> captures how HK society views

I'm not sure if you realize that is a work of fiction based on one person's opinion, which hardly reflects the view of the "HK society" that you so grandiosely claimed. Should I take the Hunger Games seriously as capturing how Western society views the near future?

Are you saying The Hunger Games isn't a valid, as well as popular, commentary on wealth inequality and Western militarism?

No. I'm saying Hunger Games isn't a representation of how the "Western society" as a whole views the collective future.

little trivia re Western: Hunger games is a remake of the Japanese movie Battle Royale based on the book by Japanese author :)

(but of course not arguing with Hunger Games movie itself as a very western movie with very western visuals, I understand what you mean)
