The Hunger Games is not a nostalgic drama, as I thought when I heard the title for the first time. It is based on the American author Suzanne Collins's best seller series with the same name. It is directed by Gary Ross and the main characters are performed by Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson.
The film takes place in the future nation Panem, and it is about some teenagers who are chosen by a totalitarian state called "Capitol", which manages each of the twelve poorer districts that compose Panem. During the Hunger Games these 24 teenagers must participate in them fightinng until there is just one of them alive. The main character is a sixteen-year-old girl called Katniss Everdeen who is a volunteer as a "tribute" to save her sister's life, because the Capitol had chosen her before. However, Katniss gets in love with her district mate, Peeta, and that's why everything seems to be extremely confusing for her.
In my opinion, teenager would really enjoy this film because it includes drama, action and romance trames. In addition to that, it has an absolutely surprising ending.
At first I also thought that the film would be a drama, but when I saw it I realized that it was also an action and love story. I like the way you wrote the review, because it tells you the main facts and it's quite summed up.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson represent very well the emotions of the tributes, and their love story is very emotive.
