The Hunger Games- Revisited

http://hungergamesina.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/hunger-games.jpg

John and I finally saw the Hunger Games movie and he was definitely as disturbed with the story line as I was when I read it. Since I already reviewed it I won't delve into all my thoughts. But one thought that came to mind deals more with the reality tv side of things. As a fan of reality tv I am the first to admit that it can be very easy to forget that the people on the other side of the screen aren't just characters. They are real people. And secondly it can be easy to forget that ultimately it's all about money. They need drama to make people keep watching, even if that drama is not in fact "reality." All that to say that reality tv should be taken with a grain of salt. It reminds me that everything is not real and to not judge all these people because odds are that we are not getting the full story regardless.
