whoaBattle Royale has one of the best plot lines (and "fan following":http://www.battleroyaleonline.com/): Ninth grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food and various arms. They have to fight each other three days long until the last one remains and are forced to wear a special collar which will explode when they break a rule. The Japanese are an absolutely amazing people.

Do any of your Japanese co-workers understand the ending better than we did?

Hey, just finished watching it, as the dvd is being passed around my office. Nice to see something different in movie-making. I especially enjoyed the countdown each time someone was wacked.
