Not half an hour ago I was sitting in the movie theater watching this movie:
Now I had never read the books, my mom and sister had read them, but I had a perfect combination of laziness and just didn't really want to read a book about twenty-four kids having to kill each other in order for there to be a winner. I'm a very soft-hearted lass, and my family decided to do the next best thing, have me watch it.
It was, it was, epic, it was one long climax, I feel like I had five minutes of rising action and a whole movie of climax. There is no falling action. It ends in a climax. And I understand it's a trilogy and I understand there needs to be afterhype, but I needed a breather. When the credits rolled, I turned to my sister and said, "That's it?!?!" And my sister said, "Cailin, it's a trilogy." So...yeah.
As a film, they did a superb job, I felt how I was 'sposed to feel when I was 'sposed to feel something. All the actors went above and beyond, I watched some interviews on Youtube before I wrote this just to get other's opinions and some said they didn't buy Peeta's love for Katniss, some found it kind of stalkerish. But I don't know, that whole love triangle makes me think Peeta should fall for someone who loves him as much as he loves her. Guys, I loved Josh Hutcherson in this movie, I think all of the people who were in this movie now have a better chance of getting cast in more movies. So good for them.
So...overall, I have to begrudgingly give them applause, they did their part well, my money was well spent. And, now I have to go to the library and find all three of the books and read them. Sigh...
Over and out.
Love,
Cailin
