After the
rebellion in Empire somewhere in a future, the punishment is set for 12
rebelled districts. The Capitol selects a boy and a girl from each district who
fight to death on live television. Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her
younger sister's place for the latest match.
The movie
is based on the first novel in the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins,
published in 2008. It was probably the most advertised film of the spring, and,
given the bestseller nature of the books, the film to wait for. And the fans
will not be put down.
Art always
follows the mood of the crowd, reflects it and tries to satisfy the desires of
the majority. This is why the occurrence of the anti-utopian and
post-apocalyptic movie was actually predictable given the world-wide movements like
“Occupy Wall-Street”. The society filed a demand for another “V for Vendetta”,
and the movie industry (as well as book-publishing) rushed to satisfy it.
