'The Hunger Games' filmanalyse

The action filled movie “The Hunger Games” challenges the audience.

Jenifer Lawrence breaks through as the most outstanding young American actress in “The Hunger Games”. Lawrence plays the main person Katniss Everdeen, who is a tough young woman but at the same time she is shy and vulnerable. Katniss Everdeen takes you through a whole new universe, filled with poverty, rough reality shows – a universe where rich people do not see the problem with seeing a poor child getting killed on live television. Is this really how the future is going to be? Or is “The Hunger Games” just a more caricatured world of we are living in now? If you compare “The Hunger Games” to the reality shows which shows on the television every night, you will only need to turn up the heat and it will be like “The Hunger Games” – you will get burned. In the movie Katniss Everdeen was called the girl on fire, and she was. She became a symbol of the rebellion which was about to rise against the Capitol.

“Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective; a lot of hope is dangerous.”Quote from President Snow. President Snow is the evil leader of “The Capitol” who once a year forces 24 children aged 12 – 18 to compete in a gladiator-like Hunger Game. It brings the image to violence of the “Games” and to President Snow’s madness.
