Incredibly talented actor Donald Sutherland, who portrays the ‘elite’ antagonist President Snow, in the Hunger Games Trilogy has confirmed how many felt about the Hunger Games.
It is an allegory for the United States (but it’s application is universal, across all governments).
Sutherland is quoted and can be heard saying:
“And if there’s any question as to what (the Hunger Games) it’s an allegory for I will tell you… it is the powers that be in the United States of America. It’s profiteers. War is for profit. It’s not to save the world, or fordemocracy or king and country. No, it’s for the profit of the top 10%. And the young people, who see this film, must recognize that in the future blind faith in their leaders … will get you dead.”
Can this be any closer to the truth?
