The day I took my mom to see Mockingjay, was the morning we learned that our previous president/dictator Mubarak has been counted innocent after all the youth he's murdered in 2011. What a day it was to see this film!!
I've been a fan of these movies because they embody for me the same cause and ideas that revolutions in my country have stood for. I bet the many fans of this film (who are just obsessed with the love triangle) are not aware of how realistic and relevant it is to events happening in Egypt, and in other corrupted political systems around the world.
I will NOT try to refute all the reviews that deemed this film as 'BORING'. I understand their argument, but this film is an indispensable emotional transition between a story about a brutal reality show, to a story about a freaking revolution!! And if you see it that way, it won't be boring!!
The military corruption and spirit of rebellion captured in the film, is something all Egyptians like me have lived through. The whole cast rendered this spirit beautifully. Jennifer Lawrence, I was so happy that she pulled off that rage that makes the audience hate brutal regimes (The Capital) as much as Katniss does. Josh Hutcherson gave a powerful heart-breaking performance that reminds me of all the brainwashed people we have in Egyptian media. And last but not least, Mr. Sutherland successfully portrayed our previous AND CURRENT presidents who just enslave their people. Thank you Donald!!
I know I'm hailing the film as great because I can relate to its political context. But even if the film is not actually great, it has redefined the YA genre with the importance of its message, which redeems ALL its flaws for me. Knowing that there are people out there, especially teenagers, who will connect with this film and understand how tyrannical systems work, makes me hopeful about the future leaders of this world.
I can't wait for the FIGHT to start in Part 2 as well as the THIRD revolution in my country!!!
