Reading a great book with a great story doesn't only inspire the readers, but it also inspires the filmmakers that see a potential project in the making. Once it has come to life on the big screen it is normally a dream come true to the people that love the books seeing these stories adapt to film and putting a face to the characters' names. But there are frequently modifications made when you take a book and make it a movie. There are details that go out the window, plots that are modified, characters are different than you imagined. Suddenly before you realize, you become the world's toughest film critic. Recently, The Hunger Games came to theaters and already had some mixed opinions. Being a fan of the Games myself, there was one particular detail that stood out to me. The way the men and women from the Capitols skin was portrayed. The way their skincare seemed throughout the book was so much more distinct and unique than they made it in the movie.
Suzanne Collins, the brains behind the whole operation of The Hunger Games series, had a way of making every single thing so specifically detailed to letting it primarily be a piece of cake to picture the characters in our minds. You would think that Hollywood has an endless sum of money to make any type of movie they want and have the power to make these details come to life. It came to a disappointing surprise that they didn't let their imaginations run like the creator of the book and let the details become a reality.
The Capitol was a place in the series where the wealthiest people lived that were in touch with the latest generation they were living in (the future). What was well-known and trendy to do was only performed in this city based on the lavish lives they were able to live. Collins made it essential in the books that these peoples way of being diverse and fashionable was based more so on their skincare and make-up rather than their clothing. Not saying their clothing wasn't imagined as utterly obnoxious as well, but Collins made it well known how ridiculously different they were compared to the poor people that lived in Districts 1 through 12.
The way that the people of the capitol showed off their power and their fortune was by how they had their skin. Some people had tattoo designs all over their bodies and face, some dyed their skin different colors and some even implanted diamonds and whiskers, believe it or not, to make them seem literally rich and animal like. The way that they took care of their skin truly showed the differences between their people and the poor, standard men and women of the Districts and the fact that the producers didn't even try to make it different throughout the film, really puzzled me to no end.
The understanding that books are usually better than the movies and is a lot more detailed, so it is no wonder that the movies often leave things out. But what I can't wrap my brain around is how simple details that make a story so much greater are left out for no good reason. Being that it is 2012 we are more than capable of thinking outside of the box and really wowing the audiences with all the choices special effects gives the filmmakers. Over all it was a letdown to watch and see the book being shown as an underwhelming blockbuster rather than an astounding series with an exciting story just merely come to life.
