The relationship with Gale was the biggest. The complete cutout of Madge, the daughter of district 12's mayor, who gave Katniss the mockingjay pin was a little easier to understand time-wise. And the existence/meaning of avoxes was surprisingly absent. Obviously they will have to get into this stuff later, but it didn't go unnoticed.Kayla Heersinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336599007593721905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198117704298608754.post-61776462548307031282012-03-28T12:43:12.442-07:002012-03-28T12:43:12.442-07:00Yes, loved it.

We saw groups of guys without dates at the movie, which was really cool because I didn't know how many men would go for an action movie with a non-sexy female lead. There have been annoying comments about that fact (like on Kayla's facebook page), but most guys seem very open to it or not affected by it at all. One thing that has been interesting me is the idea in the movie that TV creates a disconnect where even though what we're watching is "reality" we don't take it that way, which partially explains why the Capital citizens can watch the Hunger Games. What I've been wondering is how many people are watching this movie for the violence and shock value and not getting any of the critism. Ironic, no?Bess V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074684875584306845noreply@blogger.com
