That sounds incredibly racist, and I'm sorry. But it was horribly frustrating to see someone get mutilated just for me to think they came back because they looked damn-near identical. Trying to keep track of the characters in this film was impossible. Why dud they cast over 20 people that looked indistinguishable from the protagonists?

Imagine the Hunger Games only every district was twins of one giant family. That's what Battle royale was like for me.

Yeah congrats on being a racist. I had no difficulty at all telling everyone apart. Being of the same nationality is hardly 'indistinguishable'. Jesus.

But the actors were all chosen to resemble each other, they were given more or less the same haircuts and they were dressed in the same uniform. This was a deliberate choice by the director. The story is supposed to recognize the fact that she school system in Japan is killing off all individuality, the film simply reinforces this impression. We are not supposed to see the class as individuals in the beginning, it is only when the individual survivors start to show their own personalities that we see difference in dress and behaviour appear. You mean that you watched this film and failed to understand this plot point?
