have you ever seen the hunger games movie and read the hunger games book? have you ever noticed the superficial differences between them? well, if you have then you clearly see that the movie and the book rsquo s plots are relatively similar, but there are a few differences between the movie and the book. Although they bear some superficial differences, the similarities between the hunger games book and the hunger games movie are pronounced. to begin, the hunger games movie is a very interesting movie that is modified in order to clarify several concepts that cannot be presented as they were written by suzanne collins. To interpret this idea, the hunger games movie was altered so the viewers could understand many ideas that suzanne collins wrote, but could not be incorporated into the movie in the same way. For example, the idea that the items and the obstacles in the arena were created and controlled by the gamemakers is depicted in the movie when the gamemakers create graphics of mutations and then drag them to where they want to place them. On the contrary, the hunger games book contains the original content and ideas, however, the hunger games movie contains slightly different content and does not represent the same intentions. In other words, the hunger games book had no modifications made to it because it has the original material.

To illustrate this point, in the book, as madge bids farewell to katniss before she leaves to the capitol, she gives katniss the mockingjay pin so she can wear it as the token from her district in the games. However this concept was modified and in the movie someone who appears to be greasy sae gives katniss the mockingjay pin. As primrose says farewell to her sister, she returns the pin to her as a sign of protection as well. These two gestures are clearly different, when madge gives katniss the pin it is with the intention that the pin will be her token from her district in the games, with the intention that katniss will show pride in her district.

Meanwhile, primrose gives katniss the pin with the intention that the pin will protect her during the games. More importantly, the hunger games book and the hunger games movie contain unquestionable similarities. Rdquo this famous phrase that suzanne collins wrote in the book appears throughout the movie. This phrase was portrayed in the book as words people would joke about, but in reality they realized that it was very devastating, for in fact the odds were not in their favor. The idea of how this phrase was viewed in the book was delicately portrayed in the movie when gale told katniss his name was in the reaping forty two times. Not only was this a devastating amount of times because he was eighteen, but because he took out tesserae for his siblings, so they would not have to risk their chances of being chosen to participate in the games, and his mom.

Furthermore, the producer of the hunger games movie carefully depicted cinna as he was described by suzanne collins in the book. In the book, katniss contemplated, ldquo i rsquo m taken aback by how normal he looks. Most of the stylists they interview on television are so dyed, stenciled, and surgically altered they rsquo re grotesque. The only concession to self alteration seems to be metallic gold eyeliner that has been applied with a light hand. They had colored hair, crazy hair styles, strange wardrobes, unnatural skin colors, and a more than necessary amount of makeup on.

Meanwhile in the movie, cinna dressed casually, meaning no crazy wardrobes or crazy hair, simply just a layer of metallic gold eyeliner. In addition, the producer did a tremendous job creating the seam environment on the reaping day, as it resembles what suzanne collins wrote in the book about the seam on the reaping day. Collins wrote from katniss rsquo perspective saying, ldquo but today the black cinder streets are empty. Separating, the meadow from the woods, in fact enclosing all of district 12, is a high chain link fence topped with barbed wire loops.

Rdquo the scenes in the movie that show the seam during the morning of the reaping day resemble this description from the book. It was important for the producer of the movie to capture the essence that the reaping day causes. The reaping is not a happy or joyful event it is very depressing and devastating, therefore it was crucial for suzanne collins to describe the day of the reaping as deserted and to describe everyone as keeping to themselves on this day.

Summing up, while some differences between the hunger games book and the hunger games movie are evident, the similarities are striking. The hunger games movie was slightly altered to incorporate and express the same ideas expressed in the book. However, the hunger games book contains the original material, that was interpreted into the movie with different intentions. Despite having these differences, the similarities between these two topics are that they both exhibit that the odds are not in their favor, they both portray cinna as normal dressed and casual, and in the movie, the seam resembles and captures the mood and tone of the seam that suzanne collins wrote about in the book.

It is evident that the hunger games book and the hunger games movie contain more similarities than differences because the only differences were concepts and ideas that needed modification. the hunger games: novel versus movie it is commonly seen when a book is turned into a movie, to have significant changes and alterations. Some add up to the overall thrill movie makers want to create for their audience, some fail to depict the writer’s thoughts when writing the book. The novel hunger games is among those books that have been incarnated in the movie theaters all over the globe. Would most certainly question several parts of her trilogy’s adaptation, as the movie has some inevitable alterations that differ from the original writing. Some parts of the book have been erased, while some characters have also been removed.

What saves the movie from completely deviating from the original is that collins herself has been the co writer of the screenplay therefore the core story is successfully depicted in the movie, regardless of the differences that are found on screen, when compared to the book. The purpose of this paper is to define the differences among the two and evaluate whether the original message that the writer wanted to pass on to her audience is faded. hunger games is about a young teenager, katniss that is a tough hunter and brings food to the table, after her father’s death. Every year the capitol of the city hosts an event called hunger games, where 2 civilians, called tributes , of opposite sexes are selected from each district to fight to the death in an arena.

When katniss’ sister was selected, katniss offers herself to replace her sister in the arena. As a quick summary, i would say one of the discrepancies between the movie and the book are the way they treat the relationship of katniss and rue, katniss’ protégé in the game, and then the death of rue, including the reaction of rues district to her death. A second major discrepancy is the fact that in the book the mocking jay pin is given to katniss by the mayors daughter and in the film it is given to her by an unknown old woman. In the movie there is also a third person account of what is occurring outside of the games, including the game maker and what he is doing and what is going on with gale back in the district. The last major discrepancy is the mutts that are used by the game maker toward the end of the games.
