The absence of Twill and Bonnie Early in the book, Katiniss meets Twill and Bonnie during a hunting trip to the woods. They have run away from their district, and are seeking refuge in District 13, which Katniss believes no longer exists. These characters have been eliminated from the film. Why it's important: The possibility of the existence of District 13 is only revealed at the end of the film, but Twill and Bonnie's revelation in the book provides a little bit of hope for Katniss.
She eventually realizes that the Capitol is using old footage from that district in their news reports — a foreshadowing of its existence.
The absence of Darius In addition to Twill and Bonnie, one other important character is eliminated from the film: Darius, a kind-hearted peacekeeper who steps in when Gale is being beaten in the book. He is knocked down by the peacekeepers who are whipping Gale and is eventually turned into an Avox — a person punished for treason — in the Capitol.
Why it's important: In the book, it's clear that some of the peacekeepers are not as violent and evil as the others. Darius attempted to save Gale's life and was punished for it. The Capitol removes his tongue and makes him into a servant — one who Katniss encounters when she visits the Capitol later on. The reason for Gale's whipping In the book, Gale is reportedly taken into the town square and whipped for hunting, which is against the law.
In the film, Gale is beaten when he tries to prevent the peacekeepers from beating up an innocent victim in District Why it's important: The film turns Gale into more of a hero for standing up for others, while the book features him simply getting caught due to the ever-present need for food.
Several of the other tributes were in on the plan. However, Katniss isn't pleased to learn that Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. As Katniss feels betrayed that Peeta was allowed to be captured, she gets upset and attacks Haymitch, but Plutarch sedates her.
When Katniss awakens, Gale is beside her. Katniss asks about her mother and Prim, and Gale says they are safe that he got them out in time.
Katniss is confused by what Gale means by getting them out in time, and Gale explains that District 12 was firebombed out of existence. The parents' guide to what's in this movie.

Minority Report. Violent sci-fi detective movie isn't for the faint of heart. Katniss is forced to wear her wedding dress by President Snow, but her stylist and friend Cinna designed it to burn away when she twirled, revealing a Mockingjay dress underneath, symbolizing the rebellion.
This infuriates President Snow. Peeta follows this up by lying that he and Katniss married secretly and are expecting a child, throwing the audience into uproar. Finally, the tributes join hands in a show of unity among the districts, defying the Capitol. The interview is abruptly cut off, but the Games are still on.
Effie bids Katniss and Peeta a surprisingly emotional farewell despite her Capitol background, saying they deserved better and that she is sorry.
Katniss reminds Haymitch of his promise to help keep Peeta alive, and he gives her one last piece of advice: "When you're out in that arena, remember who the real enemy is.
Seconds before Katniss is to be launched into the Games, Peacekeepers enter the room and brutally beat Cinna unconscious and drag him away, which she is forced to watch in horror. She is lifted into a jungle arena, with the Cornucopia at the center of a massive saltwater lake divided into wedges by twelve narrow stone paths. After an initial battle on reaching the Cornucopia, Katniss teams up with Finnick Odair and Mags because Finnick is wearing a gold bracelet belonging to Haymitch, indicating she should trust Finnick.
The Careers immediately form their own alliance. After Finnick retrieves Peeta and they pick up weapons, they head into the jungle. President Snow, watching the Games with Plutarch, is already growing impatient. Plutarch reassures him he just wants the audience to see Katniss turn cold-blooded. Snow tells him he can proceed however he prefers, as long as the Games finish with Katniss dead. Meanwhile, during the Hunger Games, Katniss sees a shimmer of the force field and just as she warned Peeta, he hits the force field at the edge of the arena, which stops his heart, until Finnick is able to revive him, to Katniss's relief.
During the night, a thick, poisonous fog appears. Mags bravely sacrifices herself, to Finnick's grief, so that the other three can outrun the fog, which abruptly halts after a certain distance. They rest in the forest, but are soon attacked by a pack of vicious mutt mandrills.
Peeta is unexpectedly saved when the woman from District 6, a morphist, sacrifices herself. They escape to the beach, and are met by Wiress, Beetee, and Johanna at dawn. Wiress is in shock after they went through a section of the arena that rained blood; Beetee is injured and carrying a strange coil of wire. Wiress discovers that the arena is designed like a clock and every hour a specific attack occurs in its designated section, communicating this by repeating the same phrase: "Tick, tock".
The twelve-hour section is pointed to by the tail of the Cornucopia, where a lightning storm strikes around a huge tree. The six allies go to the Cornucopia to view the clock system more closely, but they are suddenly ambushed by the Careers.
Wiress is fatally stabbed by Gloss, but Katniss shoots Gloss in the heart and Johanna kills Cashmere with her axe; Brutus and Enobaria escape. In the control room, Plutarch Heavensbee sets the Cornucopia island spinning to confuse the tributes' ability to tell time, but when Katniss falls off the island and seems about to drown, he abruptly halts. After recovering their weapons, the alliance regroups on the beach.
Katniss and Finnick are accidentally drawn into a section of the clock inhabited by jabberjays which scream identically to their loved ones, torturing them for an hour.
Later, Peeta and Katniss discuss leaving the alliance. Katniss knows they will have to fight them once the Careers are dead and she doesn't want to kill Finnick or Beetee, but she must to keep Peeta alive.
Peeta agrees they will leave the alliance after midnight, then mentions that whatever deals she made with Haymitch to keep him alive, Haymitch made promises to Peeta too. Peeta reasons that if Katniss died, he would have nothing to live for, and there are people at home who need her, whereas nobody needs him.
Katniss counters that she does need him, and kisses him passionately, no longer acting. Watching from the control room, President Snow shows satisfaction, agreeing that Plutarch predicted accurately that Katniss would reach this point and sacrifice herself.
