Last week I went to the movies with a few other friends. It was the initial presentation of the first Tributes of Panem films.
The 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen lives with her mother and little sister Primrose in district 12. When Prim was chosen to take part at the 74th hunger games, Katniss volunteered to take place instead of her. Together with Peeta Mellark she comes into a training camp to get ready for the fight in an arena against 22 other tributes. Their mentor Haymitch, who has won the games a few years ago, tells them, to play a couple in love, while the camera is filming. At the beginning of the hunger games Peeta and Katniss loose sight of each other and she finds him badly injured later. Together they fight against the rest of the tributes until only the are left. Because they do not want to kill each other they plan to stay alive with a simple trick: They both want to eat poisonous berries. In that case, the capitol would not have a winner of the hunger games. The games maker Seneca Crane feels compelled to have two winners, otherwise they could not show any winner. Later Katniss has to learn, that president Snow was not very enthusiastic about Katniss’ idea to commit suicide, and so the game maker has to be killed.
I think that this is a great film to watch, especially for those, who love action and drama films. Jennifer Lawrence ( Katniss ) is a pretty and very talented actress and the film would not have become so awesome without her.
