Blindness in 'The Hunger Games'
The Hunger Games is a film set in a post-apocalyptic time where people are separated by districts and are forced to participate in a game, The Hunger Games. The districts choose two representatives from each district to fight and kill representatives from other districts until one person is left. This film uses mental blindness to address, and make a statement on, psychosocial issues in this era.

Although the oppressors are outnumbered by those they control, they maintain their control through creating fear, social separation, and changing mindsets, these themes are shown in The Hunger Games through different camera angles and colors.

Are We Still Reaching for the Stars? The Decline of the Movie Star Phenomenon
There has been an awakening... well for quite many years actually. The awakening in question is that people don't go to see movies solely because of a famous actor or actress attached to it anymore. Instead, the focus has shifted more from going to see movies for their starts to going to see movies because of their link to a franchise, their source material, director, the ideas behind them (perhaps even most importantly), critic reviews and so on. Who is acting in them, has become just one of the many factors and not the most important one.
