As strange as it may sound, both stories actually have a lot in common.
It’s rare for critically and popularly panned Netflix films to receive even more attention after leaving the top spot on the global charts, but Ugly managed to reach a whole new level – and spawn an absolutely incredible theory about a secret connection to the mega-successful franchise.
Some fans are convinced that the science fiction film starring Joey King is actually a prequel to ‘The Hunger Games’, films based on the book series of the same name by Suzanne Collins.
It is worth making a reservation right away that in reality, “Ugly” and “The Hunger Games” have absolutely nothing to do with each other – the first was written by Scott Westerfeld and released in 2005, while “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins was released only in 2008. However, they still have something in common: the plots of both works unfold in a dystopian world, where states keep a close eye on their inhabitants and sentence them to lifelong suffering for the good of their homeland.
The theory about the secret relationship between ‘Ugly’ and ‘The Hunger Games’ owes its existence to the fact that in both stories the main characters reveal and challenge the secret thoughts of the rulers of their states, thus beginning the fight for justice.
Moreover, the bizarre style of the local residents in both the first and second film universes remains one of the key details: when in “Urodina” transformation operations cease to be something obligatory, the heroes begin to experiment with their own appearance – the same can be observed in “The Hunger Games.”
