We watched this last night on freeview, it was ok I guess. Though why it's called hunger games, which is not explained in the movie, is beyond me.

From what I've gathered, the games are a tradition celebrating the birth if this Orwellian government, prior to which there was vast suffering and famine. In other words, paying respect to the time of hunger

Yeah that would make sense, thanks. And the teens battle it out in place of having wars ?? So presumably this is a global event ??

well... each district is forced to send to kids to die.... as a reminder of who is in charge... aka not the districts.

The one single winner gets housing and food in a special winners area of their districts called victors village... and they get lots of money and notoriety...instant Celebrity status if you make it out alive

yes the districts get extra food once a month...


the games are designed to maintain control over the Districts and ensure that no other rebellion occurs like the one in the past and the reason the games were invinted

Quote from the book:
To make it humiliating as well as torturous, the Capitol requires us to treat the Hunger Games as a festivity, a sporting event pitting every district against the others. The last tribute alive receives a life of ease back home, and their district will be showered with prizes, largely consisting of food. All year, the Capitol will show the winning district gifts of grain and oil and even delicacies like sugar while the rest of us battle starvation.
