Catching Fire is the second
part of the Hunger Games trilogy, produced by Lionsgate and directed by Francis
Lawrence. Based on
Suzanne Collins' novel, this film was released in November 2013. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson played
such main characters as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. It is a
dystopian, science fiction movie with disturbing and uplifting plot at the same moment.
The story is immensely emotional, dramatic and exciting. Many important
political events and strategies are performed here. The various expensive
special effects were used during film’s production in order to make it more
engaging and attractive. The topic is of a real current interest, because
everyday a lot of people become pawns in their lives as well as our heroes do.
Catching Fire is much better than the first film. The director added more
bright actors, unsurpassed action scenes and improved the quality of shooting.
