I appreciated the first Hunger Games movie, but wasn’t eager to watch it again at the time. The sequel has me wanting to watch the first film again — in a good way. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: my “Reel Faith” 60-second review.
Link to this itemI really like your approach to films so I’m hoping for some wisdom! My two oldest girls, 10 and 12, are keen on seeing Catching Fire. I did not allow The Hunger Games, but I know they have seen some scenes. They can read the books, but don’t seem so interested. What’s your opinion? If yes, can you suggest a video review or commentary to watch beforehand with them? Or have them read and then rent it?
It is the idea of a rebellious, pouting, effortlessly beautiful, super-powered heroine that doesn’t know she’s stringing along two guys…and the guys accepting that. Let alone the violence and the incompetent mother. How can I teach their minds to see past the glitz, at least a little?
