Each year two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal retribution for a past rebellion, the televised games are broadcast throughout Panem. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors while the citizens of Panem are required to watch.

When year-old Katniss' young sister, Prim, is selected as District 12's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, are pitted against bigger, stronger representatives, some of whom have trained for this their whole lives. The World Will Be Watching. Action Adventure Sci-Fi Thriller. Rated PG for intense violent thematic material and disturbing images - all involving teens.

Did you know Edit. Trivia There was a swear jar on the set. Co-writer and director Gary Ross said that half of it was contributed by Jennifer Lawrence. Goofs After Katniss volunteers for Prim, it shows the crowd putting three fingers over their lips and kissing it as a sign of respect. You can clearly see a man in the crowd wearing black with a camera. This is often mistaken as a goof but remember that the 'Reaping' is being televised across Panem.

Quotes Caesar Flickerman : So, Peeta, tell me, is there a special girl back home? Crazy credits The film opens with a worded passage about the history of the Hunger Games. In the last section, all of the text fades away except for the film's title. Alternate versions A rough cut of the film was submitted to the BBFC in the UK for an advisory screening, a process used by filmmakers to see how likely a film will obtain a certain rating. Four scenes were changes, removing bloody violence, threat and a scene of injury.

These included the use of alternate footage and the digital removal of blood. Blood splashes were digitally removed from both impacts to bodies and blood on blades of weapons, achieved through the darkening of certain shots and by digitally erasing blood from the image.

Connections Featured in Side by Side User reviews 2. Top review. Silent Thrills. The Hunger Games is ought to be the next big thing like Harry Potter, except it already started in a darker and more serious tone than any other young adult fantasy book films. The film did a good job executing its grit and thrills.

Decent directing and amazing performances. The filmmakers did a fantastic job bringing Suzanne Collins' book to life. It's not the usual kind of blockbuster that focuses to its loudness.

It's a film with moving drama and has its suspense. It's pretty easy to understand everything about this story and its world. We get to know most of it and the entire film is intriguing and undeniably entertaining.

My oldest have read the books and said she loved them all. Both my kids loved the books and the movie. I will have to make sure and tell them about this site. Thanks for sharing!
