In the book after Katniss found Peeta and was trying to save his life I received a feeling that she was starting to fall in love with him. She talks about the warm feeling she gets when she kisses him through her whole body, she also makes comment that it is not the fever she is feeling. This shows how she can be a softer more feminine person than she is shown to be throughout the story. In the cave with Peeta she is more vulnerable and willing to open up to him. I do believe some of this is for the audience and to get sponsors, but I think she trusts Peeta and wants him to actually know things about her, she does have feelings for Peeta whether she would admit it or not. Peeta and Katniss being stuck in the cave together for such a long time is a big building block for the relationship they have throughout the whole series I believe.
In the movie the relationship between Peeta and Katniss is not played out as much. I think them being in the cave together gives you a better understanding for Katniss and allow you to see another side of her. In the movie I do not believe you get a sense that Katniss is falling for Peeta as much as you do in the book. She is still shown as a harsh, not as caring person. If I would have just watched the movie and never read the book I would have hated Katniss and thought she only cared about herself.
One similarity I saw between the book and the movie was the Capitol. When you read about it in the book you have to use your imagination to get a picture of what it would look like. I think the movie did a great job of showing it like the book describes it. Along with the Capitol the Hunger Games start in the Capital and the book and the movie seem to be right on with each other as how they decorate the tributes and parade them through the Capital.
