It was absolute torture seeing what the capital was capable of in this film. Was so sad to see the destruction and chaos that only fuelled the rebellion. The end though was just too much. Enjoy :)

Hey Marshmallows! Just a heads up that I somehow cut out my reaction and some of Finnick's dialogue about being sold in the capital. I mention it in part 2 as you'll see soon but thought I'd let you know since sooo many of ya'll are commenting about it. Have a most splendid day!
Gale took one of the planes with his cross bow thats y it exploded Katniss just hit 1 and it crashed into the other and the bombers took out the hospital on the first pass
Okay! Im good with that,
Jennifer Lawrence pretending to be a bad actress is and will always be absolutely hilarious.
Peeta in the first movie said : “I don’t want them to change me…I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don’t own me. If I’m going to die, I want to still be me.” The one thing Peeta wanted, the one thing he held onto during the games, was taken away from him. His identity. Who he is. Who he loves. He’s become a piece for the Capitol to use. A puppet.
and later the one thing Katniss wanted was taken away from her. Although things end up working out for the better, at what cost?
Es que duele mucho. No es justo lo que le pasó 😢😢😢
This is exactly what I was thinking...
I forgot HOW vile that was for them to do to him specifically. Brilliant comment
why did this just hit me?! i am UNWELL 😭💔 reading the hunger games has changed me forever. there's so many emotions going through me right now and do much i could say but im at a loss for words after this comment. literally got me tearing up in a publix parking lot. 😵💫
"It takes ten times longer to put yourself back together than the time it takes to fall apart."
Finnick unironically saved me with these words.
I've been struggling with depression for all my freaking life, but this line, short but true and powerful, always takes me back from the verge of a very dark pit.
I can say the same for "Sam's speech" to Frodo. Keep hanging in there. You have survived 100% of the storms you have gone through, and you will make it through the next one, too. I promise. 🫶🏼🫂 ;
Yes, Suzanne's depiction of mental health in the Hunger Games (depression, suicidal thoughts, PTSD) is so perfect and it's never played for a joke. What a wonderful, respectful writer
@@melomesocksi hope you're not being sarcastic, because i just started reading the HG series
@@kingofdragons7 nope!! 100% genuine, i love suzanne vry vry much
Very powerful line. Another I love is:
"Ironic, isn't it? What takes 100 years to create...destroyed in a single day."
Effie's role being expanded for the film adaptation was the best change they've made ❤
Is Effie not in this book?
@@dobby1327 she is not in Mockingjay until the very end. In the books, Effie is replaced with her style team. And without spoiling anything there’s no way they could’ve stuck to the book and kept this movie PG-13. It was a desperately needed change to keep the movie from being rated R.
@@katiedidd7825my friend please spoil 😂 I want to know sooooo bad
@@orlandocast7941 LOTS OF SPOILERS BELOW 👇 TURN BACK NOW IF YOU WANT TO READ THE BOOKS!!
******* the reason why Mockingjay specifically would be rated R is because we get to see the bloody carnage and what district 13 is really like. Katniss style team got captured by the rebels. District 13 kept any capital citizens were held as prisoners of war. The scene after where she was demanding immunity for the victors is where she found her style team locked up in a cage, tied up, beaten, naked and made to use the bathroom in a floor drain. Katniss demanded that her style team be free from the torture chamber.
This prompted Gale and Katniss’s first fight. Gale was pissed that she had sympathy for them.
Effie, being a guest among 13 is the least faithful adaption, but it was one of the most welcome. That book is too damn bleak.
Other spoilers include:
Joanna has no family because she refused to be a sex slave Victor. Snow killed her family in retaliation.
Peeta and Joanna are being tortured by watching Avoxes be slaughtered limb-by-limb
Joanna is bald from how she was tortured- she wouldn’t say where the rebels were, so they water boarded her head in a tub with an electric current running through the water.
Finnick behaves sexually inappropriate as a means of flirting, but in a very uncomfortable way. His Catching fire costume was just a fishing net wrapped around his waist, and nothing else. He started the stripping scene that only Joanna does to make fun of Katniss' prudishness. All the victors got naked to tease her. The entire capital wanted to buy him at 14, but Snow wouldn't allow it until he turned 16. (How merciful).
Annie is mentally insane. She is the most unstable person in the entire series. She was reaped at 18 and she watched her male tribute partner get decapitated. She never recovered from that. I’m guessing that’s why they didn’t play up her mental illness.
The force field is used to prevent the tributes from committing suicide. It’s not like in battle Royale, where they had a choice. You must fight. If you attempted suicide, the force field would just put you back up on the ledge.
The bodies are taken out of the arena so they won’t be cannibalized.
The capital has legitimate, betting odds against the tributes. The original movie does show the betting odds for a split second so you can see that Rue has 60:1 odds of winning.
Hunting is illegal, but they both do it anyway to survive.
Katniss trained Prim to sell cheese from her goat so she would have a skillset and not have to prostitute for food to a peacekeeper after she turned 18. Katniss and Gale put their names in dozens of times for each ineligible family member who was too young/old for more food. You cannot get extra government rations over 18 or under 12.
I did not expect to write that novel.
@@katiedidd7825 thank you for the explanation!
When finnick was giving the interview (at least book wise) he wasn't stalling at all. Remember when he told Katniss, back in Catching Fire, that he never deals with money when being paid, but actually with secrets. Secrets were his currency. In the interview he spills the tea not only about Snow using poison to kill his enemies, but about a lot of known people in the Capitol. I'm sure that was perfect for distraction because everyone was either curious to know everybody's secret or scared shitless to have him spill their secrets on national television.
So…stalling?
Unpopular opinion, but this is probably my favorite of the series. The tone, the politics, the bravery, the manipulation, and most of all the brutal depiction of the cost of war no matter whose side comes out on top. So many films use the backdrop of war as a means of glorifying an individual or a cause without allowing room to show real traumatic impact. It's a breath of fresh air to have a massively popular series choose a more realistic depiction, even if some aspects of the story are pure fantasy.
Same! It's my favorite
I agree too! I flip back and forth between catching fire and this one because I am a big sucker for everlark moments and we get the most of that content in catching fire but as the years have passed this one has slowly creeped it's way up in my ranking! It's truly the first time we get to sit with the trauma from the games in it's full capacity and how that has effected Katniss and the others. It is also the first time we can actually start to root for a more hopeful future. Plus acting wise I think some of the best acting in the franchise is in this movie! The fire is catching speech will forever send chills down my spine.
I couldn’t agree more, this film is essential to connect fantasy to reality. The acting was also spot on.
it's my least favorite since it is a bit slow, but theres so many good things within it, the revolution makes sense, this was a very important step and needed for the movie
Absolutely agree, my favourite of them all ❤
“Fire is catching and If we burn you burn with us” GETS me everytime. Goosebumps and tears immediately
Same I get goosebumps and then a fire in my belly is lit 🔥 and tears as well. It also makes me want to fight and it’s not even real it’s fiction. 😢❤
same especially when the people from Johannas district say it before bombing the peace keepers something about it just hit and makes me feel both empowered and sad at the sad time also when the rebels are marching to the dam while singing Katniss' song gives me goosebumps every single time and makes me cry, I remember watching it in theaters and that scene made me sob
RANDOMLY capitalizing specific WORDS is pointless AND makes you look INBRED
That moment in the books is one of the most visual moments I’ve ever felt reading a book. So much emotion.
Peeta's fate is extra-tragic when you remember that back before the first Games, he specifically said he wanted to make sure the Capitol didn't change him into something he's not. "If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me."
and that he volunteered in Haymitchs’ place 😭
So glad you’re not reluctant to be vulnerable in your reactions. Makes it feel much more real and authentic. Appreciate you man 🤙🏻
And it's not over the top or exaggerated. I enjoy watching genuine reactions.
Ya know you can fake cry right? XD I mean it’s hard to cry naturally I mean (incoming random game bad ending reference joke XD) like Spyro from Spyro dawn of the dragon didn’t cry when the golem yanks and pulls up and eats him (Spyro) without his plot armor XD😈❤🤭😂😏😜😉 Even a dragon getting flung and eaten couldn’t cry that he’s dead XD because crying takes a lot of energy and it’s not easy sometimes even when you’re about to become a servant golems dinner XD😈😜
@@Golems_victory wtf are you talking about
@@Golems_victorywtf are you talking about be quiet
@@crispy_338 epic quick time event fail stuff my boi XD also it’s an argument about that crying is hard. If Spyro couldn’t cry at his destruction that shows crying isn’t easy.
Did you catch what Finnick revealed about victors who were considered "desirable" being sold as sex slaves after winning the games and if they refused Snow killed someone they loved? Finnick was 14 when he won the games, youngest ever, and he was being sold ever since.
And the heart wrenching realization of what Joanna said in Catching Fire about having nobody left that she loves.
@@MichelleMerinoArt Yeah, definitely. A lot of people interpret that to mean she refused to be sold, though I'm not sure I remember that ever being directly stated. I do think the line clearly indicates that for some perceived defiance, Joanna's loved ones were killed. Maybe related to sex slavery, maybe to something else. But it is pretty likely that Snow wanting to sell Katniss and Peeta's love story is probably the only thing that saved them from the same treatment (though they were still slaves to protect their loved ones).
A él no lo vendieron si no hasta que cumplió 16 pero si, es completamente horrible lo que les hacían a los vencedores
He catched it, he mentions it in his reaction to the finale
@@MichelleMerinoArt It is mentioned in the books that Joanna and Haymitch refused Snow's requests, and they both lost everyone they cared about in return. I'm sure others did the same. I don't remember much more than that ... time for another re-read, I think.
That white suit Peeta is wearing in those interviews. The collar a perfect touch. How the middle comes to that point, almost as if the capital is holding a knife to his throat.
I didn't notice that before and now I can't unsee it. What a perfect touch.
That’s such an interesting observation! You made me look up all the broadcasting clips lol. To add to that, on the last broadcast where he gives the warning his collar is turned to the side, maybe him fighting the brainwashing and his unsteady mental state?
It could also be interpreted as a tracker jacker stinger since they used the venom to hijack his memories
The Hanging Tree Song has so much more depth than you might think. It's tightly connected to President Snow's origin story which is explained in the prequel book "A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes", the movie will actually come out this month
I have that song on my Spotify playlist
Think of how Snow felt when he heard Katniss singing it (if you already know the whole story)
Even Peeta’s outfit reminds me of a glamorized straight jacket. The collar literally looks like it’s choking out his identity with that pointed piece in the front. His only wish was to die by his own terms and to not be changed and the Capitol took that one sliver of hope from him. It’s so vile and the books also do an incredible job of describing his appearance, but it’s an entirely new shock to see it in cinematic form. Makes me shiver
Josh Hutchinson has stated MANY times that the character transfer from “Catching Fire” Peeta to “Mockingjay Pt 1” Peeta was his favorite dive into a character ever, he decided to actually lose weight, and it shows.
11:23 I swear you are one of the ONLY reactors I have seen that catch the fact Plutarch manipulated Effie's pride here. Most people get hyped about Effie's response and don't seem to notice Plutarch was using his Game Maker skills.
In the books, Peeta's whole family actually died when they attacked district 12. He had also had young siblings. It was very sad, even though he wasn't seemingly very close with his family.
His father was kind but Peet's mother was abusive.
He had older brothers, not younger.
@@Amsayy you're right. I was thinking of gales siblings
"waffling" and finnick is talking about being sex trafficked by snow help 😭
I was like oop he missed something lol
literally
@lkcullen1918 since everyone can't comprehend not every moment is shown on these reactions, he made a pinned comment that yeah he knows about Fennick. You can still "waffle on" about the truth - you still need to keep talking as long as possible.
Yeah, that made me cringe too
The Capitol did so many horrible things throughout these movies. But what they did to Peeta just breaks my heart. He‘s such a genuine and kind soul. He didn’t deserve any of this.
In the first movie Peeta said that he doesn’t want the Capitol to change him/turn him into a monster. And that if he‘s going to die he wants to be himself. That was his biggest fear. 😢
Finnick wasn’t waffling😔 poor boy had been through so much
42:30 In the book Katniss is actually so out of touch with her feelings that when she is the most heartbroken - when Peeta almost kills her and she finds out that he’s been hijacked - she calls it a heart attack. She doesn’t understand that she’s emotionally hurting and a heart attack is the closest thing possible that she knows of that could hurt that much
They bombed twelve to punish Katniss, they hadnt rebelled :(
Edit: Jet Katniss shot didn't go into the hospital, it was a bit of a weird shot. It crashed someplace else, hospital just got bombed.
I never understood why they shot the movie like that. I mean, katniss literally says that the jets are targeting the hospital and you can see the jets dropping bombs on it but the scenes get confusing and it seems that Katniss caused the destruction of the hospital by destroying the jets midair
It was just a poor shot choice, happens sometimes. Forgivable, seeing how well all the other scenes are done.
@@PaiDiMat
I've noticed pretty much everyone make that same mistake. It just shows how badly they filmed that part. They should have made at least the bombing part more clear.
@@PaiDiMat Editing was a bit off there. Chronologically: (1) comment about targeting hospital, (2) more bombs drop, (3) planes go toward Katniss & Gale - which could always be the way they would head to return to base; I don't know if they had anything left to drop orfire, (4) planes are shot down, K&G turn 180 to watch them crash, (5) They then turn back to look at the damaged hospital. Right about that time, it seems there is a brief cut, but it's long anough to make a viewer think that they MADE the planes crash into the hospital.
it's so nice to see how much you appreciate who Peeta is - and you're actually saying a lot things that Katniss thinks about him, worded in the books; how kind he is, how selfless he is, how much he values his integrity, how scared you are for what the Capitol has been doing to him between his appearances on TV. it's nice to see someone not dismiss him because he's not loud and angry and combative. Peeta being so soft in such a harsh world is why it's so easy but so dangerous to love him
I'm from Ukraine, and watching this movie was physically and mentally hard. Like, we are going through this in 21 century..I think watching this particular part of series can show what we are suffering now. Thanks for your reactions, i adore them very much, you are the best 💖
Great reaction, but you didn't react to the fact that Finnick was prostituted! Probably even when he was a minor, since he was 14 when he won. And he had to play the part of a ladies' man to cover it up. He is waffling, but he's also very strategically exposing yet another dark underbelly to the Hunger Games that the Capital pretends doesn't exist--the fact that victors are still slaves. Even career victors are victims.
That fact still horrifies me. As if it isn't enough that these young people are forced to fight to the dea!h, no, even after "winning" they're possible victims to forced prostitution.
Haymitch was right when he said "no one ever wins the games - period."
@@sarahmoller7308 yeah and I realized that if Katniss died in her first games Peeta probably would’ve met the same fate or his 2 parents and brothers would’ve died but I don’t think that Katniss would’ve let that happen because President Snow basically became a pimp for those rich Capitol folk
@@nmoney6655the thing is she would to keep Prim safe. And thats why the thought of it is so horrible.
The movie had weird cuts and made it look like the planes they shot down destroyed the hospital. Weird oversight from a generally great director. Really, the planes hit a tower that fell over randomly. The planes had already bombed the hospital
Righhttttt makes sense. Did really look like the hospital hey 😂
@@thecocoacouch Oh yea, it’s something that a LOT of people say when they react to the movie. If I didn’t know about it from the books, I would also assume she accidentally destroyed the hospital lol
I do remember leaving the theater almost wishing for the sake of the people who never read the books that this part ended with the blackout so people had to wait to find out about peeta’s hijacking until the next movie. It’s where I would have ended the cliffhanger personally because that big of a wtf would have made people desperate for the final part or to read the books. But I do like the irony and despair of the chanting while katniss stares in despair at Peeta thrashing against restraints. It’s very powerful
I would sell my soul to go to a theater and sit next to a movie watcher. Because the utter shock is like a live reaction. And me reacting to their reaction
It literally does not matter how many times I watch this movie- the transition to District 5 singing The Hanging Tree makes me break into tears every single time without fail. It is as soul crushing and powerful as Katniss mourning Rue's death in the first movie was for me.
Dear Oscar, your empathy is what makes us like watching you. You're such a genuine, sweet man (and that's a big compliment). Stay true to who you are, you're great ❤
The song that Katniss is singing "The Hanging Tree" actually got pretty popular after the movie came out. In a couple countries it even got to position 1 in the charts.
And I’ve had it saved on my Spotify playlist ever since. Lol 😊
It was so popular that people tried to say that it was a REAL song made by slaves 😂 like no… it’s a hunger games song.
I see why people like the song i LOVE the song
The plane she shot down crashed across the street from the hospital. That’s why Katniss turns around mid-speech and you can see part of her propos crew in the background
can't understand why people hate so much this movie, it's definitely one of my favorites, the acting, the politics, the rebellion and just everything else that shows us how cruel the capitol and Snow are. It's just an amazing movie
Nunca he escuchado de nadie que la odie, en serio a la gente no le gusta?
@@estefaniabolivar2051no es mejor Que la segunda
@@alanambriz5320 es que en llamás es muy buena pero Sinsajo parte 2 también jajajaja pues para mí lo es

@@alanambriz5320 en el libro en esa parte que tu dices pasan muchas cosas en muy poco tiempo y se vuelve más político de lo que ya es, igual la película puede sentirse así por lo que necesitaban terminarla en dos horas pero a mi me encantó
Sere muy fan jajajaja
I really appreciate that you're able to recognize that Katniss struggles with knowing her own feelings because of how much trauma and fear she's experiencing constantly. A lot of reactors don't necessarily realize that we're talking about a 16/17 year old who has been traumatized so many times over and has the weight of an entire nation on her shoulders. She talked about being so afraid all the time that she can't even sort through her emotions. This would be so challenging for an adult, let alone for someone her age.
I couldn’t sort through my own emotions at 16/17 and that was just the stress of highschool and bullying. Katniss just yearns for comfort and how is she supposed to know that wanting to be held could be taken as flirting. The kiss with Gale in the house felt like her trying TO feel something and only knowing how to get Gale’s head out of a dark place would be to kiss him. Woof….
So bored of some people's reaction videos, they don't look authentic at all, but you seem truly captivated by the story, great job man. You're also hilarious, like when you said "I couldn't watch myself either" 😂😂😂 you literally run a RUclips channel with your reactions, but that's what I mean when I say you seem authentic 😂
Thank you for another reaction! I'm so glad to have found your videos.
The thing that hurts the most about Peeta's destiny is that in the first movie, before he and Katniss go to the arena, he tells her the only thing he doesn't want is the games changing who he is. He doesn't want to become a murderer like the Capitol wants him to. He wants to be true to who he is. And he is able to do it, and his goodness gives Katniss hope and makes her fall for him. But then... Capitol does exactly what he didn't want to happen to him. They do what they couldn't do through normal ways: they change who he is. It's horrible. Just shows how evil Snow is...
"That's the first time I've seen characters run to the side" LOOOL right?
I just love Effie. She’s delightful.
Snow’s white rose he left for Katniss was a taunt.
Snow wore these heavily scented roses to cover up his bad breath, that came from all the poison sores in his mouth.
His favourite way of killing opponents was inviting them to dinner and poisoning the wine, which he also drank to avoid suspicion. Of course, he was always saved by a medical team but he did this so often that he developed these sores.
There's a saying in Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, "It ain't over until the Mockingjay sings". So, I highly recommend for Mockingjay Part 2, listen to the beginning of the credits with Jennifer Lawrence singing again because the parallel to the first film completes the circle.
„I just don’t want the games to change me, if I have to die I want to still be me” 😭😭😭😭
@The Cocoa Couch
It breaks my heart to see Peeta like this, especially when you look back at what he said to Katniss in the first movie: "I don't want them to change me and turn me into something I'm not. ... if I'm going to die I want to still be me."
That's exactly what they did to him, his worst fear came true.
Over the years, I've grown to love this movie, even though "Catching Fire" is my favorite.
The scenes at the hospital, in the forest and at the dam are magnificent.
The song gives me chills every time.
I also like the fact that it is in this film that Katniss fully realizes her worth.
I second that.
Peeta's situation hurts even more when you remembers the phrase he says in the first film, that his only wish is for the Capitol not to change who he is and even if he dies, he still wants to be himself. He didn't deserve this 🥺😭
This is definitely my favorite of the series. It's dark and moody, less about the action, and more about the build-up towards an explosive ending. Josh Hutcherson's performance in this and the next movie is really just stellar. It's hard to match Jennifer Lawrence, but he does...sometimes even stealing the scene. I love the new cast members. And I really love watching the districts rebel in their own ways. When the loggers scale the trees and blow up all the peacekeepers on the ground, I get so hyped lol
I look forward to the next reaction! It's heavy. Bring some self-soothing stuff lol
my sister told me when she read the part where Prim went back for the cat it gave her nightmares because that's 100% something I would do in that situation & it gave her so much anxiety lol
The Hanging Tree song scene is just absolute crazy goosebumps and welling up every time haha
A couple of things. The actors are not much older particularly the one playing Peeta. He was 18 in the first movie and when they ended 22. Josh Hutcherson calls it his college/university. Jennifer Lawrence was 20 and Liam Hemsworth 21.
During the years of filming and promoting these films they also did other projects. Jennifer did Silver Linings Playbook and received an Oscar for it.
Josh produced and acted in Escobar: Paradise Lost and started a relationship with his co-star Claudia Traisac that continues to this day, splitting his time between Madrid and L.A.
Also they had to cope with the death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman and how they would complete the Hunger Games saga without him.
Coin: *makes electricity puns*
Beetee: You know I was just paralyzed by an electric tree, right?
Which was most likely part of his own plan (not just his as cover in the games) and he is a genius so he knew the risks.
I wish they'd added the scene where the makeup crew was chained to the wall in the books; it really showed us and Katniss that Coin was the exact same as Snow, using fear and punishments to keep people in line. That she and Snow were different sides of the same coin, as her name represents.
I love your reactions, they're so genuine ! This movie is one of my favorites (this one and the second one). But I love them all, to be honest ! ^^
Just to clarify, Katniss did not sent the overcrafts down on the hospital when she shot them ! The editing of the scene make a lot of people think that, but it is not what happened. The hospital was already bombarded. And stopping the overcrafts didn't change a lot. They were coming back for a second attack. But the hospital was already burning.
Great reaction! 😊
RIP always to Philip Seymour Hoffman(Plutarch Heavensbee)!!!
I love this two part movie more than the "Mockingjay" book. Mainly because Effie is in the movies more than the book.
Katniss' new Mockingjay outfit is another one of my favorite outfits that Cinna had designed for her.
This and Part 2 were filmed at the same time. And sadly Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away in the middle of the filming these last two movies.
After you finish with "Mockingjay Part 2", I very highly recommend starting on the "Maze Runner" trilogy. I think you would love it!
Looking forward to your next reaction for. 😊
you're the only reactor I've seen that called that Peeta was looking like a Mutt after the 3rd interview. very intuitive!
The irony is, Snow could have ruled the Capitol till his death if he didnt keep try to kill Katniss. Pretty sure he deliberately messed with Quarter Quell to make sure Katniss was in it. I mean, if she wasnt in it, she might have just stated quiet in district 12. All he had to do was not to give her much attention in the coming years , so the people would eventually lose interest in them.
I'm not sure what you mean by "pretty sure he deliberately messed with the Quarter Quell to make sure she was in it"? Snow and Plutarch chose to have the Tributes reaped from the existing pool of Victors and Katniss was the only female Victor from District 12 still alive. Aside from choosing to have the Victors in the Quarter Quell, Snow didn't have to mess with it to ensure Katniss had to take part. No other living District 12 woman had won the Hunger Games, so there wasn't anyone else it could have been.
@@essentiallyinvisible3572 There's a running theory that the Quarter Quell games aren't pre-written, and are instead done depending on what the Capitol thinks is the best punishment to keep them in line at that point in time. It's not that they made Katniss a tribute, it's that they rewrote whatever the 75th games were originally supposed to be (Or it was blank to begin with and they filled it in with what was convenient).
@@koszmarneoczy - I agree that they change it to what helps them in the moment, like in the film. What I was saying to the original comment was that Katniss had to be in it as soon as Snow decided to have the QQ be Victors, as Katniss was the only living female Victor from District 12. He didn't have to "mess" with it beyod that because there was nobody who could have been reaped instead of her.
..
In the movie, at least, we see him discuss with Plutarch that he wants "their entire species" (Vicotrs) wiped out because they feel "invincible". That's when he announces that the Tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of Victors, ensuring Katniss will be in the QQ :) That's why I was wondering if the OC meant "Snow deliberately messed with it" to make it Victors-only, in which case, his motive was made clear in the movies, but I'm not sure about the books.
1:52 "I wish they were all dead and we were too" It's a really heavy line and Katniss understand deeply what he means by that. In the last movie when she took the syringe was for killing Peeta. She thought the Capitol got them and she knew they would torture them and use them. She was gonna kill him and then herself. I don't blame her, that plan actually makes more sense than trying to escape going against everyone with a syringe!
Empathy is a great gift Oscar, and 90% of the "leaders" of the world can learn something from you. ❤
We all love Katniss but i think Plutarch Hevensbee will always be her number 1 fan 😅
No spoilers for the reaction but I loved his letter to Katniss 😍
So glad I found this channel after you uploaded the first hunger games reaction. Your reactions are the best! I’m obsessed and now watching all your other vids 😅
This one hurt. I was glad I was told to take tissues to the theater!! Also spent a lot of the film clenching my fist lol. Glad you're reacting to these films. Enjoy as always and thank you for not being afraid to show your emotions as well. ❤
“he’s a good guy” *talking about gale*
yeah we all thought that too, it doesn’t even have to do with the peeta vs gale thing either. it’s much worse than that😅 i love your reactions! so good & vulnerable 🫶🏻
Despite your vagueness, this is sort of a spoiler, no? Hopefully he’s already seen the last movie though so maybe it doesn’t even matter.
@@gwenjackson8583 actually deleted my responses because yes actually it kind of is, i see what you mean but it doesn’t seem much of a spoiler because what happens is so surprising that no one could guess it even by what i said. it’s still very unexpected for someone who hasn’t seen this before
I love how you appreciate both Gale and Peeta. I’ve seen a couple of channels reacting to this series and they always choose one or the other. It’s nice to hear your analysis of both characters without villainizing them
I don't think anyone escaped the dam bombing, that's why they were singing the Hanging tree song. They were walking to their deaths and they did so willingly knowing their efforts were necessary to further the plan. True sacrifice.
I love your reactions so much because you're not afraid to get emotional and you understand the emotional depth of certain scenes. It truly feels like watching my favorite movies with a friend ❤️
The cat hates Katniss because she tried to drown it as a kitten. It was sick, so I guess it was an act of mercy (also they couldn't afford to feed it). But Prim begged for Katniss to stop. Prim and mom nursed the kitten back to health. It still holds a grudge against Katniss.
“First time I have seen characters run to side” 😂😂😂 I am still cracking up here. It is so true, when something is falling they always run straight instead of just going sideways. Another proof of how great Hunger Games is as a realistic piece.
Gale is just such a silly character to me, like is this our priority right now? If I had just witnessed a hospital of innocent people I met in person being blown up, because of me no less, and seen someone I loved clearly being tortured on tv I would not want to hear a guy whine to me about not getting attention. In fact if that happened I’d probably either punch him or never talk to him again. Like, we don’t have time for this jealousy bs, we’re literally starting a rebellion and war??
And the worst thing is, she has already expressed this. Last movie she told him she can only think about how scared she is all the time, and how she can't think about romance at all. She isn't having a romance with Peeta either, she is acting to save everyone's lives, and Gale just keeps butting in at the worst times with "do you like me? Tick [yes] or [no]"
Fr like “it’s the only way I can get your attention” oh...well I’m sorry I was a bit preoccupied with a literal REVOLUTION AND WAR GALE
I didn’t like the whole concept of the love triangle and Katniss‘s relationships in general. It was fine in the first book/movie but at the very latest when they went into the revolution it annoyed me. Gale seemed much more mature and dark in the first book. To me, his actions (when it comes to love!) didn’t really fit his character in the sequels
@@otter011 gale and katniss were originally supposed to be cousins but suzanne's publicist told her to alter it and create the love triangle to make the books more "appealing"... 🥲
Finnick has always been one of my favourites, and I cried so hard when he died, and it was especially heartbreaking considering he won at 14 and then was prostituted and sold as a sex slave because of his good looks, then tried to fight back and help Katniss and was murdered by the mutts. It's horrific. He deserved so much better. I feel like he had to pretend he was a player to cover the abuse or be killed. Or he was pretending to be one to cover up the PTSD and horrors he went through, like fake it to make it, or he would've broken down.
Shows how even the people from higher number districts are just as much a slave to the powerful people of the capitol as lower number districts, yes they have better food, resources, etc, but at the end of the day, no one, even if you're capitol citizen or higher number district, is safe, and how those in power will use you to their own advantage, even if you're young, old, District 1, District 12, they'll use you, and if you refuse to do as they say, they'll take everything from you, even family. To manipulate and control people using fear, is incredibly cruel. To manipulate children with PTSD from being forced to kill, is barbaric.
Also i never got a good feeling about Coin, she felt like a female version of Snow, but just using fear and manipulation tactics more subtly. Two sides of the same coin. Hate the pair of them. And I feel for Snow's granddaughter, she has no idea how much of a monster her grandfather is, and is only shown the glory of the Games. 😢
It's an amazing film. ❤
Your empathy makes your reactions my ABSOLUTE favourite!!! Keep going man, you're killing it
I only discovered you recently (RUclips recommendations) but I'm so glad I have. I love seeing a guy who has no issues at all with getting emotional over a movie. It's so refreshing and it makes me even more emotional. Loving what you do and looking forward to seeing more. ❤
I've never been able to choose a favorite of these movies because you need ALL of them to tell the complete story.
I watched dozens or maybe more reactions to this movie, and you were the only one to pointt out the fact that Snow said "The people we love most are the one who hurt us. Remember I said that to you", I parafrazing, but you get the point. I allways found that suspicios the first time I saw the movie,. Than itb made so much sense, but somehow very reaction video I saw, No one poited that out, until you. So congrats in pying attention. Love your reaction.Can't wat for part 2.
At least he finally believed at that point that Katniss loves Peeta…
i just realised that what happened in the hospital in a fiction world just happened in real life...
Islamic Jihad did it though
@@rachelrosenstein9975 keep saying that to yourself and silence you conscience
In the books and the movies, it frustrates me so much how immature Katniss is about leading both Peeta and Gale on. I mean, she’s like 16, you can’t really blame her, because she’s never had to deal with her romance before, but it’s still so painful. They’re both genuinely good guys, and she’s breaking both of their hearts!
Great reactions man, I’m loving everyone of them!
the hunger games has been my favourite series for as long as i can remember, i’ve just found your channel and going through all your reactions has been so enjoyable and sparking a new found love for the series all over again 🩷
Katniss didn't send the falling planes into the hospital, it's confusingly shot/edited but the hospital is in the opposite direction.
I love your reactions! they´re authentic and you don´t try to hide your emotional reaction.
I love how thos movie did not shy away from the Frontline death tolls...
The Hunger Games is one of those series that would often get reduced to the love triangle, and sadly i get why, with the whole marketing of "which team are you? team Gale or team Peeta?"- but the second you look closer into the whole thing it get's so messed up i swear. The poor girl is what? 16 to 17 years old? she's got horrible PTSD, has been dragged into one violent set up after another, into leading a revolution... she hasn't had time to breathe, let alone figure out if she wants to get with someone. She gives love more out of wanting to comfort others than out of real desire, mostly with Gale as he points out but also with Peeta: only a handful of kisses seemed to come to her naturally and only towards the end of the second movie. The whole thing is not really a love triangle, just a damn tragedy. Seems to me like she doesn't really consider romantic love til after everything is said and done and i can't blame her honestly
Suzanne didn’t want there to be a love triangle but the publishers kind of made her do it… it was always supposed to be Peeta, Gale was supposed to be her cousin.
oh god the "at least she has Prim" at 9:47
I believe some people already explained it but the hospital was already bombed even before Katniss blew the hovercrafts up.
And we also need to remember that Katniss is a teenager. Some people say she needs to focus on the rebellion but she's a kid who has been through so much.
P. S. Have you also watched Everything, Everywhere, All at Once? I'm so curious to see your reaction to that movie.
Thank you Charlie, for carrying this entire movie. District 8 hospital helper was unforgettable.
If you remember from the previous movies there were servants in the tribute centres who had cages around their heads; they’d also had their tongues removed and are bound as servants, labourers, or any other menial jobs.
Astounding!!! This reaction is priceless!!! While I do agree that the film is slow due to it being only the first half of the book, I think it’s nice that it has this pacing because it supposed to be I think a representation of what Finnic just told Katniss that it takes a person longer to put themselves mentally back together after they breakdown. So over the film you see her trying to adapt to life in District 13 as well as struggling with being the Mockingjay, her trauma, and trying to find a way to get Peta out of the Capitol. I was on the edge when I was waiting for you to see Peeta go berserk. And if you loved Philip Seymour as Plutarch, I must recommend his film with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, Twister.
🐦⬛🏹😨😱❤️🔥
I only just discovered your channel and I have to say, something about your personality drew me right in❤. You seem so wholesome and like a greatly empathetic person, which makes your reactions very enjoyable. Stay positive and good luck with the channel.🍀
Also a (spoiler-free!) book-fact about Finnick that doesn't come across that well-explained in this movie (TW: SA):
When Finnick holds his speech he actually reveals some facts about his past ever since he won the Games. In the capitol he is known to be very promiscuous, but what they don't know is that he actually was forced into s** trafficking by President Snow from the age of 14. For every time he would have refused, they would have killed somebody he loved. After a while, instead of taking money or expensive gifts, Finnick started to receive secrets as a sort of trade from his lovers, which is why he mentions in the second movie after Katniss asks: "How does someone pay for the pleasure of your company?" - "With secrets".
Knowing that the Capitol has exercised that power over him for such a long time makes you really understand why he is so broken this whole movie and petrified that they are going to harm Annie. Not only is the Capitol not afraid to brutally maim or kill, there are also other things they can do to a person that may be much worse.
So silly how this movie actually fits the real life events that are happening at this critical time between (you know which parties) in our real world
As amazing as the start of the rebellion against President Snow was, it was strange to see Effie without all her flamboyance, when we see them in District 13. Effie's wardrobe, wigs and makeup would make a drag queen jealous, I swear.
It's interesting you called Peeta a mutt;
I"m sure someone's commented before on the other video, but in the first movie, the original GMO dogs at the end were supposed to be (in the first book) the reanimated bodies of most of that Games' dead tributes' bodies! :O
the capitol bombing a hospital hitting pretty hard in these trying times
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

The dam scene is perfect
Oh, man, the way I KNEW how shattered your heart was going to be throughout this movie, especially after the Peeta reveal, I just wanted to hug you. Your reaction mirrored mine when reading that scene in the book. You're right, it's exhausting being empathetic.
It's interesting that you said at 15:10 that she looked way too done-up because that's actually a point they make in the book: " 'Wash her face," says Dalton. Everyone turns to him. 'She's still a girl and you've made her look thirty-five. Feels wrong. Like something the Capitol would do.' "
They do say that in the movie too
@@sydneypeck2488 Oh, whoops. Forgot that.
@@sydneypeck2488yep and it’s Haymitch in the movie irc
@@gennybaratta2460 - Boggs says it in the film :)
33:47 I lost count of how many times I've seen this movie, yet I never made the connection that the name of the aircraft is the same as the title. 😅
The way Haymitch says “trust me, I know” about Katniss being coached into being a leader makes me think that maybe he was approached to do the same but refused or failed.
I think it’s more him saying that he knows better than anyone she can’t be coached because he’s tried to twice and she always does her own thing.
Such a great channel! You’re natural on the camera. Since the holidays is around the corner for majority of us, I would love to see your reaction to the chronicles of narnia movies 😊
I really appreciate that! Maybe… I’ve already seen them all 😅
@@thecocoacouch oh nooo :/ well how about the twilight movies? There’s 5 in total. If you haven’t watched that already I think you’d enjoy it
Remember that in the first one peta said ‘ I don’t want them to change me in to something else .’ Now peta has became a weapon to kill the only one he loves.
Literally so many people made this comment already. I’ve probably found 20 so far lmfao I’m like yea I’m sure he won’t miss it with this many people commenting the same thing 😂lol
I just recently found your channel and can't stop watching your reactions because of your empathy! It really feels like you understand the movies and feel them
there is a fanfiction I’ve read on AO3 by igsygrace called Peeta’s Games. It’s all The Hunger Games books but in Peeta’s POV and it genuinely feels like your reading a book created by the original author. It’s amazing! Especially how the fanfiction author paints a picture of the torture Peeta went through while captured by the capitol. If anyone reading this is a Hunger Games book fan you will love this!
The “if we burn, you burn with us” never fails to make me tear up.
I think it's so great just how much you pick up on the internal struggle and turmoil going on. A lot of it is in the books, since it's a 1st person narrative so we know what Katniss is thinking (especially regarding her feelings for Peeta and Gale). The fact that you've caught so much of that internal struggle of hers (Not just regarding that relationship triangle hot mess, but also about the PTSD and how much is loaded onto her) from just the movie is a testament to not just the acting in the movie but your own empathy and ability to read people and really understand what would be going on in their heads. I don't know if I've really expressed this very clearly, but I'm just very impressed with your analysis of everything 💜
That's it, you watched my favorite one 🥰
or at least, the movie with my two favorite scene of the saga : the "IF WE BURN YOU BURN WITH US" and the song 🥲
Can't wait to see your reaction to the last one... 😰
Love the reaction!!! Your facial expressions never get old 😂. I knew you were truly invested when flipped Snow the bird 😂😂😂😂. On pins and needles waiting for the conclusion.
