Revolution in the USA? (soon, in a town near you)

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2015)

One of the weirdest theories circulating among writer-groups, budding script writers, and different species of crazy people is that this movie is but one of many movies made recently with the aim of psychologically priming and provoking the American people to revolt! "And why would the Powers That Be want the American people to revolt?" One wonders, and the answer is : to give a powerful group of army generals, political hawks, and the elites of the military-industrial complex (aka the usual suspects) a very good pretext to run the nation!! The chaos caused by that rebellion will allow for the disarming of the American people, the repressing of any riots that my be caused in the near future due to a sudden deterioration in the Economy caused by a sharp depreciation in the dollar. It will prepare for a governing system not very different from the one ruling China, which has proved to be very effective in generating money for the elites and preventing dissent!!! In other words, it will be a carefully calculated revolution that captures the hearts and minds of those who yearn for more freedoms, equality and economic prosperity, only to goad them in a trap of fascism and tyranny. A revolution designed to cause such chaos and fear that would make people accept the loss of their freedoms as a fair price for restoring the conditions of safety.
The "Hunger games" novels and movies are thus, according to that crazy theory, part of a major psychological trick played on the American people to encourage them to revolt. Many other novels and movies are involved. The list doesn't only include dystopian thrillers like "Divergent" and "The Maze" but also most innocent animation films like "The Lego Movie"!!!! In my opinion, all this nonsense proves one thing: that Hunger Games have been elevated to the level of a cult novel, and a Cult Movie. The cultural message it contains is very powerful, that one almost wonders if the novels were indeed written by professional psychologists in some smoke-filled chamber of some super-secret Powers That be Think-Tank.
In other words a great series of Novels, and great bunch movies :) My only criticism would be that Pink Floyd is ought to sue for the musical score, part of which (the core theme of the rebellion song) is snatched, quite professional, from Pink Floyd's "Echoes" from their album "Meddle" (Listen top them, one after the other, and judge for yourself, in case you can't read musical sheets) This , however, official makes Pink Floyd's Echo the most plagiarized song ever. Andrew Lloyd Weber has stolen part of it and used it as the opening theme for his famous "Phantom of The Opera" in 1986. And before that the late great satire God, Douglas Adams, based a tale in his novel "The restaurant at the End of the Universe" on the Video of the song Echo, which was included in the Pink Floyd "Live in Pompeii" tour. I will not tell you which part of Douglas Adams book was based on that song, but I will give you a hint : Disaster Area Band. Just watch the Video and read the book and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Having said that, the musical score is, however,a masterpiece.
Ah, and the strangulation scene was rare achievement in acting and movie directing. A pity there is no such thing as "Oscar For Best Strangling" yet.
I gave the movie 9/10. The deducted one is because Donald Sutherland's acting was the taddest bit short of absolute perfection, of which he is capable.
