Actually The Hunger Games is not just the beginning of a Hunger series for me. He was the beginning of a movie genre. An overhead futuristic setting, a strange ruling class high above. A brutal game. This mode setting has apparently become a trend from here: Human Clearance, Snowpiercer, Battle Royale, Maze Runner, Death Party, Alien Killing... Although this genre has been in my heart by the Divergent and The Giver (sorry again Taylor) pulled down to the extreme.
The eldest cousin, Katniss, took part in the Hunger Games instead of her younger sister. She brought someone from the same district as her, who looked as wretched as her heart. I don't want to call it Peeta, the male protagonist. After defeating people in other districts, the older cousin, Archer Han Bing, who is good at archery, plays a screen couple with the male protagonist in order to survive. However, the boyfriend who took care of his family at home was in a daze, and then he participated in the game for the second time; he was rescued by the rebels; when the spokesperson of the rebels called everyone to rebel; dragged the plot.
Let’s talk about watching it three times tonight, after all, I can’t remember the details of the second and third part. The eldest cousin's voice broke, and Peeta was rescued, but her mind was controlled. Then the eldest cousin, her boyfriend, Peeta, Finnick and others embarked on a road to death in order to shoot a spokesperson education film. It should be noted that there are two most important points here: filming and death. Therefore, there is a point that is easily overlooked here, the whole three chapters, the journey of the heroine and a team of people. The role of the rebel army is to shoot educational films to influence the people to call for rebellion. rather than defeating Congress. (Although the eldest cousin's personal goal is to shoot the president) Does it work? In the public eye, Mockingjay was dead by the time the asphalt flooded. The words of the rebel leader Julian Moore at this time were the key to influencing the people. It is also the meaning of the entire Mockingjay's existence. At this point, Katniss's life or death was of no use to the rebels. What did the heroine do at this time? Take this bunch of people to kill the president under the tower. Although this bunch of people also say that our lives are not our own, but for you to die has meaning. Then began the journey of death. Teammates died all the way. Then the heroine and her boyfriend finally walked to the entrance of the Congress Palace. At this time the rebels came. And won. The eldest cousin was stunned again. That is to say! It's a journey of death in vain. The rebels are going to win after all. Although winning looks easy, you have killed everyone around you who protected you. Therefore, it is most important that the green leaves staying around the protagonist must carefully choose a path that does not sacrifice. When the people swarmed into the city, the small parachute that looked like the first supply was dropped from the sky was obviously a bomb, and it was obviously used by the rebels to break down the last line of defense in Congress → the psychology of Congress guards. And such an obvious tactic, the big cousin actually thought of it only after an interview with Snow. Then the boyfriend's squeak hinted for the second time the shutdown of the relationship. And I always feel that the difference in the three views of the war years is not an excuse for the end of the relationship, but just a means for the screenwriter to force the heroine and the hero to be together. (Only these two men in the world can choose? And the most handsome, strongest and caring Finnick is going to die?!)
Back in the beginning, Julianne Moore said, we are the designers of the game, so whatever President Katniss says we can say we pre-arranged. This is the first hint; then, while the president is being captured, the president asks the big cousin whether the rebel leader is really going to liberate the country, or replace himself. This was the second time, expressly; Moore had a meeting and said I was barely serving as interim president. This is the third hint. After hinting, Moore said that in order to reduce public hatred, I propose to create another game similar to the Hunger Games. After saying this, there were all kinds of boos in the movie theater. Boo what? Implied so many times? Didn't China's five thousand years of culture come from this way?
And then yes, our big cousin lived up to expectations and shot the future dictator Cheng. The heroine and the hero live happily together. The original boyfriend was forced out because his character was not clearly portrayed and he had no specialties except taking care of his family. The male protagonist who is wretched and occasionally can't control himself to go crazy and kill people has succeeded in this way. I think there's a next Hunger Games movie called The Shining. The male protagonist suddenly beheaded his wife and children one day, and finally played his own story to death.
Rumbling. Katniss is the most successful character portrayer. "You never let me down". In the end, the part where I missed my sister roaring at the cat at home really touched the tears. Now think about who is the biggest beneficiary of this war. The hero and the heroine? That "hope you live the life of a winner" tells us not; Moore? Successfully led the revolution and was shot dead just as he was about to take over as president, obviously not either; new president? It turned out that the leaders of the most oppressed districts did not make up for the pain, and there was no way to talk about the benefits. So the biggest beneficiary is obviously that fat uncle. When Moore was the leader, you were ambiguous with your design strategy, and when someone was shot to death, you immediately became a new leader and became a celebrity. No price was paid from start to finish. Once again confirmed a truth, if you want to survive, stay away from the protagonist.
