I know that "The Hunger Games" is in the student's weekly journal. Last year, I asked the pupils of Primary Four to write "A Book I'm Reading Recently". Two children wrote this book. Then I forgot it. I didn't think of the original work until I saw the movie poster recently, but before I had time to read it, the movie was already released. Joe said it was okay, I needed to be cured these days, so I went to see it.
The position of this article is therefore positioned at the fantasy fan who has not read the original work and the moderate fan of Josh Hutcherson.
First of all, I heard someone compares it to the Twilight version of Battle Royale. Uh, I haven't watched "Battle Royale", but comparing "The Hunger Games" with "Twilight" is unfair to the former. The story of "The Hunger Games" is pretty good, and "Twilight" is purely Mary Sue.
After clarifying this point, talk about the good parts of this film. First, it is not purely a film that satisfies the audience's low-level desires of nympho or torture (is there any of "Sucker Punch"), it takes its own story seriously. At the beginning, I spent quite a long time explaining the background, paving the way for feelings, and shaping the characters-not in a hurry, but not even bored. When the Hunger Games officially started, I took a look at my watch, and the whole hour had passed. Such stability indicates that the creator is both serious and confident in the story. Audiences who have never read the book also have a clear understanding of the plot and sympathize with the protagonist.
Second, I really like the overhead setting in the film. The suppressed districts are like the third world today. Of course, the sense of fantasy is still very clear (boys and girls' clothes are beautiful and simple on the day of the draw), and the capital is extremely tricky. I heard that the beauty of that part is Lady. Gaga's beautiful finger, if this is true, then it is correct; if it is not true, take it as an appropriate metaphor. No matter who this beautiful finger is, he/she did give it a go. A more ingenious combination is the realism of the game scene and the sense of the game, both of which are appropriate, and there is no sense of violation when put together.
Third, the heroine was selected correctly. The role is so heavy, Jennifer Lawrence seems to be very suitable for Katniss. There are not only the kind of strong children of the poor who have been in the house early, but also the sensitive and fragile women, plus a little impulse, everyone can't dislike her. Carried the beam.
Fourth, unlike many audiences, I like Peeta played by Josh. This character is not simple, can't see through at a glance, and has many levels. He has a moral bottom line, is compassionate, is observant of the situation, knows how to adapt to changes, and of course he has the strength to pretend. But he hides his low self-esteem and has a cowardly side. Will he survive? For viewers who have never read the original, this question is more suspenseful and interesting. (Because the girl will definitely live, otherwise this film will not be able to raise money.) Josh is the right person, too tall, rich and handsome, it is easy to make people act out, his performance shows the various aspects mentioned above (otherwise how could I I know), I have to play, but I actually did a good job. He doesn't look ugly, he looks good from many angles, and of course he is not as good as the standard, wealthy and handsome hammer brother Liam Hemsworth. But Hammer is actually playing soy sauce in this film. The appearance is basically to prepare for the second and third episodes. Am I right? (Of course it’s easy to guess, and if you guess it right, it’s okay.)
Fifth, the serious political meaning of the story is controlled to an appropriate level, which makes the story heavy without compromising the entertainment of the film (God, this What an entertaining story), very well grasped, admire it. I don't know how the next story will expand this line. The world of "The Hunger Games" is cruel, and the PG13 rating can't hide it. And what is really interesting is this political story line.
Of course, there are a few points in the film that are more bloody, but they are not serious, and forbearance will pass. One was when the little black girl died, and the other was when two people were going to be Romeo Juliet at the end, giving people a feeling that the author was exhausted.
All in all, "The Hunger Games" is worth watching, and it's pretty well made. After writing this, I went back and looked at my title. I suddenly thought that virgins in the West would fight monsters. In our story, virgins would only feed the monsters obediently. Finally, two of them were not given food. They turned out to be monsters. Ugh.
ps, I watched a trailer "The Lucky One" before the feature film today, and found that Zac Efron has become a stubble-faced chubby, shocked.
