All the trees bear fruit
I have to pick them before they fall
I finally grab one
I hold it in my hand
I open it up
It’s rotten to the core
Why don’t I dream anymore?

Definitely read the books first. THEY ARE SO GOOD and the movie would make more sense if you knew what was going on.

How do people not picture Rue as a black girl?
They SAY she's a black girl. They describe her as being a black girl.
Thresh too.

NOT pleased with the cast at all, i mean i like josh and liam - but they're not who i imagined for those roles.
Don't even get me started on jennifer oooh lawd. There are about 100 other actresses that could've been a better choice.
But whatev. No use in complaining...all i'm praying is that they don't **** this up!

I read the first one last year. I was so annoyed with people praising it and everything.
But once I read it, it was just amazing.
Rue is my favorite character.
I still have to read the other two. Which I'm planning to do.

I really hope they use a bit of Safe & Sound either for Rue's death or when they're sleeping in the cave.
I just really want the song in the movie.

Katniss sang a different lullaby; the words were in the book (and in the trilogy epilogue) and Jennifer Lawrence actually sings it in the film.
I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that S&S will be played either before or after Katniss's lullaby though.

I saw someone mention that the Effy(Kaya Scodelario) from Skins would have made a great Katniss, and I agree.
In the books, Kat was described as kind've scrawny and non-threatening looking, whereas Jennifer is not. Kaya is also really good at playing the mysterious type of girl and is a really good actress. Oh well though
