这两天终于把这本小说看完，真好看！电影也是box office big hit.今天不到下班时间就迫不及待地往电影院赶，终于看完电影。这两天好像就是为Hunger Games 活着似的，虽然不至于茶饭不思，但也是到达了朝思暮想的境界。
Hunger Games 不单纯是一部动作片，人性的很多方面都在这个电影里展示出来--爱，恨，恐惧，希望，亲情，怜悯，无畏，冷酷，凶残。。给我印象最深的是一个太不平等的社会。住在Capitol的人都过着极其奢华的生活，锦衣玉食。而住在各个district的人民却要每天忍受着各种困苦和精神折磨，饥饿，劳累，病痛，羞辱。。，更不能忍受的是一年一度的reaping, 每个district 都要有一男一女两个tributes去参加Hunger Games, 去成为Capitol的特权阶层的消遣的道具， 被无辜地杀戮， 人们每年都要担心自己或家人不幸被选成为tribute。
这种不平等让我想起了几十年前的中国，住在首都的人民好像很有特权，比起周边城市和农村来，差距很大。在北京吃菜，肉，鱼，都比其他城市好， 冬天有暖气，不用买劈柴，煤球，蜂窝煤。。，从楼下到楼上，一趟一趟地搬。而且做饭又有煤气可以烧，不用自己起火做饭。我那个时候因为经常去北京的亲戚家，所以对这些差异和不平等体会很深。还有一个住在首都的特权就是有北京户口的人可以很容易上北大和清华。我上了北大以后才发现，对于首都的高中生来说，那不是要做出很多努力的事情，我的大学同班就有人比我的高考分数低一百分，那时候高考满分也就六百分。但比起那些出生在农村的孩子来，我们这点差距又算得了什么?
看来了The Hunger Games, 让我莫名其妙地想起了很多年以前的事。。
Rue's Lullaby
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, A moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash all away.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you (x2)
Listen up, Close your eyes this is your lullaby.
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...
