      Battle Royale Series and The Hunger Games

      A long time ago, I watched Battle Royale once. The beginning of the movie stated that people under the age of 15 could not watch it. At that time, I was less than 15 years old and thought it was boring, so I closed it.

      Recently, I watched The Hunger Games. The comment said that the battle royale was a remake, so I watched

      the two films together again. The battle royale looks like a special film, and the Hunger Games is a special effect film

      . They got involved in a...

      unwilling compromise

      He is unwilling to compromise, so he does not kill people easily, does not follow the rules of the game, and does not engage in exciting alternatives.
        Compromise, so accept the change of day and night, so there are policies and countermeasures, so pretend to be in love to cater to the audience.
          This is a movie full of contradictions. Just like life. It is by no means a film that highlights violence and blood, nor is it a film that simply explores human nature, or even has...

      Real life vs fake life

      Once I saw such a sentence, the actor was just in other people's stories, shedding his own tears. The characters in the play also change their behavior and distort their will in the arranged plot. So, don't say anything about being your best self, those best are just in the eyes of others.
          I really don't want to say much about the plot.
          It’s just a sudden awakening. We are also living under the watchful eyes of people around us. Every move, every word and deed is being watched...

      The Hunger Games - DO YOU WANT TO WIN?

      Just after watching it, I feel that it is an understandable deep helplessness. The plot is about life and death, cruel and bloody, and I feel that it is an intuitive expression of reality. Either you die or I die, always lose, or give up. There is no way to enter this game, to serve as a tribute in the virtual world, to fight, to fight for the so-called audience to watch, to please them, in exchange for a greater possibility of survival.
      Just like us in real life, a group of young people...

      Does this movie have any highlights?

      The production level of this film can only be regarded as second-rate among B-movies, but before I saw it, the overwhelming publicity seemed to be trying to tell me that this was the best film of 2012... As a result...
          
          
          I can live with the childishness in the film The world view (it's naive, not absurd!!! Don't call illogical things absurd at every turn and think that you can go absurd and say you have realm) Absurdity is full of irony if it is a bowl of soy juice...

      I have seen a lot of movies about autocracy + live-action games before, but there is nothing new, and the development of the plot is too monotonous. In terms of political metaphors, I prefer "V for...

      The movie is not that bad, the narrative is very complete, the ending is beautiful, and the middle is very disturbing and enjoyable to watch. But I always feel that there is such a paragraph between men and women pig feet, it is not love, it is just to cater to the so-called audience's last resort. Take a look at the original book when you have time to look forward to...

      It looks pretty good. I watched it with a low rating before and I haven't watched it. It turned out to be a trilogy and four films were made. The protagonist finally became a "democratic fighter" who led the people to fight...

      This style of European and American movies is the first time I have seen it. It should be in the style of Little Japan. The people in it are dressed up a bit like the style in "Alice in Wonderland", so...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Director Gary Rose brought in a good friend, the famous director Steven Soderbergh as the second director. Soderbergh finished filming the action scenes of the film in just one month.
    On February 22, 2012, on the famous movie ticket sales website Fandango, "The Hunger Games" set a movie ticket pre-sale record. It is reported that 83% of movie tickets have been booked before the release. This number exceeds the pre-sale record of...

    North America Evaluation

    The director successfully brought the characters and stories in the book into reality. Although the storyline of the film is relatively protracted, it also interprets a new perspective. ( Comment on "Variety Show" )
    The first 40 minutes of the film is a bit drowsy, but the structure of the story and the characters are still very exciting. ( "Hollywood Report" review )
    The wonderful film adaptation of the novel makes the previous movies...
