Beck, Bernard
Multicultural Perspectives, v15 n1 p27-30 2013
Movies that treat the imagined future and that deal with issues of adolescence coming to adulthood are represented by "The Hunger Games." The role of movies that present a dystopic view of the future in our actual attempts to deal with contemporary adolescence is discussed in this article. The use of images of the future as representations of the present is examined.
