The Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, United States, 6 May 2024 local time, drew criticism from netizens. Many people compare this show to a movie The Hunger Games.
The Met Gala is a prestigious fashion event in the world that has been going since 1948. This event is a fundraiser for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Every year, the Met Gala has a costume theme in which the invited guests participate. Many famous people show off their best outfits at this event, Mother.
A fitting Met Gala theme
This year, The Garden of Time set to be the theme of the guests’ clothing. Even though it was lively, the 2024 Met Gala received several public complaints.
The reason is that pro-Palestine demonstrations are still going on all over the world. In fact, there were many demonstrators who tried to enter the museum to protest against the event.
Not only that, netizens also expressed criticism on social media. They are the equivalent of the Met Gala The Hunger Games, a dystopian genre film adapted from the novel by Suzanne Collins.
The novel tells the story of a fictional country called Panem with a Capitol capital surrounded by several provinces. Social inequality is clearly shown, where the people of the Capitol live in poverty while the people of the area live in poverty.
Meanwhile, this year’s Met Gala costume theme is: The Garden of Time taken from the book by JG Ballard in 1962. Reported Mashable, this book tells the story of a gentleman and his wife who live in a luxurious town surrounded by a forest full of flowers.
The Met Gala is covered in opulence looking just like the Capitol in The Hunger Games. Outside the Met Gala, many people are fighting for the freedom of Palestine, which is still a target for Israeli genocide.
Recently, Israel has begun to attack by launching an attack on Rafah, South Gaza. Many netizens believe that the world should pay attention to Rafah, instead of being caught up in the excitement of the Met Gala.
“We really live like in The Hunger Games. Countries are suffering genocide and famine while rich people wear luxury clothes just to show it off,” wrote the netizen account @aadha ***** on the X website.
“It feels like Hunger Games. “With the Met Gala as the Capitol, full of luxurious and ridiculous clothes, while the war ravaged the territories with terrible and inhumane suffering,” said the account @Sally_ *****
Gaza is District 13?
In books and movies The Hunger Games, it is said that there is a tradition at the Capitol where each district is obliged to send representatives to participate in sad games. They have to kill each other to be the winner.
This started a rebellion from District 13 that ended in genocide, Mother. After the Capitol destroyed District 13, some of the survivors were forced to live underground for decades.
The assassination by the Capitol against District 13 sparked speculation by netizens on social media. Many of them equate Gaza with Area 13 because they both had a difficult experience.
“A true version Hunger Games 2024, left: Capitol – Met Gala, right: District 13 – Rafah, Gaza,” wrote a tweet from the account @Suppresse *****
In addition, there are three points that are considered to really show the similarities between them The Hunger Games and the Met Gala. Read on the next page, Mother.
