I don't know if you were as enthusiastic or "pumped" as I was last Thursday, but I must say it was with great reasoning. With all concentration pertaining to academics, work and a slew of other things slowly withering away as the day drew on, I couldn't help but just anxiously anticipate catching the "Hunger Games" midnight premiere. Safe to say, it was AMAZING and apparently I wasn't the only one who felt that way. "Hunger Games" had record-breaking munbers flood theaters with box office reporting $155 million over the the weekend. Despite the monumentous support ofr the film there also comes critixcs, knocking the film for leaving pivotal parts of the film out and other miniscule factors some didn't agree as with any other major motion picture.One bit of news I was disappointed to hear was occurances of a racial manner concerning some of the characters and the actor playing them. Various tweets expressing discontent with assigning characters "Rue" as well as "Cinna" were seen throughout the weekend on the social media website.
Here a liks to some of the tweets mentioned:

Some of those tweets were seriously disgusting. It's very disheartening that racism still exists today. Rue and Cinna were portrayed flawlessly; those people are just prejudice haters!
