Katniss has a brave heart and agile skills trained by long-term hunting, so she not only participated in this cruel game on behalf of her sister, but also escaped with a pair of bows and arrows and unique skills.

During the battle royale, Katniss was brave and resourceful. Not only did he destroy the trap designed by his opponent, but he also saved Peeta, and finally helped the contestants played by Ryan to get rid of their way as soon as possible.

With both wisdom and courage and some luck, the winning girl not only saved her life but also gained fame and fortune, but more importantly, she became the spokesperson for the resistance of this world class, and exuded a spirit of resistance and freedom all over her body.

Perhaps Katniss does not have Princess Diana's strong body, Laura's prominent family background, and Selena's bloodline, but she can be said to be the master of all the most self-reliant female characters in the new millennium, and can also be regarded as the best representative of the "new feminism" in the film.

In "The Hunger Games", Katniss not only struggled all the way, showing off his strongest spiritual qualities, but also incited the class emotions of the whole nation with his passionate blood raising his hands to pay tribute at critical moments.

‘Old feminism’ can no longer cover the re-expression and evolution of ‘feminism’ in movies today. It can be said that today’s ‘feminism’ is no longer a symbol of striving for power and position in the mainstream patriarchal society, but has become a new evolutionary theory in which women begin to recognize, position and reconcile themselves.

As a result, more and more new female characters in film and television works have made rapid progress on the level of more self-awareness, stronger strength, and fearlessness. While tearing off the gentle outer packaging that requires men's protection and fulfillment, they have also faded the main theme of striving for autonomy and freedom of love.

The voice of feminism in this generation is that not only needs to save yourself, but also the country, others, and the world. Life is not just about finding a reliable job, marrying a prince charming or becoming an ugly duckling into a bride and gaining mainstream recognition, but more shows a larger scale, high specifications and deep concepts to understand the world, recognize yourself and examine the heart. This is called a new feminism.

These women on the big screen may still be beautiful, sexy, youthful, beautiful, but they are never gentle and kind and surrender to men. They can exude malice and gloom, masculinity and strength, believe and take responsibility for their dreams, and like men, they can do whatever they want, play with, bleed and sweat, and even start a war or create a world.

The character of Katniss caters to this development trend.

When the subtitles fell, the theme song "Safe and Hard" sung by Taylor sounded. Although she only played a passerby role who didn't even have lines in the movie, her current hot development momentum can also attract many teenagers to the theater.

The main audience of this film is teenagers and female audiences.

Such youthful movies are obviously not favored by the critics. After the premiere, film critics have successively published their views on the film in online columns.

"The Hunger Games presents a rude scene and a lack of real emotions. Although Natalie Portman's character is full of power, it cannot hide the fragility of the performance. The ending of the film is roundabout, confusing, and without any excitement - it can't be said to be excellent."

As a veteran film critic, David Dembie would definitely not like such a movie full of commercial atmosphere that is completely youthful, and he showed a pitiful three-pointer for "The Hunger Games".

The comments from another famous veteran film critic are not much better, Roger Albert updated the reviews almost as soon as the premiere ended.

"The Hunger Games has many exciting moments, but the whole film is very ordinary, and the mediocrity of the actors and the plot is obvious. Although Natalie Portman's character is radiant and has the temperament of a winner, the performances of other actors, including Ryan Jenkins, are unknown. Everything is serving the heroine, and she wants to do something big, and it turns out to be inexplicable."

He was a little better than David Denby and gave the film four points.

Compared with the old-fashioned film critics, the younger female critics were full of favor for the film, and they applauded the film in the newspaper the next day.

"Just like the performance of the famous work "The Killer Leon", Natalie Portman gave the futuristic and politicized version of "The Most Dangerous Game", and director Sofia Coppola successfully brought most important parts of the novel to the screen. These are enough to satisfy the teenage audiences across the United States!"

——Manora Dages, The New York Times.

"It has a strong viewing ability, and Natalie Portman's performance as the protagonist is excellent and convincing. This is a powerful, glorious and firm interpretation of the original work, and a wonderful novel adaptation that makes previous movies of the same type look similar to each other."

——Washington Post Ann Hodina

Disney has not relaxed because of the release of the film, and the massive publicity campaign is still continuing. In Disneyland around the world, a Hunger Games event with the theme of "Back to Live". Although this event will not die, it is exciting enough.

Although it is definitely incomparable to the "Harry Potter" series, Disney has also invested sufficient resources in this series, striving to make it into another profitable key project.

In fact, some Hollywood insiders' comments are the best evaluation of this film - it is in line with the tastes of today's teenagers and female audiences, and it also has certain meanings.

For such a movie, these are enough.

The performance of "The Hunger Games" on its first weekend can only be described as incredible.

The film started painting in North America in 4,187 theaters, and snatched $67.26 million in box office on Friday alone. This result broke the single-day record of $51.53 million in "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith". "The Hunger Games" became the new North American single-day box office record holder.

Although the outstanding pre-sales resulted in the outside world's expectations of the box office of this film were high enough, the facts proved that their expectations were still too conservative. Even some older film and television practitioners couldn't understand why such a movie with no outstanding plot, thought, structure, and even actor performances could achieve such a high box office?

However, the investigation report sent by Ryan's investigation company explains this reason to a certain extent.

Among the audiences who entered the theater to watch "The Hunger Games" on the first day, the proportion of viewers under 30 was as high as 91%, while the proportion of female audiences exceeded 60%!

In fact, it sounds very simple. In addition to excellent publicity and marketing work, the film is clearly positioned and accurately grasps the mainstream tastes of the target audience. This part of the audience occupies a majority in the film market, which is enough to ensure the audience base of "The Hunger Games".

Of course, the film cannot maintain such a high box office, and it is inevitable that it will fall.

The box office fell by 25% on Saturday, earning $50.39 million, and then fell to $34.87 million on Sunday.

Although the downward trend is unusually obvious, "The Hunger Games" once again set a North American box office record, easily surpassing the $136 million North American box office record with a first-week record of $152.53 million in Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith.

Major entertainment media have used "incredible" and "box office miracle" to describe this video. Even if Disney doesn't have to do much work, they are willing to use large articles to describe this incredible youth video on the front page.

And the nimble producers gradually felt that the era of hot youth films was coming.

As for whether this era is really coming, just look at the subsequent performance of "The Hunger Games".

$10.82 million on Monday, $10.34 million on Tuesday, $8.5 million on Wednesday... Before Friday, another weekend when the North American box office rankings began counting is approaching, "The Hunger Games" has already taken $189.93 million from North America.

Like all the big productions released by Disney in recent years, this video will be released simultaneously among the five gay friends in the English-speaking area even if it is not released simultaneously worldwide.

These areas are also the most influential places of Ryan. The novel "The Hunger Games" with his name is also popular local books, and the film's box office is also excellent.

The UK's first week's box office reached $35.33 million; it successfully won eight figures in Australia, with $14.53 million enough to make Disney laugh; even New Zealand's first week's box office was $4.62 million due to its lack of strong competitors.

In addition, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of the European continent are also within the scope of the simultaneous release.

Of course, the performance of the film in these non-English-speaking areas is much worse, and the box office is far from being excellent. It is considered by many local audiences to be unreasonable. Even many overseas media are discussing why such a strange film can be sold well in North America?

The film is deeply influenced by the language, culture and social environment of the region. If the film performs well in some regions, if it changes to another region, it may encounter the same situation as "The Hunger Games". This is the most popular Hollywood film in the world. If it were films produced in other countries, it would be almost impossible to become a world-wide best-selling culture.

High industrialization and commercialization determines Hollywood's dominance.

By Friday of the second week, before DreamWorks' "Escape from the Clones" was released, "The Hunger Games" had already swept away $258.56 million from the world, especially the film's performance in the North American market, which was simply the best candidate for the annual box office champion.

Perhaps "Escape from the Clone Island", which also has a total investment of more than US$200 million, will squeeze the box office space of this film?
