The hunger games movie reaction
first time watching - Розваги
Katniss is 16 in this movie. Her life is difficult and she hasn’t really thought about any kind of relationship with a boy - specifically Gale. She completely misses Peeta’s obvious feelings about her but as she starts figuring that out she starts thinking about whether she should even be thinking about Gale romantically. If you only see the movies and don’t read the books, you can miss out on how young Katniss is. And when you think about a 16-year-old girl in the real world, you might think she should be feeling more ways about Gale, but to Katniss he is her hunting partner. She’s still dealing with her father’s death and her mother’s emotional distress/illness. The viewer puts all kinds of romantic demands on Katniss that she doesn’t put on herself. She’d prefer not to think about it at all, but the need to pretend for the games brings it to the front of mind.
Looking forward to your review of Catching Fire and the 2 Mockingjay movies. There is also a prequel movie coming in November 2023.
I usually do book then movie but I kind of like your idea, instead of being disappointed with what they left out I can be delighted by the stuff they left out! Interesting
Lots of people who havent read the books miss a key part during Katniss's single evaluation, she misses her first arrow because shes used to shooting at a moving target from range, not a still target thats somewhat close
And she normally uses her dad’s handmade wooden bow and arrows, which have natural imperfections / inaccuracy that she learnt to compensate for, whereas that bow is manufactured to be perfectly accurate. She had to stop compensating to actually be accurate.
The game's dog-creatures were even more scary in the book. [Book spoiler below.]
If I'm remembering correctly, they were made to have the distorted faces/eyes of the dead contestants, almost as though the contestants had been reanimated as tortured zombie hounds!
And the description of Cato’s mauled body gave me nightmares (I was like 10 😭)
The film score is one of the many reasons I love the series. All of the movies like this. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Twilight, and more.
💯
This is one of my favorite reactions to the Hunger Games I’ve seen :) You are paying attention and using critical thinking and I appreciate it
Glad you enjoyed!
@@ariachanson01 the books are darker and everything that happens is worse
You aggressively making sure your Minnie mouse toy was sitting upright as your emotional support friend sent me❤❤❤😂thanks for the reaction to this movie, one of my favorite books in the world
One thing you may have missed that links these games more to hunger: someone can get an extra year's supply of grain and oil (for one person) from the central government in exchange for putting another entry with their name on it in the next game lottery. So if you get one extra person's worth of food, you double your chances of being chosen for the games; if you get 2 such extra rations, you triple your chances, etc.
And Katniss has bought rations for her, her sister and her mother (3) every year since her dad died. And Gale has like 4 siblings or something, so has been doing the same for his family! Then poor Prim, her first year in and only 1 entry!
May have missed? They literally do nothing to explain that part in the movie lol
@@Hey_Jamie i think there is a couple of lines in the movie. Like at the start when prim wakes from her nightmare and katniss says “your names only been put in this one time, it wont be you…” and then later when katniss is saying goodbye she tells prim not to take more food because its not worth putting her name in any more times…
Very quick, subtle lines, that if you didnt already know from reading the books, or arent paying attention to the point of being able to like, work it out there and then lol, then yeah! Easy to miss!!
The reason we saw Peeta throwing her the bread is actually really important. In the flashback they are both 11 years old, and Katniss' entire family are on the brink of starvation-- I believe this also occurred shortly after Papa Everdeen died, so no one was working and no money to put food on the table. Like she couldn't make it home and was accepting her death level of starved.
Peeta is the bakers son and purposefully burnt some bread so he would have to give it to the pigs. Katniss describes his mom beating Peeta and once it's just the two of them he gives Katniss the bread. Peeta has always cared for Katniss (cared for the people around him in general but everlark is the focus here) and Katniss' first memory of Peeta is him saving her life.
I love jlaw and phutch but it would be a much more impactful story if the characters actually looked 16 years old.
( I haven't read the books in a while so some of the details might be off but this is what I remember 😲 )
"Is she ignoring her mother?" ... remember you wanted to watch the movie before reading the books. :-)
Oh😅
And this only speaks against movie
@@hashaintswanThen it speaks against every movie made from books. Some things just can’t be portrayed through the movie medium.
The effect of Ru's death will make sense later through the second and third parts. It all ties together. Her feelings about the two guys becomes more apparent in the next two movies. Good reaction. You are following the thread pretty well. Hold on, it gets weirder.
Loved how you were able to empathise so deeply with the characters! Can’t wait to see your reaction to Catching Fire!
Thank you so much for starting this journey, and allowing me to walk this path with you. I'm looking forward to the next installments from you!
I've said this in the past, but it's always true: Donald Sutherland plays a really good villain in President Snow. It's kind of the same Paradox with Imelda Staunton/Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter: a delightful actor playing such a vile, despicable character.
I love your reaction so much and your attention to detail was amazing, can’t wait for your reactions to the other ones!❤️
I loved your reactions so much. Is one of my favs. Welcome to Panem. The movies are a great adaptation of the books; if you like the movies you will love the books.
“i am excited to find out what the hunger games are. are they actually gonna play games in which they starve themselves ? or are these hungry people playing games for food ?” yes LOL 😭😭
before she started the movie, saying "is this hungry people, that play games for food?" is so close to true, that my jaw dropped, when she said it... never thought of saying it, that way...
I have watched so many of these reviews and I love your mention of how amazing the music is. Almost my favorite part. Soooo good
14:54 "What do you mean 'might finally have a winner'? Haymitch won." Yes, but how old would you say he is? The actor, Harrelson, was about 50 when filming this. Since the oldest you are when competing is 18, that means Haymitch won more than 31 years ago. If the selection of a winner was perfectly random, probability says the odds of NOT having a winner from district 12 in 31 years is only (11/12)^31 = 7%.
Yeah, but Haymitch won the 50th Hunger Games (a Quarter Quell in which there were 48 tributes instead of the usual 24), so his win was 24 years previous to these games, and the odds aren't exactly operating on "random" (or Woody Harrelson's age). ;)
@@MissAPierce I agree with you about the odds. That was pretty much the whole point of my comment and what Peta's mom said! As for when exactly Haymitch had won, I had forgotten that detail, so thank you. It changes the probability of District 12 not winning since then to (11/12)^23 = 13.5% (again, assuming wins are randomized across Districts, which we know they aren't).
Haymitch is, in actuality, 40. He was sixteen for the 50th games, plus the 24 years since. I love Harrelson's performance, but he does look a bit old for it. I blame it on Haymitch's bad life choices. ;p How in the world that changed him from Seam coloring to town coloring is still a mystery.
Random would imply that the chances of winning are equal across all districts but it’s been made clear 1, 2 & 4(in the books) have a greater advantage of winning due to them being career districts. It is also highlighted that children from the seam are more likely to be reaped as they were poor and had their names entered more times and less likely to win because they tended to be very malnourished and underweight. Peeta being from the town a bakers son (more well fed) and the supplement of katniss’ illegal hunting/trading meant she was also more well fed than previous entrants from district 12.
4:00 "Okay, she's . . . dressed . . . different." 😝 That's quite the understatement! You don't think she looks like she belongs in District 12? 🤣
This is one of my favorite reactions to this movie i have ever seen. :))
I wasn't sure if I'd like this movie when I first watched it. I'm older and I knew it was based on a book aimed toward teens. I thought it would be like Twilight. But I was surprised how good the movies are. Well written, good acting, great cinematography.
I loved your running analysis of the film. You made some great observations. I've watched a few of your reactions now, and I really enjoy them.
The books are absolutely worth the read if you haven’t yet!
Hammitch was drunk because it hurt so much to know the kids from his district who were killed every year.
True. I didn't think about it like that
@@ariachanson01 Imagine he had to mentor around 23 kids all to get killed before he mentored katniss
@@dubsonly I think your math is off. He’s been a mentor for 24 years. That’s 48 kids. All dead.
In the books, Cato's death is more gruesome. He gets eaten by the dogs alive for the night until morning rise. Nothing is left of him, and Katniss then shoots him to put him out of his misery.
It’s even worse because the Mutts had dragged him inside the cornucopia so she couldn’t actually get a shot until daylight, with Peeta helping her hang over to take it.
37:13 Here, we come to a key _problem_ with the bow and arrow. They can be _deadly_ if you're shooting at something maybe 50 meters away and you have good _aim._ But they take a minute to _load_ and to _reload._ If the person you're shooting at has a _knife_ and manages to _dodge_ the first shot, there's a good chance they will _reach_ you before you manage to load and aim _again_ and then you'll be in trouble.
hope to see more hunger games reactions your one of the best reactors for this movie!
If I’m not mistaken Jennifer Lawrence’s breakout role was in the movie “WINTERS BONE.” Very good movie!
another movie where her dad is dead and her mom is spaced out so she has to take care of her younger siblings by hunting squirrels. but a completely different movie. it is a really good movie also.
That is true. The problem is that nobody saw that movie.
@@markjuarez1791 plenty of people saw it. It was nominated for 4 Oscar’s, including JLaw as best actress lol
@@Drummer4President I was being facetious. My point is that since it was a smaller film it was not a huge blockbuster type of hit in theaters.
There have been numerous movies that have gotten Oscar nominations, that were only seen by few audiences.
I really loved your thoughtful review at the end of the reaction! Keep it up!!
Great vid, glad I stumbled across it! You picked up on so many little details, so fun to see
I've watched this series many times and several reaction videos and your the first person to comment on how powerful the silence is during different important moments.
Aria, you're quickly becoming one of my favorite film reactors of all time. You do a great job at this stuff! 4/5 of the way through, and just had to say that!
Thankyou ❤️❤️
@@ariachanson01 You're a lovely lady, and I'm here for everything. 💗
I can definitely see your logic in watching a movie before you read the novel. Have you watched "Jurassic Park"? It was one of my favorite movies as a child. And I always knew it was based on a novel, but I never read it. I always wondered, "How can a movie as epic as this come from pages in a book?" But a few years ago, I saw the novel in a bookstore, and I thought, "Eh, what the hell?", and bought it. A few days later, I started reading it, and I couldn't put it down. It was so amazing! It told an even bigger and grander story than the movie, and there was also more emphasis put into the message about the modern day misuse of science and technology for the sake of profit.
Just watched it a few days ago and you just hyped me up for the book😅
@@ariachanson01 It's an amazing book!
26:44 "They can climb, too."
Not according to the book. In the book, it's made clear that every last _one_ of them is too heavy to climb the tree. But then you've _read_ the book by now, so you _know_ this.
Loved the reaction!
👍♥️🤘Great reaction! Can't wait for the rest.
I really loved your reaction. I can’t wait for the next movie ❤
Can't wait to share it:)
3:09 "I'll still _cook_ you."
"Whoa. Why?"
😄 Some people just don't get along with cats. 🤷♂
She (Jennifer L.) is a wonderful actress and I agree with you she is so real and funny. Hope you enjoy the series.
it's been over 20 years since 12 had a winner the last one being haymitch before that the previous winners from 12 were all dead
I have a huge crush on josh hutcherson hehehe
I was so impressed with these books and then again with the movies. I enjoyed rewatching this one with you Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Everyone thinks Haymitch is a bad mentor. If I had been through what he has, I'd drink myself into oblivion, too. "Know deep in your hearts you are probably going to die, and there is nothing I can do to save you," breaks my heart
I agree
You have a very soothing voice...looking forward to your reactions 😊
🧡🧡
Cinna is Lenny Kravitz!
It's interesting that you planned to read the books _after_ watching the movies. For me, it was the other way around. And while watching the _first_ movie in the series, I became aware of this _key difference_ between writing a book and making a _movie._
Consider mockingjays and tracker jackers. These are a couple species internal to the canon in which these stories are _based._ They don't exist in the real world, so they had to be introduced to the _audience._
In the _book,_ they could just be _explained._ The audience was introduced because the audience was reading from Katniss' perspective and she understood them.
In the _movie,_ though, they had to write scenes with someone actually _explaining_ them. They had to come up with a believable reason for the audience to momentarily take a break from the action.
I loved your voice 💗
Thankyou ❤️
15:34 "I used to decorate the cakes down at the bakery."
What do you mean, "cakes?" District 12 is an _outlying_ district. It's poor. How can it afford a bakery that makes _cakes?_
If I remember it correctly they explained that in the book too. I don't remember enough to tell you exactly what it was though😅
i am really late but iirc they sell the cakes to rich people and peacekeepers(?) and such, not the actual average district 12 citizen
I’d argue that Winter Bones in the best JLaw film to start with, but this is also a good place lol
Katniss and gale are hunting buddies, never anything else until the games and gale showed how much he really cared for her. Katniss does not love gale other than friends.
Ehhh, i wouldn't worry about love so much as them both having severe PTSD
17:46 "Why do you think we have a winner? If we just wanted to intimidate the districts, why not round up 24 of them at random and _execute_ them?"
Because there's intimidating the _districts_ and then there's giving them _martyrs._ Rounding up 24 people and randomly _killing_ them would make them martyrs against the _Capitol._ The purpose of the Games is to prevent _another_ uprising by preventing the districts from _uniting._
No district is nuts enough to try to storm the Capitol on its _own._ You have to prevent them from _uniting._ This is accomplished by taking steps to make sure that every district has at least one martyr against every _other_ district.
33:37 Of course, this is one way it can break _down._ What if _your_ district's champion also becomes _another_ district's champion? Suddenly, the two districts have something driving them _together._
The books explain everything a lot more. Movies always miss stuff
When Lord of the flies is mandated by the government we get the Hunger Games.
love Cina and later Hamamage
I realy enjoy leni crafits character as sena. I can't spell for crap btw
idk why i thought this was endearing. i applaud your effort
Katniss never loved Gale, just friends. he likes her.
I loooove youuu
Please reaction to tarzan 1999
Aria is looking prettier every week. Modern witchcraft 😀

Let me know you see this comment below this comment
In the book, Katniss could see that one of the beasts had Rue's eyes, yeah, some sick stuff. Can you believe the writer of all this child violence was a woman ? The books are better there's only 3, Hollywood wanred more money & made 4 movies & really screwed up the series....
However, Aria, I'm afraid I can't agree with you on Jennifer Lawrence. I used to like her because I thought she was a very talented actress. But I lost all respect for her during an interview on Graham Norton when she talked about filming a movie in Hawaii. She talked about how she used a SACRED rock that you're not supposed to touch to scratch her butt, which was itchy from her wetsuit. Not only that, she caused it to roll down a hill and nearly kill a crew member, and she was laughing the whole time she was telling this story! As somebody who lived on Maui for many years and had an understanding of the Hawaiian culture, I found her attitude to be very disrespectful. Chris Pratt lived on Maui too, and he was visibly uncomfortable during that same interview.
I never heard of that..thanks for the info.
There are different types of laughter. I laughed when my Dad almost fell off a ladder, and it wasn't because I thought it was funny or wasn't worried for his well-being. Horrified at myself and thinking about it after the fact, I realized it has been a startled laugh of relief that things hadn't been worse. She wasn't laughing with jovial humor that she'd almost killed the sound guy; she was laughing in relief that she _hadn't_ killed him, as well as at the absurdity that the Hawaiian believers on set had thought it had been the work of a curse when it had really just been her who'd dislodged the rock -- _she_ had been the curse.
The butt scratching itself I'm not going to try to justify -- only to say that some people are more earthy and others more spiritual, and the former are less likely to pay much heed to the peccadillos of the latter. It has nothing to do with purposeful disrespect and more to do with worldview and an inability to truly grasp the importance that others place on things that make no sense to us.
@olsengt That's no excuse at all, either for her actions or her cavalier attitude about it. She was probably trying to be self-deprecating about it, but none of it at all is any laughing matter.
Wow, I didn't know that
A sacred rock you’re not supposed to touch? A billion year old rock, that has been touched by millions upon millions of things? Sounds pretty friggin dumb to me. Even dumber to be so upset about something that silly🤦♂️
