At the press screening I attended, everyone sniffled!<br />Also, I liked the revolt shown in response to Rue's death. Some felt it was stereotypical portrayal of a violent POC, but I felt it was righteous. It gave me chills.Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989862745571420807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20947239.post-42748868123781203632012-04-07T21:27:25.749+01:002012-04-07T21:27:25.749+01:00They shortchanged Rue and her relationship with Ka...They shortchanged Rue and her relationship with Katniss. Movie!Rue is just a hairs breath away from being a "Magical Negro" who is only there to help Katniss heal & become a more sympathetic character.<br /><br />IN THE BOOK, Rue & Katniss have a much more symbiotic relationship. They talk about each other's districts and this is mentioned how this simple act would be considered transgressive. We get to know more about Rue and the district she comes from and how it very much seems to mirror the slave south.<br /><br />While I still felt the tenderness between the two while on screen, I wish they would've fleshed that out so that non-book readers could feel it too.<br />It was SO VERY IMPORTANT to so many to see Rue, Thresh, & Cinna existing that we want to give them every bit.<br /><br />I just wish they'd made it 3hrs! or 15 minutes longer...Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989862745571420807noreply@blogger.com
