I saw this movie in the Internet two weeks ago. The director adapted the novel for movies. The movie tells us a story that after a war in North America. People build a new country called Panem which include 13 districts. The political power is atrocious. The 13th district tries to against the political power. Then it was ruined by the atom-bomb. For other 12 districts they need to devote a young boy and a girl to the capital city. There will be a game waits for them and they have to kill each other. The last people who survive at last will win the game will have a good life. The purpose of this game is to suppress the 12 districts and for the people who live in the capital city Panem for entertainment. One brave girl replaces her sister join this game. At last she and her boyfriend survive miraculously and break the rule of game.This movie has many thrilling scenes and it also has an unexpected ending. The game`s theme is about surviving. I like the action when the heroine uses the bow. The movie includes too much things, such as politic, exciting game, changing rules and so on. There is a huge contrast between the Panem and 12 districts. So there must have struggle. I think the ending they break the rules it`s a hard hit for the ruler and it also encourages the people that they should have a good life like the Panem`s people.
At first when I saw the name of the movie, I think it was a game about suffering from hunger. After I saw this movie, I think the meaning is that everyone is hungry they can get something they want from this game or everyone was attracted by the movie eat nothing during 142 minutes. This movie doesn`t cost too much money, it`s different from most of the Hollywood`s movies. But I give this movie ★★★★☆
I definitely enjoyed this movie just as much as you did Qi! Have you read the book too? If I had to choose between the two I'd definitely say the book was better. I really loved the movie too though; there were just a few things they failed to include. It's been a while since I watched it the first time, so I'm going to have to give it another watch to see if any of my opinions have changed on it. I’m going to add it to the top of my Blockbuster @Home queue and get it in the mail in the next couple of days. My coworker at DISH just let me borrow the second book to read as well, and so far so good! I just hope they don’t fail to include some things in the next movie. :)
