I don't think I've gotten hooked into full fledged dystopian literature. I just dont't think it's my thing. Nevertheless, this novel and movie I've found do-able, and I was quite pleased with this adaptation.
A few years I tried watching this movie without having read the book first--something I don't normally do--but I didn't get very far in the movie before giving up on it. I'm not sure if that's because it was dystopian or if it's because I hadn't read the book first. Maybe I am a "book first" kind of gal.
This adaptation was done very well--the costuming, the special effects, the art direction for the different social classes in this society--and I thought the end credits music the right style to play.
I just think I'm not into dystopian stories, or perhaps just not found the right flavor of one?
I was pleased with how they balanced indicating the violence without being too graphic in it's telling. I'm actually pleased they didn't try to re-create the fallen tributes into the animal faces.
I liked the bird calls.
