The Hunger Games Catching Fire
SCORE: 61
The Hunger Games Catching Fire did not
seem as controversial as the first Hunger Games movie. I believe that is
because the second movie moves away from having children being murdered.
Instead it is adults that do the killing, and that are killed. There is
also much more about the decadence of the capital, and the oppression of
the government.
Many of us can relate to an oppressive government. A government that
reaches beyond its bounds, power, and authority. A president that could
care less about the US Constitution and do whatever he feels is right.
No matter how much destruction he causes. He justifies it in his mind,
and his followers applaud him.
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta go on their victory tour in The Hunger Games
Catching Fire. They wind up getting caught between the oppressive
government, and the revolution that is brewing. Their decision to eat
berries instead of kill one another is seen as an act of defiance.
The seventy-fith Hunger Games commences in The Hunger Games Catching
Fire. This one selects from only previous victors. This puts Katniss and
Peeta right back into the Hunger Games. This time against previous years
victors. What they don’t know is what is going on behind the scenes.
There is blood, violence, drinking, and bad language in The Hunger Games
Catching Fire. Plenty of threats, and the government abusing its power.
There are also threats and manipulation. Victors have flashbacks and we
realize there never winners in the Hunger Games. There are only
survivors. Plenty of new, cool, and interesting characters are added to
the mix in The Hunger Games Catching Fire.
I like The Hunger Games Catching Fire more than the original and first
Hunger Games movie. I can see how things are building. I can understand
the anger towards an oppressive governmental regime. One more movie to
go in this series.
