Okay. So obviously, the media has issues with the fact that The Hunger Games is about teens fighting to the death. I would like to address this issue.
FIRST OF ALL, The Hunger Games is not - not - about teenagers fighting to the death. The books are about the corruption of the US government, and how that corruption could potentially destroy our nation and our humanity. Suzanne Collins [author] used the Games as a way to get through to everybody just how power-hungry leadership can destroy even the strongest nation in the world.
Secondly, what movie doesn't have murder involved? Is it better for an adult to be murdering another adult than it is for a teenager murdering a teenager? Seriously. I am not at all saying it's right, but rather that it's inevitable.
And finally, if you don't want to see the movie, then don't. It doesn't make someone else's parents bad if they allow their kids to see it, and it doesn't make you good for not seeing. It's merely a matter of opinion.
And mine is that people shouldn't judge others based on what movies they watch.
