It's better that you watch "The Hunger Games" full movie (one of the two or the "Catching Fire" may do) before you see "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" as it hits the big screen today to refresh your memory of the film's story. In this way, you will be able to follow the action.
But before you do, did you know that...
Jennifer Lawrence tricks co-star and bestfriend Liam Hemsworth each time they'll do kissing scene. He disclosed in an interview that "it was pretty uncomfortable". The scene seems to look like everything's perfect and oh-so-romantic but the truth is that "she would make a point of eating garlic or tuna fish or something that was disgusting".
Food is one big element in Suzanne Collins' books. District 12 is in short supply of food. According to io9, "in the novel, Katniss and Peeta spend most of their time on the train and in the Capitol stuffing their faces". However, in the movie, "we rarely see starving kids eat". Where's the lamb stew? Where's the reaping fish soup? Where's the goat cheese bread?
Watch 'The Hunger Games' full movie, regardless if you have seen it already or not. Look for the food mentioned in the book or better yet, check out the story again if either of the two installments highlighted food - or the scarcity of it.
Katniss Everdeen, as Forbes reported, doesn't know how to make her own bow. She did try but she gave up knowing that she's really not good at it. The bow she used in District 12 was made by her father.
Some actors were supposed to be cast in "The Hunger Games". Among them was Alex Pettyfer, who had already met with the producers about the likelihood of playing the role of Peeta Mellark. The same thing happens with Hunter Parrish, who was also being considered then as Peeta.
Watch "The Hunger Games" full movie and refresh your memory of its story before you watch "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1", which hits theaters today.
