I’m all for lessons being taught through entertainment. But do we really need to have our young people watch a movie or read a book like this to teach them that oppressive governments and violence toward each other is wrong? That’s why kids study history.

There is an allure that not many discuss today. And Satan is very good at using the allure of fantastic and exciting stylized special effects action-adventure fiction that draws young people in (e.g., vampires, wizards, serial killers, etc.) It can become addictive and harmful to the soul. That’s where I’m coming from. The Bible warns against having a love for the world’s ways and Hunger Games is simply one more in a long line of the latest and greatest crazes in books and movies. It’s critical that families use biblical discernment in their media choices. But in all this, God holds parents responsible for their children and they must answer to him in how they raise them and what they allow them to feed on. Thanks for the discussion!

The villain is the government that is putting these games together, and the heroes do all they can to prevent it from happening again.

You should really read things before objecting to them.
