Watching the Hunger Games. This movie is depressing.
|
I watched it a few times
it was good but the book is better |
Its sad, depressing, and a bit racist. Didn't like it.
|
Well I guess you don't really get the underlying message the book/movie gives
|
I don't have to Asa.
|
Also I fail to see how it is racist :/
It isn't at all. The author wrote it to show what's going to happen to America. We are going down a dark path and lets just say it wont be good for anyone except the elitests. I get how you /think/ its racist. But its not. People these days see something like that and scream RACISIM when it isn't at all. Yes they depicted the black people to be the in the farming district but that isn't racist. Yes thrash is illiterate but its for a reason! Shes showing how horrible things will be and not only are the blacks treated badly but everyone who isn't rich ect. This country is going downhill and some people want it to happen. You don't have to? So you'd rather be blind to what's happening right now?? Ron Paul was our only hope of saving this country. Do you know what those other candidates want to do?! We wont be Americans anymore here soon. I fail to see any racism in that movie. And if you do you aren't looking at the whole picture. You're focusing on one part. One detail, when that detail is just there to show how bad things are. u.u |
Yes, them being in the farming district, I do find that racist. Not only that, but the black male, they sick hounds on him. If you don't find that racist, then...Sorry, I can't really discuss this with you without getting into an argument.
|
Its not racist. At all. If you'd only have read the books you'd understand. u.u
First off. In the books they never really gave anyone skin color yes sometimes she'd say tanned skin ect. But to give her message more meaning they decided that was best. Second. District 11 was the first to rebel!!! Didn't you see that? They were the strongest!!!! Okay again. You need to read the book. They aren't hounds they are mutts. Mutations. In the books they say the mutts had the dead competitors eyes. Katnisswas frightened by that. Thresh was killed a different way and I guess they decided that would be quicker. No the mutts weren't for him alone! It was a way for them to end the games quickly because of all the trouble katniss started with the rue thing. U.U " Thresh was reaped along with the female tribute from his district, Rue. Viewed as the strongest tribute in the entire Games, the Career Tributes attempted to recruit him for their alliance during the training sessions, but he refused to join them. In training, he scored a 9 in the film, and a 10 in the book. During Thresh's interview, Caesar Flickerman tried to help him to be more comfortable and talk. However, Thresh only answered in curt single word answers and remained surly. Katniss was extremely impressed with this, and envied Thresh as he showed such silent, deadly physical power and had no need to make the Capitol like him with an angle, though this may have been his angle all along." Look thresh was considered the strongest. Oh God the way he killed that girl in the book. Crazy. Thresh was one of the best characters. You are single minded only seeing the bad things. :/ |
How is that not racist? No I haven't read the books, but if you looked up anything on African American history, you will see where I'm coming from.
You won't really understand this Asami, so I'm not discussing it anymore. I'll just talk to you tomorrow or something. Night. |
I know what you're referring to U.U oh my God :/ I'm not an idiot. You're the one who doesn't know his facts.
I /do/ understand. U.U But you don't! Urggghhhh... you don't understand the MESSAGE its telling you. You see the surface of it and don't bother looking in further. Stop being ignorant. :/ Just whatever. Be ignorant.. like I even care. U.U go through your life blind. My jimmies are thoroughly rustled thanks to this. |
Anyways....where are you Doll? O:
|
Enjoying naked day.. :3 haha.. missed me?
|
Yes, I did! -hugs- How have you been? :3
|
-hugs- Been tired. XD Was enjoying my bottle of booze last night.. hehehe.. never got around to watching Fairy Tail.. oh.. did you and Asami have a fight?
|
Pft, did you enjoy yourself? :3
And yes, we kind of did. I came on last night and said I didn't enjoy the movie "Hunger Games", and I guess she got mad about it -shrugs- I felt the movie had so many tones about it that I didn't like, and I felt a few parts were a little racist. |
Yes, I did. :3
Oh.. I never watched it so I can't agree or disagree.. But all books kind of do that.. in a way.. |
Lol, did you pass out? XD
I suppose so. The romance in it just felt far too overbearing to me. The first thing I compared it to was Twilight. There was only about half an hour of actually action, and the action was depressing. Its odd for me to dislike a movie, but I just really didn't like it. |
No, I didn't. XD I only drank like half of it..
I don't like Twilight.. -nods- We all have our opinions. :3 Till I see the movie, I am unable to form one myself but seems kind of silly arguing over a movie and it's values.. or to me it is.. and I got into a few fights over people about Twilight.. my co-worker never shut up about it and I was like.. don't make me strangle you.. say that freaking movie name again and I will. |
LOL! XD Did you party yesterday, or did you just feel like boozing it up?
True, thats why I just decided to get off yesterday and not even continue to argue over it. So, maybe she'll pop it -shrugs- Did you get into fights with them that actually left you a little mad? O: |
Just boozed it up really. XD
Nah.. she got the message and shut up about it.. Most people respected my wishes.. my mom was huge into Twilight.. I gave her both my books.. < .< she enjoyed them.. |
Is that all you did yesterday? XD
So wait, you dislike it, but you had the books? o.o |
Pretty much..
I had the books before the movie came out.. <. .< Never read them cause I bought them on vacation than when I heard more.. I shoved them in a dark corner.. |
Well, at least your mom made use of them right? :3
Wasn't a complete waste of money? O: |
Yep, that is true. :3
I have quite a few sets still waiting to be read.. :/ I'm bad at buying books than leaving them overseas. |
Lol, why not just get them from the library then? O:
|
Actually the books I want.. they don't have.. :/
|
Do you know if they might be getting them in the future?
|
Possible. I keep checking back in hopes.
|
Do they possibly have a thing where you request a book they don't have that they will be able to get in the future or something? O:
|
I have never asked really.. I know they get new books so often..
|
Yea, you should ask if those are any of the new books that are coming in :3
|
Shall do. Requested a few books so when they come in, I'll see if the librarians know or not.
|
Awesome :3
I hope they get them soon for you :3 |
well, one is already there and the other is a day away so should have it on Tues or Wed. XD
|
Lol awesome, that was fast XD
I just found a dead possum in the trash can o.o |
Ew.. o . . o
Oh, these were books they had in other libraries. XD They send them to the local library for me to pick up. |
Oooooh, I see. Thats pretty convenient :3
Yea, it was just in there with a bunch of flies and maggots D: |
Maybe someone put it in there? Sounds like it's been dead for quite awhile if it has flies and maggots..
|
Not I don't think someone put it there. I think its the animal thats been knocking our trash cans down whenever I put out the trash.
|
Possible.. cause of death: taken out by a trash bag. XD
