Battle Royale is a gruesome movie that explains what happens to a group of ninth graders from the collapsing Japanese government. Because the children in this society are so disrespectful, the government issued the Battle Royale Law. It stated that once a year a ninth grade class will be transferred to a remote island to fight for survival until one winner is chosen. In addition to this, they must challenge each other in three days, or all of the electronic collars on their necks will instantly explode. One of the main topic that the group explained during their presentation was that this movie contained many similarities like The Hunger Games. Both of the movies had a government that randomly the children and displayed a love interest with the main characters. In contrast, in Battle Royale, the facilities did not provide training for the children, but they showed them a video explaining the instructions of the game. Also, the children were not allowed to select their weapons, and it was difficult to distinguish and determine the main characters. Also, both of the movies had a facility that …show more content…
It helped me understand the state of the Japanese government, and the reasons and purpose behind the BR Law. Compared to The Hunger Games, the killing scene were more gruesome in this movie, which made this movie more difficult to watch. Aside from this point, I enjoyed this more due to the constant suspense, especially towards the end of the movie. It was shocking when Kawada formed an alliance with Shuya and Noriko throughout the movie, but he betrayed them by shooting the friends since they were the last people remaining in the game. Shockingly, all of the them survived the game, killed Kitano, and traveled back to their hometown by a boat. It was unfortunate to see Kawada die from a gunshot wound by Kiriyama, but it was comforting to see that friendship dominated over violence and
Science fiction writers create a particular setting not only to entertain readers but to give clues on lessons they believe human beings are struggling to understand. In both books, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are introduced as the main characters to project the criticisms made by the author. Susan Collins creates a Dystopian society ruled by the Capital. Different areas of their country, named Panem, are separated into different districts. Two kids from each of the twelve districts are chosen at random to fight in an arena until 1 tribute is left, this is called The Hunger Games Both Peeta and Katniss fight together during the hunger games as a team from District 12. Between the two books, Collins portrays the idea that humans tend to be disrespectful and insulting, depending on another's wealth and/or authority and power. Both The Hunger Games and Catching Fire connect with readers but also indicated the problem with certain human behaviors that most people don't notice or fail to
Where does the line of sport and murder intersect in hunting? Is it when the species being hunted is able to reason? Or is it when the species being hunted looks just like the hunter? In both movie and film, we see a man fight for his life and another going against all codes of ethics. While Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” and Ernest B. Schoedsack’s film adaptation both have several similarities, the difference are also apparent in each respective media.
When Rainsford falls off of the boat, he has to try his best to stay afloat until he can find something to latch on to. He swims vigorously until he reaches Ship-Trap Island. "Jagged crags appeared to jut up into the opaqueness... dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs." It is midday and he is just searching for a place to rest when he runs into Ivan, the astonishingly large guard of the island. Zaroff, the owner of the island, joins in on their conversation about hunting. The conversation is interesting to say the least. Zaroff says, "You'll find this game worth playing…your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine. Outdoor chess! And the stake is not without value, eh?" Zaroff is trying to point out that he finds interest in hunting humans, and he wants to know if Rainsford will rise to the challenge. Rainsford is left with a choice to make; will he fight Zaroff, or will he decline and get killed by Ivan. The choice in this situation is pretty self- evident.
Which is better, the ‘Classic’ or the ‘Modern’ novel? After reading the classic novel, ‘Lord of the flies’ and the Modern novel, The Hunger Games, it is clear that the classic novel won the battle between old and new. Lord of the Flies, written by William Goulding is a novel about a young group of school boys who’s plane was shot down over a deserted island and they must try to survive. The boys are free from the rules of society and the instinct to work toward civilisation and order slowly defends into savagery, violence and chaos. The Novel, The Hunger Games by Susanne Collins is an action packed story of Katniss Everdeen who is forced to take police in the violent Hunger Games. Katniss must endure many deadly situations, learn to control how she is perceived and manage complex relationships in order to survive in the games. The major theme of innocence and the main characters of these novels where compared in order to justify which novel was better.
The hunger games and Animal farm sharing a lot of the same qualities including betrayal, propaganda and dictatorship, make the two similar and comparable. Both films/books show how abuse of power can change the whole configuration of a community. The distinction between the higher and lower class is also underlined.
The leaves crunch under your feet. Wind is blowing through the trees and through your hair.Your heart leaps every time you hear or see something move. You are hunting. This is something both Rainsford, from “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, and Travis, from “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, love to do. In “The Most Dangerous Game,” Rainsford gets stranded on an unkempt island and has to, as a game, try to outsmart the man who owns the island without getting killed. In “A Sound of Thunder,” Travis goes back in time with a group of people to kill a t-rex. Travis and Rainsford are both similar because hunting is a big part in both of their day-to-day lives, and it’s something they both love a lot. As I said earlier, Rainsford and
Why is the hunger games book series banned in some school districts? So the books, even be banned. The hunger games series is about two teen Defeat the strong capital rules, by falling in love with each other and deciding not to kill each other forcing the game makers of the capitol to change the rules of the game and let cattness and Petta live, (main charters). But Now in catching fire the story changes a bit. The teens need to battle again. With the capitol ,people and love. There are a lot of the graphic parts in the story, but I believe that any 9th grader should be able to handle it.
Bethune also talked abut the movie Battle Royale which was about a high school class that due to a BR act they was supposed to kill each other in a deathmatch, in which collars were placed on their necks because if any of the students tried to escape or behaved uncooperatively, the collars would explode and they would die either way. According to Bethune, this movie was related to the Hunger Games because the students were in a similar position as Katniss Everdeen and everybody else during the Hunger Games; however, due to Battle Royale being too graphic and disturbing to the audience, it was banned in a lot of countries, whereas the Hunger Games with its teen homicide environment, made it to the main screen of a lot of countries.

Imagine being in a game where everyone dies except for one victor, and you have to risk your life to save your little sister’s life. Also imagine not being able to speak freely in your own home. These are some examples of how dystopian governments take control of the people in the societies in dystopian novels. The governments of 1984 and The Hunger Games share the dystopian goal of dehumanizing their citizens in order to maintain and win control over the citizens. The Party and the Capitol are after power, and whoever has control of the people in a society has has all the power.
