Film Comparison (Similarities)

The Hunger Games Movie was a good take on the book. I have found from the past that movie producers don’t do a good job at representing the book and the characters in it. Katniss played by Jennifer Lawreence has many similarities to the Katniss portrayed in the book. Her personality, she is seen as strong, independent, and as a caring sister and friend. She seems cold and unemotional at times as she does in the book. For example when she enters the capital she seems to have no emotion and in the movie when she first enters the stadium on the chariot as the Girl on Fire she shows no facial expressions. Another similarity I found is the connection between Katniss and Peeta. I felt that in the beginning Katniss was only pretending to be in love with Peeta because she thought it would help her get sponsors, and over time in the games Katniss begins to feel for Peeta. While watching the movie I felt the same feeling that in the end of the games right before they almost ate the berries she did it because she loves Peeta.
