Freedom, a dream

This article was written before the movie viewing on November 20th. In fact, it is more like a summary of the novel.

Inadvertently I thought that a few years ago, before the first Hunger Games was released, one of the film's advertising slogans was "American version of Battle Royale." In this regard, I just want to shout with a loudspeaker: Nope! certainly not! certainly not! Nothing else, just talk about the ending, is the end of Battle Royale very bright? Nothing (the real ending is in the second part that was complained by most fans! In fact, I personally like the second part better than the first!)! The Hunger Games series, after all, is a YA (Youth Adventure), the author is impossible, and will not write a desperate ending.

However, most people get a happy ending. This "majority" does not include the protagonists involved in this "game".

As the title of the Taiwanese version points out: Free Fantasy Dreams.

The heroine played by the big cousin is undoubtedly tragic. She has never wanted to be a leader or a sign. Her heart has always been ordinary. She hopes that her sister will escape the Hunger Games and grow up safely, and that the whole family will not go hungry, that's it. Complaining about the injustice of the world? This can be, and it is limited to whispering in the dense forest with childhood sweethearts. But a draw by Effie that year was like the flapping butterfly in the butterfly effect, breaking everything (it suddenly occurred to me that writing a short article from Effie’s perspective should also be very interesting, the title is called "I stir "The Whole World Pattern" and so on).

Since then, Katniss’s life, the lives of all participants in the “game”, no longer belongs to her.

It is true that in such a dystopian world, it will be sooner or later that it will be overthrown. It is not Katniss, but someone else will become a symbolic leader. However, when the dust finally settled, the protagonists such as Katniss who continued to live could no longer become ordinary people. They can't celebrate like ordinary people, and then start a new life. They can only accompany the ghosts of the past, silently but bravely for the rest of their lives.

Until the dust returns to the dust, the game continues-it is a game called "Aftermath".

Freedom is always a dream for the survivors who have been trapped in the Hunger Games.

Fortunately they have offspring, fortunately they have each other. Freedom is too extravagant for them, but it is real for future generations. Children playing in the old graveyard will one day learn everything from their parents’ thick hand-made memoirs, which will help them be brave, no matter how bad “games” are waiting for them in the future , They will all understand, with the freedom that their parents hoped for, coupled with a little bit of their own courage, they will eventually become the winners of any game.

Happy Hunger Game.
May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor.

This sentence represents the haze hovering over the parents of the children. I hope that one day, the children can bless each other with the last sentence and forget the first sentence forever.

That is the vision that parents sacrificed their life's freedom in exchange for.
