For any new Jennifer Lawrence fans: Watch Hunger Games for a film that has all sorts of parallels with the current state of the US with an imperial President and an opulent and decadent Capital. The pros and cons of the film have been debated here on FR previously, but Hunger Games is well worth the time and shows the first hints of a rebellion by a population against a government that rules them rather than serves them.

I liked the hunger games for exactly that reason- my daugfhters may not have noticed, but I made sure we discussed how the big government controlled their lives and sent these kids to their deaths

Do not let you kids see it without bringing up that parallel - it is worth it
