Probably because you didn't read the books, did you? That's right, the story's source material is a book, not the blockbuster.
You mean the book, which was also a blockbuster?
You're absolutely right, sir. None of this is a metaphor for "Hollywood". At all
So, if the book was so anti-Hollywood, then why did the author allow it to be sold to Hollywood?
If it was all about the poor starving people against the 1%, then why wasn't it distributed for free, or for charity, instead of aiming to make huge profits on the back of popular tropes?
But it's impossible to ignore that the character of Katniss in all her roughness and terrible charisma was meant to be as anti-Hollywood as a character can be, right down to her complete resistance to participate in the rebellion as shear propaganda.
So anti-Hollywood, she was crafted to make Hollywood hundreds of millions of dollars. Yeah, that'll stick it to those fat cat Hollywood types.
