If it's just an expression of dystopia, this movie looks extremely pale. Because the bottom performance is too little, I still remember how many people below were only present when the male and female champions in the 12th district went to each district to give a speech. Even computer synthesis can't handle it this way. There was too little information about the social mechanism and formation, and it was revealed little by little. At the same time, dystopia is too positive, and the effect of sucking money will not be guaranteed by the killing scene.
If it's just a competitive scene of fighting and killing, everyone will be accused of brainlessness, and no one will give praise. Therefore, the background that was originally set at the center of the story became the theme. But if the fighting scenes like "Battle Royale" and "Killer Tournament" are missing, there is no box office guarantee.
The director gave a compromise, just like the final ending. Shifting everyone's attention from the survival game where there is only one remaining person to the resistance to society, the revolution. The desperate and helpless murder scene that everyone had expected has turned into a passion for rebelling against the social system. This also laid the groundwork for the continuation of the third part.
This is also doomed to the unobservability of the movies in this series. The two aspects are not reconciled well, resulting in no one aspect giving people a complete experience.
