Set in the future in what was North
America now called Panem, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) are the
chosen tributes of District 12 to compete in The Hunger Games, the
reason for the games is to remind the people from the twelve
districts that the rebellion that they once tried was a huge failure
and to also show them that the Capitol are in charge and another
rebellion will be pointless because the rebels will lose. The Hunger Games consist of 24 contestants
fighting to the death and the games only end when there is a lone
victor.
The way the film was filmed makes
the audience feel Katniss’ feelings such as in the scene where
Katniss gets stung by the tracker jackers, she then starts hallucinating and the audience see
what Katniss is seeing, also Jenifer’s acting was very good she was
believable and overall a very good choice for Katniss, the action
scenes were very good to keep the audience hooked and they were very
well shot as well, the film also stayed very true to the book making
only a few minor changes.
