Custom essays on Japanese Cinema include some of the most twisted movies ever made. The most noted is Nagisa Oshima's "In the Real of the Senses", which made a lot of fuss during its year of release (1976). Another one is "Battle Royale" by innovative filmmaker Kinji Fukusaku.

Based on the novel of the same title by Koushun Takani, the movie is like "Lord of the Flies" set in a dystopian society. Movies of this kind are dimes a dozen, which numerous custom essays discussed in great detail, but Fukusaku gave it a fresh (yet violent) twist.

The first thirty minutes gave me an idea of what to expect; students are on their way on a class trip. They were gassed and kidnapped along the way. When they gained consciousness, they found out that they're in an abandoned school. The government is responsible for the kidnapping, and informs them about the Battle Royale Act. Japanese society is on a collapse, and millions are unemployed. Hundreds of thousands of youths boycotted school. Adults lost confidence and are scared of the young ones, so the Act is enforced to guarantee that teenagers wouldn't overtake what remains of society.

The violence in the film is so graphic that it puts Quentin Tarantino to shame. Amidst the killings and the blood-covered bodies, Fukusaku managed to find humor in it; actor/comedian Takeshi Kitano, who plays the government official in charge of the students' demise, is partly responsible for it.

"Battle Royale" gets its inspiration from the British apocalyptic novels that were written during the first half of the 20th century. George Orwell is the most prominent writer of this sub-genre. He'll be pleased when he sees Fukusaku's work.
