In
movies, there’s only so much you want left to the imagination. We
don’t know about you, but when we read (and re-read)
The
Hunger Games, our
imagination was running wild with all the imagery and crazy scenes.
And
with the movie coming out March
23, the scenes we’ve
loved reading—and envisioning—are finally going to play out on
the big screen! Here are the ones we can’t wait to see come alive
the most. Do you agree?
Spoiler Alert! If you haven’t read the book, and
don’t plan on doing so before the flick, might wanna stop reading.
Katniss and Gale
hunting in the forest
These
two seem like such amazing friends, and don’t even need to speak to
enjoy each other’s company. Seeing them getting their food and
bonding in the forest, in their second home, will be incredibly sweet
to watch.
Katniss
volunteering to be a tribute
Tears
will be shed in movie theaters across the world when people are
watching this. The love Katniss has for her sister, Prim, is so
great. By volunteering to be a tribute instead of her sis, Katniss
is, in a way, trading her life for her sister’s. To see that love
transcend from the book to the movie will be so emotional.
Katniss and
Peeta riding in their tribute float
Stealing
the show as “the girl on fire,” Katniss is already set to be a
fan favorite. With Peeta by her side and his loving gaze…sigh, we
can’t wait! The book describes their fire outfits as being
absolutely amazing and outrageous, so we can’t wait to see if the
movie does these justice.
Tracker jacker
scene
Katniss
is hiding in a tree and can’t leave because she’s being circled
by her opponents on the ground. Her only hope? Knocking a tracker
jacker nest onto her unassuming enemies! These are deadly insects,
resembling wasps, but much more dangerous. Will it appear just as
treacherous?
Katniss sings
and decorates Rue after she is killed
Rue
is extremely young, Prim’s age, and she becomes an ally for
Katniss. Sorta like her sister during the Games. But when Rue is
killed, Katniss takes the time to sing to her and decorate her body
with flowers. This scene is so innocent and sweet, such a change from
the rest of the Hunger Games
scenes.
Peeta’s
and Katniss’ first kiss
The world already knows that Peeta has
feelings for Katniss, but nothing has happened between the two yet.
That is until Katniss saves an injured Peeta by dragging him to a
cave for safety. He’s afraid he wont survive and wants to tell her
some things before he does. But Katniss won’t hear any of it and,
in order to get him to stop talking, she kisses him! The whole
saving-the-boy-then-kissing-him thing is so totally cute! We can’t
wait to see their love in theaters.
Peeta and
Katniss “committing suicide”
These
two are the only ones left in the Hunger Games when Capitol officials
decide to change the rules and say only one of them can be
victorious. Peeta and Katniss couldn’t imagine killing one another,
so they decide the only thing they can do is trick the officials by
both (almost!) swallowing poisonous berries. This scene is definitely
one of the most powerful in the book, so it should be absolutely
incredible in the movie. Who doesn’t heart the idea of sacrificing
things for love?!
Which
scene are you looking forward to seeing most in The
Hunger Games movie? Do you
think the movie will be better than the book? Blog about it, babes.
