I saw you say that the other day and was a little surprised. I didn’t think it was as bad as, say, Avatar, but still thought it was written from a lefty persective. Oh well, different strokes and all that. I’m hoping to see the Batman movie this evening.
Well, you have a big, powerful Panem government that totally controls all the people, even forcing kids to kill each other, but some of the people still have a spark of resistance. They wander beyond the wire (i.e., the Berlin Wall), they kill and eat their own food (NRA types), and in the end, Katniss and Peeta would rather eat deadly berries than play “the man’s” game. Katniss sacrifices herself for her little sister; she befriends others, contrary to the intent of the games; and in the end she once again gives a symbol of resistance. Maybe because I had just read the book my mind filled in a few blanks, but I think it’s anti-leftie. The authoress is a USAF brat and a Catholic.
