mazzrick has a spectacular aura about
Has anyone seen the japanese movie battle royale. It's not quite along the same lines as the Muppets or Sesame Street. It's more troubled than either but very thought provoking. It's set in a hypothetical futuristic Japan where Germany and Japan won World War II. Ironically, society collapses and there is a large anti-youth faction of the government, so they impliment the Battle Royale Act, in which a 9th grade class chosen at random every year is sent to an island where they all must kill each other until there is only one left alive. Like I said not very reminiscient of the Muppets. It's a very interesting movie whether you agree that it is a social commentary of just a gorey movie. I would recomend it if you're still interested after the synopsis.
