It's finally over....Compared to the surprise of 2 and the disappointment of 3, I finally ended the whole story with a happy ending (should be considered) without any accident.
This kind of series of movies has an obvious routine, the protagonist who represents the heroism throughout the story + the unfortunate partners who are always the cannon fodder + the villain leader who has done the best of the organization + the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties along the way. In fact, the time span of watching these films is relatively long, so that I do not understand the complex story background and character relationships in detail (of course, the protagonists still know it), but this does not affect my acceptance of the whole story. conveyed ideas and metaphors. In my impression, Katniss hasn't laughed since the first movie. She was forced to leave her family. She witnessed the departure of friends and relatives one by one and faced various impossible tasks. She really couldn't find anything that could make her smile. For her, Pita, I think, is more of a kind of spiritual comfort and sustenance (when love is a bit blunt), so in the last part, she must ensure that anyone she loses will not lose him again. There is also about the leadership class, compared to "Divergent" and "Maze Runner" (I always like to compare these..), you will find that the appearance is all clean and tidy, symbolizing authority uniforms, with hair in No mess at all times, always with delicate makeup on their faces and unsmiling, no matter how dire and destitute their people are. Some people say that this is a political implication, a symbol of the shrewdness of the ruling class and the ignorance of the toiling masses. I would like to say that even without the hint of the movie, few people do not understand the gap and truth of this reality.
The most impressive thing in the movie is the last scene. After many years, the hero and heroine give birth to a pair of children. The male protagonist was laughing and playing with the children on the grass, and the female protagonist watched all this contentedly with the baby in his arms. The sun is very good, the grass is green, and the heroine wearing a floral dress.. I thought of "the years are quiet". In fact, just looking at these four words is slightly pretentious, just because I thought of a paragraph I had seen. "The years are quiet and good" must describe a person who can experience the beauty of life and be full of hope after experiencing great winds and waves, suffering, and experiencing unspeakable setbacks and pains. If there is no such experience, the years will only appear calm and unremarkable because there are no worries and sorrows. So here, the peace and tranquility that they both got after all is especially precious.
Stories are just stories, and movies are just movies. Perhaps the plot is more thrilling, and the visuals are more gorgeous and rich. But some things are still too pale compared to the real world.
