THE HUNGER GAMES

I have said before that I am not a huge reader so no, I have no read the books, but I can tell you one thing, this is an excellent movie! Its incredibly weird though because although I honestly do think that it was brilliant, I cannot say that I loved watching it. The thing is that the actual concept of the movie is sick. It is about children battleing it out and killing each other until their is one winner. It is all about survival and shows hints of having to lie, scheme and back-stab to get this. These poor poor children have no choice but to try their best. The weak dont survive.

Although I didnt like the values of the film, it was perfectly executed. The script was incredibly clever (recognition to the writer!!) and the effects and cast were also brilliant and very convincing. We se the story from the point of view of Katnis who is thrust into this unpleasant environment with no choice, but she is strong and we watch her battle and grow close to her as well as Peter, the other child that is sent from her district. It could takes ages to describe this film to you because it has many layers and it intelectually brilliant so all I can say is go and watch it now! However be warned, it is violent and if you, like me, cannot comprehend such concepts in a way that it will actually emotionally effect you then don't because it is a film like that. Also please do listen to the age restriction for your kids or if you are younger because it is justly that age.

I would recommend this movie for people who enjoy clever films that play on their emotions. Also drama's with a hint of love in the air. Rotten tomatoes gave it a well-deserved 84%, I might have even given it slightly higher? The film also offers a well-selected and popular cast including Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Lium Hensworth.
