2. 2014 Movie : HUNGER GAME (MOCKING JAY) and THE MAZE RUNNER
have a massive difference to each other. from the characters to the story.
In the maze runner - Dylan o’ Briens the main character of the said movie who plays the
role of Thomas, who act as the Catalyst, who wanted to be a runner. He has a single mindedness
which he pursues answers about the glade and its purposes shows that while he wants to know
about his surroundings, it’s more to alleviate his feelings of disorientation rather than to ponder the
bigger questions. his purpose in the movie is not only to serve as our burgeoning hero, but to be
our guide through the world. While in the hunger game mocking jay - Jennifer Lawrence
The main character, who plays Katniss is a 16 yrs old girl. who is strong, who is far more
mature than her age. she is the main provider of her family. Katniss is fiercely protective of her
younger sister, Prim. and she volunteers to take Prim’s place in the hunger game to protect her.
She is responsible for feeding her family, which she does by hunting and foraging, skills she
learned from her father before his death. Katniss realised that, without her hunting, her family
wouldn’t have enough to eat, a serious problem in district 12., where starvation is common.
Katniss has grown into a tough, unsentimental, and practical girl. ironically, the hardships
she faced as a result of her impoverished upbringing wind up working to her advantage once she’s
in arena. the skills and the qualities she developed to cope with the everyday challenges of being
poor, including her ability to hunt, her toughness, and her resourcefulness, turn out to be what
keeps her alive through the games. Katniss purpose in the movie is to find what is true and to fight
what is right.
The story of two movies definitely contrast. the story of the maze runner which happened in
glade, where Thomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon
learning they’re all trapped in a gigantic maze that will require him to join forces with fellow
“runners” for a shot at a escape. but the road isn’t going to be easy, as any who dares enter the
maze finds himself hunted by monsters called grievers, which are half-animal, half-machine.
Furthermore the opponents in the hunger game happened in north america in Panem. that
maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl, called tributes,
to compete in a nationally televised event called Hunger Games. where every citizen must watch
as the youths fight to the death until one remains. the story is centred around Katniss from district
12 tribute, who volunteers for her 12 years old sister, Prim. when Prim’s name is chosen. and
Katniss’s fellow district 12 tribute, Peeta, with whom she has some rather dramatic history. Katniss
is then rushed to the capitol, where she undergoes training before being thrust into the arena to
fight to become the victor of Seventh -Fourth hunger games.
As a conclusion the film in 2014 Hunger Game (Mocking Jay) and The Maze Runner
have effective science-friction film both deliver predictable fighting phenomenon movie. both movie
received good feed back from the audience .
