I never got much into this book series until about a few months ago when my sister's fiancé shared more about it with me. As time went on I got more and more aware about how huge this film was actually becoming. I then bought the first book and immediately hooked into its incredible storyline. Once I finish the book, I went to the midnight opening of the film with my friend. From books I've read, and film adaptations since I've seen, The Hunger Games was by far one of the most loyal adaptations of a book I've ever seen so far. Director Gary Ross really captured the tone of the book and he knew exactly what the fan base readers were waiting for. It is one thing to be "focused and into" a movie, but it is another thing to be mesmerized by one. And that is just what I was with this film. from the brilliant casting, to the notes of the soundtrack,
The Hunger Games is about a post-apocalyptic North America that's divided into 12 districts and then the Capitol (government). The back story is that 74 years earlier, 13 districts rebelled against the Capitol in a war, but failed and lost District 13. As "payback," each district must give up two randomly drawn individuals: one male, one female, and must fight to the death in a massive televised event that they call the hunger games.
Jennifer Lawrence does a phenomenal portrayal as Katniss Everdeen, right down to the T. As were the other actors. It was actually Lawrence's performance that brought me back to watch it a second time. And the film was just as amazing as it was the first time. Words cannot describe the incredible work behind the film. You must witness it for yourself!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
