The oppressive atmosphere created at the beginning of the film allows the viewer to enter the situation smoothly. This depressing atmosphere was reconciled by the little sweetness of the heroine and the second man, so that it would not be overwhelming. In the two hours after explaining the rules of the game, the heroine used her sacrifice for her sister, accurate archery, decisive judgment, serious expression, irritable character, and rich experience of survival in the wild. , Sister-controlled, mature, kind-hearted and strong image of a strong woman, who wins her over others.
In fact, the film only uses special effects, surreal scenes and love lines as gimmicks, and the connotation reflected is too shallow. But if you insist on pulling out a unique theme, it is still possible. Like about rules. The first man and the female protagonist were sitting in front of the big French windows and had their first in-depth conversation. The second man said, "I don't want them to change me." This can be understood as a rule, and it can also be understood as the absolute power behind the rule. The process of winning the Hunger Games championship between the heroine and the second man is also a process of how the two struggle between human nature and inhumane rules. The heroine's love for Lu still retains her humanity at the juncture of life and death. But this is also lackluster, the heroine just hugs the girl when she is timid, weeps when she dies, and picks a bouquet of flowers to pay homage. The unimaginative plot feels like the film lacks respect for the audience.
Of course, you can't be too demanding for a blockbuster that is purely used to stimulate nerves. In terms of plot setting, the heroine shows courage and wisdom twice, one is to shoot the apple in the pig's mouth when pulling sponsorship, and the other is to blow up the enemy's materials. But both times seemed too procrastinated, both through archery, nothing new. The ending seemed a bit anticlimactic, and when we exclaimed, "What is this old man doing??", the film stopped abruptly. Could it be that the director wants to make a sequel?
3 stars, after all, it's hard to make films of this quality other than in the United States.
