I recently reread Catching Fire and then watched the movie. As always I am so disappointed that so many great Everlark moments are completely left out of the movie. The Cheese bun time, the rooftop picnic and just want to spend every last minute with you scene to name a few. But then I started thinking about the Everlark scenes that did make it into the film and how even those didn’t live up to the book. I kind of feel robbed a second time. The movie seems to skip some of the subtle warmth and affection between Katniss and Peeta. Here are some examples:
Cinna and Portia arrive with the dawn, and I know Peeta will have to go. Tributes enter the arena alone. He gives me a light kiss. “See you soon,” he says.
“See you soon,” I answer.
I look at the others' sober faces. Now Finnick, Johanna, and Beetee have all lost their district partners. I cross to Peeta and wrap my arms around him, and for a while we all stay silent.
I know it's stopped when I feel Peeta's hands on me, feel myself lifted from the ground and out of the jungle. But I stay eyes squeezed shut, hands over my ears, muscles too rigid to release. Peeta holds me on his lap, speaking soothing words, rocking me gently. It takes a long time before I begin to relax the iron grip on my body. And when I do, the trembling begins.
After a while I rest my head against his shoulder. Feel his hand caress my hair.
I take Peeta's face in my hands. “Don't worry. I'll see you at midnight.” I give him a kiss and, before he can object any further, I let go and turn to Johanna. “Ready?”
