prominently in the last two books of the trilogy. 3. The movie completely rewrites how Katniss acquired themockingjay pin, and in a sense, this change plays better as a plotdevice. But the change means we also never meet Madge. Hercharacter was about more than just the pin. As the mayor'sdaughter, she illustrates the social and economic divide withinDistrict 12. This divide is especially important as a root causefor the coming conflict in the sequels. 4. Further illustrating this economic divide is the tesserae. Inthe movie, Gale tells Katniss that his name is entered 42 times forthe Reaping. It's the why that's not explained. Children can addtheir name for the Reaping more times in exchange for grain andoil. Naturally, the poorest children take advantage of this option,putting them at greater risk of being picked for the Hunger Games. 5. When Katniss blew up the Career Tributes' food and supplies, theaudience briefly sees the effect it has on her ability to hear. Acouple scenes later, Katniss can hear Rue's cries for helpperfectly. In the book, Katniss doesn't regain hearing in her leftear until after the games -- and only then because the Capitoldoctors restored it. This also is a crucial plot point in "CatchingFire." (But I'm not going to provide any spoilers for that book,just yet.) 6. The mini revolt that occurs in District 11 after Rue's deathnever happened in the book version of "The Hunger Games." (Theuprisings actually begin in "Catching Fire.") Instead, District 11responds to Rue's death by sending a parachute with bread toKatniss -- as a thank-you or payment of a debt, Katniss isn'tentirely sure. 7. When trying to cram a 374-page book into a 2 hour, 22 minutemovie, in-depth, emotionally rich scenes feel rushed. Case inpoint: The cave scene between Katniss and Peeta. Those who read thebook see the conflict in Katniss as she struggles between herdeveloping feelings for Peeta and the pretense of love for thecameras. That conflict is totally lost on the big screen. 8. The frantic pace of the battle atop the cornucopia, with thebeasts snapping from below, makes for great movie action. Yet itends all too soon for Cato. He falls into the clutches of thebeasts, cries out for help twice and dies as Katniss fires an arrowseconds later. Where's the agony that Katniss endures listening toCato moan and beg for hours? Where's the fear of watching Peetableed to death from a leg wound? The mercy killing is so much moreenthralling in the book. 9. And what about Peeta's leg wound -- the one that resulted inamputation and a prosthesis? The movie rewrites this turn ofevents, so that we never see Katniss' shock at learning whathappened or her genuine vulnerability before a televised audience. 10. Now, we get to the big difference. The game changer, if youwill. As the train pulls into District 12, Katniss and Peeta bothseem uncertain about what the future holds but continue to play tothe waiting cameras. They remain allies. In the book, the gulfbetween them is huge. That's because Katniss admits to Peeta thatthe love and affection she showed him after the games was astrategy to keep them alive. His hurt is evident, especially in theface of her uncertainty. It's an ending that shapes "CatchingFire." Guess we will have to wait for the sequel to see how thischange affects the direction of the next movie.
