I
am very sure that most of you had heard about this movie, and also
had watched this movie. For me, I just watched it last week. However,
for those who had not watch it yet, do not be sad as I will tell the
synopsis of this movie.

The
Hunger Games movie started with the scenery of a poor village
called District 12. In the world, altogether they have 12 districts.
In District 12, a teenage girl called Katniss Everdeen lived with her
mother and sister. On a fateful day, she and her younger sister went
to a ceremony to choose who was going to participate in the Hunger
Games. No one ever wanted to volunteer as it was a very dangerous
game. To win, they have to kill others until only one remains. Each
district has to send 2 person for this game, which means a person
should kill other 23 people to win it. Back to the ceremony, they
were chosen based on a draw. Katniss eventually volunteered when her
sister's name was called. She knew that her sister would not be able
to survive as she was too small. The other unlucky man was Peeta.
From that moment, their life began to change. Before the game, they
were given the training on handling weapons such as knives and
arrows. Katniss was an expert in arrows and bows. As the game began,
Katniss quickly ran away from the people after she managed to get her
weapons. The game was all about survival. They might also die because
of dehydration or venom by some animals besides of being killed. At
last, Peeta and Katniss are the only people survived. However, they
did not want to kill each other. They decided to eat some poison
berries so that no one would become the champion. Their actions
forced the organizers to stop the game and gave the victory to both
of them.
One
of the most significant lesson I learned from this movie is we should
be ready to sacrifice ourselves especially for our family when we
know that they could not make it. Like Katniss, she volunteered to
join the game instead of watching her young sister suffers there.
Moreover, Katniss also did not kill a girl from District 11, named
Rue, although she had the chance to kill her. In contrast, we should
love others, especially younger ones, not kill them. Katniss tried to
protect her but to no avail. At last, she was killed by others. In
addition, I also support her choice to try to kill themselves at the
end of the game so that nobody would won it. This was a very
brilliant idea to show that they were not happy with the game.
In
my opinion, this game should not be realized as it can cause our
brotherhood to be broken. Killing other people is a violent way only
to ensure that we will become a winner of a game. While watching this
movie, I always wonders, why should they create this game as an
annual game that is compulsory for every district? This game can
bring us to war! They should voice out their opinion about the game.
Although this game can attract thousands of people to watch it, most
of them only do it to know about their loved ones in the game, not
just for fun. We should pity the participants as they had to kill
themselves in order to achieve victory.
Lastly,
I think that this movie should not be watched by small children as
they are some violence that may interrupt their minds. I really hope
that this game will not be conducted in the future.
