    Character Evaluation

    In the movie "The Hunger Games", director Gary Ross gave the film a long and unique style   . During the filming process, director Gary Ross painstakingly chose to dilute and obscure the bloody and violent elements. The weakening of the scene in the arena made the film lose a lot of breathtaking and exciting shots, but it made the film meaningful and extremely rich. The tension arouses the curiosity of movie fans, and gives them a little more thinking space apart from the tension of watching . 
    In the movie "The Free State of Jones", the director Gary Ross handled the ugly historical facts in a very appropriate way, but it would not make people feel that it weakened or downplayed the seriousness of historical events. Moreover, the film is scattered with many small, unmarked fragments, which can make people feel very real and directly reach people's hearts. By the end of the movie, the audience will clearly feel how masterful and ingenious Ross is in this subject matter .

      A stalk, some details, some topics, have not grasped what the core theme is, so it seems that the storyline density is low and slow.
