For those who have seen the film 'Battle Royale'?

Question

Have I missed a scene? Apparently somewhere in the film there's a flashback to Mitsuko's childhood. I have watched the whole movie on Youtube but of course it's all scrambled up. Could anyone fill me in on what I missed/give me a link to somewhere I can watch it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The reason why you didn't see it is because you saw the original version. That flasback is in the "Special Version," or atleast that's what I remember it being called, and that version added more scenes and touched up on the violence. But to answer your question, that flashback is in that version.

rent it at Blockbuster or Netflix...

* In the film, the audience sees a flashback scene of young Mitsuko (played by Suzuka Tonegawa) going home from school and saying goodbye to her friends. She then walks into her house and finds her mother drunk and a strange man sitting in the kitchen. It seems he had paid Mitsuko's mother for sex, and she runs upstairs in disbelief. He then follows and presents Mitsuko with a doll, saying, "This little girl's name is Mitsuko too. Isn't she cute? And she’s really fun." He then pulls the doll's head off and proceeds to remove all the doll's clothing, finally saying, "Now all her clothes are off! It's the other Mitsuko's turn, let's take them all off." She, however, resists his advances and pushes him down the stairs, breaking his neck and killing him.

After these events she becomes a hollow shell of a person that does not know how to handle all the anguish and hate she feels from her past.

and as the poster said you will find it in the special edition...
