Battle Royale

Suzanne Collins has been accused of ripping off the Japanese movie Battle Royale for her hit series Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay.  I just watched it.  It could have been her inspiration, but Hunger Games is in no way a rip off of that twisted, sick creation.


That movie is the hunger games, and those who enjoy watching it it are much like the citizens of the capitol. I can see how it may have inspired a trilogy of revolution stories.

I just want to publicly rebuke those who call the two stories the same.  Rather than reading a three sentence synopsis and passing judgement, read the book, or don't and just keep your mouth shut.  Either way works for me.
