What's up, Task Force? This week on Movie Club, we're covering the 2000 movie Battle Royale. We chose this movie because it really set the genre for what we know today as Battle Royale movies and games. Catch the episode and support us directly over at redwebpod.com. This was a thing that I really liked that they had in the movie that I really enjoyed in the book.
At the end of every chapter, you would have how many were left and how many died. So it was so cool to read what would happen and the deaths throughout. And then at the end of the chapter, it would be like 40 to go. And it's like,
Oh my God, like it's counting down. It's also so like eerily passive where you're like, you're right, Fredo. In Hunger Games, they're like fireworks and there's this giant display and almost like a morning of like a celebration slash morning. But here it's just silently fades onto screen. Name, number, gone.
it's it's wild back to the rules the island is split into zones their callers monitor their heart rate and tracks them on the island there's no way to take them off if they try to or are still in a zone after it's been deemed a no-go zone then boom goes the caller nobu at this point freaks out and retaliates against gitano and fights a student in the process
Katano turns on Nobu's collar and then as the beeping escalates, Nobu is running around to different students asking for help. They back off and boom goes Nobu's collar, spilling blood all over his best friend Shuya, boy number seven, dead 40 to go.
I'm like, stop popping off these kids in the class. We haven't even begun yet. I know. And Katana's like, well, I'm not really supposed to be doing this. It's cathartic.
He's killing two students.
It's definitely morbidly cathartic. He's like, yeah, he's scratching an itch or something.
It is a cool start because, yeah, it hasn't even properly started. So it's building this anticipation, this tension of like, oh, all hell is going to break loose when they hit that start bell. Yeah.
