The article interested me as I am a fan of Hunger Games
series.
The second Hunger Games film sees a newly-minted Oscar winner, Jennifer Lawrence, starring for a new director, Francis Lawrence (no relation) in what promises to be a bigger, badder story of political unrest and life-threatening televised competition. This week the first teaser trailer debuted online, and gave us a little more of an idea of what we’re in for. Here’s what to take from this teaser, in largely spoiler-free form (unless you skipped the first movie).
Last we saw of her, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) had just won the 74th Hunger Games and, by dint of threatening mutual suicide if the organisers didn’t relent, managed to save her fellow District 12 Tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) for good measure. But her defiance has made her a target for the totalitarian authorities of the Capitol at the same time it made her a heroine to the people, and this teaser very much emphasises that she’s up against the wall as a result. Even her victory tour threatens to become a blood bath - which is not something Team GB ever had to deal with.
We’re wildly encouraged by this first teaser for the film. It looks like (F.) Lawrence is ready to emphasise the wider political struggle around Katniss’ own struggle to survive another Games – something that wasn’t front-and-centre until very late in the book – and we’re optimistic that that will give this film its own feel. It also looks like J. Lawrence has slipped fully back into Katniss’ skin, struggling to use her newfound prominence to protect those around her while aware that it could make them all targets. If it all goes right, this will be a tough watch at times, but one with a moral compass as firm as Katniss’ own and a lot of action as she struggles for freedom.
