Hunger Games.

While the theme is warped in it's concept, I pray Humanity never comes to that, it was good movie.

I know how you feel. I watched it at the midnight showing with my teens. I found myself praying all the way through it for our country to get the picture before it was too late.

I want to watch this film desperately, I have heard so much about this film and i have heard many praises about Jennifer Lawrence.

Went and saw it for the 2nd time at the dollar theatre.  I've been reading the book to my daughters, and so seeing the film again at the end was good for comparison.

Turns out there were some things I just didn't get the first time I saw it.  Mostly those weird flashbacks to the boy throwing bread to the pigs.

It has already done that. This is a furistic thing that is a through back to the Roman coliseums where the people entertained themselves by watching people kill each other and then the winner can say I won and with out any remorse for the dead. Do we not still do it. We watch this kind of thing everyday.  Even So come Lord Jesus

McLees: you got it.

Even the name of the fictional country is taken from Rome.  Panem" is latin for bread, and the book makes reference to the phrase "panem et circenses" - bread and circuses - which is a fair summation of the plot.

Connecting the dots between historical Rome and its excesses, and the reality TV craze was a brilliant move, I must say.
