when you say nothing at all
So, I thought that I would post this as soon as I watched it. Which is now.
Along with quite possibly everyone else at this moment, tonight I watched The Hunger Games with a my friend, Leo and his friend. Before this movie, I got told by another friend, KY that it was "average".
My opinion? It was better than I expected. Quite possibly because I didn't have any high expectations or most probably any expectations at all prior to watching it. And, as Leo's friend said: "it was worth it". It definitely was.
And, following up from Aisling's post. I definitely agree after seeing the movie (and yet to read the books, not that I've read or even knew that Battle Royale had any!) that HG is much more layered and has 'more' to it than Battle Royale. You get to know the characters and it is much more than just killing. That there is reasoning behind all of this.
Which, brings me to my next point in that. I don't get it. So. You have a yearly "HG" to remember/stop the war that previously happened more than about 70 decades ago... maybe I need to read the books to fully understand this.
That is my recount of the movie and well, really my thoughts. A basic summary of it. I'm not really a big go-into-the-details-kinda person but I definitely did enjoy it and has also definitely left me with questions and wonder... Oh, and also to restate Aisling's idea. This movie is again definitely much more than the killing, there is love, a little comedy, drama and definitely a little sprinkling of predictability. There are quite hot guys in the film too! That didn't hurt, even if I did go with two guys and couldn't discuss that aspect not that we particularly discussed the movie in depth after watching it.
But, I think that is enough thoughts and possibly rambling for one night. It's "2 am"/3 am anyway.... should be sleeping!
