There is a lot that plenty of people get wrong about Battle Royale. It is easy to highlight how cool or funny it is but this is also an intensely angry film where deep seeded pain can't help but boil over.

2025? Pretty bad for US science.
That just motivated us more.
In 2025 we reached people on the street, at the bar, in the classroom, at the rec center, in the park, & more
