Hunger Games Review (FINALLY)
1) The Review (it's not long, but I completely adored the movie. I thought it turned out perfectly, delivered all the right notes with tact, beauty and horror).
I finally got to see the film and... wow, I was blown away. I literally was blown away. I was with you, my heart was pounding from the reaping and didn't stop. I knew what was going to happen, but... all the scenes, the cinematography, the music, the actors... they were all wonderful. I had no problems with them whatsoever, and I just... wow. I can't WAIT until Catching Fire comes out.
I was always a Peeta/Katniss girl, but DUDE... I ship those two so hard it's not even funny now. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson sealed the deal for me.
Fandom aside, I took a friend who was interested in the movie (but had never read the books) and SHE even was near tears when Rue died. I, of course, cried like a baby.
I was sorta hoping for a more Southern accents from the people of District 12, but, eh, you can't win them all. Overall, it was a really faithful adaptation. I completely approve.
2) I have come to realize my userpics REQUIRE more Peeta icons. And more Peeta/Katniss icons. And Rue icons. OH FOR THE LOVE OF RUE. ;____________;
