In a totalitarian future, young people are required to fight to the death in televised games. The full version is rated 15 and contains bloodier violence than the 12 rated cinema version.
The Hunger Games is an action adventure based upon a series of teenage fiction books by bestselling author Susanne Collins. The film is emotionally intense, violent and thought provoking and more suited to older adolescents and adults.
This version restored much of the previous material cut or changed for the theatrical 12A version, and was therefore rated 15, with new BBFCinsight warning parents of 'strong violence and threat'.
And EW can reveal exclusively that the group rates The Hunger Games a “Pause 13+.” What does that mean? “When we rate something 'pause,' it's really a know-your-kids situation,” managing editor Betsy Bozdech tells EW. “It's iffy for the age, but some 13-year-olds may be able to handle it, and some may not.
Parents need to know that The Hunger Games is the first installment in the action film series based on Suzanne Collins' bestselling novels. The film stays true to the books' constant depictions of violence and cruelty, mostly among teen characters. They try to kill one another using various weapons, including…
(Written) Tales of The Hunger Games: The 11th to 15th games
Why was Katniss rated 11?
Clove - 10, presumed for her knife throwing skills. Thresh - 10 (book), 9 (film), presumed for his physical strength. Peeta Mellark - 8, for physical strength. Katniss Everdeen - 11, for her skill with a bow and arrow and her fierce temper.
District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love. Rating: PG-13 (Disturbing Images|All Involving Teens|Intense Violent Thematic Mat.)
Spoilers. The Cornucopia Bloodbath scene at the start of the hunger games is very intense and quite disturbing. We see children brutally murdered by other kids, although the camera is shaky, making the gore hard to focus on.
Are there any inappropriate scenes in The Hunger Games book?
Some tributes are scantily dressed to get attention. There's no sex in these books except in the third book when a tribute's sex slave history is mentioned.
She is thin and not very tall, but is strong for her size from hunting to feed her family in the woods outside of District 12. Katniss is sixteen years old during the 74th Hunger Games, and seventeen years old during the Quarter Quell and the Rebellion.
Trivia. Katniss and Peeta were the first and only tributes to receive a 12. During the 71st Hunger Games, Johanna Mason kept up a guise of weakness, so she presumably got a low score on purpose.
In the first book, she is 16 years old. She is unremarkable in District 12, and some make fun of her for being scrawny and underfed. Her father died when she was young, leaving Katniss, her mother, and her younger sister alone in the world.
The 12A requires an adult to accompany any child under 12 seeing a 12A film at the cinema. This is enforced by cinema staff and a cinema may lose its license if adult accompaniment is not enforced for children under 12 admitted to a 12A film.
There are a few splashes and cuts that can be seen, but it isn't too bad. There are many glimpses of deep gashes and wounds on various characters, and multiple dead bodies. There is a video shown from a previous game of a teenager bashing another kid's face with a bloody brick.
The Hunger Games is an action adventure based upon a series of teenage fiction books by bestselling author Susanne Collins. The film is emotionally intense, violent and thought provoking and more suited to older adolescents and adults.
Like most milestones, there is no “right age.” It all depends on the kid—and the parents. But there are a few age-related guidelines to take into consideration: From a technical standpoint, Harry Potter is categorized as a middle-grade read, which typically encompasses 9–to–12-year-olds.
The Cornucopia Bloodbath scene at the start of the hunger games is very intense and quite disturbing. We see children brutally murdered by other kids, although the camera is shaky, making the gore hard to focus on. We see spearing and stabbings and blood splashing out as well as a brief leg amputation.
What is the most violent scene in The Hunger Games?
But once the Games begin, the blood level picks up. By far, the most violent scene is when the Games first start, and the tributes are all killing each other. Blood spurts from open wounds, impact, blood-covered weapons, and in the aftermath, you see dead bodies littered around the space.
Not unlike Harry Potter before it, fans of The Hunger Games feel its most prominent on-screen romance was lacking. While Katniss and Peeta end up together in the series' final installment, getting married and having children, the film evokes the idea of a storybook ending that seems largely unearned.
The 42-second deleted scene was posted via Lionsgate UK's Twitter account with the caption: “Since you all loved the last one so much, here's a Mockingjay - Part 1 deleted scene.” In the clip, Katniss is seen getting her 'make-up' done by two Avoxes - rebels who are unable to speak as they've had their tongues cut out.
What mental illness does Katniss have in The Hunger Games?
Katniss Everdeen, heroine of The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, is said to have PTSD, demonstrated by the psychological effects of her traumatic journey through life.
Many actresses auditioned for the role of Katniss before Lawrence, fresh off of her first Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone, was chosen. When she landed the coveted part, she was 20 years old.
Haymitch Abernathy, the mentor for Katniss and Peeta in The Hunger Games, won his own Hunger Games through smart tactics and outsmarting his opponents.
But the thing is, Stranger Things is still rated TV-14 and still has its share of language, blood, and horror-esque moments. No matter how many kids are allowed to watch it, it's never going to be called a kid's show.
