I feel bad for Haymitch, he won the game once, and is forced to help train the tributes every year, knowing chances are they are not coming back, I do not blame him for drinking.
I agree with you. Haymitch was my favorite character in the series because I understood why he was a drunk. As you already know he was forced to participate in the games when he was only a teenager. He must had seen some things and done some things in order to survive. And over the years since then he been forced to get on the train each year and mentor the district 12 kids who was unlucky enough to be selected for the games only to watch them die and it got to the point where he didn't want to do it anymore which is why he was so reluctant to mentor Katness and Petta.
Being a mentor is not the only trauma Haymitch suffered after winning the Games -- the first and only from District 12 until Katniss and Peeta. You get a hint of it in the the 2nd book and movie and even a bigger hint in #3 (book and movie). I might comment on that later as you continue to watch. There's even a quick reference in this movie but VERY EASY to miss, even for people who have read the books because it's not mentioned until later. But I don''t want to introduce spoilers for you.
@@shirleydurr411 Sorry I forgot that part in the book, poor Haymitch got double punched, definitely sad and definitely explains the drinking even more.
Yeah for real imagine having to mentor 2 kids every year for 20+ years only to see them get slaughtered each time
@@shirleydurr411 The first and only MALE victor. District 12 had 2 victors prior to Katniss and Peeta.
The berries at the end was a punishment for the gamemaker for allowing both Katniss and Peta to win. He was locked in a room with nothing else to eat. He was expected to eat them so he would die. By allowing both tributes to win, President Snow understood that the threat to eat the berries to end the game with no winner was an act of defiance, not an act of love. He took it as the 'F YOU!' to the government it was meant to be and is now worried that other people will start doing the same and he will lose control.
👏👏 great analysis
well said...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) won the 50th Hunger Games. IF you win a Hunger Games, you're forced to mentor the tributes from your district every year until your death
You should read the books. They were a pleasure.
Also why he's an alcoholic and usually sleeps with a knife under his pillow is because during the fifth hunger games it was called a quarter quell and it had an additional rule twice the number of kids two boys and two girls from each district and he survived and they killed his entire family and his girlfriend because of how he survived made the capital look stupid the edge of the arena that year wasn't a wall it was a chasm and when anything fell down there it would bounce back up he figured that out early in the game then when he was severely injured at the end literally his guts were hanging out there was a girl I believe from two who was following him with an ax one of her eyes was hanging out so she was trying to finish him off while she could still kind of see where she was going out of the other one and he was just trying to find somewhere to get away from her he ran to the edge of the arena knowing there was that chasm there thinking he could fool her into yeeting the thing at him and he did he sort of coward at the edge of the arena and her from like a few yards away through the ax at him he dodged and then just kept down coloring and she approached to try to finish him off another way cuz she lost her axe he knew it was coming back when it did it hit her right between the eyes
And do other horrible things or else they will hurt/kill your loved ones. 😢
@@Travel__Spin yeah they'll learn that in part 2 well we will definitely inform them when the time is right
Holy shit, bro. You need to google how to use punctuation. One of MY eyeballs was hanging out of its socket by the end of that.
Katniss crying for Rue and showing her family that respect of decorating her with flowers before the body was removed was the first time someone from another district showed that they cared about other people in other districts. That was one of the actions that started bringing the districts together
And that was also one of the triggers that started the uprising in the Rue's district which started to spread into the other districts. You already saw the starting of the uprising in the one district but I spoiled a little the beginning of the second movie but I don't think I really ruined anything by saying that and when you know there's a second part you can kind of expect that something like that is about to happen and I didn't say anything about the scale or the duration of the uprising and I won't so you can only speculate before you go watch the second movie.
I think there will be many kinds of speculations and many will be wrong and only a few will guess it right so I almost didn't spoil anything really relevant.
Sweet little Rue
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He watched every tribute die after his win. 12 never won again
That was pure entertainment!😂 Y'all missed like 75% of the plot. Soo funny.🤦🏽♀️😂 Maybe watch one more time before moving to the next movie.
To be fair most of us read the books before seeing these movies in theater and fully understood the plot but this was hilarious 😆
@@TexasKittycat That's something that movie adaptations of books get wrong. When book series get a movie deal, it's because they were extremely popular, so the film maker assumes that everyone will understand the plot. Really, they need to make the movies under the assumption that NO ONE has read the books and is learning about the plot for the first time while still being entertaining to the fans of the books. It's a tricky balance and one of my biggest gripes with the Harry Potter movies.
I watched these movies before I read the books and I was fully capable of following everything.
It’s their job to talk during the movie so they miss things while they talk.
I feel like I need to see the full version because all the information they missed or didn't understand were explained in the parts they cut out of the youtube edit 😂
I think they use 12 to 18 year olds because you aren't a child anymore at 12 and using kids under 18 keeps the parents frightened and in line. Its always about control.
Control and cruelty. Killing kids has way more impact than adults.
You're right except you said it right first time which means many of them weren't under 18. I think at least about third of them were 18 and many also 17 so the ones who got drawn into the games at 12 or 13 had really bad luck already because of the low odds of that happening but when you consider who will be up against you they get a really raw deal in every way. I think it said in the beginning of the movie that these games are also some sort of punishment and a reminder that don't try to use your numbers and labor against us because we will stop at nothing if you do that.
And because so many Capital children starved during the first rebellion
Peeta burnt the bread on purpose so his mom would make him throw it out so he could give it to katniss, who was starving along with her family after her father passed in a mining accident
They were supposed to be 11yo in that scene. Peeta burned the bread on purpose. It was 2 loaves of expensive bread, even Peeta's family couldn't afford it. His mom beat him for it, he ended up with a black eye. This saved Katniss's whole family and gave them food for several days.
How the hell would you know that???
@@kimghanson Its said in the books
@@kimghanson it's explained in the book. And it shows how much they messed up that scene in the movie. They made it look like he did something bad and Katniss was mad at him. Whereas in the book, this is the moment that saved her family and gave her the hope she needed to be able to survive. She feels like she owes him so much and that's why when he's reaped with her, she thinks "oh no, not him".
👵🏻👍🏻♥️
Asia: "Uh, oh. Loo set her up!" Asia's so funny without even trying to be. You guys were killing me on this one. I couldn't stop laughing.
BJ: "And RIP to Lilly". Asia: "No, that's Loo!"🤦😂
Everyone else on the planet: "Her name is Rue!"
I thought she said "Little set her up". Thought she was calling her "Little" 😂
I'm very tired today! lol
😂
Me, me me!! That whole scene 😅, "It's Rue!!!" Haha
Also, because your family is starving, you can get flour and oil, but your name is entered in the lottery every time you do it.
Gayle has a mother and younger siblings to support, so he's entered his name a lot.
And this year was the last year he was eligible before aging out. Gale got LUCKY!
She shot the food in order to set off the mines.
Yes; the food supply was NOT poisoned. The strongest tributes (kids) gathered it all up both to live on it AND to lure the other tributes in to kill them.
Those dogs were so creepy in the books. They had the eyes and voices of the tributes that had already died.
I distinctly remember that from the books and that was one of the few things I noticed they left out. I know they left out a ton more, but the books description made such an impact, I was disappointed they didn’t add that super creepy detail. As if it all wasn’t messed up enough, ‘we’re going to haunt you with the recently departed you helped kill’ 😳
The whole “don’t take any food from them was Kat talking to her sister saying don’t take any extra food in exchange for putting your name in extra times. And the berries Peeta had found and Katniss knocked them out of his hands and then the other girl ate them, but since it was that guy’s (with the fancy trimmed beard) who came up with the idea to give the show hope by allowing two victors and it backfired cus Kat and Peeta out smarted them and both survived (President Snow never wants the people to think they have power), he decided to punish the guy with the way they almost took themselves, as some poetic revenge.
Also the name of the berries is Nightlock. Remember this
They clearly said that little girl's name was Rue, but Asia INSISTED her name was Lue 😂😂😂😂
😂❤
If you don't watch all of the series, you'll never know who she ends up with. They are all good movies.
I wanna see thier reaction to the last 1 songbird
If you notice one district is farming, one district is textiles. One district is mining and so on…. The workers dominions the people that make things possible the invisible ones. Such as today’s society. that’s what makes this series of movies so relatable.
The "H" name on the piece of paper on the parachute was Haymitch, their mentor. As I understand it, the berries at the very end was for the guy who revoked the rule at the end that 2 champions could be crowned, was basically told to eat the deadly berries. He embarrassed President Snow/the government by giving into Katniss and Peta when he reinstated the rule.
His name was entered 42 times. Every year from the age of 12, your name is entered +1. So a 12 year old has their name entered once. A 13 year old 2x, a 14 year old 3x, etc. Also, whenever you ask for food your name is entered 5x
ive watched 100 times an did not catch that i hope they watch all of them
The books explain a lot more. The movies are a decent adaption but they definitely should have included more details
I haven't read any of the books but I think they made it pretty clear how it works. Angel laid it out pretty clearly. The older you get more of your names go into the bowl and you can get flour and I think some other food that will last for months for a one person but if you accept the food you're basically buying it by getting even more of your names going in so your odds won't definitely forever be in your favor and that's why he had 42 names in there.
@salli3929 the films don't show that except for the 42 line. It's in the novel. Also, when you look at the scene where she picks the name, there isn't even 42 pieces of paper in there, much less the hundreds that should be in there since Gail wasn't the only to get food the past year
Also if they can get food if they put their name in more times
Lenny Kravitz was so good in this! 💙 Rue’s death was the fire to the flames of an entire revolution. Katniss took her death very seriously and personally. Happy Mother’s Day Asia! 💐💖🌸🌹
The seeds of this story are actually based on Greek myth. Athens was tasked with sending 14 of their children, 7 boys and 7 girls, to Crete to be sacrificed to the Minotaur in the Labryinth.
Almost all of the names have Roman/Greek origin…Coriolanus, Cato, Caesar, Seneca, Castor, Pollux, Claudius, Flavius, Octavia, Plutarch etc. That is probably why you we’re picking up on the Roman gladiator comparison, which is apt, but it is based on the Geek Minotaur myth!
Oh shoot! I knew that and still said Rome in my comment. Lol. My memory sucks. X) Thanks for your comment!
@@xzonia1 Greek/Roman is so easy to get confused since Rome was born out of Greece and they share so much!
Geez; thanks; I never figured that out from the books I read!
Suzanne Collins (the author) was even more clever than I thought! 😊
I always thought it WAS Roman influence, because everything about the Capitol is the decadent Fall of Rome perfectly blended with the peak of Versailles indulgence culture.
@@TheLisa-Al-Gaib I agree with you!
These 4 movies are based on three books. The books are considered "young adult" literature, but the story is very dark and unforgiving. It paints a bleak picture of human nature and society, but also offers a ray of hope in the end. Thanks for sharing this one. If you watch the following movies, pay close attention. Everything you need to know to follow the story is in the movies.
Human nature is very bleak if left without morals and unfortunately, humans are corrupt in many ways so our world is very much like this already. This story reminds me of the real life Stanford prison experiment.
Gale put his name in 42 times. If you want extra food, you can put your name in more times, which will increase your odds of being chosen. That's why Katniss told Prim not to put her name in extra times.
President Snow made the game maker (aka guy with the beard) was forced to eat the night lock berries that Katniss & Peeta was going to eat at the end of the games. I’m excited to see the rest of your reactions to this series.
FYI, her name is Rue, not Loo
Her name is significant because rue is a type of weed, like a dandelion, just as primrose is a type of flower (rose). So Katniss sees her sister in Rue and wants to protect her just as she did Primrose when volunteering to be tribute, and it crushes her when Rue dies. So well thought out, the little details in these books.
I had to go back and check and she did say, “Lou” and I died. 😂
They will rue the day they called Rue Loo
@@xzonia1Katniss is a plant as well. Just pointing that out for anyone who doesn't know. 😊
@@xzonia1And realizing that she could pick dandelion greens is how Katniss was galvanized to start finding ways to feed her mom and sister.🎯
This and it's sequels were Huge. This one made almost 700 million at the box office.
Not sure if you guys understood, the pile of supplies she shot at was set up by the other players, not the game masters.
Cato and his 3 allies are from Districts 1 and 2. Those districts train in a special academy in their respective districts for the Games until they're 18 or so, and then they volunteer. That's why they were all so lethal and sociopathic. Cato's words to Katniss about always being dead is a nice commentary on how his district's people serves no purpose other than to be walking corpses that do nothing but kill and die for the Capital's entertainment. He has no moment like that in the books, and I think the movie's choice is an improvement. Also the next movie is one of the best sequels ever made. You will truly enjoy that one.
The girl that throws the knives is the actress Isabelle Fuhrman, that played the "orphan" in the movies Orphan and Orphan: First Kill. ❤
the capital is like first class then the districts number tells you their living status. One being the richest and 12 being the poorest. every district has a main job that supports the capital, 12 are the coal miners.
Blue ridge mountain/West Virginia area. The capital is probably like Utah. There's maps people have made that divide the US up into the districts.
Really it was Rue that started the revolution. I mean, it was the respect that Katniss showed the district, but it was Rue's death that opened their eyes and united them. They started to become one group instead of separate districts and realized they were all in this together when Katniss made the salute.
I think you guys should DEFINITELY watch a couple short videos explaining exactly what is going on with the games BEFORE you try to watch Catching fire it’s important you understand how it works.
This might be answered later in the video, but the TV show Asia is thinking of in the intro is probably Squid Game. Similar vibes.
The 42 times, is how many times his names was in the drawing. If you go to them for food or essentials, they help you but each time they help your names go in. So it’s more likely you can get chosen
Beat me to it lol
There's 4 movies. I feel like y'all didn't get the point of the games so I'll explain (none of this is spoilers; it's stuff you should've picked up in this movie you just watched but the book explains better than the movie does).
This movie is set in the distant future of America (long after the USA has fallen). The Districts rebelled against the cruel, oppressive Capitol; as punishment, they must send 2 children, one boy and one girl, each year to compete in the Hunger Games as a reminder to never fight for their freedom again. Only one child is allowed to survive; all others must die. They make the Games as horrifying as possible to keep the Districts in line. The Capitol's society is modeled off of ancient Rome, generally speaking, but in a modern way.
Instead of credit cards, people can receive supplies they need (food, water, clothing, etc) by entering their kid's name into the contest for x amount of credit to spend when they have nothing to trade / exchange. Once their credits are all used up, they enter their kid's name again. Gale, the oldest sibling in his family, refused to allow his parents to enter his siblings' names more than the mandatory one entry each year; his name was always the one they gave, which is why it was entered 42 times that year. His family is very poor.
Haymitch (played by Woody Harrelson and the H- name on the gift they received asking about the kiss) was a previous Hunger Games winner from when he was a kid, which is why he must now mentor contestants each year for the rest of his life. Winning doesn't mean your torment is over. He has to go with, get to know, and watch the new kids die every year, helpless to truly help them. Hence why he drinks himself blind much of the time.
The books are amazing and worth the read. There's so much in them that they didn't have time to put into the movies, but they really did an incredible job with the movies overall. So happy y'all are reacting to them! Can't wait for you to see the next one! :D X)
As an oldish guy, I'm forever grateful to the librarian who told me I should read this young adult series. Katniss and Lisbeth(the girl with the dragon tattoo) are among my favorite literary and movie heroines.
I need you guys to rewatch this film and pay attention bc you will continue being lost in the next film. The girls name was Ru and she is an important element in this film and the next.

The more food you get from the government the more they put your name in for the one drawing. Thats why when Katniss was leaving she told prim not to get too much food from them or her name would be entered more and she told her male friend to not let them starve because she told prim not to ask the government for food. Thats why he had his name in 42 times cuz he asked them for food in exchange for more draws put in the same basket for the same year. So the more food you get the higher the chance that you go to the games.
It’s Rue!!
So excited they're finally watching The Hunger Games!!
Okay, so I see others have already informed you that Haymitch was a past winner.
The 50th game, its also something that is called "The Second Quarter Quill."
Every 25 years there is something "special"... For Haymitch he is the ONLY survivor from TWO boys and TWO girls from EACH district. 1 out of 48 Tributes.
This information about every 25 years is important for your next movie.
Have fun...
And may the odds be ever in your favor.
"Quarter *Quell* ." As in, "quell any further rebellions,"
I almost feel like they were transported to Earth a few years ago when they started their channel
President Snow (Donald Sutherland) runs the country of Panem and plays a huge role in the later films
They blew up that stockpile so the bullies didn’t have any of it. That stockpile could have given the others a huge advantage over katniss and Peeta. Better to destroy it and let their enemies struggle like Peeta and katniss. The bowl of berries at the end was president Snow telling the man (head game maker) to kill himself bc the games ended in a way Snow didn’t like. On another note, In the beginning they took the blood of all the participants simply to keep track of all of them. And Gales name was in the drawing 42 times bc during the year prior to the games, each time you get extra food or medicine from the Capital they put your name in the drawing another time. Which increases your odds of being chosen.
District 12 is the poorest district so they put their names in for food or supplies and that’s why Gale was in there 42 times.
Fastest Hunger Games I have seen. Glad to see you finally watched it. Watching Catching Fire next? Districts one and two train all their lives to "volunteer".
Lol... Asia weirded out by all the makeup and looks in the capital. 😂 Girl, have you not seen a fashion show or the met gala?
Boy George would have fit right in.
Both fashion shows and the met gala really weird me out personally 😂
I have never been so frustrated watching a reaction 😆🤣😂 But also very entertained at the same time. Watching everything go over both of your heads was hilarious.
😂😂😂😂😂
I hope you'll watch the rest of the series! Gale's name was entered 42 times in the drawing because of the way food is given to each family at their homes. They get a basic amount but Gale has a large family. Each time he had to ask the Capitol for extra food, his name was entered again. After 6 years of this, his name was entered 42 times. This is why Katniss told her sister not to take extra food. The food in the arena wasn't poisoned. It was just those berries called nightlock that were poisonous.
When you guys can, check out "Silver linings playbook" with Jennifer Lawrence as well. Great film!
They missed a lot but I enjoyed their very real blind reaction to this movie. I hope they read the details provided in the comments section then watch the movie one more time before watching the next one.
The way they kept calling Rue other names until the end of the vid is so funny. 😂
Normally, I can't stand when reactors miss so much of the plot/meaning, but I adore y'all so much that I still enjoyed this reaction. 😅 Hopefully, y'all study up before the next one, though, because that one ("Catching Fire") is my favorite! Lol.
The "Hunger Games" movies are based on a dystopian YA books series with HEAVY topics. There are 4 movies (the third book is separated into two movies), plus a prequel that came out fairly recently. Get locked in because y'all are about to go on a journey! ❤
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you ❤
@decadentdevil:❤Thank you so very much!
I've watched the first Hunger Games film more times than I can count now. The director did such a good job at getting Katniss' feelings to be known to us watching on a screen without resorting to the disembodied voiceover that movies like Divergent and Twilight resorted to. Since the Hunger Games books are written from Katniss' point of view, it would likely have been the easy way out to go with a Katniss voice over but Gary Ross instead chose shaky cam and jarring cuts to emphasize when Katniss didn't have control versus when she did have control and the camera would steady. We get inside her head without her breaking the fourth wall. A lot of vocal people seem to not like the shaky cam but I personally prefer it over being talked at. I enjoy figuring out what's going on myself through watching (over and over), not being told as though I'm incapable of figuring it out.
District 12 is very much reminiscent of The Great Depression while the Capitol reminds me of The Chicago World's Fair of 1933 ('A Century of Progress.' Definitely look up the poster for it if you get a chance.) Even now, I'm still picking up on more detail in this first film that I didn't notice before. In my own life, the things I go through shape what I pick up on in the film so I notice new things all the time. I told my mom the other day, The Hunger Games has the possibility to be timeless, the way the Sound of Music is. Even though The Sound of Music is a year shy of sixty, the themes of the film are still all too relatable two/three generations later. The Hunger Games is like that already. How much more of an impact could this film have in another 50 years?
The berries were poisoned, snows signature way he killed people.
Katniss shot the food to destroy their food supply, it wasn’t poisoned.
BJ comes from the Richard Pryor school of facing trouble. RUN ! RUN! Teach your woman to RUN! so you don't have to go back after her. lol .
Damn, LOL, y'all missed EVERYTHING with this story. Before you watch "Catching Fire", you guys need to watch this again, just to watch it. You have to understand the story before you go forward.
Also, who's Lou? 🤣
Her name was Rue, not Lou.
@@drooney9 You missed the joke. I know it was Rue.
Up until this movie series hero characters were rarely affected by their actions. This one shows the price in PTSD paid for living through such harrowing events and decisions. I really appreciate this aspect.
"a baby marsupial!" omg i almost peed my pants laughing!!
The berries were poisonous. They left them at the end for the Gamemaker because he inadvertently helped Katniss and Peeta win the Hunger Games. It was his punishment. This is only the beginning. There are still 3 more movies left. The Next Movie is Catching Fire, then Mockingjay pts 1 and 2, and finally Snakes and Songbirds which is a prequel to the trilogy.
This movie might be worth watching again as there are many breadcrumb details within the movie that are easily missed that explain alot of the questions. The next two movies build off of this one, so you really need to kind of understand all that is going on, and it will eventually explain why the Games even started...
Glad you guys enjoyed the movie though!
Movie is scary now that it might become reality in the very near future.
A-effin-men!!!
"My bad it looked like a baby platypus!" 😂😂😂
"They look like a bull mastiff on HGH..."
OMG I'M DEAD! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
So Gail's name was put into the hopper where they picked the male and female names out of 42 times. Think of it as the NBA lottery the more ping pong balls that you have the better your chance of getting the number one overall draft choice. In this case the number of one overall draft choice is getting picked to be the mail representative of the hunger games for your district. His name was put in 42 times because he needed to get extra food or needed help from the government so every time that you need an assistance you had to put your name in additional times. If that makes sense
Fly like an eagle is not Lenny Kravitz. Smh 🤦♂️
And the little girls name is not Lilly.. or Lou.. it’s Rue
Y’all missed a LOT in this. Hope you enjoy the sequels
They're thinking of his song Fly Away, I think
@@didamnesia3575 Yes. Which is definitely not the song BJ was singing lol.
@@hypocritex I think they had been drinking before this one. They're so far off lol
PanAM does not care about ages. The younger the better for them to keep the districts in line by fear. Katniss just gave the districts hope to stop this vicious cycle.
You guys are great! This brought back memories of when you watched “The Phantom Menace”, went through the whole movie, and still didn’t know it was taking place before the original Star Wars. Funny as heck!!!
FYI… Fly like an eagle is by Seal, not Lenny Kravitz.
When sis said Lou (rue) set Katniss up I fell out!😂😂.
This is loosely based off the US, District 12 is Appalachia, District 1 & 2 are west coast like California, District 13 is New England, District 11 is the southern region around the ocean and gulf, the Midwest and western part of the country hold the other districts. The games are played as a punishment for the uprising/civil war that happened over 70 years earlier, each district is forced to send 2 of their youth to ensure no uprising will happen again.
Also, Effie is the absolute best part of all 3 movies!
edit: the dogs at the end, in the book had the voices of all the tributes that had already died in this game. So, Katniss heard Rue's voice, it was a mental game.
1:36 "Squid Games" must watch BTW.
42:03 exactly, her tactics were "Guerrilla* Warefare", rob the enemy of nice things to destroy their capability/willingness of fighting.
Guerrilla warfare
@@SecretSqrlGrl007 ...... uhmmm it was spell check...... lol
Yes, I can see how if the squid game came up and was compaired to the hunger games you could think that thay are bothe tv shows😊
Flame beard was given the bowl of berries to "un-alive" himself as punishment for NOT being able to destroy the two winners.
Cool fact about this movie is the tree that katniss slept in was my sister’s college professors tree that the location scout found on his property. A lot of this movie was shot in North Carolina.
The games are to remind the districts that they are under the capital's control, and every kid starting at age 12 in each district has their name put into the draw to represent their district, one boy and one girl. If they take tokens to get food or other supplies, they trade that for extra times their name goes into the draw - that was the '42' number Gale was talking about, his name was in there that many times because of all of the extra times he's had to trade.
They play the games to try to keep them in line, but as you saw after Rue died, some of them are starting to revolt against the capital's control -- you'll have to watch the next movies to see what happens!
Katniss shot the bag of apples to make them fall and set off the mines, in order to blow up everything else. Hope you watch the rest of them :)
I can't believe you've never seen this series!! It's so good! My favorite!!! I read the books also and highly suggest that. The books are soo great an give a lot more detail.
Ok, the number 42 is the number of times Gail's name was in the reaping bowl. Here's how it works. Starting at age twelve every child's name is put into the bowl once and for every year after that the child's name is entered again. So someone who is 12 will have their name entered once and an 18 year old would have his or her name entered seven times. The wrinkle comes if you take extra food rations from the Capital. Every time you take extra rations your name is entered again. According to the book Gail was 18 so he had his name in the bowl seven times for the number of years he was eligible to be reaped and 36 times because he took extra rations during those seven years.
Those little parachute things were gifts from the sponsors and they paid a lot of money for them and the H at the end of each note stands for Haymich or whatever the Woody Harrelson's character's name is. You could even see at least one or two times when he went to the sponsors to ask/beg/negotiate for those gifts for the kids (Katniss&Peta).
And the little girl's name was Rue, not Lou or Boo 😂 They said it so many times during the movie like when the older boy from her district saved Katniss's life while she was retrieving the medicine for Peta when the boy even said after the incident something like "just this one time 12, for Rue".
i really didn’t expected them not to get the movie 😭😭but completely understandable at the same time given the fact they went in full blind. Glad they still liked it ✨✨
When she shoots the apple and then takes a bow is just so good. (A lot of your questions are answered in the book. the movie is good, but a lot of the details are just kinda left out so it's hard if you dont know the backstory)
The hybrid mutts in the book were so much more terrifying. They had faces that resembled the fallen tributes and the sounds they made resembled screams.
my favorite is the 5th movie The Hunger Games (March 23, 2012)
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (November 22, 2013)
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (November 21, 2014)
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2(November 20, 2015)
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (November 17, 2023)
I think all you folks being so rude hateful and technical... They are who they are and react how they react! I'm here because they make me laugh! Get the rod out and just enjoy! Or...... Move on! Love you guys! A&B❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
OMG YAY!! Please watch the whole Hunger Games series theyre even better than the first! The bowl of berries given to the Gamemaker at the end was basically them forcing him to un alive himself for allowing both Katniss and Peeta to win. It was to show they got rid of him, it was his punishment. Also, when Gale said his name was put in the running 40 something times, its in the books, you can enter your name in the pot extra times for extra food rations. Its cruel, they allow you extra rations so you dont starve but you only get them if you enter your name more. Meaning Gale has had to get extra food a lot. Thats why Katniss told Primrose not to enter her name for rations, Gale would hunt food for her.
I had a cousin who saw this in the theater. She walked out when they started killing each other; she couldn't handle seeing children kill other children.
lol did she not watch the trailer before going to the theater?
She definitely shouldn’t see Battle Royale then 😂
@katielee7364 prob not. She doesn't watch much TV. Very naive and was expecting kids to ban together and outsmart Snow. And she was in her 50's at the time.
Giving Katniss an 11 definitely put a target on her back for the other tributes
The Berry's in the Bowl are for the Game master, He was locked in that room. Message is your dead gamemaster for Messing up.
The names were already in the bowls. The blood was for DNA identification; Primrose's name appeared on the screen as soon as her blood touched the sensor.
It’s a documentary
I’m so excited y’all are doing this series 😊
Oh and the 2nd one is the BEST of the series! You need to watch them all because together they tell a whole story - like Lord of the Rings. You can't really stop at one.
This was such a fun reaction!
Katniss told Prim not to take any food from them because it meant that they’d then put her name in the reaping bowl more times the following year. Katniss got rid of the apples because she used them to blow everything up to destroy their stash so Cato and his group didn’t have as much as of an advantage.
Hope you watch the next movies, it’s such a good series!
Happy Mother's Day Asia.
Haymitch won what it's called a quarter quell when the tribute's reaping is different every time. In his games ( 50th) there where twice as much tributes so instead of 2 for each district there where 4 so he saw 47 people die. Since the 50th hunger games none ever won from district 12 so Haymitch kept mentoring kids and saw them die each time. So basically when you win you become mentor but since there was none else Haymitch has been doing this for 24 games that's why he drinks himself to stupor
RESPECTFULLY, Asia looks better and better every. single. time. Better than fine wine.
Ok, back to the reaction. Thank you and cheers
they don’t discuss it in the movie but in the book rue tells katniss how district 11 was (not shown in the movie) predominantly and almost all black people,(it’s also hinted the capital purposely had them put in district 11)and the “peacekeepers” were purposely extra violent towards them compared to any other district. in the catching fire book, when katniss has to visit all districts as victor she describes how those in district 11 have barbed wire fences taller than other district fences with watchtowers and armed guards. we are then told they have to work on fields wearing straw hats, basically showing how the capital went right back to slavery
Lilly’s dad freaking out gets me every time.
I'm with you. If I'm about to die, I'm not eating Brussels sprouts. I'd go straight to the desserts.
Y’all got a bunch of haters in your comments yikes! I think you guys did a good job understanding most of it even though you went in completely blind. I think the stuff you were confused about wasn’t explained very well in the movie. There are 3 books in the series and recently they did a prequel from when Snow was young. The first three books were made into 4 movies (the last book was split into two films) and the prequel was made into a movie just within the last year or two I forget. There is soooo much in the books that do not translate well into the films. I can’t wait to see if you react to them all. I always enjoy your reactions, I’d rather watch a movie with you two then probably 80% of reactors on UA-cam ❤
Thank you so very much!
It's showtime! Buckle up and get ready for a wild series. This was a good role for Jennifer Lawrence. She has the emotions and yes, this movie was made fun of for different reasons. Nice reaction guys, this was a fun watch. It gets more crazy the next few films. The novels will explain a lot. The Running Man (1987) with Arnold Schwarzenegger reminds me of this film.
Catniss's boyfriend, the tall one, is the brother of Thor, from the Avengers
That’s actually not her boyfriend, just a friend she grew up with that had a crush on her
@@chasityrodriguez95 They were hot lovers
That’s her best friend/hunting partner named Gale. He’s been her friend for about 4 years and have had a crush on her for about 6 months by this point in the movie. Katniss didn’t have time for all that romance thing bc she was so focused her family’s survival. She was quite lost on how to deal with the boys’ affections while trying to save them at the same time.
Definitely not her boyfriend, when Katniss finds out he has a crush on her she’s completely surprised and confused by where that comes from lol
Eddy back from Myrtle Beach SC Filmed in mountains of NC in the woods near Asheville NC! The stage where she showed her fire dress in Raleigh NC ! Love channel my friends !
Your comments at 7:33 are really good points. The Capitol really wants to portray these children as subhuman and savage, deserving of being put in a fight to the death arena, just because they come from the districts. So they put them in these brutal, violent situations just to reinforce their negative view of the districts as brutal, etc. It mirrors mentalities we have in the real world very well IMO.
