times. Although I think it is a great movie for this era‚ I had a hard time relating to the film. The advancements in film have made it hard to go back to older movies; things like digital effects and color have really made older movies seem like ancient history. The characters seemed over dramatized and unrealistic. The plot did not stick to the book and seemed to change some of the symbolism the Buck used.

There are many similarities and differences between “The Hunger Games” movie and novel version. Only a few truly stood out to me.

O Pioneer’s was a good movie‚ but an even better book. The movie did a good job at getting the point of the story line across‚ but not so much with the character development. I actually finished the book after watching the whole movie so I knew what to expect. I anticipated everything that was going to happen because I wanted to know if it would be the same as the movie.
