Upon watching The Hunger Games it was unclear to me the true
message this move was trying to convey.
Regardless of the overall message there was one scene that not only
struck me but also my fellow friends while watching this movie. Katniss Everdeen,
the main character, and Rue, another competitor, have
become extremely close. They join forces
to survive and try to win the game.
Katniss and Rue devise a plan to blow up the main food supply which
means separating from one another. Upon
achieving their goal, Rue is caught in a trap and Katniss saves her, but immediately
after standing up Rue is hit with an arrow.
Upon Rue's death Katniss
is overcome with grief. She surrounds
Rue with flowers for a burial and raises her hand in solute to District
11. This creates District 11 to revolt against
the government because their people now see that they can stand up against the government
and stop the killing of young people.
Their government has been corrupt.
This changes the whole
mood of the movie as truly is the turning point. After this, the game becomes more intense,
with game changing rules to get rid of Katniss for defying the government.
This shows how one person
can stand up for what they believe and there will always be people who will
fallow. Standing up and defying the odds
is what this scene and movie teaches all its viewers.
This scene was an extremely powerful part of the movie. It enforces Katniss's sensitive personality as well as her strength to succeed and marks the point in the movie when she and the people of the districts begin to revolt against this cruel game.
