Jennifer Lawrence plays the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.Talking about her role and the movie she said “It revolves around a twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic called The Hunger Games. It is a nationally televised event in which ‘tributes’ must fight with one another until one survivor remains.My character is not about looking cool with a bow-and-arrow — she’s heartbroken by all that she has to do. It was important for me not to look weak despite being hungry. If the film had been shot 20 years ago, Katniss may just have been a male character because of the dominance of men in cinema in the action genre”
Talking about the female leads in movies Jennifer said “It’s great, because I feel like we’ve got to a place where we have strong female leads. We’ve got Lara Croft as the female James Bond. In Hunger Games, I am not the female James Bond, and I don’t have to be that to get to do action. I’m just a young girl who has been thrown in to this do-or-die situation. That, I think, is a great shift and symbolises acceptance of women in strong action oriented roles.”
