Battle Royale: The movie!
Okay, much love for Duncan, for he illegally downloaded the Battle Royale movie and we watched it! Yay for murderous Japanese teenagers!
Hmm. Weirdest movie I've seen for a long while.
Probably the most artistic of the three BR media. Really got an impression of how beautiful the island was, despite all the death. Also more subtle in places, like not seeing Yuko jump.
The lighthouse scene was really good, the best of all three, I think. Really realistic.
I loved Shinji's virus! With the little basketball guy ^_^ and again, the poignancy of how close they got really came through.
I liked Noriko much better than I did in the manga. Also loved Shuuya, Yoshi and Kawada. Kawada is like the coolest guy, like, ever. < /fangirl>
Kiriyama is just nasty. Sorry, but he is.
Mitsuko is... odd. Not as much of a total bitch as she is in the manga. Dunno what I think about her really.
I think we were missing a few bits; there was no Mitsuko-flashback and no basketball game.
Takako is fucking scary. Niida was an idiot, but Takako... eep. She just lost it.
Hiroki was lovely.
The use of classical music was weird. Sometimes funny. Not sure it was always intentionally funny. I was surprised at how much black comedy there was in the film, actually.

Shogo and Shinji are eye candy deluxe as are Mitsuko and Takako. *.*
I didn't like movie!Kiriyama. But I loved when Shogo came back to get his bag and bumped into Kazuo on purpose! No wonder people like to slash them.
I'm glad I've seen the movie first of all there is to BR. I'd have been disappointed if it'd been the other way around.

Movie!Mitsuko and Takako both scare me too much for me to fangirl them.
That was a very significant glance that passed between them in the corridor... made me see more why people support that pairing.
I wasn't disappointed, although it did feel like the story was told much faster, which I suppose it was. But I don't hate the movie or anything; some of the changes worked really well.
