Although the box office has become a phenomenal event, the former director Gary Rose still insisted on quitting, and the film had no choice but to find the director of "I Am Legend" Francis Lawrence to take over the directing. Judging from the final results, Francis Lawrence has withstood the pressure. While preserving the gold-absorbing elements of the previous work, he worked hard on the quality of the film, upgrading it from an ordinary fan movie to a youth epic that celebrates freedom.
For a commercial trilogy series, the second part will be a bit awkward. It neither has the novelty and shock of the opening, nor can it steal the fierce material and limelight of the ending. "Sparkling Plains" has completed its due linking function. The film is roughly divided into three parts: Katniss and Pita's new life after winning the championship, returning to the Hunger Games battlefield to participate in the "Century Ultimate Game", and looking forward to the coming Violent revolution. Before and during the contest, the two protagonists have a lot of echoes in the plot, but they have been upgraded everywhere, such as highlighting the hypocritical nature of the reality show, and showing the despicable class position through the conspiracy of the King of Benedict and the new game designer. Describe the maturity and personality of the contestants and so on. The most important thing is that this "Hunger Games" is no longer just a record of a group of young people fighting and killing, but adding humanistic themes such as awakening, resistance, and calling for freedom.
In the original novel, Pita is a boy who has admired Katniss for a long time. Unfortunately, in the first "The Hunger Games", the actor with the longest appearance did not assume the role of the actor. He was just a dull-looking partner in the competition. . In the second part, Pita is ten times fuller, he has his own feelings, and he is not reconciled to just becoming Katniss' puppet boyfriend. Josh Hutcherson, the actor himself, is young and short, and he is more inclined to be protected when he is partnered with Katniss, and it is precisely in this way that when this little "boyfriend" begins to shoulder the image of a protector, he has won the actor. Charm of personality.
It is not easy to install a comprehensive novel in two and a half hours. The film knows how to make choices. It focuses on Jennifer Lawrence, who has been promoted to the Oscar actress, and at the same time outlines a wonderful group portrait with a few strokes. For example, the seemingly cynical but scheming black secrets, such as Effie with extraordinary appearance but full of mortal emotions, such as Katniss's insecure sister, such as Finnick's self-sacrificing old friend, each character is given with one or two details. Unique character traits. The wind is blowing, and many empty shots also highlight Katniss' inner world of mixed flavors.
"Sparkling Plains" is unique in terms of perception. On the one hand, it is a luxurious and dazzling fantasy world of powerful and powerful people, and on the other hand, it is such a familiar and difficult life picture; "Sparkling Plains" is unique in genre, which is different from "Twilight" With "The Chronicles of Narnia", it blends youth, fantasy, action, adventure, and thriller into one. It is not just a love triangle plus "Battle Royale" for you. I believe that most fans who have watched "Sparking Fire" are beginning to look forward to the arrival of the next "Mockingjay".
