Rebellion Movies



Teenagers’ rebelling has been a well-known concept among teens and society for a very long time. Teenagers always want to find a way that they can separate themselves from their parents and make something of themselves in the real world. In the past few years there has been a lot of movies and books portraying teenagers rebelling against society, many of these movies becoming very popular among the teenagers today.

One of the most influential movies and has got so much continual praise from society has been the Hunger Games saga. This movie was the first one that was solely focusing on teenagers rebelling against what they thought was wrong. Sure there were many other movies before the Hunger Games that showed rebellion, but the Hunger Games was one of the first to truly show what rebellion could do for our world. When children and teenagers saw people there are fighting for what they believed in they felt like they could do the same type of thing. (Maybe not as in the most deadly kind of way), but children finally believed that they could make a difference in life.

This is why I believe The Hunger Games and Divergent were such successful movies among teenagers, they felt that closeness, of rebelling and not wanting to do what their parents, or society told them to do anymore.

I feel if Hollywood continues to produce movies like The Hunger Games, and Divergent, we may even see a change in our society, with more teenagers and children speaking out for what they believe in. I don’t know if this is a good or bad thing, but either way it will change our society. We have always had rebelling among teenagers, but with this new change in the media, movies, books, and everything in our everyday lives, I see a dramatic change coming for the United States.

Overall movies like The Hunger Games and Divergent are changing children and teenagers in more ways than anyone can imagine, and in a short we could have a rebellion on our hands in the United States any time now.
