The Hunger Games - Complete Collection [DVD] [2015]

Product Information

For Katniss to truly be herself, she realizes she must now fully take on the indomitable Mockingjay spirit in a last stand to set things right. Jennifer Lawrence is pretty enough (not beautiful) to engage but Sutherland gives a masterclass, as Coriolanus Snow, in soft-spoken 'under-acting'. The disadvantage is the cost: it costs about 30% more than the standard Airmail/Expedited option, but is available if requested. In 'The Hunger Games' (2012) Jennifer Lawrence stars as 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of the totalitarian post-apocalyptic country of Panem, formerly the United States. OK, look, I'm probably old enough to be the grandfather of most of the people submitting reviews to this movie.

As Panem prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games), autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland), still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games, stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe out any resistance from the districts once and for all. The novel on which the film is based is the third in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 65 million copies in print in the U. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part l is the highly-anticipated third installment of the blockbuster phenomenon that blazed across movie screens around the globe. But the film was not meant for such as I; a male so close to retirement age that I will still be drawing down my 'free bus pass' in a couple of short months.But soon after, while on a 'Victory Tour' of the other districts, she becomes aware of growing dissent to the Capitol's rule, and realises that rebellion is in the air.

The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.With Katniss as their leader, the citizens of Panem unite in battle against the Capitol in an attempt to bring down the autocratic President Snow (Donald Sutherland) once and for all.
