Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe statue of Lady Justice seen in the Capitol holds two swords instead of a sword and scales. This is reflective of how the Capitol views justice as a victory over the Districts instead of as a balance or equilibrium. She also wears no blindfold, indicating that the idea of justice in the Capitol is not blind to status or wealth and is a corrupt system.
- Goofs(at around 2h 5 mins) Before Coriolanus is about to jump on the truck to meet up with Lucy Gray, he is seen hiding behind another truck. The camera then pans to the gate which has stationed guards on the same side that he is hiding, meaning the guards should be able to see him hiding in plain sight.

Older Coriolanus Snow: [voice-over] It's the things we love most, that destroy us.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening scene, set during the "Dark Days", an unnamed man is seen apparently engaging in cannibalism; this character is (bizarrely) listed as "Respectable Man" in the closing credits.

Featured review
Good Movie, but lacked something!
I think it stayed as true to the book as the length of the movie would allow. There had to be a lot of adapting to fit 500+ pages in a 2.5 hour movie.
That being said, I don't think they did a great job of conveying Snow's internal struggle. Love vs His Future. Human Decency vs Power. His Past vs His Present. He was CONSTANTLY torn in the book.
Throughout the book, you wondered how he would eventually turn "bad". His journey and eventual decision makes sense and doesn't seem quick and sudden. There doesn't seem to be an obvious character arc in the movie that shows his change.
At the end of the movie, Snow's "betrayal" and reaction towards Lucy may seem confusing and rushed if you don't have background from reading the book. You don't really know how much Lucy means to him and how shocking that ending should be.
It's a good adaptation, but it's definitely not the best Hunger Games movie!
