Mockingjay

The new movie Mockingjay has (the squeal to the Hunger Games and catching Fire) is all anyone has been talking about, as well as I; and there are plenty of articles out there that are surly spicing up it's audience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games:_Mockingjay_%E2%80%93_Part_1). I normally do articles on celebrities themselves, but decided that this was just too great of an opportunity to just pass up. As I'm sure many others have theirs, I have formed many of my own opinions (from reading the books and watching to movies) that have made me crazy to see Mockingjay part 1 as soon as possible.

Suzanne Collins is a genius to display such a situation to contrast with what our society could potentially turn into (centuries from now of course). It probably won't turn out to be equal the way Collins portrays it to, but pretty darn close. Think about it, the society those people live in is a democracy with very VERY low amounts of resources, isn't that where our society is going? And the Hunger Games were created by the government to create fear in the people, to show them that they are not higher nor better, and that they should stand down at any occasion, they are controlling. Isn't that what people are like today in our politics, to give citizens nothing but the options of following the laws they come up with, or else their punished. The rebellions in the movie are for the same reasons we have rebellion (minor ones at that though) today, that we don't agree or like decisions that were made by higher powers. I think that in this sense, The Hunger Games was ingeniously created.

The story line is incredible as well. The idea of the love story may be a little main stream, but the situation that Katniss and Peeta are put in is extraordinary. It is set up in such a way that can't help but make you question their relationship at every moment, and that truly does string you along until the end. It's one of those books/movies that no matter how many times you've read/seem it you ever want it to end, because you want to see what happens next (even though you already know). I being a strong believer in that statement, trust that Mockingjay is going to be just as great as the other movies, and I am beyond excited to see what happens next.
