The Hunger Games (2012)

The Hunger Games are organised annually by the government to keep the district inline. Each year there is a day called the Reaping when all the names of the children between 11 and 18 years old are put into a bowl and one girl and one boy are pulled to go to the Hunger Games, knowing that their chances of coming home are very low because in the end only one can come out as winner and may the odds be ever in your favour…

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is a 16-year-old girl that lives in District 12, the poorest district. On the day of the reaping, she is chosen to go to the Hunger Games with a boy named Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). During the process of preparing for the Games, they meet the other Tributes and Careers. Once in the game, the goal is to survive. Will they…

After this movie, Jennifer Lawrence became one of my favourite actors. She is so talented and so funny. She portrayed Katniss so well. The expressions were on fire, and the acting was great.

Overall this was a great movie based on a great book. They really brought the book to life. I loved the movie. The intensity was great and each shot was telling a story of it’s own. I really recommend this movie for YA but it might be too brutal for younger folks. Never the less this is a great movie.
