Cult Movie

Saturday evening I was to my friend’s house. He has invited me to watch a very action style movie, told me that it is a Japanese cult movie. I was extremely curious about it; I knew that if Sasha is recommending it, then it should be something must to watch and definitely unusual.
As I have arrived, he has prepared very nice dinner; for the starter it was meat with spaghetti and the main dish was Grechka with milk (or vise versa). Using this opportunity I have asked him for a Grechka pack present and was greeted with one.
The movie presented a couple of years ago, “Battle Royale”, directed by a guy named Tarantino of Japan, was found to be very violent and hard for viewing.
The story behind the movie is ridicules; 40 high school students, girls and boys, are kidnapped to an isolated island by their school teacher. The teacher whom they hated ruled a survival code; only one surviving person will be allowed to return home. If after three days of activity there will be more then one alive, everybody will be killed.
The idea is ridicules, but it is very interesting to see that the group of close friends becomes suddenly to an enemies killing each other.
I just don’t know if to recommend this movie. After watching it I have mixed filings of wasted time and on the other hand of an original idea, maybe these complicated emotions do make a movie to become a cult one. If a tuning to modern life is important for you it definitely worth watching, otherwise don’t bother.



btw, it would be nice to check the Japaniese opinion about it ....

לא מזמן סיפרו לי על הסרט הזה והאמת... הוא נשמע לי פשוט מזעזע!
לדעתי, גם מקצת הסרטים שראיתי וספרים שקראתי - הראש של יפנים לא ניתנים לפיענוח על ידינו.
עולם אחר לגמרי!

Hi Marinochka,
Let me disagree with you.
I definitely think that this movie
can be interesting in terms of human being behavior in life threat conditions where behavioral norms does not makes any sense (nobody cant help nobody). I think that their behavior declines to the level of survival reflexes.
I will let you know my opinion after I see this movie.
Yaroslavchik Privet.
