Movie Review:
The Hunger Games part 1 and 2
I had the opportunity to watch the Hunger Games. This was very good movie. The writer has a very keen perception and vision into the future in my opinion. The plot casts society into a very deprived, subjugated, impoverished and indigent state. The people are divided into sections, and each section gets a person to represent their section in a SICK INTERPRETATION OF THE OLYMPICS, however there is no gold, silver, or bronze medal. You either live or die, and bring some form of acknowledgement to your section.
The sad part about all of this is that the games are life and death reality show entertainment for the ruling rich of society. This would be equivalent to gladiators in Rome, performing for the King.
The scary part about all of this is that all the citizens in their sections are controlled by militarized police soldiers that keep them in check with the threat of death. The mere thought of opposition or resurrection is squashed with authoritarian might. The people are jobless and are only their for labor and entertainment.
Think about where we are in America. The poor are being gentrified out of cities into subpar living domains like nomads, and unemployment is high. The average working American has lost their utility in the workforce, because they are being replaced by technology, or their jobs are being outsourced overseas. Where does this leave the average American? What will you do to survive and feed your family, as the rich get richer? The only use that you have in their eyes is entertainment in some reality show, sports, comedy, or movie. Welcome to the Hunger Games America.
