If you've read the books, you'll likely have a better appreciation of what's going on, but for the uninitiated it might seem a bit farfetched. The book is written in the first-person, and so a lot of the internal dialog that Katniss has with herself is lost, and a lot of things that happen in the film are done or shown with a lot of backstory missing.
It's during their training that Katniss' inner spirit starts to emerge a rebellious nature that Games Master Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley) and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) are hesitant to let bloom, but when television personality and Games host Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci)and therefore the rest of the Capitolis enamored with her, the powers behind the Games have little choice to squash her nature.Īs an adaptation, The Hunger Games feels very rushed in some respects. It's his job to help train them to try to survive the Games, while Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) tries to keep their public image as glamorous and exciting as possible. We follow Katniss and Peeta as they encounter the very decadent lifestyle in the Capitol, and are introduced to their mentor, the alcoholic Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), a previous winner of the Games from their district. Also going to the Games from District 12 is Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), the son of a local baker, who once gave Katniss some bread when she and her family were starving. When the time comes for the lottery, and Katinss' little sister Prim is chosen, Katniss offers to take her sister's place, sparing her sister. Her family barely surviving, Katniss has been sneaking into the woods with her friend Gale to hunt for game, and selling their catches on the local black market. The participants must then fight to the death in a controlled outdoor arena, with the lone survivor living in luxury back in their home district. There used to be a District 13, but after a failed rebellion, it was destroyed, and now the twelve remaining districts must pay tribute to the Capitol by sending up a boy and a girl picked by lottery to be part of the annual Hunger Games.
Living under the distant rule of the wealthy Capitol and President Snow, the twelve poorer districts work hard to provide the necessary materials to fuel the Capitol's excessive desires. No, The Hunger Games is not like Battle Royale, with the exception of both books (and their film versions) depicting kids killing kids in some sort of sick and twisted "game." In the case of The Hunger Games, the film based on the first book in a trilogy from author Suzanne Collins, the story focuses on 16-year old Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who lives with her mother and sister in the very poor District 12 of the post-apocalyptic country of Panem.
