1 The Hunger Games Movie Review When a novel (or in this case, a series of novels) gain enough recognition, fame, and merchandise to warrant a film adaptation, there is always a mixed bag of reactions that go along with it. General audiences will normally turn with a mild passing interested at the idea. And for a time, profits for the publisher who owns the rights to the works soar, as people buy up copies to prior and during the release in order to see what they are going to be watching, if it is worth their time, and just how much is altered between the two. Some people will despise both as wastes of the paper and film, while others will join the growing rapid fan base that will undoubtedly explode as a reaction to the news of a movie adaptation being in the works and released. More still will nod their amusement, take it as a temporary distraction, and leave as soon as the high has run its course. Fans on the other hand, tend to be a bit more rabid out the gate, and always find themselves rushing to make it to one of two camps before the gates close for good: the "Holy crap this is going to be the greatest day of my life" camp, and the ever-popular "Why are they making this into a movie? OMG Hollywood has destroyed my favorite series and the author who sold their series to a major publisher and achieved success has now sold out by having their story play out to audiences all over the world" camp. This is not to say that everyone feels this way, but the vibes in said fanbase can usually become so strong that people who are even in the moderate camp feel compelled to join one side or the other, lest they be stomped on by their louder, more vicious compatriots. In this regard, fanbases are much like political parties, where if you're not considered radical or conservative enough to roll with the big dogs you may as not even come out onto the porch. 1 / 8
2 With this in mind, I would like to approach the subject material of my first film review: The Hunger Games - a movie based off the premiere novel and series of the same name written by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games is Scholastic's latest young adult franchise in their long line of successful series. Whereas Twilight, their last major mini-empire, polarized fans of literature, vampires, werewolves, and decency in general, with a chasm that could threaten to make the Grand Canyon look like a minor indent, The Hunger Games has provided a series that is a bit more crowd-pleasing. Some people laud it as the next great series and how it seems to exude an aura of intelligence, passion and realistic commentary on war, propaganda and gender roles. While others shrug it off, as at least being better than Twilight, in that there's an actual plot and three-act structure that can be followed with ease. Although in my brother's case, he closed his interest promptly after the Games proper started, and yet he only closed the books once he started the second. As for me, my own personal opinion in this series, is going to have to wait for my complete breakdown of the three books in question. Released in March 23, 2012 by Lionsgate, The Hunger Games movie follows the story of Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in the coal-mining community known as District 12. On the day the movie starts, Katniss, her friend Gale, and every other person in District 12 under the age of eighteen, is preparing for an event called "The Reaping", which you will be excused if you imagine the children waiting in line for harvesting while awaiting the imminent coming of Commander Shepard. But he's too busy punching reporters and determining which crew member to sleep with this game. Despite her assurances that she would never be picked, Katniss's baby sister Prim falls prey to 2 / 8
3 plot contrivance and is selected as the girl tribute for the Hunger Games; a grisly sport where teenagers from each of the twelve districts that surround the capital city are rounded up and made to fight to the death for entertainment, and to remind the people who is in charge. Katniss takes this news as well as can be expected, but decides to remind the audience that she is the protagonist for a reason, and offers herself as tribute instead. And thus, Katniss becomes the female tribute for District 12 and the centerpiece of the story. As the story centers around Katniss, now would be the time to discuss her as a character from the point of view of a film. Jennifer Lawrence plays our protagonist, and seems to fit in rather well for the role. In the novel, Katniss is portrayed as a strong, independent and aloof character, who is headstrong only to the point of being reluctant, although in the end she will clearly do what needs to be done in order to survive. In this regard, Jennifer Lawrence performs an admirable job and somehow manages to give this aloof character a sense of softness and humanity that is missing in the book. Some people have complained that the actress looks too well-fed to play an effective Katniss and state that she looks too pale when compared to the "olive" skin mentioned in the novels. At this point I would like to argue that yes, District 12 is a place where people are always on the cusp of starvation, but Katniss has spent the last few years of her life putting meat on the table by hunting, which would ensure that she and her family would be healthy and living just above the bare status quo. As for her skin, I would like to argue that this is a moot point, as while Jennifer Lawrence may not have the most "appropriate" color, she still fit the role well and carried herself as many people, myself included, viewed Katniss to act. Another point, which I hoped to avoid for later but I know now must be addressed before I go any further, is the argument revolving around the casting of Amandla Stenberg as Rue. This has become one of the most shameful and despicable things that I have seen in recent years, and would like to make a point of it here before going further. In keeping with the theme of "skin color accuracy", Rue is mentioned in the novels to have dark skin. And yet after the casting was made and the movie came out, people from all over the internet cried foul over the choice to cast an African American girl for this part, citing that they always pictured her pale and with blonde hair. To top it off, these "fans" have taken this outcry one step too far in that they have 3 / 8
4 launched forum discussions and tweet campaigns against it. I will not mention half of the things I dug up while doing research for this review, but needless to say, these were things that I wish did not need to be brought up. Better people than I have commented on this sickening display of racism that is best left in the days when segregation was law, and I will not pander to these people by continuing. I just wanted to make note of it because I knew someone would say I left it out of my discussion. As for the actress in question, Amandla Stenberg does a fine job with her small but poignant part. She is cute, heartwarming, and does indeed help fulfill the role of the tragic innocent who represents all of the other innocents tragically lost in this heinous game and all the ones like it. The rest of the cast does a fairly decent job and are well-suited for their roles. Although I never expected him as a part of the cast, Woody Harrelson does a fair job of playing Haymitch, though at any moment during the advice scene I was expecting him to tell Katniss to nut-up or shut-up. Liam Hemsworth and Joshua Hutcherson play respectable versions of Gale and Peeta respectively, and in Joshua Hutcherson's case, he most definitely managed to steal the show from Jennifer Lawrence whenever he appeared on screen. This isn't because Jennifer Lawrence is a weak or unremarkable actress, but that's just how the characters are portrayed; while Katniss burns with a vicious survival instinct kept in check by a cold exterior, Peeta is warm, charismatic, and downright pleasant in his own right. Perhaps the real treat in the casting though, is the subtle wicked performance of Donald Sutherland as President Snow. His scenes are short, concise, and he is always so soft-spoken that you almost forget how ruthless this character is. It was a genuine surprise to see him portrayed in this movie as much as he was, considering President Snow gets less scene-time in the books than Rue, but it all helped to establish his character for later. I would be remiss to not mention the performance of Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, if only because I know a friend would surely beat me within an inch of my life for not saying anything. In truth, I did enjoy his short but endearing portrayal of someone who clearly hated to think he was 4 / 8
5 dressing a child up for slaughter, but by dammit he was going to make her go out in style if she died. My only other surprise with the casting of Paula Malcomson as Katniss and Prim's mother. This is most likely because my brain instantly switches to Deadwood whenever Paula or another cast member of that show appears within my field of vision. At least in the semi-western setting of District 12 there were no saloons for her to work out of. Even Swearengen is having trouble wrapping his mind around this one. Speaking of District 12, the set design for the movies are very well-done with respect that it distinguishes the world that Katniss knows to the world of the Capital. Whereas the color scheme and setting for District 12 is as drab and muted as one can expect an old-timey mining community to be, the city strikes an odd balance of old and austere with new and flamboyant. There are very few exterior shots of the Capital, and those that we do see lend itself to some blatant Roman architecture and motifs that may as well say, "Why yes, we are in fact ripping off the Roman gladiator games! Isn't that obvious?!" considering they feature arches and red banners emblazoned with golden eagles. Most of the Capital locations are interiors and are designed to look quite modern. What is truly jarring yet faithful to the books is how strange and alien the people look with their multicolored dyed skin, wild flamboyant hairstyles, and just bizarre fashion sense. It's almost as if someone took an episode of Doug and smashed it into a volume of I, Claudius. 5 / 8
6 When the games finally do begin, as the old Roman adage goes (although I doubt the Romans ever said that), the camera becomes a jarring documentary-style affair in what I imagine was an attempt to make it look as violent as possible without showing actual violence. Whenever someone is hacked with a bladed weapon, the camera shakes frantically in an attempt to cut away from the violence while providing an impact. All this does is give the audience whiplash. It also fails to serve as a buffer from the violence when we later get to see kids dead and covered with gore. 6 / 8
7 One thing I did like about the games scenes was the inclusion of the war room where the Game Masters command everything that happens. Here we get to see exactly how much control they have and helps provide the audience with an idea of just how helpless the contestants are in this game. It is a bit strange to wait for the hour mark before our villains arrive, but they were still enjoyable nonetheless. If there is one thing I could say against the movie, it would be that the film is very much for fans of the novels, or at least for people interested in reading them. I went to see the movie with two of my best friends, and I was the only one who read the books prior to going. Many events and expositions were glanced over or given in such short detail that they missed much of the background to the world, which I provided them with later on. The thing is that many of these little pieces could have been added as a sentence of exposition dialogue. For my final thoughts; The Hunger Games is a faithful and relatively enjoyable adaptation to the book series. There's a deep-seated commentary about perception, propaganda, entertainment and control that will touch with people who are looking for it, but for most fans it will be a fun ride that pleases more often than disappoints. I personally enjoyed the movie, as did my friends from what they told me. Final Score: 4/5 While not the best movie adaptation I have ever seen, it clearly has a lot of heart. This is a movie that is very much for the fans, but there is enough to entertain a mainstay audience. I would recommend reading at least the first book before seeing the movie, if only to get a better 7 / 8
