We all know about the Hunger Games
series and have either seen the movie directed, by Garry Ross, or read the book
by Suzanne Collins. Katniss Everdeen lives in district 12, in Panem; the new
world after a major civil war. The government is angry about the civil war so
they make 2 tributes from each district (12 districts in all) fight to the
death in an annual Hunger Games. The hunger games is an all-out free for all
fight with only one survivor. During the annual drawing to see who is picked to
be tribute, Katniss’s sister ends up being picked as district 12’s tribute. Katness then volunteers to be the first ever
volunteer as tribute for district twelve, going in place of her sister. Then
you have her whole dramatic showing before the games, her talking about her
sister, preparing for the games, and the creation of the “star crossed lovers.”
Then the
real action starts and Katness is put into the games and as she runs into obstacles
she finds a way through them and continues to go Rambo and win. Although she
did not win alone, she and her fellow tribute or the other “star crossed lover”;
Peeta Mellark where going to kill themselves so they would not have to kill
each other. Before they could the games stopped and it was announced that they
had both won. They were then taken back to the hospital and treated for
anything they needed. The movie ended with president snow congratulating
Katness and right before they were about to go on victors tour.
Having The Hunger Games being a huge success
the second movie Catching Fire was put into action immediately, one year later
the next movie was starting to be shown in theaters. The film begins as Katniss
Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games
along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn
around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's
Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is
simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow
prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that
could change Panem forever, for better or worse.
I have not
yet seen the movie, but I will soon be going to it. I will have a review to the
new Hunger Games movie Catching Fire very soon.
