Among the four episodes of The Hunger Games, the second episode is the most dramatic and the best, the third episode is empty and procrastinated and almost ignores the main theme, and the fourth episode is very qualified to express the original message faithfully and clearly-observable conflict. It is by no means the best but the most indispensable finale in this series. Although the corners and corners are interspersed with plots of love triangles that are not in the original book, in the context of the grand revolution, these unstructured Xiaoen Xiaoai seem out of place and even out of place.
The fascinating thing about Katniss lies in her angularity and rebellion. She has not followed any rules from beginning to end, and even defied the rules: she stood up to replace the sister who was chosen as the sacrifice, and she asked Peeta to swallow the poisonous fruit to force the organizers to modify it. According to the rules, she destroyed the entire setting of The Hunger Games with a single arrow to the dome. She turned a deaf ear to the persuasion of the 13th district president. She had no cooperation with the script written in advance... She was too independent and too true to her own ideas. Shaken by vain fame and fortune, not using the lives of any faction as a bargaining chip, not being deceived by grand excuses — she is the nightmare of any ruler who wants to manipulate the people — however, such a Katniss should be in everyone’s Planted in my heart.
At the end of 2010, a series of dictatorships in North Africa and the Middle East were overthrown, and protesters flooded the streets. This kind of vigorous faith in longing for democracy and freedom made the revolution unsettled one after another. Maybe some people sacrifice themselves to defend their compatriots, and maybe some people fight and shed blood to support the leadership they believe in. However, the situation in all the countries involved in this movement has deteriorated further: Ben Ali's exile in Tunisia's interim government has overlapping powers, political turmoil, Mubazak's resignation and the new government was overthrown by the military coup, and Gaddafi's escape was assassinated by religious and Western forces. Internally, the Syrian Assad regime is not recognized by the Western world, and ISIS, which is indirectly and unwillingly supported by the West, has risen from it... Those people who voluntarily take to the streets are only thinking that "overthrow this tyrant, we can live a better life." The simple idea of "life" and the naive vision of "if we have democracy, we can be free". Unfortunately, the innocence and innocence of millions and tens of millions is only reduced to a tool that the next power contender can use, and these careerists will eventually fall into the back of the eye and use money and weapons to transport them to the superpower. The puppet of the alliance.
Katniss doesn't want to become someone's tool, Snow's is not good, Alma Coin's is not good, no one is good. This is the essence of her and Gale going further and further. Gale is a standard chess piece that is willing to sacrifice for the revolution, and his hands are stained with blood for the revolution. He didn't understand Katniss' persistence, he said "This is war, Katniss". If massacre can reduce the enemy's counterattack, why not? If killing the children in the capital for a show can arouse public anger and let us win the final victory, why not? "This is war, Katniss." Yes, if in the real world, idealists like Katniss and leaders with benevolence would not win or even survive in the end. The winner is so contemptuous, unfortunately, history has proved so time and time again, and the innocent people have fallen into the trap willingly time and time again.
So let's plant Katniss in our hearts-this is the greatest thing about the Hunger Games series. A novel under the banner of a teenager's book, but with the deep meaning of wanting to make passionate teenagers calm and think twice, I am grateful for this. When you are young you take to the streets to dedicate yourself to your "ideal", please think twice; when you are young you put on a bomb vest to avenge Allah, please think twice; when you are young you stabbed a kitchen knife at the different races next to you Neighbors, please think twice! There is too much unnecessary violence in this world, and there is no shortage of conspirators who use violence and chaos to achieve political goals or centralize power to compromise. And you have to believe that no freedom is absolute freedom, no democracy is uncontrolled democracy, and no violence is violence that does not constitute a vicious circle. Any killing under the banner of "democracy, freedom, and faith" should be questioned.
The ending of The Hunger Games is vague, gentle, idealistic, and suitable for Katniss. In reality, Katniss, the people’s fighter, shot to death the murderer of the new president, even if she finally escaped, she may not be able to escape political mercy (and she is not suitable to be a leader of a stable new government) , Even if she can escape the mercy of opening up the political situation, she may not be helpless to escape from her hometown wishes, and Xanadu is even more deceptive. I understand the author very well, and I can't write it down here.
And I am a pessimist after all. History is always surprisingly similar, or people living in the moment of history are always surprisingly forgetful, or ignorant and emotional. I hope Katniss can plant a spark in the hearts of countless young people, and use the most simple storyline to inspire attention and thinking about the current political situation. The downfall of an autocratic tyrant is by no means the end of the old life in conjecture, and the rise of a "democratic government" can never guarantee the beginning of a better life. These, hope you will gradually understand from the Hunger Games.
