With the new Hunger games coming out I decided it was time for me to watch the first one and so that is what I did. I liked the movie and thought it was interesting with the whole kill or be killed idea. I would give this film an eight out of ten stars if I had to rate it. The main character was Katniss Everdeen who was played by Jennifer Lawrence. Another movie that she played in was X-men First class as Mystique which is the one that can change who she looks like. The Hunger games is a giant game that happens every year where two people from each district is chosen at random to fight to the death. Katniss’s sister is chosen as the female from her district and since she is tiny and will most likely die she decided to volunteer for her instead. The whole feel to the movie is really sad and depressing. No one wants to fight and no one wants to die but they must do it because they have no choice since the Capital is making them to show off their power. An interesting part of the movie is when she shoots an arrow through an apple that is in a pig’s mouth to show how good she is at shooting. I picked this sense because while watching the movie I noticed lots of close ups that show how nervous she is. All the close ups help to show emotions and what they are feeling. After she shoots the arrow it does a close up on the other people there too to show that they are surprised and I think that doing a close up was a good idea. A style that was present throughout the entire movie was a lot of CGI. It was there but it was hard to notice which means that they did a good job with it. Through out the entire movie I kept thinking how scary it would be if I was chosen to fight to the death and what I would do.

Maxime nice post. I saw the first and the second hunger games, but I liked the first one better. Im not really sure what makes these movies so popular, but you made a good point with the whole "Kill or be Killed" idea. I also remember the scene where she shot the apple in the pigs mouth. I think that was one of the most memorable moments from the film for me, just because it was really unexpected. Another good point you made was the CGI. I didnt really notice it either, and thats pretty cool that they were that successful in pulling it off. Good blog post, very interesting
