Mockingbird/Šoja

Citat:
A mockingjay is a bird that was created through mating of jabberjays and female mockingbirds. When Katniss Everdeen wore a pin with this bird on it in the 74th Hunger Games, the Capitol was angry as it represented a slight against them due to the mistake that caused their existence.

Citat:
Jabberjays are a type of muttation that consist of all male birds that were created in the Capitol labs to spy on enemies and rebels of the Capitol. Jabberjays had the ability to memorize and repeat entire human conversations, and were used as spies, to gather words and information from the rebels. Once the people in the districts realized how their private conversations were being transmitted, they used the jabberjays to feed lies to the Capitol.

Citat:
Originalni naslov filma, pa tudi knjige, po kateri je film posnet, je To Kill a Mockingbird. Pri slovenskem prevodu knjige je prišlo do majhne neskladnosti. V slovenščini imamo to izjemno knjigo Harper Lee izdano pod naslovom Ne ubijaj slavca. Mockingbird nikakor ni angleška beseda za slavca, pač pa pomeni ptico oponašalko ali ameriškega kosa. Zakaj se je prevajalec odločil za slavca namesto za oponašalko, mi ni znano. Nam je s ptico, ki je ljudem našega geografskega okolja bližja, hotel približati tudi knjigo samo in zbuditi večje zanimanje zanjo? Mogoče. Kakorkoli že, tega mu ne zamerim preveč. Slavec in oponašalka sta verjetno podobnega vedenja in tako za simboliko romana enako primerna.
