...uh. Laughter notwithstanding, if you had fun watching the movie, you had fun watching kids forced to slaughter each other. THG didn't become popular by asking audiences to spend a couple hours in Respectful Contemplation of Serious, Realistic Issues.

I would have felt bad about it if it wasn't all "Nameless extra is killed in a flurry of jittery, bad camerawork!". If we'd actually gotten to KNOW them (as in Battle Royale), we might have cared. As it was, I was just... bored. I couldn't identify with any of the characters (except maybe Gale and Haymitch - and I'm female).

also, both book & film conveniently avoided having Our Heroes forced to kill anyone who wasn't an unsympathetic asshole--or even kill anyone outright, except for Katniss killing that one guy who killed Rue.

Battle Royale had its own problems, but it felt more realistic in terms of the scenario. People who liked each other killed each other anyway; most characters were sympathetic and died just as horribly as the unsympathetic characters; everyone was freaking out and panicking all the time.

incidentally, I was laughing hysterically off & on watching the film of Battle Royale, but that was part of my reaction to it. "ahahahahahaaaaaa what even just happened jesus christ"
