The first shot in The Hunger Games<\/em> is of Stanley Tucci in a ridiculous blue hairdo and a costume left over from Director Tim Burton\u2019s Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, and I wanted to laugh.\u00a0 I wish I had laughed because it would set a better mood for the film than the hype that is accompanying it.\u00a0 While the film will probably make all the money that Lionsgate hopes, as science fiction and action adventure, the film is a disappointment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Jennifer Lawrence, who portrays Katniss, is the best part of The Hunger Games, the first part of a trilogy from writer Suzanne Collins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Aside from the ludicrous costumes, the lack of engagement with social commentary, turning the killing games into pablum, eviscerating much of the drama, and dragging out the story, director Gary Ross doesn\u2019t start with the main character. That would be\u00a0 Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), and consequently, the film\u00a0 spends the next 2 hours and 20 minutes trying to make the audience bond with her.\u00a0 Had he started with her, the audience would have bonded with her right away, and Jennifer Lawrence\u2019s outstanding performance would not have been undercut by the lingering shots of her consternation in the face of adversity.<\/p>\n

While the capital city is suppose to represent the garish and superficial values and mores of a decadent elitist class, the costume and makeup are too absurd and laughable to do justice to the social themes inherent in dystopian science fiction.\u00a0 The costuming and makeup choices exemplify the director\u2019s condescension to the supposed audience.<\/p>\n

Any audience can see the difference between the desaturated poverty of Katniss\u2019 District 12, and presumably all the districts, the natural beauty of the \u201carena\u201d where the games are fought, and the brightly colored riches of the Capitol. But the Burton-esque Alice-in-Wonderland costumes are inappropriately silly and only emphasizes the mishmash of cinematography and art direction.<\/p>\n

In The Hunger Games<\/em>, what should be a commentary on the disparity between the rich elite and the oppressed poor in Panem is refashioned as silliness.\u00a0 While all the citizens of Panem obviously suffer from a fascination with celebrity and while the Capitol residents are drowning in too much media, director\/writer Ross condescendingly demonstrates his belief that the subtly of film will be lost on the teen audience and, therefore, dumbs down the social commentary.<\/p>\n

Once the games begin, Ross is painfully mindful that the greatest potential audience for the film is not able to frequent R rated films and sanitizes the violence of 24 teenagers killing each other.\u00a0 While the teen-on-teen violence might be seen as commentary on the cruelty teens\u00a0 perpetrate on each other, making it look so easy and clean is more disturbing.\u00a0 Furthermore, the drama that should accompany the teen \u201cTributes\u201d being forced to kill in a survival game is undermined when Ross doesn\u2019t let dramas play out to their full potential.<\/p>\n

Like a version of Survivor <\/em>gone wrong, the teenagers form alliances, but these alliances must end in death for all but one of the allies.\u00a0 When Katniss forms an alliance with Rue (Amandla Stenberg), who is the youngest of the Tributes, the tension of their alliance and who will die so the other can live should have been allowed to play out.<\/p>\n

Another unanswered question is why Rue saves the unconscious Katniss when she might just as easily kill her.\u00a0 As soon as Rue is gone, a contrivance allows for two Tributes to share victory, if they are from the same district.\u00a0 So, Katniss teams up with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), the male Tribute from District 12, who has been injured when his allies turned on him.\u00a0 Katniss again has a partner who is not as capable as she is, but this time she doesn\u2019t have to kill him in order to live, which makes for less drama.<\/p>\n

Katniss, the character, could have greatly benefited from a fundamental principle of filmmaking:\u00a0 Start on the character with whom the audience should empathize.\u00a0 Starting with Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci) and Seneca (Wes Bentley) throws the viewer off, and Ross scrambles to redirect the audience to Katniss.\u00a0 Of course, all the audience needs in order to like her is to see Katniss saving her twelve-year-old sister, Prim (Willow Shields), from being a Tribute.\u00a0 Rue befriending Katniss evokes the fate from which Katniss saved Prim.<\/p>\n

So why the misdirection and machinations in Ross\u2019 direction?\u00a0 Does Ross think that his audience won\u2019t like or identify with such a strong female?\u00a0 Does Ross fear that teen boys won\u2019t see the film?\u00a0 If Suzanne Collins’ popular trilogy is any indication, Katniss appeals to teens of both genders. Although there is a contrived \u201cromance\u201d between Katniss and Peeta, it wouldn\u2019t scare off any audience allergic to romantic themes.\u00a0 First, it is unclear whether Peeta declares his love out of true feeling or a desire to hype his story as a Tribute, and second,. Katniss has a boyfriend back home, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), who she trusts, in her presumably permanent absence, to help her mother (Paula Malcomson) and sister Prim survive.<\/p>\n

The movie does have a fabulous cast.\u00a0 Lawrence, who was nominated for an Oscar\u00ae for her role as Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone<\/em>, does a great job with the role of Katniss despite the camera lingering on her every expression to the point of turning her performance into incessantly emoting of sadness, determination, and\/or anxiety.\u00a0 The cast includes Donald Sutherland in a cameo as Panem’s cold-blooded President Snow, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, a drunken advisor; Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, an over-dressed, heavily made-up handler; and Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, Katniss\u2019 personal stylist and confidant.<\/p>\n

Gary Ross\u2019 movie lacks the emotion and substance that would have made it a superior sci fi film.\u00a0 Although\u00a0 President Snow\u2019s final words are the only blatant set up for a sequel, film versions of the rest of Suzanne Collins\u2019 trilogy is in the works. \u00a0May the odds be with Catching Fire, the next installment, and maybe it will be a better film.\u00a0 The Hunger Games, <\/em>a Lionsgate release, runs a protracted 142 minutes and is rated PG-13 for intense violent thematic material and disturbing images – all involving teenagers.\u00a0 The movie is in theaters now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
