Fans of
The Host have eagerly awaited the movie's release and it is hard to believe it is finally here! Showtimes begin tonight at 9 and I'm sure some fans are already making their way to the theater. I saw the movie twice last month and again this week, but have not really had the chance to discuss it with many people. I am curious to see how fans and general moviegoers react to the movie and would love to hear your opinions.
Below are a couple starting points, but feel free to discuss whatever you would like. Obviously there will be spoilers in the comments, so read them at your own risk.
Discussion Questions:
1. Did you read The Host prior to seeing the movie?
2. Are you a Stephenie Meyer/ Twilight fan?
3. Overall rating on a 5 star scale?
4. Favorite/least favorite character(s) or actor(s)?
5. If you read the book, how successful do you think the movie is as an adaptation?
6. If you read the book, what changes did you like? Anything left out you would have like to see?
7. If you have not read the book, do you think the movie is successful for non-fans?
8. Were the filmmakers/Saoirse Ronan successful in portraying two separate characters?
9. Comments the costumes, sets, cinematography, score, etc.
10. Would you watch a sequel?
These are just starter questions and you do not have to address all of them in your response. Everyone opinions are valued, so please be respectful of each other and keep your language clean.
The nominees for the 2013 Teen Choice were announced earlier today and Saoirse Ronan scored The Host's only nomination. Ronan is nominated for "Choice Movie Actress: Sci-Fi/ Fantasy" along with Mila Kunis (Oz the Great and Powerful), Gwyneth Paltrow (Iron Man 3), Kristen Stewart (Breaking Dawn Part), and Michelle Williams (Oz the Great and Powerful).
