It is violent, but I don’t think it is any worse than what you might see on a T.V. show. However, there was a boy sitting next to us that was 9 or 10 and my wife exclaimed that he was too young. After the death of a special character he and his death left. Although the death was not too graphic or violent, combined with good character development it left me with a tear in my eye.
Right, the po' folks send their kids to the meatgrinder while the chickenhawks get fatter. The Iraq war, er, I mean the hunger games, are just entertainment for the wealthy.
There’s also an economic-oppression angle: Poor citizens can barter for food and other necessities by increasing the number of times their names go into the pool for the lottery. Thus, the rich are sheltered, and the poor are disproportionately at risk.
Ah, of course, an "economic oppression" angle!
And I notice that Woody Harrelson and Lenny Kravitz are listed as producers. Who here thinks these guys would put their names on something with a real conservative message?
I can see this thing from a mile away. It is indeed leftist agitprop. Conservatives who see a conservative message in this film are being punked just like the ones who thought Avatar was about respecting property rights.
I hate violent movies so I doubt I’ll see this one.
