Editorial

Often, movie adaptations of books result in disgruntled fans — those who know every detail and want nothing left out, nothing changed, in order to pre- serve the whole, exact story in its transi- tion to the silver screen. But when Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games” debuted March 23, it was actually a consistency with the text that upset some viewers. The Hunger Games for which the book is named are put on by the Capitol of Panem, a fictional version of North America made up of 12 Districts. They are a competition in which 24 “tributes” from the 12 Districts must fight to the death as a reminder that their respective Districts must never again try to over- throw the Capitol, as happened once in their history. One beloved character forced to fight for her life in these dreaded annual “Games” is Rue. She’s a sweet and swift, clever 12-year-old who becomes close friends with main character Katniss Everdeen. She’s small and slight, with “dark brown skin and eyes.” A character beau- tiful in both demeanor and looks. But her race seems to have come as a surprise to some moviegoers, who turned to to voice their frustra- tions and make racist comments, some unaware that the character they had pre- viously loved had, in fact, always been dark skinned. One Twitter user tweeted “why is Rue a little black girl? #sticktothebookDUDE @TheHungerGames,” while another said Rue’s skin color made her death less painful to watch. “Kk call me racist but when I found out rue was black her death wasn’t as sad #ihatemyself,” the user tweeted.
