Public opinion moves first

The post-90s are leading the trend of social taste, which can be seen in the cinema. In recent years, novels with teenagers as the core theme have touched one after another, and the good results have been a mess. Take "Twilight" as the precedent, including "Ender's Game", "Divergent", "Moving Maze" which achieved good results last year, and "The Hunger Games" which has already ushered in the climax of the series. This is due to the fact that teenagers have increasingly become the main force in film consumption, and they hope to see the stories of their peers on the screen. On the other hand, it also shows that small fresh meat is dominating the aesthetic trend.

Although the protagonist of the story is younger, the core of the story is not compromised at all. For example, "Ender's Game", followed by the shell of Star Wars, is about deep reflections on war. From this point of view, "The Hunger Games" is very similar to it. The only difference is that "The Hunger Games" didn't show this much in the first two films. The whole movie scene is unfolded in the grand story structure and gorgeous fighting special effects. In other words, when watching the first and second parts, there is a kind of rush to play large-scale somatosensory games. From this perspective, there is no essential difference between us and Shi Huiguo who stare at the big screen. Until the end of the second part, the camera kept zooming in, and finally fixed on the big cousin's eyes full of determination. To be honest, the goose bumps that I was excited about at that time were all up, which indicates that the show is about to begin.

However, the anticipated decisive battle did not appear. In the third part, the only scene where the cousin of Zhongda University used her bow and arrow to fight with the hero. Uh... this looks much worse than hand-to-hand combat! In terms of scenes, the overall tone of this one is much dimmer than the previous two. There are neither dense forests nor clear rivers. This also shows that the war has really started, but Shi Huiguo is a very demanding country, and it took the entire film two hours to fight public opinion before firing at the end.

As a journalism student, I found infinite pride in this film. As a leader, the first thing the eldest cousin was asked to do was to go into the studio to take pictures. In order to shoot realistic effects, I went to the real battlefield to shoot. Moreover, the effect of dissemination was very good. Once the video was broadcast, the celebrity's dialogue became a buzzword. A group of lumberjacks, as if they had magical protection, started running with their guns; after the second shooting, the dam workers also sang songs for heroism, and a simple song was instantly reflected in the heroism of the "Internationale" feel. When the leader said a word, the passion in everyone's heart was ignited and they started to resist. The founders of the "magic bullet theory" and "hypodermic injection theory" in the communication theory might have jumped from the grave with a smile when they saw such a scene.

In the final analysis, the entire film is a public opinion attack and psychological counterattack launched by the 13th District and the Congress District on the big screen. But what is remarkable is that in this process, the big cousin's interpretation of the role has become more and more full. Compared with the previous loyalty, courage, and love, this film more reflects her fragility and her conflicts with feelings. These feelings were not unrevealed before, but when she became a mocking bird, when she became the spiritual pillar of the whole country, her own spirit became more fragile and easy to collapse.

At the end of the film, the eldest cousin approached Pete's ward stepping on the cheers of the crowd and saw that the former lover had fallen into pain and madness. The camera freezes on the flushed eyes, and it is unclear whether it is anger, regret or sadness in it. But what is certain is that the war is really about to start this time. Although it has become the unspoken rule of the industry to split the finale into the top and bottom of the blockbuster series of movies, starting from the second one, the plot for two consecutive films is too long. Does anyone remember the end of the first part? The designer of the game was forced to swallow the poisonous fruit. The interpretation is: if something goes wrong with the show, the producer will die. Well, so let's stop here, the producer can figure it out.

    Is the entire first episode paving the way for the next episode? Lawrence's acting skills have deteriorated.
