The
Hunger Games
The Hunger Games is a
science-fiction, action and drama film released in March 2012, directed by Gary
Ross and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody
Harrelson and Alexander Ludwig. It is based on a novel named in the same way.
The film is set in a dystopian
future, where the United States of America have become Panem, a country divided
on twelve districts and a Capitol who governs them. When these districts rose
up against the Capitol and later beaten, The Hunger Games were created. They
are a show where twenty-four boys and girls, called tributes, between ages 12
and 18, must fight to death until only one victor remains.
After seventy-four years of Hunger
Games, Katniss Everdeen, a district 12 girl, volunteered to participate in this
show when her sister is picked up in the reaping. Katniss thinks she is going
to die, but she has seen death many times and she is a survivor. Moreover it
appears in the story Peeta Mellark, the tribute boy of her district who is in
love with her.
This is a good film, but I didn’t
like it because I had already read the book, and there were a lot of details
that didn’t appear on the film. I think if I had not read the book, I would have enjoyed the film more.
The cast of the film is really
good: Lawrence was fantastic playing Katniss Everdeen, reflecting all the
emotions that a person who thinks is going to die and kill somebody to survive
would show, and always being faithful to her character on the novel, and
Hutcherson did well for Peeta, but he doesn’t appear in the film as much as
Peeta does in the novel.
The film's soundtrack is a bit bad, mainly, because there is no much. Many scenes of the movie required music, but it was decided not to do it.
The end of the movie was the part I liked the least because it was very confusing and it was difficult to understand what was going on. What is more, it very diiferent from the novel.
As The Hunger Games is a trilogy, I
look forward to watch the next films, and I hope they are better than the
first.
I think you've described very well the plot of "The Hunger Games". In contrast with your opinion, I liked the film, but maybe because I hadn't read the books before so I wasn't expecting anything special. You're right about the fact that there is hardly soundtrack, but the truth is that the emotions of the people who know they have to fight for their lives are really well represented by those actors.
