Я да питам нещо...на мен по синопсис тови ми звучи, като елементарен западен rip off на Battle Royal...при това на адаптирания щатски вариант на manga-та.
От друга страна прочетох, че уж HG влизало в по-големи и интересни теми...но останах с впечатление, че авторът на твърдението е ултимативен фен на HG книгите и филма, а смята BR за някакъв простичък хорър.
Ако тук има някой запознат с двата френчайза (The Hunger Games и Battle Royal) - книги, manga и филми, мисля ще е интересно да им направи едно сравнение.
The coffee had been steadily growing more and more execrable for the space of three weeks, till at last it had ceased to be coffee altogether and had assumed the nature of mere discolored water — so this person said. He said it was so weak that it was transparent an inch in depth around the edge of the cup. As he approached the table one morning he saw the transparent edge — by means of his extraordinary vision long before he got to his seat. He went back and complained in a high-handed way to Capt. Duncan. He said the coffee was disgraceful. The Captain showed his. It seemed tolerably good. The incipient mutineer was more outraged than ever, then, at what he denounced as the partiality shown the captain’s table over the other tables in the ship. He flourished back and got his cup and set it down triumphantly, and said:
“Just try that mixture once, Captain Duncan.”
He smelt it — tasted it — smiled benignantly — then said:
“It is inferior — for coffee — but it is pretty fair tea.”
