The Games, though pivotal, are still part of a larger story. The Hunger Games however, is about oppression, fighting back and revolution.
I beg to differ - the film needs to be evaluated on its own merits and its own story.īattle Royale is a single story about merciless, wanton and senseless violence and depravity when the aim was simply to be the last to survive - a kill- fest, where the innovative ways of killing serve to shock and titillate the audience but do little for the plot. An earlier reviewer compared this to the Japanese cult favorite Battle Royale and decided it was almost junk. He tells Katniss that while on tour she better try to make sure that she puts out the flames or else everyone she cares about will be in danger.
With both Katniss and Peeta declared the winners, it is fueling a possible uprising. Twelve months after winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and her partner Peeta Mellark must go on what is known as the Victor's Tour, wherein they visit all the districts, but before leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss defied him a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peeta.
