+287 Gary Ross the director of Hunger Games did a great job showing there was violence but not actually showing the violence, amirite?

See, I felt completely opposite about that. Having read the books, obviously I was aware of the violence and I think that had a huge impact on me, but I was missing that same shock and thought-provoking-ness in the movie. I wish more battles or violence in general would have been shown, to prove a point, I think the movie would have been more powerful with it. I overall kiiiinda enjoyed the movie.. I guess, but I felt there was so much more that they could have done. Despite the movie being long, they didn't focus enough on life at district 12, Kat's relationships and the severity of the Games to really make a complete story arc at any of them. That's just my opinion, I'm well aware that a lot of people don't agree with it. Perhaps I'm just one of those people who criticizes movies too much because they memorized every detail of the books and was disappointed that the movie could not live up to the impossible standards set for it...- yeah that sounds like me.

This is like one of the sentences from a grammar book we do in school, where you have to fill in the missing punctuation.

Because bashing someone's head against the wall isn't violence.

When did that happen? I went to the midnight premier so I barely remember the move.

The guy from district 11 smashed the girl from one of the lower numbered districts' head into the wall of the cornucopia when she was attacking Katniss, and he did so as revenge for Roo.
