Hunger games book: anti the phoniness of modern cultures, specifically criticizing reality TV. Also being anti-capitalistic greed. Hunger games movie: participates in the phoniness of modern culture, specifically targeting the reality TV audience, while participating in excessive capitalistic marketing.

***** with game off thrones being a successful adaptation from book to tv, publishers will realize that not every book should be a movie regardless of how much they have to cut it to shreds. on the other hand more and more publishers seem to think the best way to solve it is to make more movies. for example the hobbit was divided into three parts. the hobbit isn't fit for a single movie but i would have preferred they make it a mini series. a lower budget might also have persuaded them to not bloat the battle of five armies, thus undermining the satire of the segment entirely

Greetings Mr. Wormuloid. It is of my humble request to find the hidden meaning in the artifact of "John Wick" which I believe is starred by the non-aging immortal vampire named Keyanu Reebs. Thank you and may your glorious eye brows grow long and prosper.

I think he was referring to the Japanese comic: " Battle Royale" where a class of students are sent to a island where they have to kill each other for entertainment. SURPRISE (ofcourse) the protagonist with Japanese "Haymitch" who survived the previous games to secretly help the protagonist to stop the games in the future. Best part yet, Battle Royale is written 14 years before Hunger Games and have films too.

I like that subtle reference to Battle Royale. (For those who don't know, it's a Japanese novel that the Hunger Games basically ripped it's own concept from)

@shadowninja958 7 жыл бұрын

well hunger games takes a very different route, they use the same generalized concept but the overall meaning of the series as a whole was vastly different and very much more original (never actually seen or read battle royal so that might be completely wrong if it is feel free to tell me)

@lovezorange33 7 жыл бұрын

In Garyx Wormuloid's society, the process of eating (biting, chewing, and swallowing) is considered a disgusting sight to behold and must be censored.

@markhaus 7 жыл бұрын

Baladucci I think it's a humorous reference to Star Trek and their weakly inspired alien-a-week antagonists. By the way I love Star Trek but they made some very odd choices on some aliens they met and one of them became offended enough at the sight of eating that they caused an incident.

@sarkasticchik9133 8 жыл бұрын

I think what you said about the bread is really on point, but taking about the books for a moment, I feel like bread represents hope. If you take a close look at when Peeta gives Katniss the bread, in the first book, she mentions that that action gave her the hope that she could continue on living. Also there's a great parallelism in the final book, when she is really depressed and Peeta brings her the bread as well, and so slowly Katniss comes back to life.

AMZING VIDEO AGAIN!!! I just hate that I have to wait 2 weeks for the next Earthling Cinema. But I do watch the hell out of your other videos. It's just amazing quality of content and I think that's what separates your channel from the rest. The depth of literary analysis, the sarcasm and wit - omg I can't explain how happy I get when I get notified of a new Wisecrack video. It also seems you have a really good understanding of the demographics of your users. Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself here: I've been looking to develop my digital art skills and it's true that while you can find a lot of free tutorials on youtube, these usually are the intros to intros to that skill. I'm going to check out lynda.com to see how it compares. Just wanted to give you feedback that this was spot on in terms of relevance to me as a Wisecrack fan trying to break into the world of internet content creation. Thank you and keep it up!!!! And if you could do something on the Anime 'Gurren Lagann" or "Monster" or "Deathnote" that would be great! If your other followers are like me, I'm sure they might appreciate that, too!

Panem also likely relates to the quote by the Ancient Roman writer Juvenal, 'bread and circuses,' the circus aspect being related to by the actual hunger games themselves. Juvenal regarded the use of bread and circuses to have placated the feelings of the Roman mob, thus allowing an autocratic elite to rule, similar to the Capitol in the Hunger Games.
