The long awaited sequel lol. Also, CHECK OUT OUR HUNGER GAMES merch. Super excited about it and completely inspired by this movie!!
I remember in the book how when the camoflauged girl died slowly, she told peeta she loved to paint. And peeta described the colors of the sunrise as she drifted off...that was really beautiful and tragic
She always broke my heart, I couldn't imagine having a thing I love so connected to my survival and ptsd I got from fighting as a child for entertainment. But it was also nice because it looked like she was at peace when she went.
I don't remember the book much (it's been years since last time I read it), but I remember seeing a promotional picture of the movie in which Peeta and the camouflaged girl paint each other when they're training for the games, I thought that was very sweet
So I googled the picture and I want to correct myself. They didn't paint each other like I previously said, but the camouflaged girl (aka the morphling) did paint on his arm. I think they cut it from the movie
That part of the book broke me..
@@viitality2983 No way! My brother found great joy in making me fight. On the school bus he would tell older boys (that little blonde girl could.....). So I knew hit him with my lunch box then jump on them. '70s . He would tell me at home, beat his ass or I'll beat yours. Never heard anyone else say that. Hope you are good. Peace
It has always annoyed me that Katniss is literally trying to save everyone AND deal with her PTSD and Gale is like "Do you like me? Tick yes or no" 🥴🥴🥴 we don't have time for that, boo!
Lmao. A fair point
Yeah that was annoying🙄
Gale is the ultimate 'nice guy'
Yes, so annoying! This girl has been through so dang much and all he's worried about is that she kissed Peeta... so annoying. I think that's why I never for a minute was team Gale.
Yeah, it gets clear at certain point that they're not at the same page or even at the same book lol Due to what Katniss went through with Peeta, she grew closer to him than she'll ever be to Gale 🤷🏼♂️
They kinda got lucky that they got the lovely couple treatment. Finnick got black mailed into prostitution by Snow (kinda awful considering he was reaped at 14), Snow also tried to do that to Johanna, but after she didn't agree he just murdered her whole family instead.
That's SOOOOOOO Evil
Yeah exactly, have respect for our boy Finnish and our girl Jojo🥺
If Peeta was not there to sell the story as lover boy, Snow would've 100 percent either prostituted Katniss or Prim out to the capitol. I never really thought about that until someone pointed it out in an Instagram comment, but it's sickening to think about. Katniss was very lucky that Peeta also won.
@@hermionegranger6405 Nah, had the rebellion not happened, Peeta & Katniss would most definitely still have been sold around. Especially because of the love story & then surviving together, which would have made the appeal of getting into bed with both of them together even stronger.
I wish that was mentioned in the movies
I love how much "Gale could never" moments this movie shows lol
Peeta helping Katniss help Gale, Peeta asking nothing more than just being friends, Peeta being nice with the three lady, giving Katniss the pearl, GIVING A F*ING GALE PHOTO
I mean... How can anyone have any doubts about him being THE BEST?
I love Effie's performance during the reaping, how her voice changes when she names Katniss, how she feels hope when she names Hamitch, and how her heart breaks when Peeta volunteers. There she shows that her character is not so empty, and she realizes the injustice of the situation, and also that she also believes that Peeta is the best and noblest of the 3, great performance !!!
Which unfortunately is only the movie Effie.
@@witdajuice6763 she is not the same in the book? How much different is she from her movie counterpart?
@@user-ok5jh4nh1t her movie counterpart has developed a sense of camaraderie and genuine love and affection for Katniss…in the books she does not join the rebellion. Katniss never sees her again.
@@witdajuice6763 oh, I see. That's actually kind of sad because I really liked how she turned out to be in the movies. Thank you for explaining.
@@user-ok5jh4nh1t yeah I love her in the movies. And Elizabeth Banks does a phenomenal job showing emotion as Effie.
One of the cleanest, most well executed book to movies series ever 🐦
YES . Couldn’t agree more
Not really ... the whole plot of who knows the plan, who doesn’t it’s all messed up.
@@WNN_PaddyPower they said the series as a whole and personally i see this as a minor mishap
@@WNN_PaddyPower Why messed up? Mags sacrificed for them, the morflin sacrificed for Peeta, Johanna getting the nerds for Katniss and cutting her tracker, Finnick saying ¨remember who the real enemy is¨. When PSH says half the tributes where in on it its pretty clear who knew and who didnt.
@@WNN_PaddyPower we’re experiencing the world through Katniss’ eyes just as we did in the book. She was not aware of any plan until after she was rescued? The movie did it right
Gosh I literally love Finnick so much he goes from someone who you aren’t sure you can trust to one of the best characters in the books/movies
Yeah he is my favorite! He was such a good friend to katniss in the mockingjay book. He also had a humorous side to him aswell.
He was my favorite.
He keeps saving them! His death in the book was more tragic and I couldn’t stop crying!
Yep
Finnick really grew on me and then the mocking jays devistated me
It's hilarious how Katniss never notices the other victors on her team constantly showing her that they are wearing gold and her not noticing lol. Joanna took off her clothes on the elevator and all she had left was her makeup which was gold. Even Finnick laughs when he sees Beetee's training outfit lined in gold. All the victors that are in on it are wearing gold and only they notice it. They were being bold as hell in everyone's face about their plan and not even Katniss realized who was all on her side
Omg! How in the world did you notice that!! I really love details and the details in this movie and how well though out it is makes me rewatch it too much… even the book! That is such a great catch of details!
@@swagwanhyung8413 it took about the third time watching it to notice. I couldn't remember small book details all that much by the time it came out and still don't remember if it is in there or just the movie. By the end you realize all the victors acting weird was them having one giant inside joke, so I went back and tried to see if there were any telling moments after remembering Finnick laugh at Beetee for seemingly no reason.
Thanks for the gold detail. I've watched this movie so many times and never saw that detail. I know Finnick had Haymitch's gold bracelet but didn't notice the others.
Omg how did i not notice this
My mind was just blown🙈😅
Something from the book that I wish that they put into the movie was how Peeta didn't just hold Katniss until she fell asleep one time. They slept like that every night and then the day of the 75th Hunger Games the makeup team came to get them ready and saw them holding each other while sleeping and just started crying because they didn't k ow if they would win or not. Like they had the whole first district rooting for their love story like a television show.
I’ll never understand how anyone can be team gale😂😂
@@austinlarrimore6542 people were only team gale cause hes hot LOL
@@austinlarrimore6542 I liked both of them untill the 4 movie, then Gale became to unscruplous to me. (I only read the first book so i don't know how Gale is written in the other books).
The whole fandom loves Finnick 🥺👏🏼
The darling of the capital and our lives lol
Finnick best boy
Agreed.
Justice for Finnick
Truly best boi
I will NEVER forgive and forget the way he ended.... *sobbing*
the game Haymitch won was the 50th (the second quarter quell) which was 2 boys and 2 girls from each district, totalizing 48 tributes... I always find it so sad when he agrees to volunteer in peeta's place when katniss asks him to
I know...that scene was so intense
Honestly i get where katniss was coming from but the guy went through hell in the 50th hunger games wtf was she thinking
This is literally one of the only times the sequel is better than the first one
Empire strikes back, Toy Story 2, The Dark Knight, T2, Spider-Man 2, Mad Max Fury Road, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, arguably Aliens, Godfather 2, Blade Runner 2049, etc ...?
@@satanclaus1693 That’s why he said ‘ONE’ of the only times, read please
@@btstrasharmyexo-lbaekiesha2776 I know, and I'm saying that it's not as uncommon as people think
and one of the few adaptions that stayed true to the book, sure there was so much left out and small changes but still very loyal to the source.
An amazing sequel🙌🏾🙌🏾‼️
The only thing I hate about these movies is how weak they make Peeta look, when in the books he has a more active role. Especially in public relations which is where Katnis fails, they don't even show us how good he is at manipulating and how clever he is.
They even removed his prosthetic leg :( They did him dirty he was such a great character in the books.
Casting Jena Malone as Joanna was a BRILLIANT move imo… she shines in every scene she’s in (and that’s saying a lot given all the other talented actors). 👍
"i feel like this gu secretly is trying to take down snow"
james: oh shit oh shit oh shit act natural
Lmao 😂
36:29 honestly their deaths are so sad. They were siblings and won just after one another. Gloss was a career and volunteered but in the games he realized how terrible it actually was and afterwards refused to cooperate with the capitol (prostitution etc.). Instead of killing his family like they did with Haymitch or Johanna, the organized it so that his sister would get reaped the following games. It kinda backfired because her brother was her mentor and would do anything to keep her alive and the audience loved her because they had a story of two siblings winning the games just after one another. Those games she hunted down all the other tributes and after a single night she was crowned the victor of her hunger games.
Imagine what their family had to go through watching first their son and then their daughter being reaped. I mean they both won but still... and then imagine how terrible it must’ve been for them to be reaped again when they thought they were finally safe. And then their family had to watch them die within seconds after one another. Actually I’m glad that they died almost at the same time so they didn’t have to grief and instead died together...
I’m not doubting you, but where did you get the information on Gloss and Cashmeres games, like did Suzanne Collins release it or something
@@erinmcn14 I don’t remember if she herself said it or someone else that worked with her (I think her) but it was like something that she wanted to include in the books or later in the movies but never did. (Like a little backstory to some of the tributes like that mags was the first ever female winner or that one tribute was killed by the capitol during a game because he started eating the dead tributes... Stuff like that)
@@levanyra3732 oh yeah, I believe that cannibal's name is Titus something
"who'd she get the pin from?" "her sister" MY DUDE YOU SAID YOU READ THE BOOKS HOW YOU GONNA DO MADGE SO DIRTY LIKE THAT
I’m sorry lol...it was YEARS ago
I mean, he’s right, though. Can’t say the way it happened in the books, when the character was completely omitted from the movies. 🤷🏼♀️
Peeta was my favourite character from the books and I feel like the movies kinda downplay the importance he has on the games because it's more focused on the action. He isn't a fighter, his strengths lie on his people skills. He's aware of the importance of optics from the get go and he's a great compliment to Katniss because she's terrible at it. He gives the public reasons to like them, he maintains alliances when Katniss wants to cut them and he pulls a lot of strings. Also in the books the injuries they get on the first games are worse, I think Katniss has trouble hearing on one ear for the rest of the story and Peeta loses part of his leg, so that's why he is even more vulnerable. You don't get that in the movie because they decided to cut that out.
That's so tragic 😭
I used to not like peeta just cause.. Its like he was just there and was like, oh its the other dude ok whatever and I haven't read the books YET (shocker) but I feel like his character would shine more there
One of the reasons also why they are so protective of Peeta in this movie was removed from the book to screen. Peeta is supposed to lose most of his leg in the first games so he would have trouble getting around let alone defending himself. I'd have to disagree on Peeta being weak or 'being a little bitch' (which is an awful phrase fyi). He straight from the get go puts his life aside to focus, with Haymitch, on saving Katniss; he bravely befriends a bunch of psychos in order to keep and eye on them and protect Katniss when necessary, he gets stabbed defending Katniss after the Tracker Jacker attack then managed to get away himself while also taking the time to disguise himself for who knows how long; then he is injured for a while which I assume is where people assume he's 'weak' although I have to say if their positions had been swapped I don't think the same thing would have been said about Katniss, he then is able to escape mutts and fight off Cato. That's pretty strong to me.
YES, I just hate when people say that Peeta is weak and useless. He's also a survivor and he suffered a lot too, especially in Mockingjay, besides that he's always a ray of sunshine 💕
Yh, I can totally understand why people come away from the movies seeing peeta as weak though. but as a book fan I don’t either it just depends on which version of the hunger games we are talking about. (I would say the same for pretty much any book to movie adaptation. In Harry Potter for example, Snape is a vindictive bully with one redeeming quality in the books, and in the movies he is just a highly sarcastic but ultimately noble teacher... the list goes on lol)
Peta ain’t weak he killed Brutus somehow
They call Peeta “useless” and “weak” because Katniss and Peeta have switched traditional gender roles. People are used to seeing men as the protagonists and the saviors which is what Katniss does when she goes back and saves and nurses Peeta to health. Peeta loves baking while Katniss loves to hunt. Peeta is very good at communication and showing his feelings while Katniss is more closed off and isn’t great at expressing how she feels. They switched traditional gender roles, which is something the author admits to do. But Peeta isn’t worthless. Peeta holds his own in many other ways.
Also, we have to remember that Peeta and Katniss came from different classes within their district. Peeta was more middle class. His parents owned a bakery and they didn’t have to hunt for their food or do anything that would cultivate survival techniques in the wilderness like katniss’ family. He’s out of his element the same way katniss is out of her element when she has to play politics or be the star.
At the beginning of the first one Gale sneaks up on her and startles her, at the beginning of this one post Hunger Games he can't even get close without her hearing.
I love the little detail when peeta's heart stops, Katniss just freaks out and finnick comes and starts CPR. Since his district is the fishing district he'd know about it and was probably taught at a fairly young age and since her's is the coal district she would have no clue what CPR even is.
And Johanna was timber district 7
The PTSD you see from her in the beginning..that is why Hamich is such a drunk..not only did he have to kill to win..but he had to mentor years of tributes who he had to watch die....
Yeah it’s this terrible cycle
Finnick + Peeta from the books = best ones
The best boys
true, i kinda just feel pity for people who havent read the books, they dont know what they are missing
There was SO MUCH more emphasis on Peeta's character arc in the books than the movies. (Peeta lost his leg in THG, which made it difficult for him to move and there was more plot focus on him that got cut in the movies.) While Katniss was the face of the revolution (because she was the one who did the berries and physical actions), Peeta was the heart of it because everyone just loved him as a wholesome person. Katniss kinda sucked with her wording in the books at times due to being quieter. Audience love for Peeta showed with the readers too; Peeta, Prim, and Finnick were probably the top fan-favorite characters solely for their "innocence" and "purity" if you will. When I read the books, I LOVED Peeta and was heartbroken at what happened to him in Mockingjay.
in the book there’s more of an emphasis on how they needed both peeta and katniss cuz even though she’s the face of the revolution and her actions resonate with the public she was never good at expressing or with words as peeta was (which you can see when he does the speech for rue and thresh) so yes it was vital to get katniss out it was also vital to get peeta which is why they were protecting them both, i sorta see it as katniss being the face of the revolution while peeta is the heart or the brain
i’m surprised there was no reaction to that final shot of katniss at the end. you have to applaud jennifer lawrence’s acting. no words, you saw all you needed to know in her face from sadness and confusion to anger to pure rage and vengeance. if that doesn’t tell you the war has started I dont know what will.
I know! That scene gave me chills. And it's also exactly like it was in the book too!
23:34 I love how they just stare at president Snow, every victor is supposed to wave at him in the parade... but they didn’t🤭
To be honest if that was me I would also do that but by put the fingers up
At him also
This is such a badass sequel, bigger and better in every way
Lol i read "baddest" i was like wtf!? xD
Those birds were jabberjays which were made by the capital to spy on the districts. But they figured it out so the capital left them to die but instead they mated with mockingbirds, which is where mockingjays came from. So 1. Mockingjays are a bit of a middle finger to the capital and 2. In that scene they were using their own birds against the mockingjay (Katniss). Katniss, like the mockingjays is a result of the capitals own actions and was never meant to exist. ❤️👌
I wish they didn't skim over the few scenes that involved the woman who saves Peeta. You get to see her and the other victor from her district more. They're both addicts and he practiced painting with them during training. That's why she was hidden so well.
This is the movie where everybody stepped up their game acting wise, and it's seriously the best one in the series. And it introduces my fav, Johanna 😆
it’s really telling how quick the capitol ppl were to stand up calling out for cancelling the games bc of a baby but they were perfectly okay every year looking at children like rue who was 12 or even peeta and katniss who were only 16 fight to the death but suddenly cuz she’s pregnant it’s no longer okay
I feel like a good chunk were upset over not seeing the, "agonizing twist of fate" of their future child getting picked for the games in 13 years. I think it was mentioned in the books that the children of the victors had an abnormally high chance of being chosen so of course any product of Katniss and Peeta would have 0 chance of going unscathed.
I feel like it says a lot about the political state of America today, I.e. pro-choice vs pro-life- some people will respect the life of an unborn child more than the children that are in foster homes (sometimes products of births when women couldn’t afford an abortion) and would love to be adopted and loved again.
@@jessicamagri8211Ah. Yes. Those children are better off dead than going through the potential of adoption
@@jessicamagri8211 that and that people value the life and health of a fetus more than they do of the women or teen being forced to give birth.
@@mr.worldwide5566both lives are important. About the life that will be born and the woman who suffers in bearing a child (regardless of the reasons). That is why it is essential to provide sexual education and support to pregnant women, giving them the choice of giving the child up for adoption to a family that wants to have a child through this means (which, contrary to what many people think, many have the desire to adopt, just don't express it so they don't suffer criticism ). Supported woman, supported child. But people just want to pick a side and fuck the next life
One major theme throughout the series (which is especially prevalent in the next two films), is the use of social and war propaganda to help persuade the masses. Suzanne Collins' dad was in the Vietnam War which is well known for sparked controversies due to a s**t ton of war propaganda from both sides. What I love about this series is how manipulative government powers can be in using symbolic pawns/manipulated victims for public favor towards their causes. I think this is a super relevant theme in real life today, what with the toxic political climate of company or government funded news media outlets spreading their rhetoric, slander, hyperbole, and sometimes misinformation against the "other" sides.
Suzanne had inspiration from reading Greek mythology in her childhood, which she mixed with obvious Roman/imperialistic undertones. the examples from "Plutarch's Life of Theseus" is most prominent, where Crete (like the Capitol) demanded retribution from Athens, resulting in a cycle where every so many years, 7 young maidens and men would have to be offered to feed the Cretan labyrinth's minotaur. Otherwise, Crete would wage war and crush Athens. Katniss destroying the forcefield could be seen as Theseus killing the minotaur (bringing an end to the sacrificial cycle) what makes Katniss so inspirational is that, though she is not a goddess/mythical hero, her publicized trials and tribulations inspired Panem in a mythical way. Her character's example of naturalism in its purest form, that is, beautiful in all of its imperfections, juxtaposed against the shimmering facade of the Capitol's "idealistic" high society is what brings power to this micro, first-person vision within a large-scale revolution.
Collins also got the base concept of The Hunger Games universe when flipping between channels that aired flamboyant reality t.v. shows, and then gruesome coverage of the Iraq war. Panem = Bread et (and) circuses (entertainment), both of which is being supplied by the Districts for the Capitol's benefit.
Sorry if this was a long read, I could go on lol, but I don't want to spoil anything. This is just some food for thought as you go into the next two movies. Hope you enjoy!
This is super cool. I read the books and I didn't even understand any of this. That's so cool!!
Thank you for pointing that out. I am so sick of people claiming it is "just" a rip of of "Battle royal".
Throughout this series Effie's character development shows so nicely, especially when announcing the returning victors. Her performance there gets me a bit choked up.
After reading all the books and watching all the movies I can proudly say that Finnick, Johanna, Haymitch, and Peeta are my favorites
Mine have to be Finnick Cinna Johanna and Haymitch and of course Peeta
Not katniss?? She’s literally the main character lol
@@ravenlenoirr katniss is dope to, but those 4 were the characters I found the most interesting.
The quarter quells are savage! The last one in the books they said it was two girls and two boys from each district
and the first one they were choosen by thier people
and the one that you say the arena was really deadly even the water was poison except for the rain water
That's the one Haymitch won, right?
@@AfoParedes yes
@@AfoParedes yes but he won because a glitch so he showed that the capitol make mistakes and because of that the capitol killed his family and friends, thats why he start drinking
A beautiful reaction to an amazing movie. You guys always seem to pay close attention, making sure to not miss anything the movie is providing. You make my favorite movies even more fun to watch with your detailed and truthful reactions! Hope your guys day was good
It was ok. Much better now ;) thank you so much!!
That's one thing that they changed from the book to movie. The mocking jay pin. In the movie she got it from a random small merchant, gave it to her sister then, was given it back. In the books she was friends with the district 12s mayor's daughter, who gave the pin to her before she gave it to her sister. The symbol was traitorous in and of itself, as it was the symbol of district 13
Don't forget the pin was Madge's aunt's who died during Haymitch's games
you guys have to react to "The perks of being a wallflower"
We will
I agree about needing more than rebels to start a new society after the revolution, that’s what people like Peeta is for. That’s the best part about Peeta’s and Katniss’ relationship, that they complement eachother ☺️💕
I'm so glad you guys watch these movies so critically cuz I know a lot of people dismiss these movies and books as young adult trash and I will always maintain that these books kinda shaped my perception of media and propaganda
I wasn’t sure tbh. I watched them as a kid so I wasn’t sure how they’d hold up, but MAN have they delivered!
After the end of this movie, there was an event called “the victors purge.” Every single past victor who wasn’t chosen for the 75th games was slaughtered along with their families in case they were to use their platforms to support the rebel cause.
That's brutal! No one ever mationed that in a comment before.
The main reason Katniss didn’t want to go with Finnick is because District 4 is also a career district, in which she all ready has a strong distrust into all “careers”
District 4 being a career district is only applicable in the books. In the movies, they’ve only ever established that 1 & 2 are careers.
I don't usually go out seeking reaction channels, they just kind of find me... and rarely do I like those who're reacting. But you two are really well spoken and quiet/focused when you need to be. Definitely going to watch some of your other reactions!
Let’s go!!! Always love new fans ;)
One of the things I hated about this movie is how they did dirty to Katniss's mom. She's portrait as a weak/pasive character, but when it comes to medical stuff, she changes and becomes a pro. I get that they tried to foreshadow Prim's interest/ability with healing, but to take from Katniss's mom her (maybe) only good quality is bad.
I think your assessment is a lil inaccurate she was portrayed as catatonically depressed UNTIL her daughter is reaped. When she survived, it allows her to move threw the trauma and realize she needs to be there for her cause ish is going down. She was always medically skilled but didn’t possess the will to live
Also, the movie doesn't show this but Peeta lost his leg in the first Hunger Games-- so a lot people complained that he has physical restriction in MockingJay.. but it doesn't make sense to show that in the movies when his physical limitation happen bc of his missing leg.
Peeta was SO good in the books. They really did him dirty in the movies.
he sucks both in movies and books
My father laughed out loud when Peeta mentioned the baby. He just said "They're so screwed"
They did a good adaptation but one of the things that just didn't work was the source of the pin. It made no sense at all (what woman who sales wild dog stew in a black market would give away a gold pin worth actual money), and the story of the pin in the book was so good.
finnick is by far the best character! he was the youngest one to ever win the hunger games (he was 14). he was just sooo good looking and charming that he got a lot of sponsors and they sent him a TRIDENT (the most expensive gift a tribute has ever won at the arena) and since he's from district 4 (fishing) he was very skilled with the trident so he killed everyone, lol. pleas read the books, you will fall in love with him
To contradict something said in the after-chat: I feel like a lot of people miss the subtext of these books/movies = if the districts fall apart, everything falls apart even if none of the revolutionaries breach the capitol because the capitol does not produce anything of its own. No food, no clean water. The true power lies in the hands of labor, if only we realize it.
I feel like among all the other themes and messages Susan Collins was trying to convey, this underlying warning of what capitalism can lead to and how the power ultimately lies in the hands of the workers goes relatively unnoticed. It really a very well structured and beautiful piece of symbolism against capitalism.
yall should really read the book, it was one of the few books I literary lost sleep because I couldn't stop reading it. and it goes into more details about the world of the games.
I have
Its so good, I did that too. I love that you also get a full retelling of Haymitch's games!
“it makes you sick so you can go on eating” imagine telling that to people who watch their own district, their own people die of hunger! it surpasses my anger and just leaves me with a deep sadness
RIP Phillip Seymore Hoffman. I still think about his role in Doubt. Pirate Radio was also really fun.
Cathing Fire = Perfection
Honestly🗣
I honestly love the movie version because it was the closest to the book.
Did you know that Claudis Templesmith (the co-presenter of the hunger games with Stanley Tucci) is actually the voice of Dobby? 😂
Well, Jennifer Lawrence was perfect for this character. She's great actress, definitely. It's just she doesn't looks like 16-17 years old girl. But I can pardon that.
Her performance will be get even better and better for the nexf two movies.
Oh also, President Snow is one of the best villain too!
The bigger issue is Katniss in the books also has a more olive skin tone especially compared to her mother.
@@islasullivan3463 I wouldn't even say her skintone was the biggest difference, I remember there was a lot of gripe about Lawrence not being thin enough to look like she was from 12, and that Shailene Woodley would've been a better choice. I prefer great acting over having the look and not selling it, so even though I like Woodley, I think Lawrence was indeed the superior choice
I forgot how iconic Joanna was 😂😂
Finnick my boy! The fandom's fav character. I miss him everyday.
It's interesting how many dangers are lurking in this arena.
It's almost as if Snow knows that these victors wont want to kill each other so they will need more traps in the arena to kill them instead
i love how james (that already saw it) looks at nine like ARE U SEEING THIS???
What I love most is the character developement of Effie Trinket throughout the series. 💜
Fun Fact: the author Suzanne Collins came up with the idea for The Hunger Games while channel surfing between war coverage and reality TV
I don't understand how you saw him as a "bitch" in the first film (which, is a sucky word to use to describe someone. There was no lack of a better word; you could have said weak.) He befriended an entire pack of psychos to keep an eye on Katniss, got stabbed for his troubles after the tracker jacker incident, and spend a good portion of the rest of the movie injured. He was in pain, possibly with an infection, so yeah it would make sense that he wasn't up to his usual strength. But he was all good right after the ointment that healed their wounds, and he was back to himself. I just can't see how you saw him the way you said.
Gale out here trying to figure out if Katniss loves him- and by that I think he pushes her away because that’s not what she needs. Meanwhile peeta just gives her the support needed. In the book quote at the end to summarize Katniss is narrating- and she says that gale has the fire and fight about him which is always good, but she has enough of it herself and what she needs is the calmness that peeta brings
I really hope you get to read the books at some point because if you like Finnick here you will LOVE him in the books. Plus you get more a sense that the idea of being a Victor is strictly surface level because deep down they are ALL dealing with traumatic stuff because of their time in the Games. God I love these books.
I’ve read the books. But I’m just trying to get my cousin to lol
I fuckin love how unhinged Johanna is about doing this shit again
Alexander McQueen borrowed some of his collection to dress Effie, Katniss and Johanna Mason.
The connection between peeta and katniss is greater because of what they went through together. That’s what makes them love each other.
One thing I feel they didn't touch on as much in this film as they did in the book was that most the victors have built bonds with each other over the years after the games because they were mentors for the new tributes and would have time to interact during the Hunger Games every year. Their individual stories are all tragic but the book does a great job fleshing out each previous victor who would be involved in the Quarter Quell which I believe they did mention in the film as well but the twist for each Quarter Quell was written by the government when they started the Hunger Games 75 years prior. It is possible that Snow changed out the card but he is also shown to be more tactical than that and I feel if he would have altered the game it would be to keep Katniss out of the arena
Something very underrated about the game maker (I can´t remember his name in the books) is that whatever he proposes to Snow is twofold. Something that seems an intelligent move but is detrimental to The Capitol. if all districts start suffering more, there is more reason to feel connected. More repression gives you the feeling that what else can you lose? Your family? I'd rather fight if that will be the outcome regardless of what I do. Also, he judged Katniss much better than Snow did. She is an honourable person. Honourable people tend to do the right thing when the situation demands. She can't lie. He saw it at the dance. She is unwilling to play games. So push her to the limit, and she will become a symbol of rebellion because it is what she is. You can only guess this if you are wise and have seen different people in different contexts.
a lot of ppl give peeta flack esp in this movie cuz he’s “weak” but i’d like to point out that peeta doesn’t even know how to swim and he killed that guy hand on hand contact so fast, and if you’re wondering how katniss does know how to swim it’s bc when she’d snuck into the woods with her dad there was a river and he taught her but in actual district 12 there are no bodies of water where you could learn
The soft way James says "yeah..." when he disagrees with Ninetailedbrush but doesn't want to be an ass is very funny to me :p
Shhh...I love my cousin ;)
@@whitenoisereacts I know, I just think it's cute 😌
I’m seriously enjoying this series. I’ve forgotten how amazing the Hunger Games movies are!
Same. It’s really fun to revisit these!
You can see that by the end of this movie she genuinely does love Peeta. And it breaks her to know that the capital has him. They can kill him or worse, torture him.
catching fires my fave book & movie in the series too!! the part where they watched the hunger games where haymitch won ,,, damn. wish they included that in the movie but still, this was intense i love it lol
I was irritated that they completely skipped over Haymitch's background especially the reason why he is an alcoholic and that he says that no one truly wins.
No see I think they didn’t need to. It works more in a book and I think it was a cool subtle implication. U can tell he has history and that the games changed him, and that’s prbly why he drinks but they don’t need to give specifics
My instincts said to trust Finnick from the start. Katniss trusts no one so quickly, which is understandable.
Hearing Yeonmi Park, the one who escaped North Korea saying that The Hunger Games resembles that 'socialist paradise' gave me chills man.
Panem is pretty much a futuristic (larger in scale) North Korea.
“Socialist Paradise” where everyone EQUALLY starves(except the elitist few who controls all of the resources), yes!
this movie is a masterpiece!!! i've watched it so many times and it still hits so hard ughhh
Finnick is my absolute favorite character of the series. And Catching Fire is the best movie in the franchise, imo 😆❤️
Yer boyo that plays Finnick did an excellent job, he was my favourite character in the books and he translated the whole vibe onto screen really beautifully 💖🙌👏
been watching hunger games reactions all over this site and yours is prob one of the best because youre really dissecting this and looking at the tiny details that nobody ever really looks at
Be sure to let 9 Tail Brush know that Haymitch was in the previous quarter quell... where there were twice as many tributes as usual
I will
snow is one of my absolute favourite villains ever! the way donald sutherland brings him to life is one of my favourite things about the franchise. especially in the mockingjay book he's just so terrifying in an unconventional way
I understand how some people saw Peeta as kind of pathetic in the first book, but you have to look at the undertones. He was a fantastic PR man, his interview showed humor, depth, and connection in the first movie that was completely fake (except for the actually liking Katniss part) and succeeded in manipulating the careers to give Katniss a chance to find her way out of it. And in the end fight, he was invaluable. Yes, he ended up in a chokehold but he really showed his strength when he tossed Cato through the air and then proceeded to hold his own against a dude with a sword barehanded. Katniss saves Peeta many times in very obvious ways but he saves her in the smaller and more subtle ways.
I turned and loved Effie when she was heartbroken when Katniss and Peeta were chosen for the games again. This is my favorite movie because of how close to the book it is.
I agree about Peeta. In the first movie, I think they wanted Katniss to be the star with all the focus on her. They relegated him to a secondary role. Also, they played up him being the third wheel in her love triangle. That I think they did with the idea of the trilogy being a thing. Him appearing so weak in the beginning would give them more room to build him up through the story towards the ending. Still, the whole series is such an awesome set of movies considering they came from books. So many times they just cheap out hoping to cash in on the fans of the book watching it.
I don't think effie is oblivious, i think she knows exactly what she's doing and that is the reason she is how she is. In a fucked up society like that, having to watch young children be murdered (district 12 had had only 3 winners) she does her best to cheer than up before their imminent death. But it's different with katnisss, she has hope just as much as haymitch have. That's why her voice is so broken when calling katniss name again.
Thank you so much for this! I have Tourette's and was having a very bad tic day today and having this really calmed them down so thanks again!
Hey of course!! That can be really thought sometimes.I’m glad we could bring you a little distraction and entertainment
I just stumbled upon your channel and watched your first reaction which is the first The Hunger Games movie yesterday! And quickly subscribed because love your reactions and discussions
People that didn’t read wouldn’t understand how truly brave Peter where to volunteer he had a damn fake leg but they didn’t put it in the movie when they should havw
the fact that she maneged to survive, and also save peeta, and gale be like, oh, but do u like me tho? like DUDE, WE WERE FIGHTING TO THE DEATH, GET OVER URSELF.
You also have to remember that Katniss suppose to be "pregnant" so she probably have act like to is.
i just got your first hunger games reaction recommended to me like two hours ago and i was like damn the second one still isn’t up and i reopened youtube rn to see it LMAO
Ahh! Your title is definitely not hyperbole. I think the Hunger Games kind of set the standard for new age dystopian book-to-movie adaptations cause they were extremely popular, but also just good/great movies in general. Especially, Catching Fire! And the "I need you" scene is so beautiful with the scenery, the dialogue, the score. I get all the feels!
Catching Fire is the best movie out of the trilogy and my favorite. I love the movie so much better than the first movie. The only thing I wished we could’ve seen in the movie is a scene from the book where Katniss runs into two women wearing Peacekeeper uniforms and they reveal that they’re from District 13. It would’ve been so cool to see that but the movie is still really good and very entertaining to watch. It’s been so long since I’ve watched this movie.
I only recently found you guys, so I'm going through and watching some of your older stuff. I just have to say - that edit of Johanna stripping in the elevator straight to Katniss saying "move your hands down" was masterful 🤣. I wasn't looking at the screen at that moment and was like, "I don't remember her saying that to Haymitch." 🤣🤣🤣
i love this series but yalls commentary definitely makes this better. u two often have very different reactions but on the same wavelength, and getting to listen to u two analyze this series is so fun. i used to love this book when i was little and this reminds me exactly why
