The movies in this series are caught in a dilemma

The movies in this series are caught in a dilemma, on the one hand it is a dystopia with a relatively positive theme, on the other hand it is a competitive killing scene that attracts money.

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.

    The compact stimulation is finally much more refreshing than the first one, and the two-hour movie does not feel long. Lawrence wears tights and is plump and attractive. The killing contest goes straight to the theme, and the contestants are all adults, making the whole film a bit less youthful and childish than the previous one, adding mature toughness and violence. This film sets the stage for the third part, and the good show is still to come. As a link between the past and the next, it is definitely worth watching.

    Jennifer Lawrence is particularly in line with the character's temperament and has made the film to a large extent, waiting for the third battle
