Trailer and SPOILER ALERT!!!
Last night I had seen the movie and, as promised, I am going to state my views on it. Well... It was entertaining, but I was expecting more. I was expecting that they might move a bit from the book and I was surprised that the story of the brooch with the mockingjay was changed. Wasn't it the entire premise of the book after all? They did give it a meaning, but in the book it was about the entire community, not just about the family. Katniss was allowed to wear it in the book, Cinna gave it to Katniss as a secret.
All the actors seemed out of place in the movie. Katniss was somewhat how I had imagined her to be, but Prim seems too much of a faded blonde and she doesn't inspire the affection you might feel in the book. Peeta seems too metrosexual as in well built stud-muffin, not the chunky and bulky kid portrayed in the book. Gale is too much of the boy next door, than the jock he should have been. Wasn't the Cornucopia to be golden? Weren't the mockingjays supposed to imitate the human speech? During the game scenes I didn't feel any sympathy for anybody, the movie lost the entire essence of the book: the rebellion against the Capitol, the love triangle and Katniss' inner struggles.
Did I like the movie? Yes. Am I glad that I had read the book before the movie? Absofuckinglutely. Otherwise I wouldn't have read the books. Can't wait to see the Abe Lincoln movie...
