Well, what do you know. They're also remaking Suspicion.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I really need to read these books, although I kind of want to go into the movie unburdened.
I was quite surprised at the level of political cutthroatness that showed up in books intended for kids.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact the War Horse was originally a YA novel. About World War I. Not that I disapprove of these weighty subjects in novels for the younger set. Quite the opposite. Still... WWI. Heavy stuff.

Have you read The Book Thief ?

You should. YA novel narrated by Death, set in a German town during WWII.

Sean,
I actually think it would probably be a good idea for you to read the book first.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, Suela, that's exactly right. It can't be a metaphor for the thing if it is the thing, and we come down on the wrong side of it.

I was actually thinking it would be interesting to give each viewer an identity with their ticket, kinda the way the Holocaust Museum does it. Like, are you from the Capitol? Are you betting on the games? Or are you from a District, and which one? Do you know someone in the games?

Raq, that's a brilliant idea, and one way to undercut the problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think most viewers give enough of a fuck. There'd be a sliver of people who could grow to care that didn't before, but I figure the majority of the audience either already did or will not.
