Following the Cheng Chieh Taipei MRT attack, the media criticized the film ‘Battle Royale’ as a negative influence. But is this fair?
🔪 About ‘Battle Royale’
‘Battle Royale’ is a Japanese novel by Koushun Takami, later adapted into a manga and film. Despite its violent themes, the story delves into the human spirit’s struggle for survival.
🎭 Media Labeling
The media’s labeling of ‘Battle Royale’ as a negative influence oversimplifies its themes. The film’s essence lies in its exploration of the human condition, not just its violent scenes.
What we see determines who we become.
If you focus on the violence, perhaps the problem lies within.
