In the fictional novel The Hunger Games, selected teenagers are forced to fight for their lives in an arena when an entire nation watches on. Leaders from the Capitol who are in power use this tactic to dehumanized the people from the other districts.

In The Hunger Games, the leaders from the Capitol showed dehumanization on a grand scale by assigning very little value to human life to the citizens of Panem. The people in power take advantage of the victim this concept continues to be document in literature and the media.

There lives vary drastically based on where they are born. Someone born in the Capitol has a completely different life than someone born in district 12.

They live in poverty and struggle to survive.

This in-depth film analysis will identify and deliberate the heterogeneous elements of film and how they are utilised to develop and elaborate empathy for Katniss Everdeen, the main protagonist in Gary Ross’s critically acclaimed film The Hunger Games (2012).

Okay so over the weekend I saw a total of two wonderful movies, one in the theater (Mockingjay pt.2 ), and two at home (6 Years, (500) Days of Summer). All three where so good that I decided to write about them.

Mockingjay begins with Katniss being informed that District 12 has been destroyed by the Capitol and that she is currently in District 13. The district that was rumored to have been destroyed.

This new nation, Panem, is viewed as a utopia by residents of the Capitol, but it is instead seen as a harsh war zone by many of the Capitol’s twelve outlying districts. Years ago, the districts attempted a rebellion against the Capitol, but unfortunately failed, resulting in many deaths and extreme penalties. As punishment for this war, the Capitol requires one male and one female tribute from each district to participate in the Hunger Games, an annual event that requires the twenty-four tributes to fight to the death until one tribute remains and is crowned the

The film The Hunger Games, released in 2012 and based off the first book of a literary trilogy, has become a source of entertainment and intrigue among many Americans. Featuring a futuristic and dystopian United States, it has captured the imagination for some and kindled a intense obsession for others.

The female chorus appeared at first to be matched, but upon more focus, I realized that they all had the same “look” of black outfits that were indeed similar, but each of them had a different twist on the outfit she was wearing. The furies had a textured piece of black fabric that was a part of each one’s costume. Many of the furies wore this fabric as a shred in different parts of the costume to add texture and detail to the look. One however, had the fabric positioned as a sash across her body. I found that the differences of the furies’ costumes added to each as a part of their own character rather than a group. However, the similarities of the costumes made them fit in well with each other on stage.
