The Hunger Games - Differences between the book and film?
What differences stuck out the most to you? There were plenty of scenes which I think really did the book justice, but here are my main issues:
Haymitch - I just don't get his character in the film. I think Woody Harrelson is a wonderful actor but I just don't think they made him 'paunchy', 'middle aged' or rough enough. He was too well put together and just didn't seem qutie right. I wish they had done the scene properly on the train with Peeta and Katniss when he says that they might actually have some fighters here this year.
The interview. Flickerman was great, but Katniss did worse than she should have. And doesn't the dress spinning ruin the shock of it happening in Catching Fire?
All the stuff in the cave. The lamb stew. The sleeping syrup. Katniss taking care of him. The kiss which was actually real. Peeta nearly dying. None of it was quite right for me.
The dress Katniss was wearing in the final interview. I know she's meant to look girly and vulnerable, but she looked ridiculous in that - I don't think Cinna would have put her in that.
Let me know what irked you and if you agree!!!
