and this statement is valid to every books.
i suggest you all to read the book version first before you watch the movie version. because you can spend your time wondering and imagining about the characters, and just let your imagination works. i just read a book called, THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins.
The Hunger Games is the first novel from The Hunger Games trilogy, which followed by Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
here im going to tell you what this book is about.
once upon a time, North America was destroyed because of disasters and wars. in the former place, Panem country was appeared, with Capitol as the capital city and 13 district that spread around Capitol. then these 13 district declared resistance to the Capitol. and the result was, Capitol did destruction to the 13th district. as a punishment, Capitol held an annual game called The Hunger Games. every district must send their citizens, which the age ranges between 12 until 18 years old. they would be trapped in a wide area to kill each other. and the last person who survive at the end will be the winner.
the movie of The Hunger Games was released on March 2012.
ive watched the movie version before i read the book.
well, it was such a real regret. while i was reading the book, my mind was too busy to compare the movie scene with the book.
when i read the description of the characters' physical appearance, it has a big difference. Haymitch didnt look drunk, while the opposite was mentioned there.
but the movie version was not bad at all. especially the battle scene, which seemed more 'real' than from the book.
even though people said that Collins copied a Japanese movie called Battle Royale, i still adore the author's imagination. how she described the technology and the environment in Capitol, it was amazing... the inhabitants of Capitol's fashion style, the room where the contestants stayed for attending the rehearsal, the food! #mindblown
over all, i do love this series to the fullest and looking forward to the next series, Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
