FILM: Ever since Francis Lawrence came in as director of the second film, “Catching Fire” has “Hunger Games” series consistently been the most interesting and fruitful by the US blockbuster franchises.

After the disappointing first film series has evolved into an intelligent discussion of the media narrative role in modern warfare, and although Lawrence neither are some great action director or stylist movies have consistently been both exciting and looked good.

Faceted

In “mockingjay Part 2″ is set for the final showdown between the cynical President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and rebels under the leadership of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and exiled president Coin (Julianne Moore). Deep thinking is “Hunger Games” movie story of a brave young woman who takes up arms against an oppressive regime, and gradually realize that good and evil are relative sizes, and that it is impossible to get through a war with both life and the moral sovereignty intact.

As the rebels approached Snow regime stronghold has become increasingly less difference between the warring parties’ methods, and the Katniss we meet in the fourth and final film is so disillusioned that neither she nor the public has any clear idea of ​​the ideals she fought for.

The rebels in the “Hunger Games” is desperate guerrilla warriors fighting an authoritarian regime, and while Snow and his apparatus prepared as caricatured in its decadent cynicism, complicated image of the rebel forces has clear parallels to both IRA and IS.

Intelligent

In modern blockbuster films protagonist is often designated to play the role of protagonist before she at taken time to make a single decision, and “Hunger Games” movie examines this phenomenon by operating with two pieces Katniss Everdeen.

For beside the actionable and courageous, but also insecure and vulnerable young woman who is the audience’s eyes and ears, meetings, media personality Katniss controlled by rebel propagandapparat.

During the four films transforms Katniss to a puppet being pulled hither and thither by forces with conflicting agendas, and it is not until she learns to understand their own role as a unifying – but not necessarily powerful – figure that she manages to take control of their own destiny. Katniss is no savior, but she plays the role better than anyone else.

Complex

“mockingjay Part 2″ is the weakest of the three “Hunger Games” movie Lawrence has directed. It is at least twenty minutes too long and lacks memorable sequences in line with those found in “Catching Fire” and “mockingjay 1″.

If you have not followed from the beginning is the almost impenetrable, and the happy end (spoiler) emerges as attached.

But despite the fact that they are almost exclusively made up of clichés and cheap tricks, poses Lawrence ‘three “Hunger Games” movies a genuinely interesting science fiction tale. Nowadays it is extremely rare American blockbusters presents such a level of moral complexity, and what comes blockbusterføljetonger based on ungdomsromaner and with budgets in the hundreds of millions, it is almost unheard of.
