Although the Hunger Games is very similar to the Battle Royale in form, it is a cruel survival game at the expense of human nature. However, the Battle Royale is based in the game, focusing on the expression of survival instincts, which leads to the distortion of human nature; while the Hunger Games is one of the games. external social and political contradictions. This series is a product of American culture, just like a typical Chinese social and cultural product in a small age, with a deep cultural imprint. Once it is separated from the local cultural background, it is impossible to observe and understand the motives and motives of the characters in the works well. psychology.
Teenagers will always be the main body of the future of the world. A long time ago, film and television, literature, and comics began to be created with teenagers as the protagonists, and now it is even more popular. For example, "Star Wars" is a very successful sci-fi epic series with teenagers and children as the protagonists, and "Ender's Game" is also a famous teenage protagonist in the post-golden era. Mention the teenage work "Harry Potter" has achieved great success in both the novel and the film field. Therefore, there are countless followers of "The Hunger Games", "Twilight", "Maze Runner", "Divergent", etc., especially young heroes and youth politics, which have become popular themes of movies in recent years. The author thinks that instead of letting teenagers fantasize about being intoxicated and extravagant every day, it is better to let them look forward to heroism and imagine what kind of power they will play in politics. This will affect their growth, the formation of three views, and freedom. Democracy will have full benefits. The political power of some students can also be seen in the recent movie "My Girls' Generation". They dare to stand up against the unreasonable rules of the school and start some small uprisings. It is no wonder that students are always social and political movements. one of the backbones.
The author does not know which movie is the originator of the second episode, but the second episode of "Harry Potter 7" was very successful. The first episode highlighted personal escape and adventure, with a tight rhythm and a depressing atmosphere; while the second episode showed The preparations before the war and a great battle, the scene is grand. However, even though "Harry Potter" separated the first and second episodes, it did not separate the plot and scenes from top to bottom. The next episode still carried out a lot of plot promotion, and finally reached the climax of the decisive battle. I don't know what are the intentions of those who only know how to watch the scene and don't care about the progress of the plot. Although the first episode of "The Hunger Games 3" was really dull and protracted, if the next episode is not driven by the plot, and there are empty scenes, it will be terrible. The scene serves the plot, and the plot is the guarantee that makes the scene flesh and blood. The author can't understand how the opposition between the plot party and the scene control came into being. The two are fundamentally inseparable and complementary. However, for the example of The Hunger Games 3, the author still thinks that it is more reasonable to combine the upper and lower sets into one and then compress it into two and a half to three hours, and the plot will be more compact.
In terms of scenes, there are not many big scenes in this film. The conflict between the rebel army and the Congress army only exists in the background, and there is no positive performance. The action scenes of the film are all concentrated on the assassination of the president by the special operations team led by Kennis. action. This part of the plot will make people feel similar to "Maze Runner 2", that is, breaking through the maze, passing traps, and ultimately "zombies". However, this film is not really a zombie, but a mutant creature, but it is very similar to the zombies with amazing movement and combat power in "Maze Runner 2", but it does not have the effect of spreading the disease, but it is still a surprise from the classical horror method At first glance, I scared the author chrysanthemum tight. I really don't understand why the current dystopian works are keen to create such "zombie" monsters, is it just to create a little challenge for the protagonists and a little stimulation for the audience at the same time.
The last episode focused on showing the political skills of the rebel president Coyne. The 13th district made her debut in the film, but at least the author did not have a good impression of Coyne from the beginning. Compared with the president of the Congressional District, Snow, she has It's more than that, but in the last episode, the rebels are the main body, and the film didn't tear her face. Many people complained that the Hunger Games 3 was filmed for an entire episode of the promo, but in fact, the filming of the promo has not stopped in the next episode. Why are these people keen to shoot propaganda films? This is actually a political tactic. It is the most effective way to incite, deceive, and brainwash the ignorant people. People will follow whoever goes. Hasn't our country's revolutions and uprisings been like this since ancient times? Regarding District 13, there is a very interesting clothing detail. Everyone may think that the formal clothes they wear are very similar to Chinese tunic suits. This may be an analogy between the revolution in District 13 and the revolution in China.
At the beginning of the film, the black leader of District 8 was brought to the front of the stage, and her democratic political image was vigorously displayed, which was completely different from Coyne's iron-fisted image. Therefore, the plot of this series finale is summed up as a revolution hidden under a revolution, another rebellion within a rebellion. The author is really not surprised that in the final execution, instead of shooting Snow, Kayneth executed Coyne, who was wearing a fascist figure in a tunic on the high platform, with an arrow. Large banner, very Nazi style. This seems to say that revolution requires fascist skills, and governance requires a return to democracy. Perhaps the first three installments of the series were all about showing how the Congressional District is corrupting and depraved, and creating the inhumane plaything of the Hunger Games. But in this episode, what we see is only the rebel army who massacred the people in the Congressional District. Instead, it is President Snow who loves the people more and more. Coyne used the Hunger Games to execute high-ranking congressional district officials and their children, unlike Snow. But even the democratic-looking 8th District leader condoned the rebels to do whatever they wanted to the losers in the Congressional District, she just finally jumped out to accuse and overthrow Coyne, and then called for democracy, and in the end it was Ascend the throne in the arranged [All Expectations].
Freedom is a dream after all.
