THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE REVIEW

MollyMa,704

The Hunger Games is an exciting movie that follows Katniss Everdeen, 16, as she volunteers to take her sister's place in The Hunger Games, a struggle to the death between two tributes from each of Panem's 12 districts. The plot is filled with action, drama, and tension as Katniss fights for her life while handling the politics of the games and the larger society of Panem. She establishes allies, suffers betrayals, and learns about the power of love and the value of standing up to oppression along the way. Viewers are taken on a fascinating journey that examines significant subjects such as economic class inequity, political corruption, and the environment through vivid descriptions and engaging characters.

In my opinion, Jennifer Lawrence expressed every vivid emotion and tension Katniss faced---elated feelings when she finally found Peeta, and melancholy emotions when Rue was killed. I personally cannot imagine The Hunger Games without Jennifer Lawrence.

The Hunger Games depicted a dystopian world that showed the contrasting worlds of the rich and poor in the Capitol and the Districts. The people in Capitol dressed in vivid and lavish costumes and make-up which made them look unlike humans. On the other hand, in the Districts, there are people with empty eyes and bones jutting out, having to eat squirrels, etc. This looks like a fantasy movie, but it actually reflected some of our own world. For example, celebrities' expensive clothing and lifestyles are compared to those of most people.

Overall, I would rate this movie a 10/10.
