I watched the first hunger games movie in a Thai cinema. There is a scene where Katness (is that the main characters name...) breaks up with her boyfriend for some reason, neither of them is happy about it. The whole theater broke out in laughter, I have no clue why.
There must've been something weird in the translation there. I can't think of a "break-up" in the first book or film.
Its been a while, I might misremember the scene. Definitely between the two, and they have a heartfelt sad conversation. The movie was in English, just Thai subtitles, so I am sure I got the context right. Was a long time ago though.
There's a love triangle in the series. In the first film the Gale (boy who doesn't go to the games) and Katniss never discuss it, and Katniss and Peeta (boy in the games) put it on as an act to get people to support them in the games, though for Peeta it isn't really an act.
It's discussed openly in the sequels - usually with either Gale pining for Katniss and her saying she can't deal with relationship stuff with everything going on, or Peeta feeling hurt that Katniss turns it on for the cameras, but doesn't really love him.
While there aren't any overt break-up scenes in the later films, there's some break-up adjacent stuff in them. Maybe it was Catching Fire or Mockingjay part I?
