1. Game upgrades
The routines of the first two Hunger Games are exactly the same, that is, the big cousin will pass the level to complete the game, and develop a few relationships by the way. And the style of the third part began to change, without the special effects of Duang~ on Adventure Island, it was more of a war environment, dilapidated hospitals and ruins; there was no tension in the competition, but more of a political battle of wits between the two camps; There is no eldest cousin who plays like a superhero of one against ten, but more is that she returns to an ordinary person, and uses the perspective of a woman in the context of war to understand the cruelty of war, to experience the survival of revolutionaries, and to weigh love.
The third film is no longer a commercial action film, but more like a prelude to a war epic, an expansion film. So if you liked the tension and excitement of the first two, you will be disappointed in this one. Because the third "The Hunger Games" has been upgraded, it is no longer a show that is consumed by people in front of everyone's eyes, but is restored to how the real war is brewing and happening outside the TV, and the focus is no longer on the action, but the heart.

2. Big cousin has never been so great
. There is a scene in the third movie: Big cousin and Gail are resting in the jungle creek. on Gale's shoulders. When I saw this passage, my first reaction was disdain, "This guy is stepping on two boats, your other boyfriend is still in the hands of the enemy, and you are still lingering here?!" Later, I thought, why am I so I think it's because I take this role very high, and according to the standards in my mind, she should be devoted in love and reckless. But this character has always been the daughter of an ordinary family, and should not bear such a high moral image. She is an ordinary girl who will hesitate in love, be selfish, and be timid (of course, she is already very strong in the film), and will You need someone to lean on when you're tired. Therefore, the portrayal of the heroine in the film is real, and the interpretation of the big cousin is also in place. We're not looking at a goddess who was born unique, but at how an ordinary girl confronts her own confusion and fears. As for whether we can overcome these confusions, we have to follow the next episode.
What I want to say is that all of us have these confusions and fears. Everyone has it, only then can we empathize and be close to the truth.

3. A wonderful performance by Julianne Moore
Julianne played the role of the female president of the rebel army in the film. Some people said that her expression was dead and lifeless, and she had no acting skills. But I think that's exactly where she handles the role the best.
As the president of the rebel army, she must have experienced despair, as the movie says she watched her children and husband die. It was through so much that the expression disappeared from his face. She doesn't need to show sadness, because sadness is too much; she doesn't need to show anger, because a leader has to be rational; she doesn't need to show passion, because passion can't be eaten, as a leader, it is more important to you attitudes and behaviors. You can't make Julia raise her right hand and shout "Fight to xx imperialism", that's what the head of the regiment does and doesn't fit the status of a leader. Therefore, Julianne's performance in the film is very good. Her grasp of the female president has restrained the power of this character. Only when it is the most critical can you hear her roar. Just like her line in the film: "The fire of revolution needs oxygen to burn, but using all the air in the room will put it out." Revolution, not incitement.

4. The addition
of the blonde female director is so cool! Great!
