"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I'd been hearing about THE HUNGER GAMES for quite some time at home.
From everything I heard, it was essentially a BATTLE ROYALE type situation of kids chosen to fight to the last boy or girl, but it was in a future that kept being described from the perspective of this main character of Katniss. When my OT described the novel she reiterated that what drove her to love the book was the perspective of living, surviving and dying in this future.

The story of a girl as she tries to survive a competition to the death was positively engrossing; not only because of the high stakes involved but also because of the way Collins’ was able to discuss adult themes like corruption of power, the fascination with reality television and the effects of war to such a young audience. There was no sugar coating the subject and I couldn’t wait to see how this would all be translated to the big screen. With a script co-written by the author and a director, Gary Ross, committed to remaining true to the source material, I was sure that there was no way they could botch the film. Lucky me I was right.

While I didn’t fully connect with it, the film is by no means a hollow piece of fluff and for that to be said about a big studio young adult franchise picture is high praise just by itself.

I just watched The Hunger Games for the first time (cause I thought it looked quimball, ie; dumb) and it was VERY cool! Especially like Woody Harrelson. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the second installment, and it comes out the 22nd of November this year:

Katniss and Peeta are dethroned from their respective victory riches and are put back into the arena for the most climatic and menacing of the Hunger Games, known as the Quarter Quell.
