La Decima Vittima

La Decima Vittima (1965) is an Italian movie about a "Big Hunt". The Big Hunt is a violent game where people are pitted to hunt and kill each other. If a player survives 10 rounds they receive 1 million dollars and gain the status of being a national hero. The premise of La Decima Vittima inspired modern movies such as Battle Royale and the Hunger Games (based off the books).  La decima vittima translates to "The 10th Victim".

Compared to The Hunger Games, Le Decima Vittima strives for comedy rather than epic serious scenes and cool decapitations. This particular scene reminds me of one of the Austin Powers movies scene.
I really liked the movie because it had some really clever and funny moments in it. Other than that the movie tries to convey a message that through games we can transfer our violence from reality to games rather than in reality...which is probably for the good. But then again in the movie real people are actually killing each other in a tv show rather than in a virtual world so I guess what I wrote is rather moot =/....but again it is a non-serious movie...
