triggered my emotions a lot, since I wouldn’t want anyone to experience such a horrible
situation as the one in the arena of the Hunger Games.
I also thought that the movie war very well directed and filmed. It seemed extremely real
and everything was caught from several camera positions which gave me a clearer view of
the situation and surroundings.
Moreover, I thought that the differences between rich and poor were a bit too big. There
was no middle class which existed in every society. This is a bit unrealistic, which made the
movie a bit less good. The Hunger Games were created to give the poor layer of society a bit
of hope. A nice quote from the movie is: “The only thing more powerful then fear is hope”.
The President said this to the organiser of the Hunger Games. It shows the way regimes rule.
By giving their population a bit of hope to avoid a revolution or uprising.
I haven’t been really open minded, because my friend and my mum already told me where
the movie was about. This made me a bit prejudiced, because everybody told me the movie
was really good, so I expected it would be amazing as well. During the movie I was really
curious about how it was going to end. You never want to stop in the middle of a movie, but
when my mother or me had to get to the toilet or got something to drink I really wanted to
start the movie again as quickly as possible to see what was going to happen. I changed my
mind a bit during the movie, because it wasn’t what I expected it would be. The special
effects and filming were even better than I expected which was a big plus.
I would recommend everybody to watch the Hunger Games, because it is such a good movie
with really good en interesting themes, amazing special effects and filming and really good
acting. People who don’t like harsh things such as killing, blood and hunger should close
their eyes during those parts of the movie, because the rest is fantastic as well.
