Ha I knew that Terminator thing was gonna go full circle. Though the shotgun vs Machine gun thing actually started in the first movie. Reese was the heroe with the shot gun whilst Arnold was teh one using the Uzi 9MM.

I have heard good things about Battle Royale in the most stealth ways imaginable. When Nostalgia Critic was reviewing Bridge To Terabithia, he was making a double joke. The obvious being because Jeff's actor was in Hunger Games after that and that HG apparently ripped off BR. Whilst at the same time Terabithia was taken from a location in the Narnia universe by the author of the book. That's where I first heard it from. However when I was playing that visual novel I told you about, BR was most prominent. There was a subplot in the visual Novel involving a once broken up yuri couple, one half of that couple named Kendall who was basically human personification of the internet (By that I mean she speaks in nothing but chat speak, her personality is no different than that of an internet troll, but not as bad as the real troll and has used her trolling against most evil things.)  Anywho the teacher didn't expect her to give a valid statement regarding Battle Royale because he didn't expect her to read the book. Then she says this "The whole point of the scene is that the grotesque imagery ain't there. It's unemphasized because it doesn't exist, and that's totes shocking.

Like, realistically, the scene should be this bloody horror. If you think about it, it doesn't make any sense to have so many shooting deaths without any gore.

"But instead all that the protagonist notices is the death, not the crazy visceral stuff. The most important gore is the protagonist bleeding, but he's 'alive'

It's not the death that's grotesque. The death is just there. It's his blood that indicates he's alive that's grotesque, as he strains himself.

Too long, didn't read: it uses grotesque "life" imagery, not death. You're asking the wrong questions."

To make a long story short, she read enough to understand it, but did so in a way to make her sound like a smart ass and see if the teacher would scold her or pass her. Pretty much putting him in a no win situation.

It's a good Visual Novel, free too. It's part of a series each one with it's own themes all here. The only one not free is the 3rd one.
