Call from Mockingbird

To be honest, the first time I watched "The Hunger Games" I did not understand it. After a long time, I really forgot the feeling of watching movies at the time, but there is a bit of doubt. I remember very clearly: setting such a dystopian world to the end What is the purpose, there must be a reason, this is not just a game!
Later, in the rush that I felt, "Sparking Fire" was released, as if I was also the hay of the prairie, all the emotions broke out in an instant. It turned out that "The Hunger Games" was so great. So the illusory social problem was actually presented to the audience by the author as a game in all aspects. What the movie describes is not a game, at least, it is not just a game.
"Freedom" seems to be an unfamiliar thing that the Chinese have approached. It has appeared hazily in the eyes of the people walking in the front, and the outline gradually becomes full and real in their eyes, but they still don't understand its family.
In recent years, movies that fight for freedom have continued to cause box office sensations abroad. Children’s appeals "Lego World", black human rights struggle "Long Road to Freedom", "White House Steward", "Twelve Years as a Slave", are unsuccessful. The rights and freedom of the world "violent neighborhoods". I still remember the heart-piercing "Freedom!" at the end of "Brave Heart", the three-finger facing power and the simple four-tone note in "The Hunger Games" have been echoing in my heart, constantly inciting my desire for freedom. heart of.
Everyone has the firewood to resist, but everyone lacks the spark that can ignite it, and there is no reason to gather the firewood. As Finnick said in "Sparking Fire": "I don't care about any of them." In life, everyone plays the role of a good audience. We look at other people in life like watching The Hunger Games. Survive and fight to the death. In this game, human lives are not even qualified to become a bargaining chip. The people who designed the game are at the mercy of the people who designed the game and let them adjust the rules of the game at will to influence the lives of our children. It’s like that mysterious Greek myth: “To fight against us we will do more cruel things than kill you, and we will kill your children.”
When you see an ignorant girl who offers flowers to Katniss and becomes a volunteer like her in the film, everyone should start thinking about who made the future of the world so cruel. Children can't even imagine when they say this. What will I lose to myself. Snow's granddaughter said: "One day, I will love someone like this." Not only did Snow fall into contemplation, but I was also thinking about how much power could love change the world? I read Susan Collins's original novels. There is no such description in the article. Susan Collins' grasp of politics has been fully supplemented by the screenwriter and director in the film, and the film has given us a perfect political game.
The first "The Hunger Games" is just a prelude. After watching the first, and even the second and third times, I still don’t think of the following stories, because I really didn’t expect President Snow to be so. It's cruel, and politics is so cruel, so cruel that the people can't stop the game from going on. The refusal of childbirth by Katniss in the first part is really impressive. This has fully demonstrated the crimes against humanity in the political environment at that time-the people can only avoid the possible future parting of life and death by refusing to have children. It also paved the way for Katniss’s fake pregnancy opposition game in "Sparking Fire". So far, the nation’s anti-gaming wave has reached its peak, which is obviously not a 24-person game anymore. Moreover, since the beginning of the nationwide tour of "Sparks of Fire", we have realized that war is inevitable. It is only a question of sooner or later. It is only a question of when our Mockingjay will mature. Katniss' appeal as Mockingjay will inevitably become the spiritual leader leading this war against power.
The game itself is not fascinating. People go from cowardly obedience to united resistance. This is what is commendable about this drama. The game is just a symbol. Watching this movie is not just watching this game. Just like Katniss wandering between two boys in the emotional story, the game is life, and you can't get out after you step in.
I am looking forward to the release of the third "Mockingjay". Susan Collins wrote the novel against war. When war really comes, let's see how our mockingbird rejects war.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire quotes

  • Katniss Everdeen: I just wanted to say that I didn't know Thresh, I only spoke to him once. He could have killed me, but instead he showed me mercy. That's a debt I'll never be able to repay. I did know Rue. She wasn't just my ally, she was my friend. I see her in the flowers that grow in the meadow by my house. I hear her in the Mockingjay song. I see her in my sister Prim. She was too young, too gentle, and I couldn't save her. I'm sorry.

  • Finnick Odair: Katniss.

    Katniss Everdeen: Hello, Finnick.

    Finnick Odair: Do you want a sugar cube? I mean it's supposed to be for the horses, but... I mean who cares about them, right? They got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I... well, if we see something sweet we better grab it.

    Katniss Everdeen: No thanks, but I would love to borrow that outfit someday.

    Finnick Odair: You look pretty terrifying in that get up. What happened to the pretty little girl dresses?

    Katniss Everdeen: I outgrew them.

    Finnick Odair: You certainly did. Shame about this quell thing. Now you... you could have made out like a bandit in the Capitol. Jewels, money, anything you wanted.

    Katniss Everdeen: Well, I don't like jewels and I have more money than I need, so... What did you do with all your wealth anyway?

    Finnick Odair: I haven't dealt in anything as common as money in years.

    Katniss Everdeen: Well, then, how do people pay for the pleasure of your company?

    Finnick Odair: With secrets. What about you, Girl on Fire? Any secrets worth my time?

    Katniss Everdeen: I'm an open book. Everybody always seems to know my secrets before I know them myself.

    Finnick Odair: Unfortunately, I think that's true. I'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding. I know how devastating that must be for you. Have a good day.

    [Peeta walks up to them]

    Finnick Odair: [exiting] Peeta.

    Peeta Mellark: Finnick. What'd he want?

    Katniss Everdeen: To know all my secrets.

    Peeta Mellark: Hm. Have to get in line.
