Creative Writing: Blog #2 (Specificity)
This scene is going to be from the movie, The Hunger Games. I know that many of you probably already watched the movie, read the book, or heart about from other people who watched the movie or read the book. The post might be a little bit of a cliché but, I really enjoyed reading this book and watching the movie. The Hunger Games is basically about Katniss Everdeen who volunteered as tribute to go to the hunger games. All of the tributes come together to kill each other until one of them is the only one alive. Katniss makes several friends throughout the movie, but one of the dearest to her heart is Rue. I chose the scene in this movie/book where Rue dies after getting shot in the back with an arrow.
I really liked the scene in the Hunger Games when they show Rue's death because, it brings out some of the main character's emotions that was not very evident in the rest of the book. At the beginning of the book, Katniss appeared to be the type of girl that was very tough and would not let anything get to her. But, seeing her break down into tears when she saw a girl that she barely knew die, it really said a lot about her personality and how vulnerable her emotions are. Although there was not much dialogue in the scene, the character's actions said a lot more than words would have in that situation. I also like how the author used a very simple scene in the movie/book of just a forest. The scene made the environment look very calming.

This scene made me emotional not going to lie. Rue being so little made it even harder to watch. The directors I think made it in a kind of slow motion so the person watching would get the full effect of the pain that Katniss feels.
ReplyDeleteThis scene made me sad when I first saw it. I agree with Caroline about the emotion in the scene. The director did do a good job with the sad emotions in this scene. The acting in this scene is well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is also one of my favorite scenes from the Hunger Games because it is so emotional. I like the choices that the director used to make the scene even more heartfelt. The acting in the scene is also well done.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh this is such a good scene! Rue is such a well developed character and it is sad to see her go. I like how you pointed out that the actions spoke louder than words in this scene.
