バトル・ロワイアル
Battle Royale
What if your high school field trip turned into a fight for survival? In a dystopian version of Japan, one ninth-grade class learns the brutal answer when they become unwilling participants in the government’s annual Battle Royale program. Forced onto a deserted island, each student is given a weapon and a simple, horrifying directive: kill or be killed until only one remains. Directed by Kinji Fukasaku, this 2000 cult classic blends action, thriller, and dystopian horror into a gripping and unsettling experience. The film explores themes of authority, desperation, and the loss of innocence, as friendships fracture and morality is tested under extreme pressure. Battle Royale remains a raw and influential piece of cinema, known for its unflinching intensity and social commentary. Watch it to understand the origins of the survival game genre and to witness a story that is as thought-provoking as it is visceral.
