I am not a fan of the big cousin, and I have not seen her acting skills to be commendable, but I firmly oppose the fact that the final chapter of the Hunger Games is of poor quality on the Internet. I slept for only four hours last night and I finished watching it with great interest. I escaped the devouring of "tar" in the ruins, and the encounter between the sewers and mutants. These two action scenes are very attractive to me. The audiovisual effect is much better than the 007 Ghost Party.
But for me, the most interesting thing about this film is not the game, it is not fighting and killing, and naturally it is not the love of children, but the dystopia and the media fighting.

To put it simply, the story of this film is that the king used the Hunger Games method to let the people of the Congress district have spiritual entertainment while being warm and rich. Willing to lose, thereby strengthening the king's rule over the rich areas), and convinced the people in other poor areas that they can rise to the top through the channel of The Hunger Games. To put it bluntly, this game is the imperial examination.
As the game progresses, the heroine realizes the true purpose of the king's operation of the game, and then becomes rebellious. Here, the power of the media is reflected. The executor of The Hunger Games, the old aunt played by Juliet Moore, made the heroine into the image of a "national hero", and added fuel and vinegar to the heroine according to the needs of the situation, invisibly turning the heroine into herself Puppet. And at the end of the film, she wins over the hearts of the members around the heroine, and further "isolates" and "controls" the heroine.

In the first and second parts, the use of the media is relatively large, and the fourth part directly presents the results. Its unified purpose is to use public opinion to threaten the heroine's behavior so that she can't escape her palm.
So in the end, the heroine shot the old aunt with an arrow instead of the king, because shooting the king to death can only be refreshing, and shooting the old aunt will be physically and mentally free. By the time the film progressed, the people passed the heroine one after another and stepped forward to kill the king. The heroine’s move is inconsistent with public opinion, but at this time the common people can no longer care about it, because they are about to usher in a new country and establish their utopia, and there is no need for heroes in the utopian world. But they didn't know that if the heroine hadn't shot the old aunt with an arrow, they would still continue to live in the false utopia. The Hunger Games will appear in front of everyone in a different way, and the media will continue to obscure and paralyze people's hearts.

In the end, the heroine returns to the old house and restores a peaceful rural life. This kind of awakening consciousness that is not the same as that of a man and is drunk all over the world is only a hero who deserves to have it. I appreciate it.
The strange thing is, how could such a dystopian movie be released in a country like ours?
