Everybody loves a good teen movie, and the genre has a lot of competition.

大家都喜歡好看的青少年電影，而這個類型競爭也很激烈。

You've got John Hughes classics like the Breakfast club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

你有像 Breakfast club 和 Ferris Bueller's Day Off 這樣的 John Hughes 經典。

90s teen rom coms like 10 Things I Hate about you and she's all that.

還有 90 年代的青少年浪漫喜劇，像是 10 Things I Hate about you 和 she's all that。

Richard Linklater's coming of age comedy Dazed and Confused or like the Fault in Our Stars and Love Simon.

Richard Linklater 的成長喜劇 Dazed and Confused，或是像 Fault in Our Stars 和 Love Simon。

You could even throw all eight Harry Potter movies into the mix.

你甚至可以把全部八部 Harry Potter 電影都加進來。

But when I search ranker.com, which everybody knows is the authority on ranking stuff, I'm disappointed to find that my favorite teen movie doesn't even crack the top 100.

但當我在 ranker.com 上搜尋時，大家都知道 ranker.com 是排名界的權威，卻發現我最愛的青少年電影竟然連前一百名都擠不進去，真讓人失望。

Of course I'm talking about Kenji Fukasaku's turn of the millennium masterpiece, Battle Roya.

我當然是在說 Kenji Fukasaku 千禧年之際的傑作，Battle Royale。

The premise of Battle Royale is really simple.

Battle Royale 的劇情設定其實很簡單。

In a dystopian Japan, a classroom of teenagers is chosen every year and shipped to an island where they have to fight to the death until only one is left standing.

在日本的虛構反烏託邦裡，每年都會選出一班青少年，送他們到一個島上，在那裡他們必須互相殘殺，直到只剩下一個人活著。

You might recognize this premise from the Hunger Games books, the first of which came out eight years after Battle Royale and nine years after the book by Kasho and Takami on which it's based.

你可能從 Hunger Games 系列小說裡認出這個設定，而 Hunger Games 的第一集比 Battle Royale 早了八年出版，比它改編的 Kasho and Takami 小說晚了九年。

This concept is also the basis for the hugely popular video game Battle Royale and its predecessor, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which was at least in part inspired by Fukasaku's movie.

這個概念也是超受歡迎的電玩 Battle Royale 和它的前身 PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 的基礎，PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 至少有一部分是受到 Fukasaku 電影的啟發。

Unlike the Hunger Games, Battle Royale is remarkably contained.

跟 Hunger Games 不同的是，Battle Royale 的格局非常小。

There is no larger world, no political intrigue, plotline.

沒有更宏大的世界觀，沒有政治陰謀，情節線。

The audience is just dumped into this horrific situation with the characters, and

觀眾和角色們一起被丟進這個可怕的處境，

we experience its shocks as they do, and they are shocks.

我們和他們一起體驗它的震撼，而它確實是震撼。

It's definitely a violent movie, but it's the execution of violence that makes Battle Royale so great, and

這絕對是一部暴力電影，但正是暴力呈現的方式讓 Battle Royale 如此出色，

this should come as no surprise, though I didn't know this when I first saw the movie at summer camp, age 16.

這應該沒什麼好意外的，雖然我 16 歲在夏令營第一次看這部電影時並不知道。

Battle Royale is the final film of Japanese auteur Kinji Fukasaku.

Battle Royale 是日本作者 Kinji Fukasaku 的最後一部電影。

He made this incredibly vigorous film about teenagers at age 70, which is amazing.

他七十歲的時候拍了這部極具生命力的青少年電影，真的很厲害。

But by then, Fukasaku was a master, a criminally underappreciated master of Japanese and world cinema.

但那時候，深作欣二已經是位大師了，一位被嚴重低估的日本和世界電影大師。

He made his mark on the industry in the 1970s with a breathtaking series of films about Japanese gangsters, the Yakuza, in the chaos after World War II.

他在 1970 年代以一系列關於第二次世界大戰後混亂時期的日本黑幫 Yakuza 的震撼電影，在業界留下了深刻的印記。

Unlike the more traditional yakuza films, Fukasaku's movies have a wild, manic energy to them.

與傳統的 Yakuza 電影不同，深作欣二的電影充滿了狂野、瘋狂的能量。

The camerawork is designed to throw you into the action.

攝影技巧就是要讓你身歷其境。

It's a thrilling, disorienting experience to watch them, and

觀看這些電影是一種令人興奮、暈頭轉向的體驗，

Fukasaku's message in Those films comes through loud and clear.

深作欣二在那些電影裡傳達的訊息非常清晰。

In a society decimated by war, friendship, camaraderie, even the famous codes of honor of the yakuza only stretched so far.

在一個被戰爭摧毀的社會裡，友情、情誼，甚至是 Yakuza 著名的榮譽準則，都只能維持到一定程度。

And if someone could get an advantage by betraying his friend, he was more likely to do it than not.

如果有人能透過背叛朋友來獲得優勢，他更有可能這麼做。

In Fukasaku's films, the honorable ones are often the first to be killed.

在深作的電影裡，講義氣的人往往是第一個被殺死的。

In Battle Royale, the same philosophy holds.

在 Battle Royale 裡，這個道理也一樣適用。

In the chaos of the game, the speed at which friends turn to enemies can give you whiplash.

在遊戲的混亂中，朋友變成敵人的速度快到你會頭昏眼花。

And the violence, like the violence of the yakuza films, is sudden and devastating.

而且暴力，就像 Yakuza 電影裡的暴力一樣，是突如其來的，而且毀滅性的。

As a viewer, it's like you're one of the students.

身為觀眾，感覺就像是你也是那些學生之一。

It all comes so fast at the beginning that you just want to pause and get a grip on things.

一開始一切都來得太快了，讓你只想暫停一下，好好釐清狀況。

The ones who trust too liberally are the ones who get killed first.

那些過於輕信他人的人，往往是第一個被殺死的。

It may seem like Battle Royale is a fable of nihilism, with mindless, brutal killing doled out to anyone and everyone, but

Battle Royale 看起來或許像個虛無主義的寓言，充滿著對任何人、任何事都施加的無謂、殘酷的殺戮，但是

the violence in Fukasaku's vision has a purpose.

Like all great teen movies, Battle Royale is really about friendship.

就像所有偉大的青少年電影一樣，Battle Royale 其實是在講友情。

Fukasaku's interested in what friendship really means when the gloves are off in the most barbaric circumstances.

深作感興趣的是，在最野蠻的環境下，當大家都不再顧忌時，友情到底意味著什麼。

What does human connection mean in the context of humanity's capacity for unspeakable violence?

在人類有能力做出無法言語的暴力時，人際連結又代表什麼？

At that time, unspeakable violence was very much alive in the memory of the older generation in Japan.

那時候，無法言語的暴力在日本長輩的記憶中，可是非常鮮活的。

It tested them in ways that the younger generation couldn't begin to understand.

這考驗了他們，是年輕一代完全無法理解的。

This is what life was like for Fukasaku himself when he was 15, the same age as the students in the film.

這就是深作自己 15 歲時的生活，也就是電影裡學生的年紀。

In the movie, it's almost as if the older generation, represented by the teacher, devises the game as a way to communicate their experiences with the youth.

電影裡，彷彿長輩們，也就是老師所代表的，設計了這個遊戲，來跟年輕人溝通他們的經歷。

And it's almost as if Fukasaku made the film for the same reason.

而深作拍這部電影，也幾乎是出於同樣的原因。

Battle Royale is interested in the kind of friendship that can't be explored at high school, its friendship tainted by a deeply cruel world.

Battle Royale 探討的是那種在高中無法體驗的友情，這種友情被一個極度殘酷的世界所玷汙。

But it's all the more poignant when it persists in spite of that fact.

但即使這樣，它依然存在，這讓一切更加感人。

Fukasaku's last movie is a lot of things.

深作的最後一部電影，包羅萬象。

It's blackly comical, it's scary, it's a naked look at humanity, and

它黑色幽默、令人恐懼、赤裸裸地展現人性，而且

it's a gripping piece of balls to the wall entertainment, directed by a man with a lifetime of skill and experience.

它是一部引人入勝、火力全開的娛樂片，由一位擁有畢生技藝和經驗的導演執導。

It's a teen movie, and it deserves to be considered with the very best of that Gen.

這是一部青少年電影，絕對值得與同類型的頂尖作品並列。
