You clearly didn't understand the movie...
She didn't choose Peeta..it was just for show to survive the Games...

For people comparing this to Battle Royale..they are different. Battle Royale focused on teenage violence and that's why strong violence is necessary for that movie.
But Hunger Games, at least for this movie, was trying to reflect the ugly business of reality shows in Hollywood. Watching the movie does remind me of shows like 'Survivors' and 'The Bachelor' which are all scripted 'reality shows' to create more entertainment. During an interview Jennifer Lawrence even compared the movie to 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' where people don't mind sacrificing something like relationships for the sake of entertainment. And I think this is where the Hunger Games shine..not the [toned down] action scenes..not the [fake] romance...
