Hunger Games

I think this movie deserves a posting here thanks to one memorable scene.

When the little girl Rue died, Katniss Everdeen gave her District 12 respect sign (the three middle fingers thingy) to the camera.

People of District 11 who were watching this returned her salute sign. This incident sparked riot in District 11.

I didn't understand this sign when District 12's people directed their sign to the Tributes.

But Katniss explained that sign in a wonderful way when Rue died.
I thought she looked cool and heroic there.

At that point I realised where this story was going.
And I may be wrong but I feel that the novelist must have borrow inspiration from some Japanese movies such as Battle Royale.

But anyway I am glad that this isn't just about a good looking boyfriend who needs blood to maintain his immortality.

I am glad that Katniss is a revolution leader in the making.
For a moment the riot scene reminds me of our own country's latest 'BBM' incidents.
Unfortunately one is a fight for freedom and the other one is a fight fueled by greed.

back to hunger games- for a scene like the one above, I may consider watching the sequel should they decide to make it.

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-
