I was wondering if anyone saw this movie. I happened to see it, though I haven't seen the second one yet. Yes, I know it was made in 1999.
It's about a group of 42 junior high students who are placed on a small island by an oppressive government (the island was previously inhabited but evacuated beforehand). They are given weapons and told they must kill each other, as well as a set of rules (things like "one person must die every 24 hours or everyone dies") and let loose as a sort of 'experiment'. The story follows a small group of three induviduals for the most part as they try to find a way to save themselves/the others (although that isn't to say all of the other characters are neglected; they all get some time in the spotlight at one point or another). I watched the movie and liked it very much, but the book was much better if you ask me -- went much more in depth about the characters and their feelings. I haven't seen the second film yet either though.
I have seen the first movie, but only like 30 hour of the second (coz it was on youtube and you know how crap that can be) Anyway in the second one, there are new rules and their crueler than the first.. Your in pairs and if one dies, so does the other. I did like the first movie, though it was sad in some parts.. the protagonist girl, I forgot her name, the onethat killed nearly half of the murdered, I actually felt bad for her, coz she just didn't want to be a "loser" anymore.
I got the movie on my iPod *insert lolface here* I love it. My friend and I refer to Kiriyama as Sephiroth because of that scene at the end when he's walking through the fire. Shuya was my favourite character, Nobu... I hated B| My favourite girl character was Chigusa, I went teary-eyed when she died though ]=
Well aside the blood spurting everywhere when someone got shot or stabbed, it wasn't that funny. In fact, it was actually quiet a dark movie if you really think about it.
