The Hunger Games
Rated PG13 for intense violent thematic material and disturbing images -all involving teens.
Directed by: Gary Ross.
Staring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson..
About:
In futuristic North America, because of their rebellion against the capital, 24 teens ages 12-18 years old are selected to fight to the death on live television, for the enjoyment of the capital.
Katniss Everdeen doesn't fear for her sisters first reaping, so when her sister is picked, she becomes the first volunteer in her district to save her sisters life for another year. What happens will change her life forever, and will change the history of the Games.
My thoughts:
I personally love this movie, and the story behind it. It really opens your eyes to what could really happen to our society in the future, if we let them control us.
The only thing I would complain about is that they only made it about 70% true to the book. They took out some parts that I would have liked to see in the book, some very important parts.
But other than that, is has an intriguing story, great actors, and makes you tear out your hair for the next movie.
Violence:
This movie is about teens fighting to the death for the enjoyment of those of higher caste. There are multiple teen deaths throughout the movie, but most of them are blocked out by a shaky screen, so you do not see much. A boy gets his leg cut with a sword, and Katniss takes care of him. Katniss gets her forehead cut, and other minor injuries. Blood is briefly shown throughout the film.
Language:
I can only remember two curse words, and some minor crude words.
Other:
Two teens kiss. Katniss's mentor is shown drunk and with bottles in his hand in some scenes.
Hope you enjoyed this review of "The Hunger Games"!
