Mockingjay,
the third book of the Hunger Games trilogy, is coming to theatres near you on
November 21st, 2014. The
movie, awaited by many, will be part one of two. The first teaser trailer released was on June
25th of this year and there were 7 more to follow. The official and last trailer released came
out on October 29th.
When
the first book came out in 2008, it’s was all anybody was talking about. The movie, “the Hunger Games” was later
released in 2012 with Jennifer Lawrence playing as Katniss Everdeen. It was amazing and the books were flying off
the shelves. “Catching Fire” came out in
theatres in 2013. Katniss Everdeen’s
story continues and the news of the 3rd book, Mockingjay,
being split into a two part movie seems even greater.
Divergent
kind of reminds me of the Hunger Games.
The factions make me think of the districts, there doesn’t seem to be
many parents guiding the kids, they all seem to be fighting each other, and
there is one high-power government overtaking the people. I’m only one opinion though, I haven’t
actually read any of the Divergent books, I’ve only seen the movie. I might read the books, but it really hasn’t
hit me that I “need” to read them.
I am definitely a fan
of the Hunger Games. I read the books
before the movies and immediately went to see them as soon as they were
out. I think the movies do a pretty good
job following the books, which doesn’t happen too often. I think the movie
really captures the life the people within the districts (specifically District
12) lives. You can actually see the
hardships the people go through. Watching
the games themselves is almost traumatizing.
Watching it on the screen makes it seem more real, rather than imagining
it while reading it.
I’m also definitely a
sucker for the Katniss/Peeta relationship, so every moment whether they were in
the books or out, I was hooked. This
leads me to say I’m “team Peeta” or whatever. (Is this becoming like Twilight
with team Edward and team Jacob?) I’m
all about the romances and becoming obsessed with imaginary characters.
