What is better than
Jennifer Lawrence playing a strong female character in a powerful movie that is
a almost exactly like the book you ask? Although it seems like nothing, there
is an answer. The only thing better is Jennifer Lawrence playing a strong
female lead in a powerful movie that is almost exactly like the book AND has no
tobacco use. That's right, Catching Fire.
Catching Fire came out November of
2013 and if you haven't seen it yet, you clearly live under a rock. It is the
second instalment in The Huger Games series and was directed by amazing Francis
Lawrence. With the script following the book closely and amazing Hawaiian sets,
the movie was a huge success both commercially and in the hearts of the fans.
The movie begins with Katniss having
to deal with the consequences of the previous games and trying to figure out
where she stood with Peeta and Gale. Boys, though, are the least of her
problems as her action sparked a rebellion in the country of Panam, and now has
a big target on her back from President Snow. As the situation in the country
gets worse, the more pressure there is on her to diffuse the spark. When she is
unable to do so, she along with Peeta and 22 other victors get thrown back into
the hunger games.
With amazing sets, amazing scripts,
and amazing actors the movie comes out beautifully. It is also an example of
how successful a movie can be without promoting tobacco use. This movie was
about as close to perfect as it gets with book adaptations and I highly
recommend everyone to watch or re-watch this blazing movie!
