I just watched Battle Royale again. Great movie.
It's bloody and gory. It's just a crazy story. Wouldn't it be something if someone created a reality TV version of the movie? We'd watch f*cked up middle school/ high school kids kill each other off on a remote, isolated island. All the intricacies and dynamics of school would come out. One clique vs another. Friends turn to enemies. People you never really knew become your hope for survival. People you never talked to open up to you, or people you always talked to you wish they would go away. I bet the TV ratings would skyrocket! The entire nation would stop to watch this show.
Actually, to be really honest, I think these reality TV shows are just crap. I choose not to watch any. Producers these days can't come up with creative, good enough stories so they resort to these so called reality situations and shoot them into TV episodes. Some of the real people are actually actors. How real is that? It seems that tube-technology has reached a saturation point. In the old days when the TV first came about, it was a new and faster way to get information across. Video and sound together. Prior to that, one had either sound via radio, or visual imagery from newspapers. TVs merged the two! Information transfer was live!
We are in need of a new revolution. This will utilize the internet and all of modern technology. We need to bring creation of entertainment into the home. We don't want producers in some studio thinking of how to entertain our evenings for us, we want to make our own 8 pm show! Broadcast it live for the world to see if necessary! The tools needed are almost there. Videocam, editing, blogs/ personal homepages...lots of people have access to these, but lots don't. It still takes a bit of $$. We need to make it so people in poor countries can blog; they surely have stories to tell too. Think, a billion minds each with their own unique story, that's a billion stories! We don't have to see or hear or feel or smell or even taste them all, we look for the ones that suit. And if none, we can always create our own. The big media companies are surely going to dislike this idea, but I feel that's the way we should go, and technology should make this happen. Our minds were made so that we could each be special in some way, and everyone deserves to be given the chance to broadcast what makes them unique. No more reality TV or junk that's served to us.
