The text that I wanted to review an analyze would be the first chapter of The Hunger Games film, directed by Gary Ross. This is a science fiction and action film that was meant to display a futuristic and dystopian society to an extent. There are twelve “districts” which can be related to states and once a year, two people are chosen from each district to fight in a game to the death, ending once only one person remains. Throughout the film, there are many instances which signify power, which is often in the hands of the wealthy, as well as injustices against the poor. For example, the wealthy population of individuals live in the nation’s capital of Panem, which holds all of the power over the other districts. When the selection of the Hunger Games start, no one from Panem is selected, since they only view the games as a sort of entertainment. This puts power in the hands of the wealthy, specifically for the people of Panem, since they are using their wealth and status to avoid being put into the games. Power at the hands of the wealthy can also be seen throughout districts. District three is the closest related to Panem, since that district has a background of innovation and tend to hold the wealthier of the populations. Because of this, the people selected for the games in this district tend to get more sponsorships (more help for the games) and these sponsorships tend to hold more value over sponsorships compared to district twelve. District twelve receives essentially received no help since they are a poor and overlooked community, and the help the tributes do receive is generally a placeholder who acts as a sponsor from Panem. Because of this, there is a clear advantage for the wealthier, since they tend to hold more power than the poor communities. The same can be said for injustices between the wealthy and the poor. There is always a feeling of superiority of the wealthy, and they tend to treat the poor as if they aren’t even human. This once again relates back the sponsorships each district receives; the wealthy receive more substantial benefits compared to the poor. By doing this, the author of the book / director of the film wants the audience to relate this to our modern-day society and look at how the rich and the poor act. People who are wealthier tend to feel like they are superior to those who are poor, which can be seen through both the movie and through society.
