24 can only live one

The Hunger Games is different from what I imagined. Not so popcorn. I thought I was going to see plasma, but I spent half of the time telling stories slowly. Of course it may be for box office considerations, otherwise many teenagers will not look at it. But it's not bad. I already hate those blood plasma fragments. The future world is depicted in detail, how the people buy things, how they participate in collective activities, and what kind of fear they live under. They are all photographed carefully, without rush or slowness. Life in District 12 is not easy, and the hostess Katniss still needs to go to the forest to secretly eat game. Even worse, the annual "lottery" is coming. Men and women aged 12-18 each draw one, a total of 24 in 12 districts, to participate in a reality show, only live one. The venue of the lottery ceremony is very similar to that of fascists, and the promotional video put on the ceremony can actually attach such a cruel and absurd event with such a sacred patriotic meaning. Is it because I think too much? All of this is quite familiar. Maybe one day this world will become like this. The system really allows people to subtly accept many incredible rules.

The film took another quarter of the time to shoot the training before the start of the reality show, and then the climax began, to see how Katniss made a bloody way out of 24 people. It's really not bloody, which surprised me. The actor Jennifer Lawrence is not pretty. He is not that kind of doll. He looks like a sensible eldest sister who is a poor child. When can the Chinese take a story of a strong heroine to save their favorite weak and weak male protagonist? I'm afraid that few people have thought that it is possible to write stories like this. According to the Chinese concept, girls are only weak and weak and protected by "Ouba". A heroine like the one in The Hunger Games will put too much pressure on boys, and she will become a "leftover girl" when she grows up, haha. And there will be no girls who like weak male protagonists, because, well, you know, there is no "sense of security".

The colorful costumes in the rich areas of this film set off the shallowness of those rich people. Although the clothes for the laborers in District 12 are simple, they are also very nice.
