The attitude of the film was different from my book I tended to view the events straight-on, humorlessly, in a straight point-to-point progression (you have to remember that the genesis of Carrie was no more than a short story idea), while I think De Palma saw a chance to make a movie that was a satirical view of high school life in general and high school peer-groups in particular. I liked De Palma’s film of Carrie quite a bit. Here's his full quote from the former chat: King, like most, is a big fan of Brian De Palma's movie, saying in a 1978 interview with Cinefantastique that he " liked De Palma’s film of Carrie quite a bit."

Lawrence, along with screenwriters Michael Hardt and Suzanne Collins herself, manages to weave in all of the necessary set up to the upcoming war against The Capitol without it feeling tedious or heavy-handed. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that this installment of the hit franchise, directed by industry rookie Francis Lawrence, was maybe even more engaging than its predecessor. The Hunger Games reads like a screenplay-Catching Fire is a meandery epic full of worldbuilding and exposition for a war that won't even begin until Mockingjay.
