Most mainstream media in North America gave positive reviews to "The Hunger Games".
Among them, 43 media gave a comprehensive score of 71 points.
The New York Daily News gave it 100 points, and Entertainment Weekly and Box Office Magazine both gave it more than 90 points. They all believed that whether it was based on the standards of action movies, "fables" or movies, "The Hunger Games" was the best Hollywood science fiction action movie after "The Matrix".
The Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Times, Empire, TotalFilm and other media gave the film more than 80 points.
The Los Angeles Times believes that to successfully film Martin Meyers' novel, the key is to find the right actor to play the heroine, and Jennifer Lawrence obviously played this role very successfully.
The Chicago Sun-Times, Village Voice, Hollywood Reporter and other media gave it more than 70 points. The Hollywood Reporter also praised Jennifer Lawrence, and at the same time believed that director Gary Ross's treatment was a bit too catering to the tastes of readers of the original novel.
Variety gave it 60 points, saying that the film had enough highlights, but also had many shortcomings.
Time and Miami Herald both gave it 50 points, with the former believing that the director failed to capture the essence of the novel, and the latter believing that the film was too safe.
The Wall Street Journal gave the lowest score of 30 points, but in addition to criticizing the film for being poorly shot, it still affirmed Jennifer Lawrence's outstanding acting skills.
Jennifer Lawrence, the young actress who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for Winter's Bone, once again proved her acting skills.
The Hunger Games was so popular that even the White House wanted to take advantage of the popularity.
In a speech at a White House dinner, President Obama used The Hunger Games as a weapon to mock his political opponents.
He said that the Republican primary was like the plot of the movie The Hunger Games, where a group of people killed each other to please the financial tycoons until only one person was left.
What's more interesting is that.
After the movie was released worldwide.
A protest against the military broke out in Bangkok, Thailand. The protesters imitated the plot of "The Hunger Games" and raised three fingers to express their dissatisfaction with the military coup.
With the awakening of feminism, female movies and female-led movies are becoming more and more popular, and a theme of female movies, "chick movies", has been popular since before the awakening of feminism.
And "The Hunger Games" takes into account both "female-led" and "chick movies". A youth version of the "female Robin Hood" character, a character who can fight, kill, take on leadership responsibilities, and can be pure and lovely in love, is simply loved by women from 13 to 43 years old.
Of course, "The Hunger Games" is not perfect.
It still hasn't gotten rid of the habit of teenage novels loving triangles.
On one side is the ambiguous relationship developed from comrades-in-arms.On one side is the love, and on the other side is the childhood sweetheart, tall and mighty "spare tire".
Our heroine always has to hesitate between the two men, and face the ultimate dilemma of "which one should I choose between the two men".
However, this is still a plus point for those female audiences.
Why, only you men are allowed to "choose one more", we women also have to!
…………
It's mid-November.
When "The Hunger Games" was released, it finally handed in an excellent report card of 412 million US dollars in North American box office and 713 million US dollars in global box office.
At the same time, some major events happened in the United States during this period.
In September, the US embassy in Libya was attacked, killing 4 Americans including the ambassador to Libya.
The US government initially believed that the incident was caused by "demonstrations", but it was later proved to be a terrorist attack.
This incident triggered a strong chain reaction in the political arena. The US Ambassador to the United Nations, Rice, who was originally the most likely to succeed Hillary, was forced to give up the bid for Secretary of State because of her "misspoken" on this matter. In the end, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry, was nominated.
Because Rice is regarded as a "hardliner" and Kerry is regarded as a "moderate", the above incident may indirectly affect the choice of American diplomatic leaders and even diplomatic routes.
At the end of October, the eastern part of the United States was hit by Hurricane Sandy. At least 125 people died, hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless, millions of homes were without electricity, and economic losses exceeded 60 billion US dollars.
"Sandy" became the second most serious hurricane in American history in terms of human and property losses.
Unlike the worst Hurricane Katrina in history in 2005, which caused Bush's popularity to plummet, Hurricane Sandy unexpectedly became a "political bonus" for Obama, who was effective in disaster relief. Not only did he receive public support from the independent mayor of New York for his re-election, but he also received public praise from the Republican heavyweight New Jersey governor.
In mid-October, CIA Director David Petraeus resigned due to an extramarital affair with his biographer, making him the shortest-lived director in the history of the CIA.
Petraeus had commanded the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and was once considered a candidate for the presidency, but his promising future was ruined by a woman who made him a fool.
In the meantime, there are also beauty and power struggles, the "cold war" between the CIA and the FBI, modern espionage and counterintelligence methods, and even the highest commander of the US military in Afghanistan, Allen, was involved, which is no less than a Hollywood spy war blockbuster.
In November, the divorce case of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes dominated the headlines of major media.
In 2006, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes took their newborn daughter Suri Cruise to the cover of the October issue, which sold 713,776 copies and is still the second best-selling Vanity Fair. (The first is Jennifer Aniston's September 2005 cover.)
Little Suri was loved since she was born.
Tom Cruise takes her with him wherever he goes, she is definitely a daughterSlave.
Suri's wardrobe is also called ABC, because it is filled with Armani, BURBERRY and Christian.Louboutin brands.
Even Western media called her Tom Cruise's "heart treasure" when reporting on Suri.
But such love will also disappear one day.
In 2012, that is, in October this year, Katie suddenly filed for divorce in court. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
In less than a month, the couple divorced in a flash.
After the divorce, Tom Cruise quickly cut off contact with the mother and daughter.
Katie Holmes was originally the concubine chosen by the "Scientology" for Tom Cruise.
But the reason why Katie Holmes asked for a divorce was also because of Scientology.
Because according to the rules of the religion, children need to undergo polygraph-like examinations when they are 6 years old, and they will be monitored and controlled in their daily lives.
In addition, it stipulates that when believers are sick, they cannot take medication and must rely on "soul therapy". When little Suri had a fever (okay, ok), Tom Cruise insisted on not going to the hospital and using "soul therapy".
Finally, Katie couldn't stand it anymore. In order to let her daughter have a healthy and happy childhood, she decisively chose to divorce and quickly quit the church.
It turned out that Katie was right. Although little Suri was very sad when she just realized that her parents were divorced, she leaned tightly in her mother's arms and buried her head every time she went out.
As soon as she found the camera, she hid herself.
But without the surveillance and interference of the cult, it means that little Suri can have a childhood like other children.
She can make friends; cultivate interests and hobbies, such as gymnastics; and slowly stop avoiding the camera with her mother's company, and start to grow up like a normal child.
And Tom Cruise cut off contact with his daughter because of the constraints of church rules. Even on his daughter's birthday, he did not show up.
(PS: By the way, little Suri, who inherited the excellent genes of her parents, grew up to be a great beauty.)
(Brothers, please protect me, give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards, thank you.).
