The Hunger Games series is so exciting that it carries more than "dystopia"

Although I am a fan of sci-fi/fantasy for many years, I am particularly fond of the THG series because it conveys far more than pure "dystopia". In the third part, the "media violence" has been mocked to the extreme. The first thing the film crew thinks of the edifice leaning forward is how to use the opportunity to instigate the people to promote heroism and political/military invasions again and again. All of them are expressed in the form of mass media and projected into the real world.

Another breakthrough of the THG series is that it created the pinnacle of superhero movies with women as the dominant role. Even in the past, [Tomb Raider] also had the main role of An Ma relying on her figure to earn her eyeballs, but this series is really skimming The inherent image of women in superhero movies (and the final behind-the-scenes boss of the series is actually a female character, so I won’t give spoilers to anyone who hasn’t read the book here). At this stage of the "game", the political color is too strong. What is particularly impressive is Effy's golden sentence: "The fashion of the past may also be on the forefront of the retro trend, such as democracy." With Effy The tone of the book is interesting to break the author's subtle attitude towards so-called "democracy".

The superb acting skills of JLaw have also raised the film to a higher level from the image level. Just imagine how many films that are directed by teenagers can be selected by a 90-year-old filmmaker (yes, I am Zhan Blow). After the adaptation, there is no deviation in the grasp of the center. The scenes and special effects are satisfactory. The ost, which has always been of high quality and outrageous since the first film, is naturally produced by Lorde. The only flaw in the flaws (for non-original parties) may be that this episode is a foreshadowing set, mainly introducing the 13th district and the current political situation. The head-on conflicts in the next part are all caused by the grass snakes in this part. The gray line extends, so many people feel that the plot progresses slowly, which is understandable. Hey, I have to wait a year for the next one, I'm anxious.

(Ps This is actually just a comment that can't fit in the short comment box, and it was not written as a long comment, so it's no wonder that there is no logic in the writing)

    After watching a chat video for two hours, I might as well read a novel! Judging the quality of a movie is not by the degree of restoration of the original, but by looking at whether the movie itself is wonderful in isolation. As an audience who has never seen the original, this movie is as boring as a PPT. 2015.2.8 Chengdu Lumiere Studios (Capital Plaza)

    Oh, it seems that everyone doesn’t like this one very much, but I think it’s getting more and more interesting. The action part is 0, so I guess it’s all left for the second half. But I feel that the characterization of each character is better than before. The setting of the revolution is really good.
