![]() And, this time, the screenplay was not written in part by the creator of The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins, the screenplay is now by Simon Beaufoy and Michael Arndt as Michael deBruyn. Though painfully similar to the first Hunger Games, Catching Fire was directed by Francis Lawrence and not Gary Ross this time around. He also explains why the film is so popular to validate his claim that people really don’t like it just because they pay to see it and then maybe to be nice say they like it in a survey giving them free popcorn. The Hunger Games Catching Fire had an incredibly large budget of 130 million to produce what Basicc shows is nothing more than a cheap propaganda film with nothing intriguing happening throughout. He sees the film as Gladiator set in a dystopian high school. Basicc uses his intro to explain the propaganda in the film and also show how the story and character development are as weak and unoriginal as in the first one. This is one of Basicc’s longest works, running almost 3 hours as it contains the full feature movie as well as a 20-minute intro with montages from The Hunger Games films. And after several other commentaries later, Basicc returns to analyze the follow up Hunger Games installment, Catching Fire. This time, he is not playing the director, just a pissed-off spectator. Basicc’s first full length commentary ever was done on The Hunger Games first installment, which had the working title, A Sociological Criticism of The Hunger Games Disguised As A Director’s Commentary. Basicc’s unofficial commentary of The Hunger Games Catching Fire, the second installment in The Hunger Games franchise created by Suzanne Collins.
