Source : http://www.secaucusnewjersey.org/hunger-games-just-a-few-tips-for-beginners-11492.html


Hunger Games is the new Twilight and Harry Potter. Undoubtedly turning Jennifer Lawrence into a star and sending the books straight back into the bestsellers lists The first of three movies will hit theaters in March. Here today we will let you know about Hunger Games.

The Government Will Kill Your Children

It is set in post-apocalyptic called Panem which actually is North America, divided in 12 districts with the groups being more impoverished than the next. Every year 2 kids( 1boy and 1 girl between 12-17) from each division/district is chosen in a lottery to the Hunger Games. The 24 kiddos are sent into to battle each other where the winner wins a ticket to the “Good Life” fame, fortune, the easy life. The show is watched by all in Panem.The heroine switches with her younger sister and her name is Katnniss Everdeen.

The Idea Came From Thoughts On War And Reality Shows

Author Suzanne Collins, she was watching television flipping through channels with war coverage and reality shows, “I was tired, and the lines began to blur in this very unsettling way,” she says. Then her love for Greek mythology, like when Athena was forced to send 14 kids to their death at the hands of Minotaur.

These Books Are Very Popular

Hunger Games hasn’t reached the Twilight 100 million mark. The hanger games trilogy has spent over 130 weeks on the NY times and sold over 10 million books.

Winning The Role Of Katniss Was A Battle In Itself

Jennifer Lawrence was up against some good talent for the part of Katniss Everdeen. She won the role over a long list of hot Hollywood up-and-comers including: Mary Mouser, Abigail Breslin, Chloe Moretz, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Roberts,Lyndsy Fonseca,Shailene Woodley, Kaya Scodelario, Emily Browning and Hailee Steinfeld.

Jennifer Lawrence Was Almost Bella Swan

Lawrence is trying to get into mainstream fame, but it could have happened three years ahead of schedule if she’d won the role of Bella Swan instead of Kristen Stewart. Instead Lawrence found herself working on smaller movies, such as the Winter’s Bone. Maybe it was all for the best because, hey, Stewart hasn’t been nominated for any Oscars.

What, If Anything, Does The Hunger Games Series Teach Us About Strategy?

Source : http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2011/10/21/what-if-anything-does-the-hunger-games-series-teach-us-about-strategy/


This book series captivates its readers because of the multiple levels of strategy. The Games glean insights into individual survival strategies. The prominence of television teaches lessons about PR strategies. Of course, there are the larger-scale rebellion strategies. Let’s pick them apart.
Micro-Level Strategy: the Arena: every move involves strategy in the Arena: your allies, the first bloodbath, your weapons, and your interaction with the sponsors. Here’s a few things we learn:

• Know Your Strengths and Weaknesses – Katniss succeeds in the Games because she knows her weakness — her lack of physical strength and brutality. Head-to-head confrontation wouldn’t turn her way. Instead, she evades stronger opponents until she figures out how to gain an advantage. She exploits her strengths — her bow skills, cunning, and resourcefulness — to gain competitive advantage while minimizing her weaknesses. Other late-survivors use the same strategy (Cato, Brutus, Chaff, Peeta, Finnick, and Foxface).
• Hit Your Enemy Where it Hurts – Katniss realizes that the Careers depend on Games-provided food for their strength and endurance. Once Katniss destroys the Careers’ food source, she has the upper hand. After all, the Careers don’t know how to be as resourceful and hungry. This requires high-level strategic thinking.
• Pick Appropriate Allies – just having powerful allies won’t do. In Hunger Games, Katniss chooses Rue, a tiny wisp of a girl; in Catching Fire, Katniss chooses Mags, Betee and Wiress, all relative weaklings. All these choices are individuals with non-strength-based talents. A perfect match for Katniss’ own strengths. Like attracts like.
• Know Who Holds the Power – in both Hunger Games and Catching Fire, Katniss escapes the Arena by attacking the true power source — the Capitol. Katniss’ defiance at the end of the 74th Games capitalized on the Capitol’s need to have a victor. Katniss had the same realization in Catching Fire as she destroyed the force field. The Hunger Games may be rigged, but you can still undermine the Gamemakers.

Intermediate-Level Strategy: Television – the Hunger Games series is a PR strategy playbook for television appearances. Peeta was the master of this strategic game. A few lessons:

• Build Your Brand – throughout the series, we see how tributes paint themselves a certain way. Peeta is the gentle, affable lover-boy. Cato is the vicious brute. Katniss is a courageous, semi-innocent, and committed sister. Brand-building endears you to your audience because you represent something beyond yourself. Katniss, by her “bravery brand”, was a natural fit for the rebellion. The trick is to keep the brand consistent.
• Use Television as a Weapon- the Capitol uses television as a propoaganda and a palliative machine. By making the Games required watching, the Capitol showcases its brutal power over the Districts. Peeta and the rbels twist the Capitol’s own weapon — televisin — against it. Peeta uses television to engender sympathy among the Districts and the Capitol population. The Rebels disseminate stories of Snow’s misdeeds, sowing deeper resentment in Panem. Of course, television can be an offensive or defensive weapon, choose carefully. Whoever controls television, controls information.

Macro-Level Strategy: the Rebellion – Collins provides an interesting playbook for wannabe revolutionaries. I’m not sure if all of her strategic moves lead to the best results, but here’s a few lessons we can draw:

• Capitalize on Unrest – District 13 remained hidden until disquiet rose to critical levels in the remaining Districts. If District 13 had emerged before the critical unrest point, it would not have been able to gain a leadership position. The remaning districts would have been too apathetic or dubious to follow a rebellion.
• Have a Rallying Point – revolutions need a clear message, a rallying point. Katniss provides one with her coup d’etat of the Gamemaker’s power during the 74th and 75th Games. Katniss’ rebellion focuses the widespread discontent towards a particular evil — the Games. History bears out the rallying point strategy. Look at the Bread Riots and the Boston Tea Party for the French and American Revolutions, respectively.
• Brutalize the Enemy – Coin uses this strategy successfully. ThroughoutMockinjay, the rebels unveil Snow’s barbaric methods of preserving leadership. By posing Snow as the villain, it’s much easier for rebels to justify the great bloodshed and dangers of the revolution.

The Hunger Games - Movie Poster District 1

The poster for District 1 shows a castle flanked by swords on either side, with a starburst pattern behind the castle. The illustration suggests the feeling of royalty.

District 1 is wealthier than most, and the residents that take part in the game are career tributes-they volunteer to participate after a lifetime of training. Exports include diamonds and other high-ticket items for those that can afford it.

Lionsgate released another teaser poster for the upcoming film “The Hunger Games” stars Liam Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson, Willow Shields, Woody Harrelson and Stanley Tucci.

Synopsis: In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’ young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district’s female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. ~ by Suzanne Collins

The visuals are said to be out of this world.

Katniss-on-Peeta action: As part of an ongoing saga, Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson get their mack on while in the arena. Do we need to say more?

Hemsworth hunts. Peeta, schmeeta. Some of the hunting scenes featuring Gale show Liam Hemsworth at his ripped finest. Great casting, THG.

Awesome Effie: Elizabeth Banks steals every scene in her pink-wigged, diva-like glory, bringing to life one of the books’ most colorful characters.

RIP Rue: Katniss’ BFF, played by youngster Amandla Stenberg, does not make it out alive, leading to a poignant scene in which Kat adorns Rue’s body with flowers, then sings alongside her fallen comrade’s body. Amazing stuff.
