The hunger games(2012) copied battle Royale(2001)?




The Hunger Games movie was just, so amazing, if you haven't watched it yet, then you need to. The plot is simple a poor girl who lives on a farm, which is on district 12 volunteers for the hunger games to save her sister. She then has to get sponsors when she's there. She amazes the crowd, but at the same time gets enemies. In, the arena she fights and protects peeta and ends up winning. The whole story is based on that ever since a rebellion started in the capitol, each district is to sacrafice 1 girl and 1 boy to fight to the death in an arena. The winner gets riches unimaginable and a big house in victor village. But, This sounds a lot like battle royal.... The creator of battle royal is accussing suzanne collins for stealing his idea. Too bad he can't sue (Not) because she made her story a tweet more differently than battle royal plus, battle royal is Japanese. Battle royale is where kids a from a highschool are to enter in a program, to fight to the death and only one winner can come out, they are forced to put on a collar which detonates if they do not follow the rules and to track them ( hey the trackers sound like the hunger games). Kids fight fierce like the hunger games, Kids die like the hunger games, and the only one winner like the hunger games. Too Koushun Takami can't do anything about the similarities cause for one the hunger games has more supporters and two his story originated in japan. Battle Royale is also a good movie, but it got unpopular after awhile. But, still do you think it is right for suzzanne collins to use the same idea and make it more popular than battle royale or do you think Koushun is exaggerating and only accusing suzanne collins for money?
