Okay, I just watched Battle Royale for the first time. I just don't understand WHY those kids had to kill each other. Can someone please explain it to me? 

For example, in The Hunger Games the point was obvious. The districts had rebelled, and the games was a big kick in the teeth. It was also to keep them in line, etc. Maybe it's just because I haven't read the book.. but I don't understand the motive for using military resources to kill off students. (This is irrelevant, but I was thinking "At least in The Hunger Games, the victors get a butt load of money and such") 

:3 Thank you

I believe the premise behind Battle Royale was that the teenagers of the nation had gone wild, stealing, fighting and other misbehaving so the government decided to teach them a lesson they would send one classroom of kids to fight to the death, similar to the Hunger Games in that they hoped to keep the kids under control by doing this.
