Between today and yesterday I watched all the hunger games movies for the first time (I had only watched the first one before) and let me tell you I was crying and genuinely horrified and sad by the end of it wow just WOW that was so depressingly realistic yall go there for FUN????

#I was Not in the hunger games hype when I was reading 2010 juvenile books #for the simple reason I don't like battle royale or dystopia or modern war books #← not because they're bad or not neat commentaries but bc I am easily impressed and reality is already daunting enough #to me #Like I genuinely only watched bc I want to watch tBoSaS and I needed the context #bc the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is much more up my alley with the colorful old tv and less premeditated battle royale #and. less bombing of children. that genuinely fucked me up there #also I like Snowbaird chemistry and tragedy and dynamics that are A Bit Fucked Up #like in short I'll probably adore tBoSaS as a entertaining movie bc it's more Fantasy and pretty cinematographically tbh #I deeply admire the hunger games as a series it is objectively maybe one of the best and most mature of its era #HOWEVER however too close to the world as it is to not be more sad than entertaining
