THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. ❤

I love the way the hunger games shows the cruelty in eveyone and how easy it is to other and dehumanize eachother, but at the same time how the human race has rebellion embedded in its soul, compliance and rebellion. How important and dangerous human relationships can be. Class issues, police brutality, how children are used by governments etc

5:12 and Ukraine

Honestly i feel the argument about having children very much. At the ripe age of 27 i do have the urge to build a family. But just looking at the world around us makes me not want to. In one of the "better" countries its still too scary, inhumane and the climate chages are just too real. And all everyone is doing is pointing fingers and telling them to fix it while everyone should try to. And just because others aren't doing shit doesn't mean that we also dont do shit. It just makes everything so frustrating. And the housing crisis, money crisis and so many countries where you cant afford to live just makes me so depressed. But especially the climate one is big for me. We're looking at extreme change as early as 2050 and that's only 25 years away. It's just all fucked 😫

donald sutherland is underrated

Bread Boy truly is the United Nation's of Green Flags

3:03 crazy how they casually waste food in the capital while people in the other districts were starving

the reason why I only watched every movie once and never will watch them again is because katniss is litarly screaming every second of the movies and it is so annoying like stop screaming OMG

Cato and the careers aren't evil in any way, I always felt bad for them really, they have been heavily propagandized into thinking what they are doing is an honor. Since they come from a more comfortable district (that wins almost every year) they don't see the twisted cruelty that the games actually are.

I went to the same school overseas as Susanne Collins did, just years after her 😂

8:25 I’m not sure if you’ve read the books, so spoilers ahead. If you like the movies you’ll love the books. . . . Another reason why Haymitch is the way he is, is because he was punished by Snow for his win in the Quarter Quell. Like all the tributes, Snow punishes the victors despite the lavish lifestyle and celebrity status that comes with it. All of Haymitch’s loved ones were murdered as a result of his exploitation of the arena during his Games. He is completely alone on top of watching all of these children die and he is forced to relive the games every single year.

@18:07, I think President Snow was referencing LUCY GRAY when he said "if a girl from District 12 can defy the Captiol and walk away unharmed"...

dark speculative future? all i can see is our reality represented in a book. Its already real. We are the Capitol and send people work in unhumane conditions

🎉😊😊

Can we all agree that the hunger games themselves undermine the regime? They are the literal face of oppression, the perfect reason to rise up. When you make people watch their kids kill each other in the cruelest humiliation ritual, rebellion is to be expected. No sound government would ever have implemented the games in the first place

At least the world of hunger games had clearer lines between good, evil and grey areas. In the real world we don’t have that luxury and almost everything is starting to look either grey or evil. At least they aren’t pretending to care for their children while also allowing their genocide like we are.

Thank you for talking about Palestine

Such a good video

i love this but i wish you had spoken more about the books than the movies, because while they are a good adaption they miss a lot that's so interesting and vital in the story.

When you realize we’re living in a dystopia

I think everyone needs to watch The Hunger Games ALONG WITH The Handmaid's Tale. While I absolutely love what THG does, both the later movies and later books glamorize "revolution." It's really only the prologue of the last book that explains hard enough what it all meant. I think The Handmaid's Tale better illustrates the day-to-day of an oppressive government, attempting to topple that government, and the retaliation and lingering impacts that ensue.

The Hunger Games 2012 is truly the most beautiful film ever... and the BTS bonus material is all just as moving

amazing video, keep up the good work

I know some people say that the Capital was too evil and that the Hunger Games would never really happen but they forget about the Coliseum in Rome. It was literally the Hunger Games but much, much worse.

One thing I was disturbed by that they acted like death of children was normal and people are excited for the killing

His grippers 😂😂

This is a great analysis of THG series. I agree with you, that it is great at depicting the cruelty of war, the dictatorship and the total impact, that it has on people. Well, one thing, on which I disagree with you, is the comparison between THG and TMR, because The Maze Runner tries to depict different aspects of dystopy. It touches the topics of global warming, spread of deseases and trials used for searching for the cure, that are made on children. Therefore, at least as I see it, The Maze Runner can't be compared with The Hunger Games as both are approching different topics.

The best ya novels ever. Thankfully the movies were great too

The games it's not funny

<3

One subtle theme in Hunger Games was the power of atrocity. The Hunger Games served to unite the Capitol district and get the citizens of the Capitol invested. This also served to get the citizens of District 1 and 2 and the other career districts invested in Panem unity. Most of the investment in atrocities was through sponsorship of one of the tributes, a vicarious degree of participation is atrocities. There is never enough power to force people to give their all--when people do only what they're forced to do, empires fall. "Doing nothing" is the nuclear option of a labor strike. "Doing nothing" undermined East Germany to the point of collapse. Participation in atrocities got Capitol District citizens to willingly and actively support the rulers of Panem. "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" drove this home to me--vicarious participation in the atrocities of war has a long and successful history. In "1984" the Two Minutes Hate was one of many vicarious participation atrocities that Big Brother used to control Oceania. In the Hunger Games, the fact that other districts were killing off YOUR district's children also served to make enemies of those districts, and it felt good when the other districts' tributes fell. Atrocity--just the medicine ordered by the doctor.

If Katniss hadn't volunteered, there would have been two 12-year old in the arena

You lost me at the 4B BS and P@lestin€

"Though I believe Peeta is the United Nations of green flags.." 😩😭😂😂

Don't think she ever had deep love for Peeta. He in the end understand her. He share her dreams and fears and lost.

This video is so good I didn't realize you weren't insanely popular already as a channel. KZbin algorithm please bless more ppl with this video

I believe you mean, the genius of Battle Royale

I loved the movies and regret reading the books.

It is crazy how some poisoned Berries changed the entire outcome of the country

commenting just for engagement !!!

I love THG because in the end, Katniss went through everything for nothing because her sister dies. And that's just how life is sometimes.

1000th sub enjoy

Finally someone did it

I wanted to quickly give a HUGE shoutout to the creator of this video - it was a well thought & well written essay with (this is the part that is extremely rare to see) the books and page numbers to support her ideas. super impressive!!

well in russia we already have something like that. The poor are sent to war, the rich make money on it and for the rest of the world it's just a show to watch.

Amazing , I hope to write something that makes someone think this much . Keep on thinking , analyzing, we need it now more than ever <3

i genuinely believe suzanne collins is the smartest person alive

It isn’t though. The book was brutally realistic. This is a distorted fantasy lense. Just like all moved based on dystopian fiction they erase brown people and make everyone attractive. Reality is that malnutrition makes you ugly. Poor diet, no food or water makes you hideous. Most poor people are ugly BECAUSE they are poor! So no one in the main cast is brown because why people see brown people in main character placements as too real so they hate it and call it “woke” or “pandering” and none of the people are ugly because of the same reason. The book MIGHT be good, there are a bunch of very unrealistic flaws in the writing. But you only enjoy the movie cause it feeds into the fantasy that in the future white people will still be the center of attention, even if it’s the end of the world. And everyone is hot during the apocalypse
