The feature film adaption was released in March 2012. For the original novel, look [[The Hunger Games (
The film is directed by Gary Ross, and stars [[Jennifer Lawrence]] as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, and Donald Sutherland as President Snow.
----
=== In addition to those from [[The Hunger Games (
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: In the book, Katniss gets her pin from Madge. Madge wasn't in the movie, so it was a gift from Greasy Sae.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]:
Line 22:
** Due to medical treatments, Katniss's swollen Tracker Jacker stings completely vanish in the next scene. The cut she receives on her face all but vanishes in the next scene as well. For all the time she spends sleeping outside and fighting to the death, she still looks great by the end.
** Averted with Glimmer, who wasn't much of a glimmer anymore after {{spoiler|the Tracker Jackers were done with her.}}
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: {{spoiler|Due to letting two tributes win in the 74th Hunger Games, Seneca is given the option to commit suicide by eating some nightlock berries, while he was tortured and killed in the book}}. Which, given the context, is an example of [[Death
* [[Big Heroic Run]]: Played straight and subverted. Katniss runs to save Rue when she's caught in the Career's net trap, and then runs to find Peeta later on when she hears the gong signalling a Tribute death (which wasn't him).
* [[Black Dude Dies First]]: Averted. {{spoiler|Rue dies midway through the film, and Thresh is the next-to-last to fall.}}
Line 46:
** At first, the film's creators considered casting an actual teen in the lead role (among others, [[Saoirse Ronan]], [[Chloe Moretz]], and [[Hailee Steinfeld]] were considered for Katniss' part). They finally settled with 21-year old Jennifer Lawrence to play 16-year old Katniss. Liam Hemsworth (Gale, 18) was 21 during filming, while Josh Hutcherson (Peeta, 16) was 19. Leven Rambin (Glimmer, 18) was 21 at the time.
** Isabelle Furhman, who plays Career Tribute Clove, was 14 when they filmed. Peeta mentions that Careers are always 18 when they volunteer. That means that although Fuhrman is six years younger than Lawrence, she was playing someone two years older. Also averted by Jacqueline Emerson (Foxface) and Amandla Stenberg (Rue), aged 16 and 12 during production.
* [[Death
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Greasy Sae, Buttercup and Katniss' prep team. In addition, while the District 4 tributes weren't even important enough to get names in the book, the entire District gets demoted from being a Career District.
* [[The Ditz]]: Glimmer - for a Career, anyway.
Line 65:
* [[Fake American]]: Aussie Liam Hemsworth uses an American accent to play Gale. Panem is supposed to be located in North America.
* [[Fantasy Gun Control]]: No guns for either the candidates or law enforcement, probably to prevent Katniss from simply wasting every opposing force and ending the story in ten minutes.
* [[Game Breaker]]: [[In
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Foxface and Prim. Gale also recalls Katniss as a child with two braids instead of the one she wears now.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Katniss is deadly with a bow but when it comes to close combat she very quickly gets into trouble.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: [[Zig
* [[Guys Smash Girls Shoot]]: Katniss is a skilled archer, while Peeta is a wrestler whose main skill is physical strength. The rest of the Tributes fall into this as well.
* [[Hangover Sensitivity]]: When Katniss and Peeta meet Haymitch for the first time, he's more interested in continuing his drinking than giving advice, to the point of going back to his room.
Line 76:
* [[Hope Spot]]: In-universe; Snow explains to Seneca why giving the Districts "a little hope" is a more effective means of control than simply rounding up 24 children every year and executing them. Too MUCH hope, however, is dangerous.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]:
** In the [[The Hunger Games (
** Inverted with Glimmer's dress. In the book, she's described as wearing a translucent golden dress. However, in the movie, she girlishly bounces out on stage in a puffy white dress.
* [[How Dare You Die
{{quote| '''Katniss:''' Damn you Peeta, damn you!}}
* [[Huge Girl Tiny Guy]]: Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) is only a half inch taller than 5'7'' Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) but on screen the height difference looks more pronounced especially when they stand next to each other after first being announced as tributes. Hutcherson's height is regularly disputed, with some sources giving him as 5'5".
Line 126:
* [[Shining City]]: The Capitol. This is, however, a case of [[Light Is Not Good]] (see above).
* [[Ship Tease]]: Glimmer and Cato are seen cuddling while they sleep.
* [[Shout
* [[Show Within a Show]]: The Hunger Games themselves.
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Katniss to Peeta, when he got sick. But you do not get points for guessing this.
Line 140:
** Katniss, safely hidden in a tree, watches first hand a Tribute learn a cardinal rule about stealth in hostile territory the hard way: under no circumstances do you ''make a camp fire'' - [[Epic Fail|you'll be too easy for the enemy to spot]].
** Clove {{spoiler|giving a Hannibal Lecture to Katniss about her group having killed Rue rather than just killing her. Ends up badly for her when Thresh overhears.}}
* [[Too Clever
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: A minor one from the heavily-wounded {{spoiler|Cato}}, who snaps at the Capitol audience for seeing his impending death as entertainment and lapses into the realization that all he knows how to do is kill people. Then he snaps out of it and decides he can [[Taking You
* [[The Voiceless]]: Foxface maybe says a word or two (during her interview with Caesar but this is out of focus so it's hard to tell)
* [[Waistcoat of Style]]: Seneca Crane.
