Springfield, MO- Ozark audiences were wowed by the dystopian young adult novel turned movie “The Hunger Games”, but mostly because they thought it was a sequel to “Winter’s Bone” due to many factors. The confusion was caused because the actress starred in both movies and the setting of District 12 is exactly like Ozarks.
“Whoa, what?,” says Greg Allens, an audience member. “You mean that wasn’t Ree with dyed hair? I swear she lived in the same house, and she had a sister and everything. It has got to be a sequel.”
“Some people thought the movie was gruesome, but not me. I mean in the original Ree gets beat up and has to cut hands off a corpse,” states audience member Kate Smith. “So, it was no big deal with a guy gets eaten by wolves.”
When people asked about the name change they stated such excuses such as: “I forgot her name was Ree in the first place”, “Ree is short of Katniss somehow”, “people change names off all the time” and “I was methed out of my mind so I didn’t really care.” When audience members realized “Hunger Games” was a stand alone movie, they felt cheated and disappointed.
“Well crap. I was totally rooting for Ree because I thought if she won that stupid game she would finally get the house,” states Marvin Crane. “At least I can see the sequel to Sherlock Holmes where he ate that robot suit.”
