who lives in Hartford, Connecticut in the United States, the genre or the type it's an adventure dystopia, science fiction and action
and I'll show you this dystopia
utopia here means a perfect
society everything is just great
but
dystopia is the opposite everything is bad there is mass poverty squalor suffering oppression these are all very bad things
it deals with this theme of survival
survival is you live
in difficult situations so you would get a survival kit
you might have to get some guns or like them they're finding food or making a fire to survive
and it's a conflict between interdependence
and independence
so interdependence is
when you work together
with somebody you work together so here they are working together
you can see these hands here or like the chain is interdependence
it all goes together
where independence is you are free you do it
alone so it's a theme we see in life so independence
vs.
Inter
dependence
and we all deal with that in our lives when should we be alone
and when should we do it together
with somebody and you'll see this in this fun movie
