourite rewatch goes to the always perfect Battle Royale :) What were your favourites from last month?
positive · AI labelView post →Hell of a movie. I think I referred to it as Battle Royale II done right.

neutral · AI labelView post →Very validating to me as someone for whom it was my first live action Japanese film that wasnt BATTLE ROYALE or based on a manga. I will never not brag that my first live music experience was seeing Anna Tsuchiya play Anime Expo when i was 13! I still style myself like Ichiko lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, the distinction between "writer" and "author" tells me that he doesn't know the Battle Royale movie was based on a long running manga.

The girl(16) wanted to watch Battle Royale. Insane, brutal, sharp as. We went to see Marty Supreme. Pell-mell, brilliant, unexpected.
positive · AI labelView post →You should check out the Japanese film that Hunger Games was based on. Battle Royale.

neutral · AI labelView post →OOOOOOOOOOOOOR you could watch the Japanese film from the 2000's called Battle Royale where a bunch of students are sent to a remote island because of the BR act to kill each other for 3 days or the explosive collars they're wearing will explode and kill everyone.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ya know what? Still a great movie. It escalates quicker than I remembered. These youth are out of control. This is why the Battle Royale was eventually created. 📽
positive · AI labelView post →The titanium ring with the lithium battery in it thing reminds, a little bit, of the neck collars in Battle Royale. {thinks} Might rewatch this, though it now seems a bit on the nose / a little too close to a near future tech-fascism possibility.
neutral · AI labelView post →A bunch of men locked in a room until one emerges…picking a pope or bathhouse battle royale? Either way, sounds gay. (Also now I want a Bathhouse Battle Royale movie)
neutral · AI labelView post →I always wanted a version of the movie Battle Royale. Dump the 30 richest on an Island, the last one left gets to keep their money. Everyone else’s assets get used to help the environment, housing, social programs around the world. Keep doing it till we get rid of most of the billionaires. 😈
