The ratings they received after training was on a 12-point scale. Katniss didn’t exceed the max of 10. She got 11/12. Glad you’re doing the whole series. It’s one of my favorites.
The reason Cato acted very different at the end of the games, was because he realized his position. As Haymitch explained, the upper districts have as a custom to train kids and make them believe that being in the Hunger Games is such a big honor, so they take pleasure in killing since they've been taught that doing so will bring honor and pride to their district and themselves. Cato by the end of the game just realizes how he actually had no chance against district 12 due to the popularity they held and that things up to that moment in his life have just been pointless. He says "I can still do this" reading himself to snap Peeta's neck, he doesn't mean "I can still win", he means it as an "I can still do what I've been told to do, to the bitter end, I'm dead anyway". That is just, so sad. Cato is not a villain, it is another victim of the twisted system of the Capitol.
You’re mostly right but I don’t think he said that because he thought District 12 was more popular, he said that because at the end he realised he, like the other tributes, were just pawns for the Capitol’s entertainment - he had been deluded into thinking training and participating was prideful. He wasn’t anything special and it truly was his life in the end that he lost.
@@beelectables no, I definitely think it’s because he knew that he didn’t have a chance anymore against 12. As we see from especially the third book, district 2 is the capitols most favorite child, they’re either as rich or richer than district one and most of the people who live there are incredibly privileged, comfortable, and loyal to the capitol. I find it VERY hard to believe that Cato would give up on his loyalty to the capitol when to him, even at this point, the capitol has not wronged him, district 12 has. Suzanne Collins really emphasizes how one of the main purposes of the games are to pit the rich and poor districts against eachother. You can see his disdain for district 12, the poorest district, when peeta and katniss wear their flaming outfits, the poor districts are not supposed to stick out or make a statement at all, that’s for the rich districts to do. After reading the books many times and watching the movies, I’m still convinced that Cato is not mad at the capitol because that doesn’t really make sense with his character, he’s just angry that the people who are not supposed to be supported and liked by the capitol are.
In the books at this moment, you get to see through Katniss' thought process in a way you can't in the movie --
In the books it describes how they are at a momentary standstill. Cato is not theatening to break Peeta's neck, he is _effectively_ choking him out. So Cato could still win by waiting for Peeta to knock out, then using him as a meat shield while charging Katniss. Katniss can see that he is calculating the situation, notices the determination set in on his face and works out the plan herself just as he's coming up with it, so she has to desperately come up with a counter-plan before Peeta suffocates. Peeta marks the hand, she shoots, yada yada the rest is history-- but that's what (I believe) that last part of the speech from Cato is trying to reflect: the momentary despair of 2v1, then the determination that "no... I can still do this."
Also, I'm convinced that the rest of the speech ("I'm dead anyway... always was... Is that what they wanna see?!?" & etc.) was added in to change how we--the movie audience--see Cato. Until now, he has come across as a much older, scarier, calculated psychopath. These comments, the pain in his voice, the fear and despair--these work to let his mask slip a little bit to remind us that underneath it all, he's actually just a scared kid who's a victim of the games too, and reveals he's also playing it up for the cameras.... But the moment passes too quickly in the movie, and the movie isn't able to show well how much everyone is faking for the camera as part of their survival strategy, so you don't _really_ pick up any of this until you've read through the books and watched through the movies many many times each. (Or at least, I didn't until recently.)
If you read all the way to the bottom, thank you for listening to my spiel and taking this deep dive with me! 🥰✨
Haymich didnt kill 23 people. He was in the 50th hunger games. He had to survive 47 people. And then for 23 years he had to train 2 new people each year just to see them die.
Oh, and then let's not forget what usually happens to the "winners". They basically get rented out to whomever under the treat of their family being killed.
The Quarter Quell.
Also, he surely didn't kill all his adversaries himself, since they were all busy trying to kill each other, too.
@@bigdream_dreambig Rather think the Coach aspect is what completely broke him rather than the game itself.
Why hello there, Mr. Spoiler. Without A Warning Label. How are we today?
@@sianne79 it's not a spoiler since it isnt mentioned in the movies at all and it doesnt change anything for the movie experience.
Peeta is the best, sweetest character ever. And his love is 100% genuine!
Peeta in the books >>>>>
@@leoniekpp8436 real i am in love with that man
I _love_ how she kept referring to Cato as the "Backstreet Boy". It cracked me up every time
14:01, The training that Foxface is performing on that module is basically testing how familiar she is with the flora of whatever environment will be used for the Games. It's specific purpose is to see if Tributes could identify which plants are useful or edible, and which plants are poisonous when they're in the arena. It's dependable if the plants that pop onto the screen that Foxface is clicking on are the ones she recognize as advantageous or hazardous.
Ironically enough, this becomes important when we see Foxface's death later in the film. When she sneakily took the nightlock berries from Peeta, despite the fact that they were poisonous, it was left to speculation on why this happened. Foxface is a very clever and calculating character, who managed to make it to the final five thanks to her wit and evasive tactics. And given how efficiently she performed on that module during training hours, she obviously knows a thing or two about plant life. So, it didn't make sense for her to take nightlock berries if she were knowledgeable of how poisonous they are.
Because of how enigmatic this was, people came to two probable conclusions on the transaction. One, she was probably low on food and was desperately trying to save herself from starvation. So, she blindly took and ate the berries, not caring if they were dangerous. The book described her physical condition at the time as being emaciated, so there's some credibility there. Two, she knew exactly what those berries were and chose to commit suicide. This is probably due to her realizing that she stood no chance against any of the remaining tributes, who were all more physically capable and skilled than her (these were Katniss, Peeta, Cato, and Thresh). So, this was basically her calling it quits and choosing to die in a less brutal way. Both possibilities are very unfortunate in retrospect.
Mind you, this is only concerning the film version of the character. The book never described Foxface as being knowledgeable about plants 😅. But Suzanne Collins, the original author of said book(s), did help with making the screenplay for this film. So there is a possibility that this detail regarding Foxface could've been an idea created by her.
I think the first conclusion you said can have an added detail that she must have been watching Peeta pick them and then out of hunger just assumed they were good since he was getting them too, great explanation :))
@@christinasnyder4766 There we go, more credibility to that possibility 😁. By that retrospective, one can't fully blame Foxface for Peeta's ignorance 😅. I guess in a way, he kinda inadvertently killed her 😆. Foxface was either very desperate or unfortunately mistaken.
@@2gredvisions8560 yeah Peeta did technically kill her, foxface in the books wasn’t shown to know much about plants at all. The reason why she was sly was because her strategy was that she’d steal other tributes food and supplies in small amounts so they wouldn’t noticed. Since Peeta was collecting the berries, foxface took some because she genuinely thought they were safe since Peeta was going to eat them. Peeta did kill her accidentally by doing this and in the book he even feels really guilty about it because he didn’t mean to.
@@clover2739 That's very much the case in the book 😅. Though, I think it's more of Peeta and Katniss presuming that that's what happened to her. It's kinda sad when you actually think about it. Foxface died innocently thinking she was just stealing edible food. Peeta felt bad because I don't think he actually intended on killing anybody in the Games. It's very unfortunate for all parties involved, Foxface moreso. I suppose in the film, the incedent is more suggestible due to it showing her proficiency in plant identification, thus placating the questionable action.
@@2gredvisions8560 yeah I think the whole suicide thing is just a theory that people got from the movies, I think that scene that showed her with the plants was just added to show that she was more on the ‘smart’ side since we don’t hear Katniss’ opinions on her, rather than to hint that but it’s understandable why them adding that in created this theory.
Peeta took a beating from his mother for burning the bread. But in reality, he did it on purpose to give it to Katniss. Ever since her father died, her family was slowly starving to death and when we see her in the rain, she had actually given up. But Peeta giving her the bread gave her a second wind to save her family, and I believe that's when she started to hunt to feed her mother and sister. Everything Peeta says about his feeling are 100% genuine. And everything he does in the game(s) is to save Katniss
Also those events happened years ago when Katniss was eleven and her mother went through a severe depression therefor couldn't take care of her children or herself.
Katniss didn‘t miss the shot at the evaluation because of the pressure of being evaluated, but because she was used to the bows at home which she made herself. Shooting with an industrially build bow was just different so she miscalculated at first but adjusted for it perfectly at the second shot!
The dog-monsters in the book were worse. Not only were they strong, fast, and big, they also had been designed with the faces of the fallen tributes. Not literally, but with each face having enough of a resemblance to make it clear who you were looking at.
Each mutt/dog had the eyes of the fallen tributes and the fur of each of them were the colour and texture of the tributes hair
And the 1st one Katniss shoot resembles Rue if I remember correctly
@@rim_on7362 wow
Agreed
I haven’t seen this in the comments yet so for anyone wondering:
37:30 the one kid who is left to guard the supplies is teamed up with the careers because he is the one who set up the explosive traps. The careers didn’t know how to do something like that. Extra reason why when it went wrong Cato just snapped his neck because he was no longer useful to the careers
The whole setting of the Capitol is supposed to remind us of Ancient Rome, even the name of the country, Panem, which comes from "Panem et Circenses", an old strategy of roman government to keep the people fed and entertained, in order to make them controllable. You might've heard of those coliseum fights with the gladiators and lions and everything, pretty much the same thing the Capitol does to the districts with the Hunger Games.
wow now everything made more sense lol i did feel like the name plutarch rings a bell
They named their country "bread"...?! 🥖😕🫓
@@Skye_Writer while it is true that slaves fought in the arenas, consenting, full-time gladiators were a major thing. And the fights didn't often go to death (except with animals, disgustingly), since you don't want your stars dying all the time for various reasons.
The huge "games" you describe were very expensive, and didn't happen nearly as often as movies can make it seem. Those are still some crazy stats you're spitting though, wild!
There is also a hidden reference to a greek myth about 7 young boys and 7 maiden that were sacrificed to a Minotaur in a labyrinth untill a hero finally defeated the Minotaur.
I love The Hunger Games trilogy. It's more than a teenage movie, it has a political layer (and a pretty depressing one). It's a franchise about the medias, about power, who wields, how they wield it, what's the purpose of their actions, their decisions, etc.
Umm, both of them surviving is the plot twist. LOL
The lady gaga music that comes in when you're trying to hold back your smile when Jessie says he's not a good guy cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
If I remember correctly, the boy on guard is from a technological district, and he is the one who repurposed the mines. So that's why they're allowing him to be in their alliance. Until he fails of course.
I’m surprised when she said there is no plot twist like girl, the plot twist is already in front of you. You just have to analyze it to get it.
They never really mentioned in the movies, but your name is submitted once when you’re 12 and progressively more times the older you get, they will also add your name in more times if you get in trouble or if you trade it for certain food stocks (which also means that the poorer and hungrier you are, most likely your name is in more times) - and it’s cumulative every year, the total doesn’t reset, so prim got chosen on her one entry whereas I think Gale or Katniss had like 40 or 50 entries.
Its hard to notice with how fast they cut away from it, but the scene where's she's tripping off the venom and it shows that portrait of her father- the next cut shows all of the miners with her father's face. I thought that was a nice detail they put to show how much his death haunts her and just how much that venom can affects even your memories
The Berries and both characters staying alive is the plot twist😉
The "Career" tributes come from the more wealthy districts that are closer to the Capital and were seeing the same Killer ESPN stuff that was playing in the Capital along with being taught for years that the other districts were not like them in order to make it easier for them to kill the other tributes. We know that making people feel like the enemy is the "Other" aka "unworthy and evil" works, but I believe right there at the end that Cato backstreet boy finally realized that even though he had been trained, in the end the Capital didn't care about him any more than any other tribute - all they wanted was a spectacular death they could broadcast. Too bad he didn't get that earlier.
I truly believe that Peeta was in love with Katniss and he had been for years, just like he said on the show, and he joined the Careers by telling them he could find her, but he really intended to protect her as long as he could to give her a better chance. I believe Katniss went to find Peeta at first because she needed someone to take care of in order to get past her grief for Rue, just like she got past her grief for her father by taking care of Prim. I don't think the calculation part came up in her mind until Peeta told her how he felt in the cave, and then I think she wanted them both to survive and go home. But I also think she realized Peeta really loved her and because she didn't know what to think about that she focused on playing the game instead.
So at the end of this movie Katniss just wants to get home and lie low to protect her family and try to get over her bad experiences in the game; Peeta is going home alive but convinced Katniss was playing with his heart to win the game and he doesn't know what to feel about that; and President Snow is left to deal with some districts that are rebellious because a dirt poor girl from District 12 went into the Hunger Games and showed that she was strong, had courage, and cared about the people rather than what district they were from - and the two tributes she killed were in defense of Rue and to stop Cato from being ripped apart by creatures sicced on them by the Capital.
23:00 they didnt "come up" with it. It was the truth and so Peeta just said it.
I’ve read the books and seen all the movies. Katniss and Peeta are two of my favorite characters. Peeta is the character I love most in the series. Josh HUTCHERSON is a cutie as well. Peeta’s feelings for Katniss are genuine.
They didn't say in the movie, but in the book the kid that allies with the careers is like from the district that deals with explosives(maybe weapons or something I don't remember) so thats why the careers bothered to ally with hin cuz he knew how to work the mines.
Loved your reaction!
Jennifer Lawrence's impressive performance in "Winter's Bone" certainly influenced her casting for this movie.
The reputation of being a teenage love movie kept me from watching this movies or read the books for a long time. when i finaly did i realize its more in line of 1984 or THX1138 message wise and the universe as a whole soon became one of my favorites. Together with Lord of the Rings its one of the titels i try to read at least once per year.
The girl that died to the poisonous berries was the same one doing the “game” where she organized the plants by what was poisonous and what was not. And basically she had a really good knowledge on which plants were poisonous so she would’ve 100% known that night lock was poisonous yet she still ate it to die…..
As much as I like this theory night lock only grows between district 12 and 13 and not even Peeta knew what it was. Night lock looks almost identical to black berries, and while there is one scene of it in the movies there's no mention in the books. So movie wise maybe she could have ate them intentionally but books there was nothing to imply she would have known they were poisonous.
I'm still annoyed that they completely cut Madge Undersee's character when she's the reason why Katniss gets the mockingjay pin in the books, and she's allowed to have the pin in the arena in the books, so I don't get why they had Cinna put it on her secretly.
that's the biggest gripe I have about this series. That and Katniss telling Prim that nothing bad will happen to her and then something bad happens to her immediately. Then Prim gives it back with the same 'protection' because that worked out so well the first time around...
@@sianne79 Well it kinda did, just not in the way Katniss or her thought it would. Prim was protected cause Katniss volunteered for her.
The pedestals have mines that are deactivated when the games star, the boy guarding is from the district were they make them so he reactivated them that's why he is with the others they had a use for him. The pin is not illegal to wear it because each of the districs can have a token from home. The books have so many more details, but still is one of the closest adaptations from book to movie.
As an oldest AFAB sibling, the scene where Katniss volunteers never fails to make me cry, even in reactions. I cry, every time.
Yeah same, the desperation in her voice and expression is so realistic
26:10 actually the asian guy from District 10 survived for 8 days and placed 10th in the books. For some reason they killed him off in the movie
It is impossible not to ask ourselves:- What is happening in the rest of this world? Out of Panem? What has survived, and what has it become?..
This is something I've been interested in. There's little hints from the books that the rest of the world does still exist, and that it's not just Panem: there's coffee and mahogany for instance. Both are from tropical plants that couldn't grow in Panem. There are other small details as well, though at a guess it does seem like the rest of the world has kind of shut out Panem and left them to their own except for some small level of trade.
I do like that you caught the Roman aspects of things. Panem, the name of the nation, comes from a Roman expression after all: panem et circenses - bread and circuses. Meaning that if you make sure the people are fed and entertained, they'll forgive living under tyranny.
I've never seen someone have such a bad sense of a character before 😂 Everything she thought was absolutely wrong 😂🤣😂 Great reaction though...
It was very in line with Katniss’s cynical mindset in the books lol their thoughts match up almost perfectly
Really looking forward to your book reviews because a lot of things (especially Katniss' motivations) become a lot clearer. All in all, it's a rather faithful adaptation though.
Strong theory is that Foxface, the redheaded girl, didn’t accidentally eat nightlock berries. She chose to, as she could no longer face trying to survive in the arena. Also while you’re annoyed by the presence of nightlock berries and the potential for accidental poisoning (‘how is that good TV?’), the kids are trained in the training rooms to recognise nightlock. Sure, some kids don’t remember it (Peeta), but for those who do, it’s another weapon - something to slip into the food or water supplies.
I died at "This S Club 7..." bahahaha
Aaron Taylor Johnson, Evan Peters, Hunter Parrish, Alexander Ludwig, Lucas Till, and Alex Pettyfer were considered for Peeta.
I don't know if they mentioned in the movies but in the books they explain that the mockingjay was a symbol of resistance before this. They're crossbreeds of mocking birds and jabberjays. Jabberjays were created to perfectly copy speech so they could spy on the resistance. The resistance fighters fed them so much misinformation that the Capital realized they were useless and let them go while where they bred with mocking birds to create Mockingjays, the birds they use as signals in this game.
Hate cats is like hating dogs, you have no soul if you hate a innocent animal, c'mon...
Not everyone loves them and society should accept that
I hate dogs
@@augthnot loving is not the same thing as hating though
Spiders are innocent animals too yet people hate them eventhough they are as usefull as cats and dogs.
Re: Cato and the Pros
I think the only way you can train a kid to volunteer themselves for a life or death game with the goal of killing everyone else there (including their partner) is to other their opponents. They were also riding the adrenaline high and playing on the unstable group dynamics (nothing bonds unlikely allies together like delighting in surviving difficult circumstances or point all their aggression towards someone else).
Guys it’s not that he decorates cakes, he is an artist🤦🏻♀️
Can’t wait for you to read the books!!!
Clarification on so much in them💕💕💕
Knowing all the plants can save your life as some of them may have healing properties-Others can be poisonous, so the tributes need to know which plants to avoid
37:33 because he came from the district where they make the mines, he’s the one who retired them into a trap
According to the Odds Board in the movie, both District 1 Tributes are 17 -- so they're both so EAGER to compete in The Games that they beat out the local 18 year olds in volunteering to enter!
I thought that her feelings initially were strictly for the views lol..but they grew. But when Peeta was messing with the poison berries and disappeared for a minute, I think Katniss showed some true colors.
And yeah, I hope you've read the books since!
I do believe Cato and the tributes, who are located closer to the Capital, were conditioned to believe. They're children who were taught not only is being selected is an honor, the same propaganda the people of the Capital is fed, but the District's image is also a burden they must carry throughout the games. I believe Districts 1 to 4 want to keep a certain image to the Capital to keep money coming in and help future tributes in the long run. Seeing tributes who are confident and score high will keep eyes on their District and maybe that's what is enforced during the trainings. There's also a future scene that (to me) confirms the tributes from Districts 1 to 4 are more conditioned than the rest of the tributes. I remember getting goosebumps after the scene ended because these kids aren't taught the reality of what they're doing. It is the same with military propaganda, only showing the positives side of winning but not the gritty truth behind it all. Cato, I assume, when he was alone reflected on his actions and realized he was never going to win (metaphorically and literally). Everything he's been taught up to that point was a lie.
14:14 That was plants matching game - so you recognise stuff. This was meant to show she is smart to the viewers.
16:20 Peeta's family bakery pretty much did most stuff for the whole district, including the peacekeepers and officials. So they also had to bake cakes for them. They were said to be somehow richer family - I mean they did have pigs.
19:00 Twelve Districts - maximum of twelve points.
I love when you do the Poker Face edits 🤣 New "classic reference" 😎👌
As far as the career tributes I believe they are trained and groomed into not feel for what they do and making it into a game to cope, but killing does something to your psyche and I think it finally shows through the torture and horror of actually grow up as a career tribute when they finally get into a game and experience the act of killing. That is why there is no victor in the hunger games, there are only survivors. I love these books and movies because we all question how they can watch things like this but do not forget we have already done this before in the Roman era of Gladiatorial games in real history. That people can get back to a state of where this is okay when they get taught how these district people are lesser then capital people is in my mind not far fetched, technology doesnt change humanity at its core. Technology has always been at the forefront of how to kill another human more effectively.
Isabelle Furhman, Shailene Woodley, Abigail Breslin, Chloe Grace Moretz, Emma Roberts, Kristen Stewart, Mary Mouser, Hailee Steinfeld, Kaya Scolderio, Saorsie Ronan, Emily Browning, Lyndsey Fonseca, and Jodelle Ferdland were considered for Katniss.
Saorsie Ronan and Emily Browning would be the only ones of the lot i would thought believable in the role of Katniss. Saorsie Ronan cause of her performance in Who is Hannah and Emily Browing due to Sucker Punch.
It was implied that the trained kids were acting sadistic, in part, to get sponsors interested in them as well. also, I'm mad that the movie doesn't show Cato absolutely losing his mind with grief when his district partner dies.
If I'm not mistaken, I think the kid the Careers aligned with and told him to stand guard was from the Technology District, and he was around to dig up and re-rig the mines around the supplies for them.
@37:30 they made the alliance because that tribute knows how to move and place the explosives around the camp
They used District 5 boy (the guard at their camp) to help them rebury the mines, because District 5 is power/electricity.
47:36 the trust he had in her 😭👌🏽
In the books the games are so traumatic for Katniss that she starts thinking of Rue as Prim in her mind. It actually helps her to have the motivation to save her, but is brutal when she can’t save her. It crushes her and Haytmich knows that. That is why he convinces the headmaster with the new lovers narrative. Katniss needs someone to save to be motivated.
There are 4 The Hunger Games books now, including the prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which Suzanne Collins pushed in 2020. Will you be reading and reviewing that book too?
(The movie is set to be released in November 2023)
So the careers were trained from the birth that winning the game is the most honourable thing you can do .so they're trained to become more desensetize towards killing. And I think being arrogant and cocky will bring them more sponsers cause they look strong and well trained. So I feel bad for them and Cato realise that at the end he's as same as other districts tributes,the capital don't care about the careers either.
And Peeta do love Katniss from a very young age.when he throw that bread towards Katniss he burnt that on purpose and he's mom pretty much beat him for that . He got caught by the careers so that's why he joined them to buy some time for katniss.and when the bees attacked them he fought Cato so Katniss can ran away.
That useless guard boy is from district 3 the district that specialises on electronics and the careers just probably froce him to join them in exchange of not killing him cause he can handle the mines and rewire them to use.
In the books they didn't show what Katniss did for Rue cause that'll inspire the district citizens to Rebel but when the hovercraft picked up Rues body they've to show she's in a bed of flowers so people will know Katniss did that.
You’re the first reactor I’ve seen mention the significance of the capitol children play fight like they’re in the games. And get a play sword to celebrate. It is a very important scene even if it is short. How these things are ingrained in the children of these people and they think it’s normal and entertaining. The comparison between district and capitol.
I get why the careers are so sadistic/cold. It's a form of disassociation. They're trying to view it as literal games. Like some people who play violent viodeo games may celebrate a kill and not view the NPCs/other player characters as people (in that case they really aren't but you know..) and therefore say some messed up sh*t so do they. If they actually faced what they''re doing in there it decreases the likelihood they'll do it. They're just trying to protect their own psyche. Plus I'd assume dehumanizing other districts/humans is part of their "training".
Also the group dynamics if it comes to bulling is quite similar this is just way more extrem. It reminds me a little of the movie "Lord of the Flies".
The lizard tribute was hilarious 😂
Katniss wasn't so nervous that it caused her to miss. The book explains it better.....but any athlete will know that changing the material of your equipment will ALWAYS throw you off. Katniss is used to a wooden bow and arrows. Not the heavier metal ones. That's why she nailed it on the second try.
Also, the Careers aren't 18. At least not all of them. Some of them are 16 and 17.
The purge announcement scared the shit out of me lmao
37:37 they made the alliance with this guy because he is the one who was able to move the mines without them exploding. The careers never would have been able to do that on their own. They were probably going to kill him when he offered to do that, or maybe the caught him trying to get one for himself and made him get them all for them
I thinks its great you made a joke about Haymich having too much alcohol in his system and shouldn't be close to Katniss because she makes a similar joke in the books :) Also I love that she misses her first shot in the score part, because she's so used to hitting moving targets. Just thought it was a nice detail.
It not because she is used to moving targets it is because she is used to a different typ of bow.
Went to see this with my father, his now-ex, and her oldest and youngest kids. (Not sure where the middle one was, I think he was at a party or something.) Her older son and I had a good time at dinner debating over the things they changed from the books, and the things that they kept.
I began noticing Stanley Tucci after seeing his memorable performance in "Undercover Blues."
He is doing quite a haunting impression as an Nazi SS Offical in the Wansee Conferece. Thats were i first saw him.
You should watch lovely bones. He’s really really good and creepy there.
"That's apple juice for you, darlin'" 😂😂
Hiii 💜 happy you’re doing this series.
I love how much your friend is deep into katniss’ mindset, she thinks just like her in the books
Hey there. I don’t know if somebody already commented this. But the red hair girl. Is very good at etable and toxic plants. She can distinguish them very wel and that is what te training was: plant knowledge. So the theorie is she committed suicide by eating the poisoned berries. Because she knew she wasn’t a fighter and would never win. And suicide committed in the Hunger games is a big F*k you to the capitol therefore it was a last act of resistance.
I think the suicide has to be more blatant to really have any political statement to it. I do assume both in watching and reading that she did kill herself, just that the big middle finger wasn't really given.
@@Meodread yeah you are right it is not felt like a big middle finger. But that is because she did not want to make it any harder for her family. Because the Capitol would go after them if they felt that like a big F*k you.
I love this movie and the books! So glad to hear that you plan to read those as well! Hopefully we’ll get to see what you think about them!
Sam Mendes, David Slade, Rupert Sanders, Andrew Adamson, and Susanna White were considered for Directing.
i think that "matching game“ that the girl was playing during the training is to remember what herbs and fruits are poisonous. I can‘t really recall if they said that in the books or i just came up with it
I know this was a while ago but you guys have to read the books! All your questions will be answered. You see inside her head and all her thoughts on Peeta, Gale, and her survival skills. The movies did a phenomenal job to following the books for the most part, but you don’t get her thoughts unless you read the books! So good! Thank you guys for this, love your reactions!
Chris Massoglia, David Henrie, Drew Roy, and Robbie Amell were considered for Gale.
I really despise the way the Career Tributes behaved when killing other children, but I do think a huge part of it was how they were literally raised to become murderers for their districts' victories. They were probably taught to see the other Tributes as nothing, so they wouldn't feel conflicted about killing them all, especially the youngest ones. That said, I wonder if preparing to kill and actually having to do it did affect them and they just tried to play it off to make them seem strong and unaffected - like how bullies often "perform" for their friends, even if something is going on under the surface. I wonder if this idea of being THE Volunteer, THE Career Tribute, THE Victor, etc. made them feel under immense public pressure to behave like cold-blooded killers and not seem "weak" enough to harm their districts' reputations as the ones to bet on. Don't get me wrong; I have far less empathy for them than other Tributes, but I do feel for them that this is what they were raised to become and I wouldn't be surprised if there were harsh or abusive methods used to harden them to the violence they'd be expected to partake in.

VERY MINOR QUOTE "SPOILER" FOR THE PREQUEL!!!! ========== One of the final Tributes left ========== in the 10th Hunger Games ========== says something along the lines of ========== "Don't let me have ========== killed all of those children ========== for nothing" as they were about to die ========== and were asking another Tribute for help.========== It seems like that could be similar here; they all want to win for their districts and their whole lives have been orchestrated for this very moment, to take the glory of becoming a Victor, but maybe actually murdering kids makes their desire to "win" deeper than just being the Victor; maybe it becomes about making it mean something after everyone they killed, so they can "justify" the horrors they committed - at least for some of the Career Tributes (though there are bound to be some who just enjoy killing).
The poker face music i swear to god
This was one of the first movies my girlfriend and I saw on our first dates. In college we had to do a light show project with music; she chose the end credit music for her light show and it was amazing!

One of the best book to movie adaptations out there, J-law is so good. Really need to react to Red Sparrow and Mother! With J-law
When District 11 is watching and Rue dies, that is not her father. He’s already dead. Rue and her siblings work hard and are raised by their widowed mother.
37:28 in the books they explain that, yes, this guy isn’t from the districts that train and he doesn’t seem like a very athletic or strong person, so he was most likely extremely smart, and was probably the one to set all the mines up
Not a big fan of Jessie’s reactions - she doesn’t seem to give insightful commentary and she really never seems interested in the movies.
But now that I know that she’s a cat hater, it makes more sense why she’s so off putting to me😂 I still love Thor so I’ll watch his reactions 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, she's bringing nothing to the table, here.
@@KylieIsOverIt I felt like maybe I was being too harsh, but I’m glad to see others agree about her and it’s not just me 😂 nothing personal, just doesn’t seem like this is her thing.
@@jadelanglinais1982 I mean, when someone reacts to HG and spends half the time talking about how they don't trust/like Peeta? This person is reading neither subtle nor not-subtle messaging in the content.
That's OK. People don't have to be media savvy or into fiction and storytelling. But also, those people shouldn't attempt movie reactions. It's painful to watch, especially for people committed enough to a story to be watching reactions a decade later, amiright!? She might be great at song or book reactions but she's not at this.
@@KylieIsOverIt spot on!! Agreed 💯
Man I can’t believe he’s including her in all his reactions to the series I really wanted to watch these reactions but I can’t with her in them😕
33:53 GOOD MORNING!
That got me so hard on the wasp attack
So hilarious 👍❤️😂
But of course it is a bad dream because I have fears to wasps🐝😧
The movie failed if people watching think Peeta is a bad guy. He is one of the best characters in the whole series. The books convey that so much better.
I love how she calls Kato backstreet boy.😂🤣
The thing you have to remember about the brainwashed career tributes is that they're also scared kids who, like Katniss and Peeta, are trying to act out their character role for people to gamble on them. The more confidence in winning you exude, the more likely you are to gain favoritism/get sponsors. e.g. Cato with his brute alpha persona, knife girl with her sadistic arrogance, or the blond girl from 1 with her overt girly flirtatious act. It's a show, and they know they have to stand out somehow in order to win.
I am excited for you to read the books and understand how fucked up the dogs actually were.
YES THOR WE LOVE THESE MOVIES FRICK YES
Yeah the difference between tracker trackers and bees is huge cuz as he said they're genetically engineered wasps which have hallucinogenic venom and things like that but also wasps have smooth stingers so it doesn't catch in your skin and get pulled out of the bug so they can sting you multiple times unlike a bee my mom mixes them up too but no bees make honey and they are actually good for pollination wasps or predators and they also or just assholes to humans for being assholes they just don't serve any damn purpose last time I mowed was like two or three weeks ago I need to get out there again but I'm scared because there were thing of yellow jackets in my backyard and when I was finishing up the last little bit I got swarmed and I got stung on my left wrist my upper arm on the left through my sleeve and on my right boob through the bra and t-shirt none of those things still hurt but I can still see the marks
I adore the Hunger games movies! Theyre so great!
I didn't even know Jennifer Lawrence falls a lot.
A very thinkable reaction. I liked it very much. Thanks.
Question : Why is euphoria is the channel banner but no video on it?
R.I.P lizard
I wish you had read the book first. The adaptation is faithful, but a lot of the background politics and why's aren't explained.
25:24 not only is this blatant racism and accusatory, shes most definitely wrong as well.
yeah they said one could get a score from 1-12 so you can in fact go beyond 10
Wow… I’ve never seen a worse judge of character in my life.
I have recently reread the books and in the books when katniss knocks Cato off the thing the mutts that are down there who look like to see tributes they've got the coloration and size of each of the former tributes like the eye and for color matches their eye and hair color and they even have a collar that has their district's number on it in the books so it's even more sadistic but they do some damage to Cato but they refuse to finish him off they have to force katniss to finish him off and at that point it's just pity putting him out of his misery I'm sure if there were more people left the dogs would have finished them off but since it was only one person left before the winter would be crowned they needed to make one of them finish it off then of course weird beard guy Seneca Crane is like yeah we have to redact that rule about the change so you guys have to kill each other now and then they still brought out the berries and faked going to kill themselves rather than have to hurt each other and he's like wait okay you both win
