I loved this reaction, but can someone please tell Aaron to move his mic away from his face, I could hear every breath he took and every mouth sound which really distracted from the movie

πππ Sweet and tender hearted people like Chuck are eaten up, chewed and then spit out in dystopian stories like this and it always breaks my heart because the characters are always written with such a strong will to live and an insurmountable amount of strength in terms of hope and beliefs in the others around them but the hopefuls always feel like they're never meant to survive like they're always just fodder to progress the story and give the other characters a reason to throw away their self doubts and pick up the torch of hope so I'm at least glad in this story that Chuck was given this small chance and actually made it all the way to the end β€οΈβ€οΈ

Got to checkout Will Poulter in the Miniseries, Dopesick. He is absolutely amazing in that Miniseries. Great cast too: Michael Keaton, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Stuhlbarg, Will Poulter, Kaitlyn Ever, and Rosario Dawson. As far as Dylan OβBrian films, I highly recommend Deepwater Horizon, American Assassin, Love and Monsters, The Outfit, Saturday Night, and Caddo Lake.

This movie was very popular in the 2010s, and the books were extremely popular too. I did like the first movie, and the next two were alright.
I think people have gotten over a lot of the YA dystopian stuff by now though, particularly in the book world, after having seen/read Hunger Games, Shatter Me, The Selection, Matched, then Maze Runner, then Divergent, then Handmaid's Tale, Uglies, Legend, Darkest Minds, Scythe, Ready Player One, etc., etc., etc. There was a period where like tons of YA books were dystopians, lol.
Also, this movie series ended up going down in ratings as the movies went along, and there were changes from the books that people didn't necessarily like. And the actor that played Thomas had this accident on set, so they had to delay the third movie, iirc.
By the time of the release of the third movie, James Dashner, the book author, had a sexual harassment claim against him, which he acknowledged and apologized for, and said he was going to counseling. This was during Me Too. He got dropped from his publisher and his agent. But eventually he started releasing books again, iirc, under a different publisher.
So yeah, it's a whole thing with this series in particular. Divergent had similar problems too. The first movie was great, then they get worse over time, it had changes from the books people didn't like, they split the third book into two movies, and ended up never releasing the fourth movie, and the author wrote a new book that had this line that people considered possibly racist.
Hunger Games has been the most unique and most successful of the 2000s YA dystopians, I would say. Although I read Scythe, and it's one of my favorite series'!
