thx...I haven’t seen the movie yet (and I refuse to pay a ridiculous price for it ... matinee here I come), but I’m looking forward to it.
My son’s girlfriend lent me the books (after she had her Mom - a gradeschool teacher - read them). The books are young-adult - not recommended for kids younger than 13.
I’m surprised Hollywood stayed true (mostly) to the story.
It IS about overwhelming government power and an annual reminder that they control everyone. One person (Katniss) steps up to protect her younger sister by offering to substitute her in the games. Katniss has been breaking the “law” for years by hunting to keep her family fed.
In short - it’s about us.
thx...
