People who live in Capitol either don’t have to work or do mental work, which means the upper-middle class in society. The people in the other 12 regions mean the lower-middle class in society, as can be seen from their ethnic names: the core miner refers to the working class of mining.
So the 1:12 setting tells us that a small number of upper classes dominate most of the middle and lower classes in society.
The strange costumes of the capitol people have also been complained. . . If you look closely, you can see that the clothing and makeup of the Capitol people must have bling bling (except for the President), which is an element of vanity and luxury. These bizarre costumes and exaggerated makeup actually reflect the value orientation of the capitol people: vanity, luxury, hypocrisy, and show (personal feeling is very similar to the fashion industry ==).
I just saw someone in the picture comment that the gamemaker is wearing the Alexander McQueen 2011 Fall Winter Jacket. It seems that I guessed the above words correctly. It's ironic.
The overall setting of Hunger games is very much in line with social reality: it needs ratings, it needs sponsors, it needs gimmicks - do you think of many reality shows?
But the most in line with social reality is not so superficial: the show is like a real society, it seems that there are strong rules, but for the best benefit, the rules can be broken at any time. In the end, the heroine can successfully threaten the producer to understand and master this deeply. There is no rule that the core cannot be overturned: on the surface it is a contest between knowledge and body, but in fact it is a contest between the ability to attract sponsorship - money is very important.
Hunger games are to give lower-level people a chance to climb up, and in this process, individuals must defeat and sacrifice others. Why should we give this opportunity? Look at the words of the President: Hope is the only thing stronger than fear. Forced suppression cannot be sustained. Just look at how Zhu Yuanzhang, a peasant, destroyed the Yuan Empire.
The people who watched the capitol were fascinated by the show, implying the idea of entertainment to death. Entertainment is everything. The
heroine is not so noble. To put it simply, she has wisdom and courage and deeply understands that "he who obeys me prospers and he who opposes me perishes." She and Peeta are totally on show, everything is to win. So I don’t understand why someone complains about the love part: it’s not a love story at all, students, it’s a show, students!
Summary: The film is very good, most of which are due to the original work. It can be a film targeting a group of teenagers, but if you watch the film subjectively with this point of view, you will definitely ignore a lot of metaphors and lose a lot of fun: the part of the game is not comparable to Battle Royale at all, and the editing and rhythm are controlled in general (I still think No one can defeat Akira Kurosawa).
Hope to bring you a new perspective. Because the author and director are obviously using illusion to insinuate reality.
