Greetings! Welcome to Books That Burn. I'm Robin, welcome to another book essay about something that was too big of a thought to fit into a normal review, specifically: Why Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong is not like The Hunger Games. Please feel free to send us suggestions for future essays. Before I get started, I'd like to thank our Patron who gets a monthly shoutout, Case Aiken. The support of our Patrons makes this podcast (and blog) possible, and we're grateful to all of you. When perusing other reviews of Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong, I've seen many comparisons to The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. This comparison is both slightly true and mostly unhelpful as a generalization, as what they have in common are either superficial genre features or not unique to The Hunger Games. I understand why the comparison occurs to people so I'd like to take it seriously. Nicole and I have covered The Hunger Games on our podcast, and I recently reviewed Immortal Longings.  I'll also make some reference to an earlier book with many of the same elements as later appeared in The Hunger Games: Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. You can find both parts of our podcast discussion on that book here (Part 1, Part 2), as well as my written review of Battle Royale. While I think it does make sense to compare and contrast them, these books are not interchangeable.  Please refer to the link for the full essay.

"Você apenas tem que lutar por si mesmo; ninguém vai te salvar. Isso é apenas a vida, certo?" Battle Royale (2000) é um filme que tem um conceito bem simples: um grupo de estudantes do ensino médio é forçado a lutar entre si até a morte em um evento televisionado, com a última pessoa em pé ganhando sua liberdade. Sua influência pode ser vista em muitos filmes, programas de TV e livros subsequentes que adotaram conceitos semelhantes, incluindo a franquia de grande sucesso Jogos Vorazes. Trabalhando diversas questões sociais, como violência, opressão e rebelião, o filme destaca os aspectos mais sombrios da natureza humana e levanta questões sobre a moralidade, os instintos de sobrevivência e as consequências da pressão social. O filme é baseado no romance “Battle Royale” de Koushun Takami, publicado em 1999, e se tornou um best-seller no Japão. O sucesso do livro levou à sua adaptação para um longa-metragem logo no ano seguinte, dirigido por Kinji Fukasaku, com a participação de Kenta Fukasaku no roteiro, ao lado de Takami. Nesse episódio que foi gravado em Abril de 2023, o Enquadrando vem com o time oficial: Fabio Rangel (@fabiomrangel), Rodrigo Carvalho (@_rodcarvalho), Daniel Cavalcanti (@daniaoc) e Gabriel Gaspar (@cinemagaspar); para debater sobre a obra, com destaque para alguns pontos: - Battle Royale: um sistema de controle; - O Fascismo presente no filme e suas referências; - As controvérsias em Battle Royale; - O que Battle Royale influenciou?  --- Siga nossas redes sociais e expanda essa conversa! email: contato@acaboudeacabar.com.br Twitter: @enquadrando_ Instagram: @enquadrando_oficial Youtube: youtube.com/Enquadrando TikTok: @enquadrando_oficial --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/enquadrando/message

Suzanne Collins we coming for you and to get Battle Royale their whole damn royalty checks that they are owed. Movie Synopsis: Battle Royale is a 2000 Japanese action-thriller film[4][5] directed by Kinji Fukasaku, with a screenplay written by Kenta Fukasaku, based on the controversial 1999 novel by Koushun Takami. Starring Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Tarō Yamamoto, and Takeshi Kitano, the film follows a group of junior-high-school students forced to fight to the death by the Japanese totalitarian government. The film drew controversy and was banned or excluded from distribution in several countries. Toei Company refused to sell the film to any United States distributor for over a decade due to concerns about potential controversy and lawsuits, until Anchor Bay Entertainment eventually acquired the film in 2010 for a direct-to-video release.

We're continuing the Most Dangerous Month with a Japanese cult classic that was effectively banned in the United States for over a decade. Based on the controversial 1999 novel by Koushun Takami, concerns over the film's violent content and recent school shootings made it difficult to find a distributor, as well as complicated rights issues around the film's international release. Featuring a group of schoolchildren forced to fight to the death, Quentin Tarantino called the film one of his favorites and its influences can be felt in properties like The Hunger Games and Squid Game - and games like PUBG and Fortnite. Now we're taking a class trip to the island for Battle Royale!    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Battle Royale skapte skandale da den kom i 1999, med sine skildringer av en skoleklasse hvor elevene blir tvunget til å drepe hverandre. Hvordan har boka tålt tidens tann? Med Thale Dobbert, Tomas Gustafsson og Åsmund Ådnøy.

Hi Friends. In this episode of TBR Lowdown: We discuss our April book club pick, Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, translated from the Japanese by Yuji Oniki. Battle Royale has been deemed a cult classic, so we had to see what all the fuss was about. Will it meet our expectations or will it fall flat for our reading tastes? Highlights:

In the thirty-ninth episode of Season 5 (Dystopia Myopia) Kyle is joined by script supervisor Katy Baldwin and writer/traveler Reagan Osborne to discuss the brutal interpretation on the battle of generational anxiety and the competitiveness of cultural testing in Kinji Fukasaku's daring adaptation of Koushun Takami's Battle Royale.

It's a Battle Royale this episode as we pit Koushun Takami's novel against Kinji Fukasaka's film. Special thanks to The Gamma Foundation for providing our theme music. Check them out on Spotify now!

On Episode 7 of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight play Red Light, Green Light, otherwise known as What's the Time Mr. Wolf! In Previously On…(3:50) Jason and Rosie celebrate DC's announcement of Jon Kent (aka the Superman of Earth) coming out as bisexual as well as the revival of the iconic Image comics series Saga by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples. In a mini-segment called The Editor's Note (10:48), X-Ray Vision producer (and 007 superfan) Chris Lord joins to toast (with a vodka martini of course) No Time to Die and speculate on the future of the franchise. In the Airlock (26:30) Jason and Rosie dive deep (deeeeep) into the Netflix smash hit Squid Game to unmask why the show and its capitalist critiques resonate so strongly. Next, this week's Hive Mind (59:50) features an insightful conversation between Jason and two of the producers behind Disney+'s anime anthology Star Wars: Visions. Finally, in The Endgame (1:19:50) Jason and Rosie select their own ‘Deadly Game' in which to compete (and hopefully not lose).

Saga, An iconic epic space opera in the truest possible sense; this comics fantasia tells the story of a wife & husband from warring planets, one highly technologic, the other magical, and their interplanetary adventures with their daughter and an ever-changing cast of oddballs, bounty hunters, & a robot-computer-sex-addict-prince (you read that right). Available in multiple compendiums, single issues, & more. Goldfinger, The 1964 third installment of the EON-produced 007 James Bond franchise, starring Sean Connery at the height of his prowess & charisma. While undoubtedly problematic for its portrayal of women and Koreans (specifically, characters Pussy Galore & Odd Job), the film also cemented the now trademark Bond formula of gadgets, close calls, & big action set pieces. It is considered by many to be the quintessential Bond film. Available on Hulu & more. Call of Duty: Warzone, Introduced on March 10, 2020, this free-to-play Battle Royale style game takes the incredibly popular Call of Duty FPS franchise in a slightly new direction by limiting game modes and utilizing large scale (shrinking) maps to give players room to collect cash, weaponry, and fight each other off. Battle Royale (2000), Literally the film by which most other works in this genre are named for and/or reference (see COD: Warzone above). Directed by Kinji Fukasaku and based on a book by Koushun Takami, the film follows the kill or be-killed antics of a group of delinquent school children. Highly controversial upon release for its violence & gore, it has gone on to such cult fame that it is essentially a widely popular film. Available here. Gambling Apocalypse: Kaiji, A Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuyuki Fukumoto that has been ongoing since 1996 and chronicles the very misadventurous escapades of an inveterate gambler named Kaiji Ito. The series has garnered wide acclaim, both critically and commercially, in Japan and beyond.

Battle Royale vol. 12   Art: Masayuki Taguchi Story/writer: Koushun Takami   English Translation by Keith Giffen   WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT! Kiriyama is "Donald Trump with a semi-automatic" Real talk on the "flow", rolling with the punches and how it can save your life.     Topics:   ·       Sugimura’s mortality ·       Indirect dialogue as a story telling technique ·       Flow and how it can save your life.     Firsts:   Kiriyama has a conversation with a fellow competitor, not done since vol 2.     Pop culture references:       Dragonball Z ·       “Donald Trump with a semi-automatic” Nanahara describing Kiriyama   ·       Serial Killers, Ted Bundy and Ed Gein     Synopsis:   Sugimura is in the middle of the fight for both his life and the woman he loves, Kayako. How can a man win against someone who is already dead on the inside? How do you fight someone who does not feel pity, remorse, frustration or fear? Sugimura must find answers to these questions if he is to defeat his enemy, Kazuo Kiriyama. A hard task when Kiriyama observes that Sugimura is having the flight or fight instinct kick in. An adrenaline rush has Sugimura vomit but the fight is evened out when Kayako threatens Kiriyama.   Sugimura harnesses the power of chi and enters a flow state, Kiriyama mimics Sugimura’s power and launches him into a tree. As the fight continues Sugimura is launched further, a brutal blow landed from behind. Kiriyama picks his gun up and attempts to kill Kayako only for gunfire to hail down on him. Sugimura literally allowed himself to go with the flow and roll with the punches, so that Kiriyama would launch him far enough to the machine gun that was previously dropped.   Kayako runs to Sugimura and in this moment, he confesses his love to her. Kiriyama creeps up on them. Sugimura is late to realise that Kiriyama acquired body armour before the fight.   Immediately Sugimura regrets confessing his love as Kayako chooses to die by his side. He watches her die and Sugimura dies soon after.   Later that day, Mitsuko Soma finds a house to wash herself and masturbates in the lounge. Kiriyama is in the neighbouring house and suturing a gunshot wound he sustained during Sugimura’s fight.   The remaining contestants, Noriko, Nanahara and Kawada stay together and brace themselves for what’s to come. Kawada draws a Rorschach test consisting of Kanji symbols and philosophises on the nature of evil. He deduces that Soma became sick and would laugh at the test but Kiriyama is different, a sociopath that does not laugh. He hopes that the gunshots he heard was a fight between Soma and Kiriyama. But he also believes that Kiriyama will kill Soma and Sugimura.   Instagram –  weappreciatemanga.co.uk Twitter - @RealJamesFitton Website – Weappreciatemanga.com Email – Weappreciatemanga@gmail.com

A film based on the manga/book written by Koushun Takami, Battle Royale is a story about a facist Japanese government who kidnap a group of "troublesome youths" and force them to fight to the death on a deserted island. Basically it's a total ripoff of the hunger games :^)

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: September 24th, 1990 --- MacGyver saves the life of an enemy soldier and tries to earn his captor's friendship. MISSION: MacGyver finds himself the hostage of an enemy combatant. Rather than plan an escape, MacGyver does his best to keep his kidnapper alive as Stockholm syndrome slowly takes hold. This week's highlights include:   Here is that JonTron review of "A Talking Cat!?!" we mentioned. Battle Royale (Film) Battle Royale (バトル・ロワイアル Batoru Rowaiaru?) is a 2000 Japanese action thriller film adapted from the 1999 novel of the same name by Koushun Takami. It is the final film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, the screenplay written by his son Kenta, and stars Takeshi Kitano. The film tells the story of Shuya Nanahara, a junior high-school student who is struggling with the suicide of his father and who is forced by the government to compete in a deadly game where the students in his class must fight to the death, with only the sole survivor being allowed to live. Check out the article on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Royale_(film). Watch S6E2: "Humanity" on CBS's website or check the alternative streamability of this episode here.

In 1999 Japanese author Koushun Takami gained global notice for his novel Battle Royale. In this ultraviolent, 600-plus page dystopian novel the Japanese government holds an annual competition where Junior High students must kill each other. The last student to survive is the "winner." The book has been released multiple times in English, been the inspiration for the Battle Royale film series, and had a manga adaptation. And Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins has been accused of plagiarizing Battle Royale for her hit trilogy. Is the novel worth the fuss? Join Stuart in L.A. now for this review of the English translation of Battle Royale.
