REVIEW: Songs
from District 12 and Beyond is sold as the “official companion to The Hunger Games movie.” Instead of the film’s original score, it features
music from various artists like Taylor Swift, The Decemberists, Arcade Fire,
Maroon 5 and Kid Cudi that was used in the film in some way. The songs are
meant to reflect the various emotions felt throughout the story.
OPINION: As a
pillar in popular culture right now, many tweens are very interested in The
Hunger Games. For tweens who have parents that think the book/movie are too
mature for them, the soundtrack is a way for them to experience the movie/book
without the mature content, or for those who have read the book or seen the movie
to connect with it on a more personal level.
IDEAS: As it is considered the official companion to the movie, the music would also be a good companion for a Hunger Games themed program or event.
