| Has anyone seen the japanese movie Battle Royale. It's not quite along the same lines as the Muppets or Sesame Street, just a touch 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 the children become highly delinquent. There is a large anti-youth faction of the government who impliments 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. |
