He should rip it off as his final film
I can't believe Squid Game ripped off Battle Royale, thanks for the insightful article comrade.
The original BR is an amazing piece of social critique, and the worst thing about it was that it's success spawned endless copycats that miss the point so bad.
Knowing Tarantino he'll just cast Takeshi Kitano in the exact same role
The director of Battle Royal was 80 years old and grew up under fascism and the occupation. I'm curious if its partly about his youth.
I remember watching that movie back in the day with my high school friends. Fun times.
I mean its the original but I think the idea of throwing a bunch of people into an arena and last man standing gets to live isn't that unique of a concept.
It's based on reality. Humans sometimes throw living beings into cages with each other and force them to fight to the death. No one 'invented' it.
I didn't realize there were a bunch of similarities, I've never read battle royal and I think I only ever saw the movie while high.
He says he has one more proper films though yeah? I don't feel like he could fot enough rugged old men into this one to make it his ultimate film.
