Battle Royale

Like I know the whole point of this and hunger games is that you’re ultimately watching kids/teens doing this stuff and it’s supposed to make you think about what we’re doing to our children. But while saying that, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these types of movies be that obvious of their theme of loss of innocence. The juxtaposition of the basketball game to the island of death is really striking. Although it’s quite a simple contrast, the movie and the timing in which the juxtaposing shots are placed make it very striking and moving for some reason. Great stuff Another one for the “life isn’t the opposite of death, it’s love” list
