For anyone wondering the music which plays in this trailer, it is Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, Op 28, No. 15

[pawchiru]

I'm sorry, but the Hunger Games is just garbage compared to this...

[lucy vega]

ikr the hunger games rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but so does this i luv em both and guys that are saying the HG is garbage stfu cuz you wouldn't like it if i would say that about BR

[choco bo]

like condemned

[GuppyGetGonze]

But if you think about it, communism you don't have to worry about which brand of a product to get because all there is is a government brand. So in that sense, business isnt as hostile. However it is still a very fucked up system.

[GuppyGetGonze]

But think about it. That is how business works. Some companies have an unfair advantage over others due to managing, or funding, or popularity. Similar to the students and what is the idea of business? To make the most money. The idea of the game? To survive. So yeah I admit that the author went to an extreme but he is showing "flaws" which every form of government has. Communism has the flaw of one person running the whole system. Capitalism has the flaw that some people will do anything to be

[Gogohax]

Yeah, the story is an allegory of the authors views on capitolism, and if his views on capitalism are everyone kills each other because of a business owner they don't know then he's obviously a retarded bigot

[GuppyGetGonze]

Also dumb ass An allegory is a story where everything symbolizes something else. Think 'a separate peace'. Your statement doesn't make sense. Suck on that mother fucker

[GuppyGetGonze]

1 iPod, 2 fuck computers. And just because it's an allegory to Western capitalism doesn't mean it supports communism. 1984 by George Orwell is an allegory to the darkness in a humans heart and however, it supports free thinking and knowledge. So your argument is invalid. Also congratulations you understand nationalism you fucking dumbass

[Gogohax]

It takes the side of communism because it's an allegory against western capitalism, that's exactly what I was told by an actual fan of this stuff earlier in the comments so if you think I'm retarded for saying that then the fan of this must be as well for giving me a warped explanation. You think I'm just being a stupid nationalist? Without capitalism you wouldn't even have your own precious computer to comment against me on this video.
