Catching Fire Adaptation

Catching Fire Adaptation

In Catching Fire a part that I think should definitely be kept when making the movie is when Katniss goes to Haymitchs house and she tries to wake him up, when she is in his house it describes how messy his house is, the smell of it, and how she opens the window to breathe. I think that should be in the movie because it shows how he has just let himself go in that time period from helping Peeta and Katniss during the Hunger Games. Also because it would just be cool to see how messy his house really was.

Another part is at the beginning when Katniss is talking to President Snow and she has a flash back of something that happened on day when Katniss and Gale were together. To me what happened (the kiss) should definitely be in the movie because it’s extremely cute and it’s the start to a love triangle. Now not only is it a sifi book with great action but a real love story where she actually starts to feel something for a guy, when its Peeta (the guy she has to convince everyone she loves) or Gale her hunting partner and best friend.

During the beginning of the book I think it would be important to show how strained Peeta and Katniss relationship is. The fact that during the Hunger Games they had to act like they were in love and when they come back they completely ignored on another’s presence. When they were inside Haymitchs house they barely made eye contact and they talked for the first time since they returned home. It would be important to keep this because it would show how hard it’s going to be for them to really fall in love, well for Katniss to fall in love with him because she doesn’t want to.

            Something I would take away from the book is the fact that Katniss and Gale only see each other on Sundays. In the movie I think I’d make them see each other a little bit more often than in the book. Although not seeing each other much would create passion to see one another but I think if they see each other a bit more, maybe they will grow as close as they were before Katniss left for the games. I want them to be close and fall in love with each other. (:
