Review:

A 16 year old trying to survive in a deadly competition, televised for the entertainment of spectators superfluous.

Set in a future time, after a terrible war because of the rebellion of several districts, the government of President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland) has subjected the population by dividing it into 12 districts, with razor wire and no contact between the twogroup. True concentration camps where people live in extreme poverty and, as punishment while preventing insurrections, the totalitarian government has created "The Hunger Games", in which each district must send a woman and a man between 12 and 18 years, randomly selected to compete in a battle to the death of only one will live. The competitions are televised entertainment for both districts to thecapital's rich and insensitive, the organizer is Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley).

A selection of participants is called "The Harvest" and the elect are called "Tribute". When the little Prim Everdeen (Willow Shields) in its first year of membership is selected by the District 12, Katniss sister of 16 years (Jennifer Lawrence), is offered as a volunteer in place. The man who is selected by the samedistrict is Peeta Mellark (JoshHutcherson). Katniss is sent to the capital, but before goodbye to his mother (Paula Malcomson) and his love interest Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth).

As part of preparations for the competition, organizers advise people assigned to the warriors. Katniss and Peeta are dealt with by Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), winner of a previous edition of the games andthe stylist Cinna (Lenny Kravitz).

The film, about two hours and a half, has an excellent manufacturing, engages the viewer and despite the cruelty of the issue is not abused violent images. Although not original content is topical, incorporating variants are creative and, above all, provide interesting elements for reflection about the perversion of the masses by presenting performancesdegrading and violent. The alienation of the audience reminds us the "bread and circuses" for the decline of the Roman Empire and is summarized in the phrase simple but acute Gale Hawthorne, commenting on the games: "If people did not see them, would not" . Another aspect worth commenting on is the manipulation and control of the population, synthesized in the counsel of President Coriolanus Snow toSeneca Crane, the organizer of the games, in the sense that it hopes ofrezcademasiadas people because they can get out of control and points out: "Hope is stronger than fear."
