Katniss's haircolor, while referred to often, really has no meaningful relationship to transitioning the story to film. I promise, promise, promise you that when you are watching the movie, her hair color will be meaningless if her acting is so bad that you can't get into the story. And let's face it, she'll be covered in coal dust and dirt most of the movie anyway.
Ultimately Katniss is a girl who had to grow up quick. She's not hard--she could have been a sweet girl--but she is calloused by her dismal situation. She's a strong person who risks everything for the people she loves. That is exactly the character Jennifer Lawrence played in Winter's Bone. And she rocked it.
So let's all calm down and judge her acting (hopefully she's great and we won't notice her acting at all!) instead of her hair color (in the age where anyone can dye their hair at home).

I haven't seen Winter's Bone or anything else Jennifer Lawrence was in so I really can't say that I'm upset about her. I will say that I don't care what color her hair is normally because that is what hair dye is for!
ReplyDeleteBut what I really wanted to say was thank you for posting on my blog about The Duff. I completely agree with you about how the alcoholism was handled at the end of the book. I really did bother me that it was resolved so easily after how far he had fallen. I didn't comment about it in my blog because I didn't want to allude to how bad it got and ruin that for people who hadn't read the book yet. Because for me when he started drinking I was shocked but then when it got as bad as it did I was speechless.
Thanks again for the comment though!

ReplyDeleteJL is unknown to me. I haven't seen anything she is done. I think the concern I was reading about more was the older cast they are going with. Either way, I'm excited to see this book transition to film.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for it to be released and they haven't even finished casting. Haha. Age doesn't bother me at all. Honestly, I think in this instance it's probably better to have someone older. Even though child actors grow up fast, I'm not convinced that a sixteen year old has the maturity of Katniss--who has basically been taking care of her family for years.
