"The Hunger Games" itself is full of politics. From the previous episode, we can see that the disparity between the rich and the poor and the stratification of classes are also very distinct. What we can see in this episode is that a totalitarian government will eventually face the challenges from the people. , Don’t treat the people as obedient people. The proposition discussed is "resistance." The protagonist KATNISS has become a rebel in the eyes of the government and will do everything possible to eliminate her. And she didn't want to be a hero, but the government made small moves behind her back to force her to accept it. "The Hunger Games" is to a certain extent a "1984" world, with only a kind of sound. The government does not allow the people to have "hope," and some are using authoritarian power to oppress the people. The appearance of Katniss brought them hope, hope of survival. In "Sparking Fire", the protagonist is also very entangled in the truth, and is in a dilemma, whether in love or in doubt about the game. In this episode, there is no clear answer, but it is certain that the revolution is underway. If you want to know what happened, please see the next episode.
The first half of the film confessed the political struggle. Katniss became a symbol of counter-revolutionaries, but behind her, she was burdened with family, hatred for the government, and deeply introspected on the killing game. It was just enough to break down. But she had to obey and compromise, and a good life was hard to come by, let alone a good life in the future. And her own love life is not good enough, dealing with the two men, acting as a lover on the screen, and becoming a public illusion. The real boyfriend is kept in the closet and lives in lies. In order to survive, he can't even choose his feelings.
The second half of the movie is focused on the game, returning to the battlefield, and all kinds of intersections, but this time it is facing a higher-level opponent. In the production of American reality shows, there is an "all-star" concept, which mainly invites players who have participated in the competition to participate in one more time. The "October" quarterly Hunger Games in the movie is based on this. The more you fight, the stronger you will see who can stay till the end. For some contestants, the Hunger Games is annoying. It destroys the original life and also destroys the relationship between people. Knowing nothing, but in order to save one's life, there is only killing. In The Hunger Games, there is not only killing, but also humanity. As in the previous episode, I wrote about the sincere friendship with the players in the eleventh district, and in this episode, I wrote about the unity and determination of the players. However, the space is not in-depth enough, just a very rough explanation, and pave the way for the next episode.
There is no lack of media control in "The Hunger Games". The challenge to the scale of reality show games is also the effect of media hype. For example, the heroine and the partner in the game create a couple and steal a lot of attention. In the play, the relationship between the two of them was deliberately hyped, with the purpose of creating a topic. Create heroes in disasters, Gone with the Wind, and the like. The real reality show is also deliberately edited into discord and scheming between the teams and the players in order to attract viewers. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a criticism in the works because the hype can help make people feel bad and feel good about themselves, or because the writer of the novel has worked in a TV station. The media’s point of view is to try every possible means to attract the audience and deliver to the sponsors. The media is an indispensable theme in "The Hunger Games", and it also talks about media control.
"Sparkling Fire" is indeed a link between the past and the next. As a transitional film, the real mystery will not be revealed until the next episode. I became nervous step by step, and I also saw progress, whether it was the change of director and screenwriter, or the actor, I also saw improvement. The shooting is also competent in the setting of the killing game. Maybe some positions will feel weird, but basically it can be viewed as a weird party, which is even more interesting. Next, "The Hunger Games" makes people look forward to not only the setting of the killing game, but basically you can't look at the movie with the idea of "Battle Royale", but use the growth and political situation of a girl as a consideration. KATNISS in "Sparking Fire" is close to collapse and has begun to lose trust in others. Can she stand up in the next movie? I believe it is the most anticipated link for the audience.
