On the logical mess of the "Hunger Games"

After watching it for many days, the reason why I still want to dig out this film is because someone does not approve of my point of view and thinks it is a far-reaching film. This offended my fragile nerves and made me furious. So although the memory of this film is a little fuzzy, I still want to talk about my worst year of the year through some image garbage remaining in my mind.

1. Why do you want to hold this absurd game?

Although the film is eloquent, some reasons can be vaguely found through the background setting and plot explanation. OK, let’s see if the basis of these "Hunger Games" is established:

1. For the permanent peace of the world, the people will no longer suffer. War and slaughter. ——This is the official rhetoric of the ruler in the film. It is a kind of foolish talk. The logic is confused, black and white are reversed, and the deer is the horse. This is obviously not the real purpose of hosting the game.

2. Strengthen centralized rule, intimidate and deter P people, and kill their rebellious genes in the bud. ——This seems to be the purpose of novels and movies, but it obviously doesn't make sense. Because we can learn from the movie that riots against and against the "Hunger Games" occur from time to time, and riots also occurred in the black area this time. Even the administrator of a prison does not want his prisoners to riot frequently. Such riots often happen, so how about a stable rule?

3. To entertain the people of the capital area, just like "The World of Truman", because there are audiences, there are evil shows. ——The people in the capital are indeed enthusiastic about games, so it seems to make sense to regard this as the purpose of hosting the game. But the problem is that the behavior of the people in the capital is puzzling. They not only like killing games, but they also like to pursue people who are about to die. They looked after the contestants from each region as celebrities, with high enthusiasm, and then saw them being killed in front of the TV, still with high enthusiasm. Is it reasonable? It's like you are extremely admiring Andy Lau, treating him as an idol, and then seeing Andy Lau jumping to his death, still cheering, is this psychological logic reasonable?

It can be seen from the above that there are logical loopholes in the plot structure of the film. Some people would say, oops, "Journey to the West" is too bad, but the fantasy of Journey to the West is pure and boundless. Monkey King can be set as a supernatural and invulnerable character. "The Hunger Games" simply sets the heroine as It's good to be invulnerable, but is it okay?

2. What are the personalities of the characters?

1. What is the character of the heroine? Brave? Wise? humor? Perseverance? loyalty? Rebellious spirit?

2. What is the character of the actor? Dumb? good? witty? madness?

3. Others? Does anyone else have a personality?

The whole movie does not seem to have a distinctive character. Although the movie is long enough, all the characters are like soy saucers.

3. Contradictions, too many places that cannot stand scrutiny.

1. Since the heroine has the spirit of resistance, why should she participate in the game? Why show a high degree of cooperation in the propaganda stage. At the end of the game, showing a high degree of resistance?

2. Hunt in groups? For a game where only one of 24 can live, it would be nice to be able to form a group with two people, but can also gather a crowd to form a group? Maybe he was killed by his teammate when he fell asleep.

3. The heroine's mentor is very good and has taught the heroine a lot of skills. But everyone's mentor is a game survivor, and they are very good. How can they be hacked to death as soon as they go up and grab something?

4. The male protagonist is very powerful, but why didn't he see that he was very powerful in the game, and how is the camouflage makeup on his face painted in the game? The painting is really good.

5. How deep is the relationship between the hero and heroine? If you act on the scene and show it to the audience, why do you have to kiss and fight with death together? If it is deep, why suddenly the feelings become deep. Since the relationship is very deep, why does the actor leave after saving the heroine...

6. Doesn’t it mean that 20% of people will die of dehydration every time? Didn't any of this happen this time? Of course, maybe it happened, but the director didn't explain it. Because after the start of The Hunger Games, the audience can't figure it out except for the hero and the heroine and the little black girl.

7. The hero and the heroine want to commit suicide by taking poison fruit together. Why are the game controls so nervous? Since you are dead and you are very nervous, why release so many monsters at once? Are you not afraid that the monsters will completely clear the scene? Judging from the plot, this situation is entirely possible.

8. When the heroine was besieged in a tree, all the people below fell asleep at night, not even a watchman. Do you have no common sense of survival in the wild? Planting mines around the food can be thought of, why didn't I think of finding someone to stand guard?

Hey, let's just do it, writing so much text for a bad film is really worthless~~~

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?
