Worth watching but plot incompatible to the actual intention

Rating: 4/10 (25 September 2013)

First of all the movie is quite brilliant made. Full of nice shots and angles. And nobody should complain about the actors expressions. But what really bothers me is a little conflict inside the movie. It is located where conflicts are allowed to be. It is direct interpretation. So to clear it up: What Katniss and her "first" friend are talking about is how bad these "Hunger Games" are. Forcing a nation to watch people fighting for their lives. It is presented similar to a gigantic version of the roman ancient Colosseum. So deeply wrong. Against every human right. Watching them fighting against each other. Building up groups, hunting the opposing ones down like animals. The audience immediately sympathizes with the protagonist, who only became part of the games to rescue her little sister. Everyone agrees in a minute that these games should not be supported. These games are bad. No-one of the (in film) audience should watch these bestiality games out of free will. But than again, it is exactly what the (cinema/tv) audience is likely to see most of the time. The kids fighting and killing. Hearing them yell and shout. Seeing them die. So my question is: how is this compatible? One the one hand saying it (the game) is bad and on the other hand showing the very same thing. Minute by minute that passes. Unbelievable and impossible to support or watch for the "non-brain-damaged-or- limited-view-teenage-girly-girl". If you still want to buy an copy of this, I highly recommend buying the blu-ray version in order to enjoy the good things, which might only be the first introduced special effects and cuts. Probably the soundtrack could called good, as well.
