That racist movie - The Hunger Games...

You racist fucks should learn the meaning of this metaphor.
panem et circenses.

Well it looks like this thread is derailed. But regardless yes the movie is racist and cast the wrong character's for the role. It's a slanderous evil, entertaining movie.

Those have to be troll posts. I mean, I know humans are mostly retarded, but damn! These are supposed to be people who have actually read the books, right?

The only physical description is that he had brown hair, and wore gold eyeliner that set off the gold flecks in his green eyes.

This is what I remember as well. Katniss was expecting a flamboyant Capital type character before she met Cinna. Instead Cinna was very mellow and Katniss found him very normal. His only hint at Capital extravagance is his gold eyeliner. I think many readers that interpreted Cinna as flamboyant were simply projecting gay stereotypes on a creative character that uses words like "fabulous."

As for Rue, I thought she was dark skinned with long blond hair. I no longer have the book so I can't find any description that would make me think that. But honestly I don't see what difference it makes casting her as a black girl. The relationship that Katniss and Rue have is powerful and important to the story. As long as that is properly conveyed, the race of the character is unimportant.

Forget the race question in this franchise. The absence of God should be more troubling for anyone who proclaims themselves a Christian. Yet again, like Harry Potter, we have the one hero who can save. But only Jesus can save.

A lot have described this movie/book as a cautionary tale. Do you think it's going to change anything? No. People will just go back to playing Facebook games or staring at their iPads/cell phones and standing in line, waiting for the TSA to fondle them. At any rate we already have a real life cautionary tale in the stories from Nazi Germany.

i'm confused. so now they're being oppressed by the hunger games? i'm afraid there just aren't enough tears in the world for this race of pussies.

Is saying dog, caninist?

Do you hear the words that are coming out your mouhts?

Skin color has no relevance in the Kingdom. Your color can't save you, quit worshiping it!!!

Jesus is no respector of persons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im rereading the book, and it says that Rue has black skin and dark eyes, but her personality is that of Primm's. I dont see anything racist in the hunger games, just like I dont see it being evil. As a Christian, I get sick and tired of other christian who thinks everything is evil and being satantic, people its time to adapt, and not everything is evil. If you cant see the good in something over than your bible.
