Science fiction deals with
futuristic science, technology and society.
In the film, we can see a great advancement in the fields of science and
technology. Holographic projections, widescreen televisions the size of
billboards, high-tech cameras, space-ships, high-speed trains and even force
fields, were all present in the movie. Not only does science fiction deal with
all these high-tech gadgets but it also deals with a society which may be a
foreseeable future.
These scientific apparatuses, a
tremendous amount of wealth, together with a huge dose of tyrannical
dictatorship govern all.
In the movie, there is an
undeniable, distinct division between the rich and the poverty-stricken people.
Well-off people would have access on anything that they would want—power, money
and influence. Others, who are off with nothing, remain in the void of
nothingness.
The past is a crucial key for both
the present and the future. From the film, it can be assumed of what may be a
possible environment in the future.
Science, technology, and society,
all fail and succeed in the world of the 13 districts. Although evidently, it
is more of a failure. Science and technology made its way to make the lives of
the citizens in each district more miserable than it already is.
Simultaneously, it gives the Capitol all the control and authority over them.
