it seems to be a teenage “girl-power” book and is going to catch a lot of heck from libtards after they realize what a commentary it is on government control

look for them to start to pan this movie, and that is why

I don’t know how leftist Hollywood let this movie get released with such a simple message favoring individual liberty over government control. And it glorifies hunting too! Unfortunately I expect the establishment to “fix” the message in future installments of the series. But the Hunger Games itself is excellent!

Actually, even your comment is funny. I read interviews with the author soon after the 1st book started being successful. She had no political bent at all. The idea of the book actually began revisionisning of the Roman empire and the outlying vassal states that Rome used as slave labor, even reaping slaves from those states to fight to the death in Roman arena's for Roman audiences, but in a post apocalyptic setting. Everything from the arena to the tessarae is lifted directly from history. I don't think the author gave the cause of the apocalypse, the rebellion of the outlying districts or the politics of either much thought.
