The Hunger Games, from the first Burning Girl debuted and participated in the game in a lawful manner, relying on humanity and kindness and bravery to win the right to survive, to the second cruel game that was finally torn apart by the players under coercion and struggle, and then to The upper and lower two episodes of the third part, the game, always run through the whole story. Even if the narrator, director and actors of the story are less and less interpreting the film as a commercial film, the film becomes more and more sloppy in the most eye-catching "game" part, but after all, it still insists on the whole work. Continuity of clues.
The third part, two episodes up and down, can be viewed as a reflective art film about war and politics. Under the foreshadowing of the first two episodes, the anti-authoritarian image of Mockingjay has been formed naturally. However, when such a heroic character is used by both positive and negative factions, what kind of psychological state will it show, and will it lose independent thinking? Whether the ability and sharpness of decision will be played by the old naked abusers and the new secret dictators will once again become their "tributes" on and off the battlefield. As a public figure who plays a pivotal role in influencing the political trend and situation of the country and has considerable appeal to the people, how can she face private and public enemies? Compared with the virtual game scenes and terrifying strange creatures and traps created in 3D, this may be a game with high IQ and high political quotient, which eats people invisible and devours people and their spirits together. The insidious opponents each hold ignorant chess pieces. The goal of the player is no longer to intimidate and convince, but to hypnotize and brainwash them. It is an extreme desire for power to forbear. Such desire is almost certain to breed the same extreme despotism. and the deceitful kidnapping of a fair conscience. The creators, through Katniss and her companions, tried to express how war, politics, tyranny and slavery are - this is the real design of the game - the resistance of the pawns, but also enough energy to stop the game . Although, no one knows, human beings are always foolishly putting themselves in the cyclical killing game again and again, being destroyed by the game again and again and learning the lessons to recover and rise again. Who knows, maybe this time, it will be different.
Katniss's one-to-two love can finally be determined in the character selection of this game. Since childhood, my lover has chosen different positions on politics and war. You can like it, you can be moved, you can respect it, you can thank it, but you can’t go together from now on. Peeta who is willing to accompany Katniss from beginning to end, Katniss gradually realized that only when the heart is connected, the feet will step together, the hands will always be intertwined, and the peaceful life can be entrusted to each other.
In the third episode, Katniss is flustered and tangled, on the verge of being confused between the authenticity and the fake. The game is like an inescapable net, covering her every day. It made her even more at a loss. What supports this strong girl is a simple sense of mission, which keeps her out of the gamer's arrangement again and again. In front of the camera, in the face of accidents and sacrifices, she is like a mocking bird in the forest again and again, blooming and burning naturally. The land of silence and depression has regained its vitality and resistance, and the solemnity and tenacity of life are revealed in the cold silence of the hanging man's song. In the next episode, the final chapter, all kinds of thinking and choices have made the final decision, and the arrow of Katniss' execution, unsurprisingly, hit the heart of the dictator. The old game modes are over, and new games may be in the works.
After commenting on the story and idea of the film - this is the best part of this film. It should be said that the first commercial film has the best effect, but the second film is not satisfactory. The championship century extreme game, but there are not many highlights in the game. , makes people feel that the game designer is out of his depth. The first episode of the third part was rather lengthy, but an episode saved the whole movie; in the second episode, both the director and the screenwriter made some deviations, the plot explanation lacked a sense of hierarchy, and some clues that could reveal the sense of the scene were not obtained enough The layout and scribbles have been scribbled, so that some parts of the logic have problems. Both the director and the actors are too "hearted", deviating from the successful track of commercial films, and they did not shoot their own successful angle. The plot developed too many detours. Katniss was injured and fainted at least two or three times. Is it because the game crashed and reloaded again. Start? In the end, Katniss's selection process was meticulous about the choice of war and politics, but the performance of other characters was too superficial and one-liners. Fortunately, Gal and Peeta are still somewhat three-dimensional. Performance, the positioning of the leader of the rebel army and the fact that he was shot to death by an arrow and even no one was held accountable, makes people feel too "game". Maybe it will be more relaxing to read the original. It's always a pity that a good story is not captured and performed well.
I remember reading the original work of "Gone with the Wind", and then I went to the movie. The film was nearly four hours long. The length of the film and the difference between visual art and literary art, the imagination of the text is far greater than the film can provide. However, the classic part is that Gone with the Wind is a piece. After watching it for a while, the charm is still full, and I have seen it a lot. Every detail of the actor's performance and the picture of each scene can gradually experience some other than the plot. Feelings gradually fill in the blanks at first sight. Especially, when the words slowly fade out of memory, the complementing feeling of the picture is particularly strong. The performance of the actors gradually replaces the imagination in the mind. Rhett must be like Gable, and Scarlett must be like Vivien Leigh. At this time, the original book and the film have become twin works that complement each other.
In contrast, the third part of The Hunger Games is still lacking heat.
