It wasn't the death that got to me but the fact that people took that emotion into rebellion. What does that say about me?

@TheCellularScale, yes, thing...Thanks for reading!<br /><br />@TheCellularScale, yes, things veer into much more damaging psychological methods as the series progresses. I'll check out your post!<br /><br />@Shirah, I totally know what you mean about the desolate images striking a nerve, and the weirdest details pulling me out of the zone of the movie - for me it was a single outfit in the Capitol that seemed just WRONG. And yes, I did wonder how they would show so many deaths while maintaining their mild PG-13 rating. I'm sure it's tough to encounter trauma in emergency medicine as well - I bet emotion regulation is a regular task for you and your coworkers!Mayanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-51941833951332164912012-04-10T08:53:57.266-07:002012-04-10T08:53:57.266-07:00http://cellularscale.blogspot.com/2012/04/real-or-...http://cellularscale.blogspot.com/2012/04/real-or-not-real-neurotorture.html<br /><br />Here's the post.TheCellularScalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379669883853001278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6451967208270832502.post-84443712218215791322012-04-10T03:37:55.311-07:002012-04-10T03:37:55.311-07:00I found the visual portrayal of the extreme povert...I found the visual portrayal of the extreme poverty vs. opulence to be more difficult to deal with, then when I read the books. Maybe because in the movie you don't hear the "these jerks couldn't survive a week!" or "they're like small silly pets." Instead it was more *painfully* obvious how the capitol was USING the kids as both expendable entertainment and power/cruelty. <br />Deaths in the movie: I have unreasonable expectations; I work in emergency medicine. Worse still, I went to see the movie with coworkers. We were *all* surprised by how tidy injury and death were in the film. ("Eh, leave the arrow in-- we can fix that." "Is she napping or dead?") Dying is messy. Trauma is messy. Dying after trauma tends to be messier. I was actually relieved to see how tidy, bordering on peaceful, death appeared in the movie. Originally I assumed this was to keep the PG-13 rating. Now I'm wondering if it's just a bias (is that the right word? bias?) owing to my field of work. <br /><br />Of ALL THE THINGS to jam my disbelief-suspender, it was how they made a specific cut look/heal. The tracker jackers, the Hunger Games setup, the tidy deaths, the changes from the book: No problem, my brain rolled with it. Then tt was almost *physically* jarring, "No, it wouldn't look like THAT! That's not right! I will not suspend my disbelief in this one instance! But a high-tech arena where kids are fighting to the death? Sure. That's fine, carry on."

I thought the most interesting psychological phenomenon in the books happened in book 3: Mockingjay, when neurotorture and 'hijacking' come into play. My most recent blogpost is about that.
