Representation


1)In the Hunger Games the traditional female roles are subverted because in films women are conventionally represented as weak but in the Hunger Games the males are shown as weaker and Katniss is shown as strong and their role model. As well as Katniss Everdeen is shown as a fighter and is very brave as she sacrificed her life by volunteering for the Hunger Games instead of her sister, this also shows she loves her family. 


2)The men are represented as weak because they seem soft and normally in Hollywood action adventure films men are normally really strong and muscular. There is a few male who are strong and fierce for example President Snow. Peter is physically strong but he is really emotional as he cries a lot and this is subversive as most Hollywood films have strong, fierce male characters. 


3)The person who is represented as top of the hierarchy is President Snow, snow is white and his skin colour is white so this can show some sort of synergy between his name and race. It is conventional as the person with most power is a strong male. 


4)The film could be suggesting that in  the future the world will be like how it was in the olden days, we were all split up and divided from races, richness, etc. This is different to every other tv show or film as they make the future seem really cool and full of amazing technology but in the Hunger Games the future is shown as unfair and old fashioned for the poor districts where as the rich districts have loads of technology. This could show the audience that maybe we might not all be equal one day ?
