It is the first installment in The Hunger Games film series.

That said, the movie is slick and flashy, and I'm sure the rest of the films will continue to attract a lot of attention. Tödliche Spiele (9783789121272) by Collins, Suzanne and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. The Hunger Games is a 2012 American dystopian action film directed by Gary Ross, who co-wrote the screenplay with Suzanne Collins and Billy Ray, based on the 2008 novel of the same name by Collins. Nobody seems to be too torn up that they are killing other children and young adults.

Violence is rampant throughout the movie but it's softened by soft focus and overlaid by orchestral music suggesting that while yes this is a lot of violence for a PG-13, nobody involved with this motion picture condones it, and anyway isn't it nice that we cut away right before a young boy's neck is snapped? The film's heroine, by the way, who is fighting for survival, makes her first kill in the film and shows no remorse, as I imagine a young woman in her situation, I, or almost anyone on the planet who is not a sociopath would. Denn von den 24 Kandidaten darf nur ein Einziger. Sie meldet sich an Prims Stelle für die alljährlich stattfindenden Spiele von Panem in dem sicheren Wissen, damit ihr eigenes Todesurteil unterschrieben zu haben. All the scenes in the film look very anodyne and clear even dirty people, dirty rooms, dirty floors look like something clean trying to look dirty. Als das Los auf ihre kleine Schwester Prim fällt, zögert Katniss keinen Moment. Meanwhile, the film features an up-and-coming starlet as the heroine (Jennifer Lawrence), and she's becoming a fixture of Hollywood entertainment in her own right. Seems to be about the exploitation of young people for public entertainment.
