Watched the movie yesterday and if I was to compare battle royale and Hunger Games, quite a few scenes didnt make any sense.

1. Those are not sponsors. According to the book, the sponsors are sent to the arena by using the parachute.

2. I believe Peeta doesn't have the ability to kill people because he doesn't have the expertise in this.

3. If i remember correctly, she hid behind those trees first right, before she appeared and blew up the supplies.
And those supplies are for the careers, which consists of quite a few members. There's no more members left that time except Foxface and Thresh.

4. Because their relationship (in the book but not really shown in the movie) were very close. It's understandable that she spent much time crying.
And i don't really understand the next question.

5. I thought there was nothing wrong here.

1) I see, the movie didn't explain it well.

2) You don't need to be an expert to kill someone, the group of 4 were sleeping, practically defenseless. A normal strong guy like him can kill at least 2.

3) What I meant is after she blow up the supplies, she was having after effect for a while in the open. Few of them return to kill the kid guarding the supplies but nobody saw her running.

4) I meant since the trap is set by one of the 4, the probability of another member to check on him is high. You can't stay at high risk places like this for long and openly weep.

5) There was announcement 2 from same district can be winner, district 12 yet to have any casualty, which mean the guy will be facing 2 of them at disadvantage position in future.

1. I remember Haymitch explained what's sponsor all about laugh.gif you nvr listen issit tongue.gif

2. And idk what's the use of taking the risk of killing them when they're sleeping lol. It's like committing suicide.
Peeta didn't state that he wanted to die and stuff. He was trying to survive throughout the game.

3. Well, she's probably wayyyy far away from the careers than what you saw in the movie.
Maybe, idk about this tongue.gif

4. oh, now i get you. Probably like what the previous post said, the other career members were too busy discussing about the bombed supplies and stuff.

5. In the book, it's stated that Katniss and Peeta didn't want to kill Thresh. They rather want Cato or Foxface to kill him.
So yeah.. He's dead tho, so no point discussing about this point.

So this movie was based on only the first book or more??

This movie is based on the first book, The Hunger Games.

The next 2 books are Catching Fire and Mockingjay.

i dunno about the book but the movie is meh... Their survival tactics is utter crap.

AND OF ALL THINGS THEY HIRE A CAMERAMAN WHO SHAKES MORE DEN A VIBRATOR FFS.

Battle Royale was much more entertaining as in they juz killed the shyit of their opponents. Stupid Peeta could easily assasinate those careers when they were sleeping. Cover mouth slit throat, kaotim. No1 will know.

oh, i think you dont know what the careers are in this movie.

the careers have been training for the hunger games since when they're small.
they are not like peeta, who helped his parents in bakery shop and bake cakes.

the careers are stronger than him. you think he can do all those without experience -.-

i think this movie is interesting, of course it wont be as good as the book ( havent read it though ) but I like the actors. The ending is probably not satisfactory , that s why i need to wait for chasing fire next year.

catching fire* biggrin.gif

Anyway, i think it's confirmed that Gary Ross won't be directing Catching Fire.
Now they have to find another director.

Yea.. I fell in love with the movie when I went to watch it for myself.
Make me go buy the book and read.
But there is always a big difference between book and movie.
Honestly, the book is much better. However, we need to credit the movie.
If not for the movie, I will not have buy the book  biggrin.gif
So... who's going to be the next director of Catching Fire??
*
Francis Lawrence smile.gif

you probably know the I Am Legend. He was the director of the movie.

from the trailer, can see there's lesser shaky-ish scenes.

but anyway, it's so dark-ish i like it. hopefully it's good.

If you watch the hunger games just for the games only, you will be dissapointed with Mockingjay. Catching Fire itself is not about the games anymore

+1. it's all about revenge now.

I almost cried when cinna was being beaten up n arrested just before katniss launched to the arena, right in front of her eyes.. I was so touched with the speeches n emotions shown by the lady from Capitol (her name started with F) when Katniss and Peeta had to return to the game again

you mean Effie ah

as a big fan of drama genre, this part 1 is well done. i liked it very much! great performance from Jennifer Lawrence. and she has a very decent singing voice, very lana del rey-ish
