english,
It has been an ongoing fad in literature and movies to set a dystopian world as the premises for such. Opposite to its counterpart utopia, dystopia is often shown as a post-apocalyptic world, with strict rules and a totalitarian government. This theme in literature and popular culture has been going on since the 18th century, but is most notable in recent years, especially with the publication of the famed trilogy, The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Books tackling the same dystopian theme are slowly being made into movies one-by-one, but The Hunger Games kickstarted them all, and just last November 20, 2014, the second to the last movie in the franchise, Mockingjay Pt. 1, premiered in cinemas nationwide.
In the movie, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) tackles the obstacles thrown at her after escaping the 75th Hunger Games, then she copes with life at District 13 while making the choice on whether or not to be the face of the propaganda.
Mockingjay Pt. 1 shows us that everyone can make a difference. People are not invincible, and the people we thought to be perfect may be harboring similar problems as us. Katniss does not fail in showing us that she is the perfect heroine for this series, that she is strong, independent, brave, and most of all, true to her self.
