As one of many Hunger Game fanatics, I read an article that
was written about the movie The Hunger
Games. The film article, The Hunger
Games was written by Scott Tobias (http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-hunger-games,71293/).
This article was well written and gave a good summary of the movie. Having read
the books then after seeing the movies, what I learned from this article was
that, for people who just watched the movie, there were often too many
characters that were only developed a small amount for viewers to keep track
of. When the author talked about the rating of the movie I do agree that it
made the violence go down a great amount from the book to the movie in order to
make it a PG-13 movie. I really enjoyed how the author compared parts of the
movie to different TV shows such as the dangerous game coming from The Running Man and how it is similar to
the TV show Survivor. Lastly it was
compared to The Truman Show. Overall
I felt that the author, Scott Tobias, had a negative attitude for the movie
which I don’t agree with, but it was a well written article the included good supporting
points.
I have also read the books and watched the movies. I agree that the violence went way down with rating it as a PG-13 movie which I personally did not like.
