Time made a list of the most influential characters of 2013.
Beyond leading Catching Fire to a gross of $600 million—and counting—the Hunger Games heroine (played by Jennifer Lawrence) is also inspiring several real-world product lines. Among them: the Nerf Rebelle line of guns, quivers and crossbows for girls, Lucas Hugh “Capitol Label” workout clothes, and a makeup line from CoverGirl.

I honestly have no idea what to say, other than Catching Fire was phenomenal. To be honest I was not expecting much at all. I was not a big fan of the first movie, and I did not think anybody could pick off from that and make Catching Fire good. I was wrong. Kudos to Francis Lawrence for making this movie not only true to the book, but entertaining in it's own right.
One thing I complained about last year was that the "vibe" of the movie was off. It's was too shiny for my taste. However this movie was filmed in a certain way that made you feel the pain, the gore, etc. without really seeing anything too gory. The flash of a dead rabbit or the victors gutting fish added a realistic effect to scenes.
Overall, the movie was an exceptional adaption of the books.

You can read the full interview here.
When I read people writing about the Hunger Games, there seems to be a split between people who read it as an allegory of the emotional experience of being an adolescent, and there are people who read it more literally as an exploration of the moral issues surrounding war and political oppression. Is it both? Are you comfortable with both?
Suzanne Collins: I have read so many interpretations. There’s a whole Christian allegory. There’s you know, I’ve seen people talk about it like Plato’s cave, which is really fun. I’ve seen an indictment of big government. I’ve seen, you know, the 99 percent kind of thing. I think people bring a lot of themselves to the book. When Hunger Games first came out, I could tell people were having very different experiences. It’s a war story. It’s a romance. Other people are like, it’s an action-adventure story.
You know, for me it was always first and foremost a war story, but whatever brings you into the story is fine with me. And then, of course, if a person interprets it as an adolescent experience or a Christian allegory, you can’t tell them they didn’t. That was their genuine response to it, and they’re going to have it, and that’s fine. You can’t both write and then sit on the other side and interpret it for people.
I can tell you that for me it was a war story. But it also has so many ethical issues because you’re dealing with war, and there’s all these other ethical issues surrounding with, you know, there’s violence, there’s war, there’s hunger, there’s the propaganda, there’s the environment’s been destroyed, there’s a ruthless government, misuse of power and all these other elements that come into play with it, and people may respond to ones that are most important to them, and you know other people came for the love story. That’s fine. Come for the love story, stay for the war.…There’s a remarkable scene where Katniss, she’s just heard about the Quarter Quell and she runs into the forest and just feels everything all at once. Tell me about that scene
FL: Well we shot it very, very quickly. We actually shot two days just outside of the city here in the Ramapo Mountains in New Jersey. In January, when Jen was on her tour for Silver Linings, you know, the Oscar campaign, we caught up with her and shot two days in the mountains. And it was about 9 degrees. It was freezing, freezing cold. Because it was so cold and because in that scene she’s not wearing a coat, I could only ask her to do it three or four times, and she had done a few takes where she had been screaming out, “No, no, no, no, no.” Then I asked her to do that silently, and that ended up being the take that we used.…Have you been surprised by what a big adult audience that book’s built?
SC: Oh yes. I didn’t anticipate that. I thought that I would maybe have my Gregor audience because they’d grown up into that YA audience, and then you know that handful of people who will read anything about dystopia, so it was a very pleasant surprise. I didn’t anticipate it.
Did you know when you were writing it that this was something very new and big?
SC: No.
Really?
SC: No. It’s just like writing everything else. I think of the early months, which was a lot of me sitting there reading survival books. None of which I can practice, but that I know academically now. And just, I worked on it just as I had worked on the Gregor books. I used the exact same process. And no, I didn’t have any sense of it being different.Now you’ve spawned an entire subgenre.
SC: I don’t think I can take credit for that.
You can! Go ahead, take it.
SC: Well, I just think the dystopian stories are striking a nerve with people right now, and the Hunger Games contributed somewhat to that, but that can’t be the whole explanation for it. It’s something that’s going on within the culture. I think people respond to dystopian stories because they’re ways of acting out anxieties that we have and fears that we have about the future. And so much media’s coming at you and so much stuff comes at you over the Internet, your brain gets overloaded, you don’t know what to do with it. And one thing you can do with it is to spend a story or read a story. I mean I think of dystopian literature as being cautionary tales, and it’s a way you can kind of frame it and try to make sense and kind of set it outside yourself but look at the issues involved.…What are you working on now, now that you’re free to work on things without financial concerns?
SC: Well, I probably have a few more rounds of notes on the last script, and the picture book has just come out, but it’s done. I have a new piece I’m playing around with, and it’s very new so I can’t give you the specifics of it, and we’ll just see where it goes. It may go nowhere. Right now it’s extremely complicated, and it would have to simplified a good deal to make it into a narrative. The world is complex. We’ll see.
