2. I haven't read the original novel, and I'm going to make it up. The novel party forgives me. .
No nonsense, let's get to the topic, I saw a lot of comments, some compared to "Battle Royale", some compared to "V", and also said that this is obviously a girl's innocent film by Ben Mary Sue. . .
There are a thousand Hunger Games in the eyes of a thousand people, so I will not comment on other reviews, but just talk about my own feelings -
I really see the whole movie as a game.
Of course, the world is made up of games, or game theory would not be called game theory. And, of course, the whole game doesn't just refer to one or two Hunger Games per se -
it's a game between the government and the rebels.
You may shout: I go, how can such advanced technology have such a primitive and brutal political system. Just to please a congressional audience with a reality show? It's not enough to ask "Where's Dad?"
Well, then I have nothing to say, the novel is not written by me, who knows how the author came up with such a bloody setting and such an ugly name (I thought it was a food contest before watching the first one) = _= ||.
But ignoring these details (don't care about them!) the big picture makes sense!
No matter what form it takes (even if he is really a game food, the first place can survive), the president snow has indeed grasped the point of totalitarian rule————
Fear! What killing weapons, brutal regional rulers, are all for this purpose, really, according to their strength, which ruling class can beat the angry ruled class.
It is fear that makes these ruled classes dare not, or even forget to resist, so that they cannot unite together.
But outright fear is also inappropriate, there must be hope. Snow said in a chat with Seneca Kling (former chief game engineer): "Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous,"
also in "1Q84" A very interesting story is that the interrogators of the secret police in the Stalin era took the final exam.
"They would be taken into a square room with only an ordinary small wooden chair and the boss ordered: 'Let that Confess in the chair and make a note. Don't leave the room until you're done!". "
The same is true of the Hunger Games, are you afraid? Want to change? Okay, come and join the Hunger Games and brutally kill your own comrades, those who are living in the same dire straits as you, and be the first. Then what? Then let you Enjoy the same glory and wealth as the people of the Congress District, become a big star, and let everyone in your hometown see that you have been bought by the ruler.
Do you still want to resist at this time? Just like some districts (it seems to be a District 2), began to professionally train killing machines, and did not want to resist.
As for whether the form of the Hunger Games is the best, er, if you can think of a better one, I suggest you consider writing a novel, saying Maybe it will become popular.
At least according to the author, it has been very successful for 74 years! As for the commemoration of those who died in the rebellion, that is purely an excuse.
Besides, why did the heroine participate in the 74th session? Something went wrong...
because of love!! (Big fog)
Because the heroine brought what Snow fears the most---hope, a practical hope (of course, this hope is premeditated, and I'll tell you later )
So in asking what was the essence of the Hunger Games? The president explained, "There is only hope in this world that can overcome fear. "(Previous post). Hope not only made the Hunger Games, but also killed it in '74.
Who is to blame? If I want to say, it's all because of the stupidity of the chief gamer Seneca in the 74th class. According to Snow's statement in the second part: If I were to blow up the two of you in the first part! (The original words are more literary than this one).
Obviously, Seneca didn't understand the essence of the game. He thought that as long as he created a good ending and made the game go smoothly, he would do his due diligence. And what's even more stupid is that he even changed the rules of the game for this (let the hero and heroine survive at the same time). This is good, the ruler actually submits to the ruled, gg. Finally forced to eat poisonous fruit, deserve it.
Well, forgive me for indulging my life without the point. . Go back to the game and see how the two groups played in 2.
The first one has already been said, the government failed miserably, and the rebels established the Statue of Liberty.
Now snow has reacted, and this situation must not be allowed to continue. The method is very simple - destroy the Statue of Liberty and destroy your hopes.
The 75th game designer Plutash (in memory of Hoffman) is absolutely smart. He gave the president two tricks-either bribe the heroine, or stink the heroine.
These two tricks have been used. Of course, it is impossible to really bribe the heroine, but it is practical to make the people mistakenly think that the heroine has been bribed. In 2, the heroine was forced to tour the country, read the speech, show affection, and thank the Congress (snow achieved her goal by threatening the heroine's relatives before the speech). It worked really well, with people shouting, "Why don't you say what you really want to say!" during the speech.
Then there was the indiscriminate bombardment of the media, so that the video of the execution of the prisoner was first broadcast on the TV, and then the video of the male and female protagonists showing their love, and so on. Let people see that if you choose rebellion, you will end up dead. If you choose stability, you will have an infinite future.
Of course, these are not enough to extinguish people who are already angry, and then there is the most extreme move - the
75th Century Game. Let the previous winners play. In this way, firstly, if the heroine is unfortunate enough to hang up, it is exactly what Snow wants. Second, if she does not hang up, then she will win the game. Survive, just like the previous winners! snow won again.
Looks like the strategy is perfect!
But I don't think about it, who came up with the idea, Plutash is a rebel. Insert a sentence here, although Hoffman does not have many scenes, but, oh, that acting skills are praised! It's a pity to die young!
Plutarch's game of chess is even better. What do the rebels need most at this time? Hundreds of feet, go a step further! The spark has ignited, and the people's anger has been ignited. What's needed next is a fuse --
or the 75th Century Game! Think about it, what happened to the promised winner's enjoyment of glory and wealth, and continued to participate in the competition, it is still a more tragic competition than in previous years. Aren't you destroying the hope you made with your own hands?
At the same time, they also want to destroy the 75th game itself, they need an emergency to make the rebellion really happen, and the best thing is to destroy the Hunger Games system.
The preparations of the rebels were very sufficient. Plutash entered the government and became a senior executive. Half of the tributes in the competition were rebels. The method is to use force fields. Of course, in the end, the geek man didn't succeed, and in the end, the heroine destroyed the battlefield. Anyway, the rebels won again, a big victory.
So if you want to say who is to blame for the failure in 2, it is really not to blame snow, the policy making is still very correct, and the result is that the spy broke into the interior.
So in the end, I still have to comment on the reasoning. Some people say that the plot of 2 is too protracted, and there is a lot of nonsense in the front. The real part of the 75th Hunger Games has nothing to say. But if you think of it as a big game, it is not difficult to understand that these are already contests in the early stage, and the game has already started.
I really don't think this film is very Mary Sue. After watching the first one, I thought the plot should be that the heroine becomes stronger and stronger through tempering again and again, and finally leads the people to unify the Central Plains (the fog). As a result, when I saw 2, I found that it was not at all. The heroine is very vulnerable, and a little threat from the government (such as persecuting your family) frightens her and has plans to give up. So the plot is not only unheroic, but very realistic. At the end, Plutash clearly said to the heroine: "You are the goddess we deliberately created."
Peeta is indeed a good man, and anyone else would hesitate between childhood sweethearts and him, so the heroine fell in love with him, Well, it's also a good home, haha. .
Lawrence didn't win the Oscar for nothing, and his acting skills are indeed superb, especially the close-up of the blood in the end, a girl's change from sadness and despair to determination, all expressed.
So, I think it's worth giving four stars, looking forward to the third part.
