Kids Killing Kids, Justified

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2016)

The film does a great job at making good look good and evil look evil. It seems like today's media really likes to make bad look good. But in The Hunger Games they make it very clear that the actions are wrong. This isn't a film where you're in your seat cheering at the fact that someone has died. Even though in the film there is a group of kids who would be considered "the bad guys" and eventually they are all killed, you're still heartbroken at the fact that they were even put into this situation. In some scenes they show the faces of parents and the effect it's having on them that their kids are being killed, which brings the audience back to the realization that the whole situation is very messed up. It shows that it is very obvious that the only reason these kids are killing each other is solely because of the government, they have no other choice.
