If the first part of The Hunger Games is a compromise because, unlike avid reader and get upset if box office success (not alluding here "Harry Potter "Series), the second one is entirely from the perspective of the movie itself. The box office success of The Hunger Games 1 was somewhat of a bit of luck (suffering from a comedy crash, a war superhero movie, etc.). The Hunger Games 2 basically abandoned the various ills in the first part. From the tension of the plot, The tightness of the rhythm and the design of the context have been improved.
Because the words in the first paragraph are too official, readers can actually ignore it at all. Let's talk about the key points.
<1> Let's talk about Chongao first.
I told people that this film is going to be Chongao, she doesn't believe me. Can you put it aside first? Anyway, it's doing things according to the rules of Chong'ao. The Hunger Games last year with a very low profile to gain a good reputation (though I think the shooting is average) and unexpectedly good box office. But there is no nomination, which is slightly embarrassing. Looking at this year, this is a shame. Although it is difficult to win prizes, getting a few questions can be considered a decent way to live.
Hunger Games 2 actually took 40 minutes to describe the gray dominance, the political war, and the class conflict. After that, it took another 40 minutes to render the foreshadowing before the game. The last hour did not really talk about the process of The Hunger Games. The first 40 minutes are all political descriptions. Although it cannot be said that the climax is repeated, it is not at all boring. The apparent relaxation has a degree, and it is easy to do.
This film is a bit imitated in the ideological sense of "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Asylum". However, to say it imitates does not mean that it is bad. A good front seat is a role model, and it's normal to imitate it. All games are upper-class games, all rules are upper-class rules, and all democracy is upper-class democracy. Those who dare to challenge the rules will be severely punished by the rules. Even if you make good use of the rules by chance, some people will make you "unfortunately" die by the new rules. The ruler calls this phenomenon-"the rules are adjusted." .
Of course, this movie will definitely not end in tragedy like "Mad Asylum", after all, this is a movie similar to a superhero. After all, it is a commercial film. How can the director bear the heartache of the lovely audience? Even if the director bears the heart, the producer will not bear the heart to watch the box office flew away. Chong Ao is a trivial matter after all, the annual box office is the key to the survival of commercial films.
<2> The style and context of the film (because it is not spoiled, it is simply involved)
. It is not a hobby of An Zhiting to talk about the main ideas of the film in a macroscopic way, so this part is just a taste. Some people can talk a lot about the film's thought, theme, and spirit without mentioning a detail or plot. You asked him where he could see it from? He said: "It's all over the story! You didn't even see it!" The great gods who never involved detailed analysis of the film, talked about the human nature, the theme, and the spirit of macroism in the film. Please raise your hand.
The style of the film basically maintained the fluency of the first one, but in the "game" link, it did not last as long as the previous one (because time gave political rendering). However, the film is artificially divided into three parts-class conflict (popular dissatisfaction and violent suppression) (40 minutes), game preparation (rule changes and reloading) (40 minutes), and the whole process of the game (70 minutes).
But even the previous renderings and preparations have basically achieved the various small climaxes required by commercial films-uprising, suppression, impulse, redemption, escape, etc., in a long period of time, it makes people feel very uncomfortable. Long, and a little bit of excitement.
It can be regarded as an excellent commercial film.
Disadvantages: In the film, the previous champions in various regions are explained, each with its own advantages and different styles. It's like a pk of heroes. However, in the course of the game, only two intelligent players were better described, and the characteristics of the other opponents were not fully utilized. The brave warrior, the agile sister, and especially the obvious fangs girl (the picture is not available for the time being, forgive me), did not bite the individual, it is really incomprehensible.
<3> Character Setting
Let’s talk about the changes in character setting from various details.
In the first part of The Hunger Games, perhaps because it was the first part of the relationship, there were too many things to unfold, resulting in the heroine's spiritual setting only limited to humanistic care-for example, instead of a young sister , Give up your love, for the people of District 12, etc. details. But the second part has an obvious improvement in the character setting: the humanistic care is fully specified, and the heroine's care is narrowed and limited. What the hostess thinks in her heart is only her family, her lover, her neighbors, and the people in the 12th district at most. Therefore, she proposed to run away and propose to escape, which is why in the end of the film, everyone finally decided to revolt. It was a good ending, but the heroine was not very concerned about her partner and her best friend.
So some people say, it’s just nonsense, how can a movie deliberately make its heroine so flawed, so limited, so narrow, you must have over-interpreted it. I can only say that if you don’t understand, it doesn’t mean that everyone has no idea. Understand; what you don't see is not all over-interpretation.
I want to say that only this setting is the most reasonable. Only in this way, a talented and clever mocking bird can only become a phoenix after experiencing Nirvana-like burning.
If you say this is a subjective assumption, then I think you must have not watched the end of this Hunger Games. The movie came to an abrupt end amid the anger of the nervous heroine, and the screen was completely black. At this time, there was a difference in the handling of the second part and the first part on the screen-at the end of the second part, the mockingbird logo reappeared. And the original golden logo suddenly burned, shone, and shone, and finally rose from the flames, turning into a phoenix logo. I think that the person who said I guess either didn't see the end, or couldn't distinguish between the mocking bird with the arrow and the wings closed and the phoenix with the head up and wings spread.
(The picture shows the comparison of the first and second posters)
I can only say that the second part is the hell of the heroine, and the third part is the purgatory and nirvana of the heroine. Otherwise, the mocking bird will always be a mocking bird. If it is not baptized by the burning of flames, the mocking bird will never become a phoenix. However, An Zhiting is guessing here, no matter what the plot of the original novel is, Pita (the male protagonist) and the female protagonist’s boyfriend are likely to die. Remember Spider-Man? Remember Batman? A person who has the ability to save the world will only understand the truth of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" after experiencing spiritual Nirvana. This is the main theme of Hollywood's favorite thought.
The third part is set to revolve around the rebellion of the whole people and the rescue of Joanna and Pita, which shows that the main woman makes a life choice. The most capable person is always immature in temperament. This is also a favorite melody of Hollywood.
Here, I would like to make a bet with everyone. I guess the logo of the third part must be a flame bird with symmetrical wings spread out and its head raised, not a flying wing-like bird with its head down, let alone an arrow with its head buried in it.
<4> Detailed inventory (spoiler alert)
1. In the election with only one candidate, the
luxurious woman smiled bitterly, put her hand into the glass cover (the one with the female tribute), took out a sheet of paper, and read it out The name of the heroine. The glass cover at the moment looked so big, and the piece of paper inside seemed so lonely. Obviously there is only one candidate, and there is a forced motion, and the ballots are announced. If I say this detail to criticize the American electoral system for always being a game of the rich, it is always shady, I don’t know how many people say that I am over-interpreting it, and how many people say that I play such a game only in the celestial dynasty. All I can say is that although the United States has achieved universal selection, there are still people who are still shouting "we are the 90 percent", expressing dissatisfaction with the election. Of course, as a citizen of the celestial dynasty, I won't talk about the internal affairs of other people's countries; I have seen a vote once when I grew up, after all, I have no face to talk about people.
2. People are like chess pieces, politics are like chess, and chess is a game.
The chief designer said that only by comparing the propaganda of the hostess’s wedding with the violent suppression, the spiritual hope of the people can be destroyed.
When the ruler plays the game, he has reached the state where he does not take any shots himself, but hires professional traders. When Mr. President discussed with the chief designer on how to execute the heroine, how to kill hope, and how to destroy democracy, he proceeded completely in accordance with the rules of the game. Real play and fake, and how to spiritually destroy the heroes in the hearts of the people.
3. White wedding dresses, burning flames, mocking birds spreading their wings.
When the white wedding dress burned, the suppressed kindness expanded. At the moment when the mockingbird spread its wings, I knew that the designer was about to die. This is a naked challenge, a manifesto of purpose, and a shouting resistance.
4. The real act and the fake
heroine, the male lead obviously does not love each other, but they perform incisively and vividly in front of the media-gag, joke, and kiss affectionately. If I say that this is all about making fun of the daily lives of Hollywood stars (there is no allusion to Orlando Bloom, no allusion to Pete, no allusion...), I believe there should be no objection to it.
5. The grown-up sister. The
grown-up sister must have a unique day. This is the best hidden thread in this film.
He took the syringe from the trembling mother and plunged it into this man calmly. This was not the first thing that the crying girl who needed her sister to replace. The grown-up sister will one day pick up her own weapon like her sister, and kill the enemy wiser than a man.
6. The mainstream
media will always be official.
Hosts who babble or gag will always serve the upper class, just like in reality, talk shows are always running dogs of the US government. Humph, the media in the United States is too dim, it's not like my celestial dynasty at all.
<5> Highlights of the film: Those who like Joanna, please raise your hands. (Spoiler read carefully)
When Joanna asked Pita to help him unzip her tights, I thought this woman was really cute. When the representatives of each district exchanged greetings with the host and shed tears to bid farewell to the audience for sympathy and affection, the woman took a microphone and said a series of sentences starting with F to the audience, and was blocked by the sound of "D!". To be honest, I really want to go up and kiss her at this time-she is so innocent and sensual at this time. When everyone heard the birds calling out their relatives for help, and everyone was so overwhelmed by the nightmare sound of auditory hallucinations, Joanna yelled at the dome and pointed at the president. When even the heroine's temperament was unbelievable, Joanna said frankly: "They have nothing to threaten me—the one I love is dead."
It turns out that suffering is happiness, because you love. People are still alive at least. When everyone is worried and heartbroken for their loved ones, the poorest person is fighting for them. This reminds me of the last double-faced man in "Batman·The Dark Knight" saying: "Why did you make a mistake, and I was the one who lost everything?!" At this time, the camera was aimed at Batman, and I suddenly understood that double The face man has at least Rachel's love, at least the image of a bright knight and the love of the people of the city. And Batman, let alone the people’s understanding, even his beloved Rachel wrote to him and told him that she had chosen someone else. (Although he doesn’t know, this doesn’t mean that he is the poorest person objectively.)
Also, when everyone was discussing the uprising in the film, I found that there was no Joanna in the room. I was shocked. At this time, I heard about Joanna. After being taken home, I felt relieved. If he let such a cute character die, I would be angry.
<6> Digressions When the film explained the characteristics of the champions of each district one by one, I suddenly thought that this can be a great pk. If the Justice League or the Women's Federation and all the negative characters among them participated in the Hunger Games, it would be wonderful. And I guess, the people who are willing to ally with the Joker must be the most, and my beloved Batman, who is easily influenced by the inner rules, must suffer a lot.
