The Hunger Games

Tweet

The book ‘The Hunger Games’ was a best-seller, and had a massive following especially among teenagers and young adults (what this says about contemporary ‘western’ society will, I suspect, provide much analytical material for future students of sociology and ethics, but anyway…) A couple of days ago the evening was dark and dreary so we thought we would eat relatively early and then watch a video. Little One was keen to watch ‘The Hunger Games’ and the rest of us have never seen it or read the book so we agreed. Well that’s an experience I will never need to have again, I’m glad to say, although I’m afraid the memory of it will linger for far too long. It was as depressing as I anticipated; I think I might even have a mild case of PTSD as I’ve been having very disturbing thoughts and even dreams after that. Little One, in contrast, enjoyed it – she had already seen it once at a friend’s birthday gathering. What a fun event that must have been. Who else has seen ‘The Hunger Games’ and did you enjoy it?
