PLOT

In this scathing social satire, 42 9th graders are sent to a deserted island.
They are given a map, food, and various weapons. A collar is fitted around their neck.
If they break a rule, the collar explodes.
Their mission: kill each other and be the last one standing.
The last survivor is allowed to leave the island. If there is more than one survivor, the collars explode and kill them all.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this film, even though the acting sucks majorly. And I found myself loving the psycho Kiriyama haha!

I heard that there will be a remake of this? I also read one volume of the manga and it seems very intriguing.

Anyway, my favorite storyline is the kid who has a crush on someone but is too shy to say it. The one who has a girl bestfriend and his bestfriend is in love with him. I want to watch it now again

Thanks for opening this thread!

Hi everyone; we’ve briefly discussed this movie in the Foreign films thread in the past, but I thought it deserved its own thread because there’s so much to talk about (be it school cliques, extreme violence, the education system etc) and it’s quite a cult classic.


If you want to be added, please just ask in the thread or PM.


Discuss!

Thanks for this Gwen! I haven't watched this one in years, I'd need to remember a lot!

There's been rumour of an American version of this for years, but nothing has come from it.

I'm pleased. The American remake of OLDBOY was dull.


Favorite scene(s)? Favorite pairing?

For me, it was the love story between Sugimura and Kotohiki They were like the Romeo + Juliet of the story. Just as he finds her, tragedy strikes -

It is a heart-stopping moment when she realizes that he wasn't going to hurt her She reacts on impulse and immediately regrets it.


I recommend watching the Extended Cut It includes many flashbacks that delve further in to the characters' histories.

It's been on Netflix and then gets removed. So when it's added again, I'll have to watch.

Great I don't like that people call it "the original Hunger Games." It's its own thing.

That's just stupid IMO. I've heart it too, and it's just to garner attention to a movie IMO.
