Pelo menos no livro, parece que o Capitol pode e corta cenas que eles não querem mostrar:
Jogos Vorazes (Livro 1), Parte II "Os Jogos" , Ch. 18:
Slowly, one stem at a time, I decorate her body in the flowers. Covering the ugly wound. Wreathing her face. Weaving her hair with bright colors.
They’ll have to show it. Or, even if they choose to turn the cameras elsewhere at this moment, they’ll have to bring them back when they collect the bodies and everyone will see her then and know I did it. I step back and take a last look at Rue. She could really be asleep in that meadow after all.
“Bye, Rue,” I whisper. I press the three middle fingers of my left hand against my lips and hold them out in her direction. Then I walk away without looking back.
Os Jogos Vorazes (Livro 1), Parte III "O Vencedor" , Ch. 27:
They play her death in full, the spearing, my failed rescue attempt, my arrow through the boy from District 1’s throat, Rue drawing her last breath in my arms. And the song. I get to sing every note of the song. Something inside me shuts down and I’m too numb to feel anything. It’s like watching complete strangers in another Hunger Games. But I do notice they omit the part where I covered her in flowers.
Right. Because even that smacks of rebellion.
A capital não mostrou o ato de Katniss cobrindo o corpo de Rue com flores ou sua saudação. Mas o enterro floral deve ter sido mostrado quando os corpos foram apanhados. Não é abordado no livro, mas enquanto as ações dos tributos são monitoradas e editadas para possíveis atos sediciosos, a recuperação dos corpos pode ser observada com menos cuidado.
