Back in September, former Hypable writer Amanda wrote a great list of Hunger Games quotes she hoped would make the film.
Now we want to look back to see which made the cut!
What did make the film:
Gale Hawthorne:
“We could do it, you know . . . Leave the district. Run off. Live in the woods. You and I, we could make it.”
We saw this early on in the first trailers for the film.
Effie Trinket:
“May the odds be ever in your favor!”
Exactly where we hoped it would be, and Elizabeth Banks pulled it off brilliantly.
Katniss Everdeen:
“Listen to me. Are you listening to me? . . You can’t leave again . . . You can’t clock out and leave Prim on her own. There’s no me now to keep you both alive. It doesn’t matter what happens. Whatever you see on the screen. You have to promise me you’ll fight through it!”
Katniss says this to her mother in a rushed moment. It was emotional and packed a punch.
Haymitch Abernathy:
“Did I actually get a pair of fighters this year?”
Haymitch uses these words, or something very close to them, while speaking with Katniss and Peeta.
Cinna:
“Remember, girl on fire . . . I’m still betting on you.”
Cinna tells Katniss in the film that if he could bet, he’d bet on her. It’s a bittersweet moment beloved by fans.
What didn’t make the movie:
Madge Undersee:
“They let you wear one thing from your district in the arena. One thing to remind you of home. Will you wear this?”
Madge was cut from the film, though we do see a woman present Katniss the Mockingjay pin.
Peeta Mellark:
“You here to finish me off, Sweetheart?”
Though Katniss’ reunion with Peeta as he’s camouflaged is in the film, unfortunately this line is not.
Now it’s time to look ahead! What Catching Fire quotes do you hope make the film? Let us know in the comments, and we’ll use them in a future post!
