"The Hunger Games" is a soft science fiction masterpiece that is both superficial and profound.
This work cost 78 million yuan, and there are no big stars or big directors.

Judging from the above report card, "The Hunger Games" completely replaced the "Twilight" series that monopolized the MTV Movie Awards for several consecutive years.
The Hunger Games background is a polarized world with a certain wasteland style: the capital and the 12th (13th) zone. The capital enjoys the prosperity and prosperity brought by advanced technology, and the 12th District suffers from poverty and backwardness brought by low production levels. The capital rulers adopted the terrifying suppression and the Hunger Games method to give the people of the 12th district a great fear and tiny hope to maintain a balance.
story is adapted from science fiction works.
In the social system built by the movie, the center is located in the center of the twelve districts. Every year, twelve districts are forced to send Capita one boy and girl aged 12 to 18 to participate in the Hunger Games, and only one out of 24 people can survive.
heroine Katnis was cast as a burning girl in the arena while Katnis was cast as a star lover with another contestant Pita.
Katniss became a highly anticipated player because she refused to surrender to the rules of the game and refused to surrender to death. The main storyline of the work
's work is not outstanding, but the details are very delicate. The shaking of the camera and the tension of the game can arouse the audience's fear and excitement. Although the character's makeup and hair are exaggerated, the audience feels visually novel;
The story itself involves more elements, between drama and science fiction films, which can satisfy the audience's diverse appetites than simple drama and hard science fiction works.
The purpose of this inhumane murder game is to make people forget to resist.
The leader of the Center for Power wants people to pay attention to the game and only focus on the game. Any resistance caused by dissatisfaction with the game can only be brutally suppressed.
A reality show with the theme of "escape"
A survival training full of science fiction
A romance film with the theme of "redemption"
A not too bloody pursuit and competition

You will find that there are many types of positioning of this work.
What's wonderful about this movie is that its storyline is multifaceted and complex.
talks about the social system and the center of power, involving political issues;
talks about the conflict between thought and reality, involving philosophical issues;
talks about the hesitation, confusion, confusion and helplessness of young people when facing choices, involving psychological issues;
talks about joining hands and overcoming difficulties, involving love propositions.
However, this kind of multifaceted nature is destined to not be particularly profound, and even slightly superficial in some aspects, because it is difficult to cover everything for a good work.
As a soft science fiction movie, the part of the film that involves technological elements has basically no principles. The fancy character costumes and technological means created out of thin air seem nonsensical, becoming the "weakness" of the work;
weak violent elements and the reduction of death elements make the audience not satisfied;
In addition, some of the villain's mental retardation, the love triangle between two men and one woman, and the powerful halo of the heroine are also criticized in this work.
