Review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games directed by Gary Ross was originally a young adult novel written by American television writer and novelist Suzanne Collins. I found that it was definately a young adult film the reason I think this is because the adults that I know that saw it said that they found it silly and hard to follow, but my friends and I found that we loved it. The movie has suspence, romance and action. I felt it catered to fit everyones taste. I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.

For those of you that don't know what the Hunger Games are or havn't seen it yet, the base of the story is that its all starts with the 13 Districts and the main Capital who controls all the poorer Districts. When District 13 starts to cause a rebellion they are blown up and killed as a warning to any other Districts that think about joining in, and as a conquense to the other Districts the Capital starts The Hunger Games where one boy and girl between the ages of 12-18 get chosen to be tribute from each of the 12 Districts to fight till the death, this happens each year. The main focus of this movie is on 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers to be tribute in the Hunger Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose making her the first volunteer from her district. The male lead and participant  also selected from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a baker's son who Katniss knows from school, and who once gave her bread when her family was starving. These two go into a world unlike there own and are treated like royalty and fed like kings because going into the games they are the underdogs. The story tells their journey before and throughout the games, the friends they make, the love they find, the pain they feel and the strength they realise they have.

I strongly recommend that you watch this movie for yourself as it is a passionate movie that causes mixed emotions right throughout the whole story. I loved it and can't wait for the sequal to come out because I'm sure it will also be a movie to watch. The acting is incredible and isn't one of those movies that are filled with over actors, which is sometimes a real worry especially when new actors no one has heard of are introduced in this thrilling movie. I personally think that it is the new twilight and Jennifer Lawrence who plays Katniss Everdeen will be big as she is extremely talented and I dont think that they could have picked a better actress for the role.

summer icons : Jandals

Jandals I take you off my feet and
watch as you slowly become engulfed in sand
Jandals you have been so good to me
protecting my feet from the harsh rocks that cover the ground
Now I see that you have served me well but are battered and brusied
So its time to be recycled and used...
new jandals you will be so good to me
but you will never replace the jandels that held my feet! :)

Life was great for Amy Neverlands she was rich and famous and one of the most well known pop stars in the world. She was so ecstatic when she was asked to play a charity game of tennis with the well known Roger Federer. All of the ticket money from the match was going to charity and at the end the two tennis rackets used by Roger and Amy were going to be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the charity of their choice.

As time moved towards the match, Amy crossed each day off the calendar and polished her cherished racket cleaning it and making it shine. Her theory was that the better her racket looked the more she would be able to get for it and she wanted to raise as much money as she could for the hospital that saved her sisters precious life years ago. When the morning of the match arrived she woke with a smile knowing what the day would bring, she had been practicing and knew she was also there to have some fun.

Amy was finally ready, she sung her way to her sports closet barely able to contain her excitement. Eagerly she opened the door to grab the treasured racket, looking as she did for the bright shine of the rim.

Immediately feeling her stomach drop Amy looked open eyed at the gap staring back at her. She gasped and held her breath, it wasn’t there, but she’d put it back, where could it be. Amy began to hyperventilate a million things going through her mind, what was she going to do? Amy stormed upstairs yelling for Lisa her maid “Where is my racket” she screeched at the top of her lungs. Lisa nervously entered the room mumbling “Miss I’m not sure where your racket is I haven’t seen it.” “Liar” Amy yelled, she knew she wasn’t being fair but she was just so worried, she was due at the court in 3 hours and had no idea where her prized racket was hiding.

Off to one side, Lisa was quietly freaking, she knew that what she had done was going to get her into trouble but selling that racket was the only way she could get the money for her sons bone surgery. Being a maid wasn’t a well paid job even if it was for Amy Neverlands. But was it worth it? The guilt was eating her inside, what came next she couldn’t control “Miss I’m so sorry it’s just my son, he needed surgery, I was running out of options please forgive me, I need this job.” She watched as Amy’s face turned redder and redder as the anger bubbled up, Lisa waited for the bomb to go off. However, Amy replied in a steady voice “Lisa I’m sorry but you can’t expect me to be able to trust you anymore. Now I’m going to go buy a new racket, when I come home I expect you to be gone if you don’t want me to press charges... Goodbye.” Tears filled Lisa’s eyes she understood what she had done was wrong and she knew it was now going to be a consequence she had to live with.
