"The Hunger Games" is a bad movie

For me and my friends, "The Hunger Games" definitely helped us complete a zero breakthrough. I have also watched a lot of bad movies or dramas, but if I watch them in a movie theater, the gain in sound and visual effects can always improve the audience's impression of bad movies. The only effect of this play is to make my friend complain for two hours after watching the movie, and even dreaming that night could not give up the self-directed and self-acted version of the game to make up for her depressed mood.

The positioning of this film is really speechless. First of all, although the setting of this film basically copied Battle Royale, from the perspective of artistic presentation, there is no scene that can be described as "violent aesthetics". Every time I see a close-up shot of the heroine shooting arrows in slow motion over and over again, I feel crazy. The training ground is still normal. In the game, does Nima really have so much time for you to aim slowly? Every time when the other players are about to kill the heroine, they are full of nonsense. Does Nima still give the heroine an ideological education class on Mao's theory? The organizers of the game will definitely set traps shamelessly and increase the difficulty, but is Director Nima a fool for the audience? The gods and horses organs will "pop science" with us first, and then show them. Please director. Don’t you understand what a horse is called an unexpected panic? "1000 ways to die" is more terrifying than this one. In "Battle Royale", the various death methods of shooting cold arrows, accidents or suicides make the film rhythm very tight. Damn, I spend 2 hours and 20 minutes watching intense action movies, not cheating literary combat movies.

From the perspective of plot and drama conflict, the setting of game significantly reduces the moral conflict contained in the film. Most of the contestants don't know each other, at most there are emotional factors like hometown, so it is estimated that it is easy to cross the psychological boundary when killing. This setting increases the difficulty of portraying the contradictory side of human nature. The protagonist knows very little about other competitors, indirectly causing the audience to fail to see the story behind everyone else, and most of the supporting roles are simply reduced to symbols abstracted by a regional number. Some supporting actors, such as the male representatives from the professional fighting school in District 2, finally questioned the sacrificial activities that they had always believed in (?) before they died, but the transition process in the middle was completely unexplained and very abrupt. The bleak effect of this description of human nature is definitely a problem for the director and screenwriter. One person in the front commented that none of the details worth describing have appeared. I feel the same. For example, the pride, arrogance, and trampling on other people’s lives that the Killing Four (a small team composed of Districts 1 and 2) started did not give a more detailed depiction of the demeanor (probably the director only knows to show the audience fighting scenes) , Damn, Brawl is also more interesting, please). The change in their mentality must have occurred when the first teammate began to sacrifice (the Killer Bee Incident). Director Nima was only busy showing the dizzy scenes of the heroine. In contrast, how many supporting roles have been in "Battle Royale". Although my favorite Hanako Sang is the most ruthless woman in it, a few people are not moved by seeing her story.

Aside from supporting roles, the background of the two pig's feet is relatively clear (well, if the explanation is not clear in 2 hours, you should go to the director) The heroine is inherently righteous, good to her family, and superb hunting skills. It is a movie. The only vivid image in the game. The male protagonist’s personality is relatively complicated, but does the director want to show the audience a cowardly or insidious male protagonist? Or is it just this kind of unpredictable feeling? If he and the heroine didn't have a dog-blood relationship, ok, I can also say that this is a character with more personality in this play. But Director Nima wants to take in the pure love of Twilight~ After Dew's death, the heroine's heart is fragile, which I can understand. Nima's amendment to a rule made her fall in love instantly and was healed? Although the male protagonist reminded her to run away in the early stage, but the male protagonist also had a plot of suspected betrayal at the beginning, and the Nyima female protagonist's defense is so low. When the interview show was confessed, the hostess was still in a state of being a queen. Entering the moment of death and death, it is so unstable. Is there really love between two people? No matter how they feel that it's just acting on the spot. So this is not a romantic movie. . .

This film has another label, it is a science fiction film. Unfortunately, I just watched Men in Black 3 last week, a drama that was judged to be conservative. Men in Black 3's crossing plot, various aliens, various high-tech weapons and vehicles are not new, but at least there are various classic elements of science fiction movies, and it is still a sincere fast food. The place where science fiction can be shown in this play, is it the fighting arena where geographical factors and climate can be changed at will? And the flame of the protagonist burning his upper body at every turn? ? But this flame is not as magical as Harry Potter Reid, and the beasts are not as cute as men and wolves in twilight. The changing design of climate and forest is not as ingenious and plot effect as in "Trumen's World". To put it hard, this film does not have the "Painted Skin 2" clips that give me the sincerity.

In the end, I reluctantly saw this film as a reality show that paralleled time and space, and Quandang peeked at what kind of entertainment the people in that time and space in the novel are watching. Alas, the director, are you really born in European and American culture? How come the various show links in the film are not drama at all (sorry, I have watched a lot of reality shows such as ANTM and Apprentice). Oh, no, there is a drama about stealing a knife, but it is really a drama that has nothing to do with the theme of the movie. The interview was not funny at all. Every time the hostess was speechless or answered the wrong question, the audience laughed, and then the hostess was slightly speechless. I sat in the theater and watched Nima for fifty minutes. I haven't started the fight yet, and I was speechless.

This film is definitely a rare rotten film. In the two thematic areas of human nature and love, the author spent 2 hours, but he did not convey any meaningful concepts or thoughts. At this moment, I suddenly understood the difference between the running account composition and the narrative written by the elementary school Chinese teacher.

The Hunger Games quotes

  • President Snow: [voice over] War, terrible war. Widows, orphans, a motherless child. This was the uprising that rocked our land. Thirteen districts rebelled against the country that fed them, loved them, protected them. Brother turned on brother until nothing remained. And then came the peace, hard fought, sorely won. A people rose up from the ashes and a new era was born. But freedom has a cost. When the traitors were defeated, we swore as a nation we would never know this treason again. And so it was decreed that, each year, the various districts of Panem would offer up, in tribute, one young man and woman to fight to the death in a pageant of honor, courage and sacrifice. The lone victor, bathed in riches, would serve as a reminder of our generosity and our forgiveness. This is how we remember our past. This is how we safeguard our future.

  • Katniss Everdeen: What was it?

    Peeta Mellark: A sword. It's bad, huh?

    Katniss Everdeen: It's gonna be fine.

    [Katniss tries to tend to his wound]

    Peeta Mellark: Katniss.

    [Katniss doesn't reply and just tends to his wound]

    Peeta Mellark: Katniss...

    Katniss Everdeen: No! I'm not gonna leave you. I'm not gonna do that.

    Peeta Mellark: Why not?
