Hunger Games the movie

This weekend I went and saw the movie the Hunger Games. It was very interesting concept, and with many interesting looks and names. I really enjoyed watching this movie because it was basically for everyone boys, girls, etc. But it was violent so small children might not want to go see it. It was very suspenseful and left the viewer on the edge of their seats. I know you should read the books before you go see the movie, but this time I didn't. I saw the movie, and now I am reading the book. I haven't gotten very far because I have been working on the English projects.
It's hard to imagine a world were 24 or 23 however many number of children get killed for the enjoyment of people. I also don't understand the concept of what makes the adults of that world just give up their children to fight to the death. If I had been chosen to be in the hunger games I would probably be one of the first 10 dead for 2 reasons, 1. I couldn't kill a person, and 2. I would panic and become crazy paranoid I wouldn't really know what to do. But all in all it was a great movie, with great costumes, and great actors/actresses.
