Prim was only 14. She was not supposed to be on the front line of the war, she was too young. That's one of the reason Katniss believes Snow. Because she knows Coin had to approve her sister being sent to the war front.
At the start of the story, the only thing Katniss wanted was to save her sister. The only thing Peeta wanted was to not be changed. At the end of the story, they both lost everything. But they managed to survive, together. I like that it doesn't end with the typical happyly ever after. There's no true winners in war. Everyone ends up damaged and it takes true work to recover from it all. Last paragraph of the book, before the epilogue : “Peeta and I grow back together. There are still moments when he clutches the back of a chair and hangs on until the flashbacks are over. I wake screaming from nightmares of mutts and lost children. But his arms are there to comfort me. And eventually his lips. On the night I feel that thing again, the hunger that overtook me on the beach, I know this would have happened anyway. That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that. So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?" I tell him, "Real.” And end of the epilogue : "My children, who don't know they play on a graveyard. Peeta says it will be okay. We have each other. And the book. We can make them understand in a way that will make them braver. But one day I'll have to explain about my nightmares. Why they came. Why they won't ever really go away. I'll tell them how I survive it. I'll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything because I'm afraid it could be taken away. That's when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years. But there are much worse games to play."
Thank you. I was hoping you would show the Ramblers this quote from the book. Suzanne Collins' father was career military and she has done a wonderful job of describing all the emotions and results of conflict like that. I have never seen an author do it better who was not personally involved.

I love how the gent on the right (apologies I don't know names) was right since the end of the last movie about Coin and kept being told he was wrong. 😅 Vindication.
i love these books/movies so much. one of my favorite moments that isn’t included in the movie is katniss realizing johanna doesn’t have any possessions so she goes out and gathers a bunch of pine needles to give to her to remind her of home because she’s from the lumber district :’)
I really wish we had gotten the scenes with Plutarch after Katniss kills Coin. In the books, he is with Haymitch when Katniss is released from jail. But, unfortunately, Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away in the middle of shooting this movie (that is why Haymitch just reads a letter from him). I believe the director has said the shots of him at the execution are CGIed in from other scenes. I would've liked to have seen how he played that "If I had to put you through this again, I would." Addiction is a terrible disease! RIP to a legend.
43:45 you missed it, Katniss was planning of taking the nightlock right there. She wanted to kill herself just after killing Coin. Peeta dropped the pill out of her hand. That's why he looked at her like he felt betrayed.
I DID miss it. I was too focused on Snow. Thanks for the heads up. I'm so glad he did that. I don't think I could've dealt with the ending if she did go through with it.
Slight clarification. Peeta and Haymitch both knew what Katniss was upto the minute she voted yes. They know what the games mean forher and how much she loved Prim (and Rue) and would never, ever want another hunger games. That's why Haymitch looks over and stares at her. People think he's disgusted by her but in reality he's thinking what are you upto girl or rather "So now you know who the real enemy is". Later he says to her, "you don't disappoint". It's also why Peeta was ready to grab the pill out of her hand. You can even see him in the vote scene at the end when the camera lingers on him.
First, Katniss' mental breakdown is far worse/more comprehensive in the books. After she was shot in District 2, she had to go through basic soldier training to prove to Coin that she was mentally/physically fit enough to go to the capital. The biggest overlooked factor in Katniss' breakdown is her age. She's a CHILD! She's a child taking on the pressure, responsibility and guilt that could easily destroy a well-adjusted adult. Unlike many reactors, you guys cut her a fair amount of slack.
It's so messed up the amount of trauma she has had to go through since the beginning. I don't see her recovering ever, but at least she'll have Peeta and her kids as a crutch whenever she stumbles.
"For Prim" told us everything, because Katniss knew that it was Coin who sent in the bombs and killed Prim. She knew the "76th" would never happen with Coin out of the way, and she also knew the crowd would mob Snow right after. Two vultures with one arrow.
@@Stogie2112 yep -- it's something you may not see on first watch but after knowing what she eventually does, it's clear as day, and why Haymitch perceptively voted 'with the Mockingjay'
FYI, "Mutts" is slang for "muttations" - they're mutated genetic crossbreeds artificially created by the Capitol as weapons. So they don't necessarily have to look like dogs or wolves - they just looked that way in the first movie because it fit in with the forest environment of the first Games. Brilliant reactions and discussions, as always! :)
Katniss Everdeen is quite similar to Frodo Baggins. She volunteered to take on such a horrible task, not truly knowing what it would entail or how it would change her. She ultimately triumphed against all odds, but her soul was permanently scarred. There was no way she could ever be truly healed.
My interpretation of Snow smiling as Katniss is approaching at the end is actually that he understands exactly what is about to happen, because he knows Katniss. There was no way he was going to make it, so you might find it ironic that the woman that took his place is going to die at the same time.
@@RamblersInc I'm late but it's so funny cuz, Snow begins cackling right after Katniss shoots the arrow. He doesn't even see it hit Coin, and it's just dead silent and then we hear Snow cackling loudly. The crowd obviously rushes in and it's a mess after that, but they find Snow's body. But no one is sure if he died from choking because of laughing too much or if the crowd killed him.
There is so much symbolism in these books I really recommend reading them and actually listening to what they are saying. As far as Coin being worse then snow, ultimately her role is said in her name. Her name is Coin, as in "two sides of the same coin" (referring to the saying that even if they look different, both sides of a coin are apart of the same coin when it comes down to it). Through out the novel she, Coin, is shown to be wrestling with using Katniss as a propaganda piece but also being afraid that Katniss would be too popular and would take power away from her. It was her version of poisoning her opponents like Snow did on his rise to power.
Oh that's a great way to look at her name. She never wanted her to be the face of the propaganda and maybe there was a moment where she thought she could control Katniss. Well.....that didn't work.
Peeta was watching Katniss the whole time the execution was happening so saw her pick out the nightlock and was able to stop her in time. I believe in the books, it was so close to taking the pill that when Peeta stopped her, she bit his hand. These two need each other and make each other better. Gale was never the right person for her. Way to firey and full of hate. Katniss needed true kindness and thats what Peeta brought. Especially since she lost 💔
@@RamblersInc .... How can we not watch Snow all the time? Donald Sutherland compels us to watch him. Snow's laughing at the very end was brilliant. Getting Katniss to believe him about Coin, and then kill her, was his final victory. He died with a smile on his face!
I personally thought it didn't hold a candle to these movies, I felt they were trying too hard to make a good movie they lost sight of what they were trying to make.
@@HelTra91 As usual, the book is much better. I watched the movie first so I could enjoy it as a movie because I have a tendency to pick apart movies if I've read the book(s) first. I think it was good for what it was. The games weren't fully developed, so when we do get to them, they're rudimentary. I still think it's worth a watch if you've seen the others. :)
@@jaeladarlingtrailers I agree that if a person thinks the THG "trilogy" was all about the games, then BOSAS will seem like it's missing something. I think the Hunger Games books are about good vs. evil; people vs. government; and freedom vs. control. These themes are explored in BOSAS. If, on the other hand, your burning desire during the 4-movie trilogy was to see who Katniss would choose (Gale or Peeta) and to see little kids chop each other up with machetes, then you're going to be disappointed by the prequel. Or at least during a good portion of it.🙂
Apparently the author, Suzanne Collins, originally wrote the books as educational material, of sorts, for students--high school students I think. To give them a sense of politics and war, and the kinds of lessons that can be drawn from history. Like how violence tends to devolve into an endless cycle that is Very difficult to emerge from. Great reactions and commentary, guys, especially on some of the "full circle" stuff: It turns out that Katniss can't actually save her sister. Some things are in our control, and some things just aren't. Fate? These movies and books are great at inspiring discussion on larger themes, and so they are among some of my all-time favorites.
Whilst I'm happy she made it out and both Snow and Coin are dead and Katniss and Peeta are together and have children....I still felt a lot of sadness in the end.
"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss" -- Pete Townshend Or should we say "Worse than the old boss."? I am in the "Coin is Worse" camp. After all that the Districts sacrificed to defeat Snow and tyranny, Coin schemed to be just another Snow. She didn't care about all the lives that were lost. She only wanted the absolute power that Snow had. She would kill anyone to get it.
Great video, as always ! Your reaction to all the pods activating was so funny. Yeah it's a loooot ! Especially the "fifteen pods in one place"''s pods XD Finick's death is the worst one, for me. I loved his character so much. But this part of the movie is still one of my favorite in all four movies. Because of the kiss, followed by the "stay with me" from Katniss, and the "always" Peeta answers. It's not just that it's him there. It's also them reenacting a memory (when she had her nightmares in the train and they said the exact same thing). And the way he says always...
I could've watched an entire movie with them dealing with different pods 😂 Yeh, I didn't expect to lose him. Especially not like that. It's beautiful seeing the way he was able to get back to her and also watching her never give up on him.
@@RamblersInc ahah i can understand it's pretty entertaining ! Yeah his death is brutal, but it's even worse in the books... 😰 Yes it's really beautiful. I don't even understand why Gale never give up. Because it's quite clear (even if katniss doesn't realize it) that she loves Peeta and not Gale. It's clear from the first one (in the books at least, and for us readers not for katniss xD) I mean even Gale said it. She only kisses him when he's in pain. When she feels guilty for him. And he uses it, because he says "i know you would do that" right before. So I never blamed Katniss for kissing him, and making him unsure. Because... I always felt like Gale was aming for those kiss, with the way he was acting... like making her feel guilty for Peeta while they are just friends...
It's a long shot, it's suicide maybe, but I do the only thing I can think of. I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. “Don't let him take you from me.” Peeta's panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging in his head. “No. I don't want to…” I clench his hands to the point of pain. “Stay with me.” His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normalcy. “Always,” he murmurs.
From the author's point of view, the 'love story' is supposed to represent Katniss's moral choice rather than actual love interests. Gale represents vengeance/rage whilst Peeta represents hope and the promise that life can go on. At the end Katniss doesn't need anymore fire but hope and the promise that life can go on. Through the choice and Katniss's struggle, the author is exploring what is right and wrong during war.
29:44 brutal way to lose Finnick 36:08 was looking forward to your reaction to this moment. So unexpected and heartbreaking. 36:28 well… 43:30 this was great. Enjoyed your reaction to the series.
When the capital bombed District 12, they did not bomb the Victor’s Village on purpose. So Katniss still had her house and so did Peeta and Hamich. That way they could live in their mansions and look at the dead ruins of District 12. It’s not explained in the books, but I wonder what they do for food. They each have all the money they could ever want for being Victors, but that had to have stopped. And who would they buy food from. Yes, Katniss could kill rabbits and things, but the movie ends with them enjoying their lives with their children. No one has been able to answer that yet and I’ve read the books multiple times.
I've seen the first 2 aaaages ago (before we had a channel), so just undecided on whether we should start again and react from scratch or carry on from the third one.
Oh so sad when you said that Philip Seymour Hoffman was in this one. He before they filmed. Oh they did include a shot of him. That's nice. But he definitely wasn't actively involved in the making of this movie.
41:07 "She's no different to Snow." English Language Games! Here in the USA, we would never say "She's no different *to* Snow." We would say, "She's no different 'from' Snow." or "She's no different 'than' Snow." This stuff fascinates me to no end. 😆
@@HelTra91 …. I know that everyone understands it. I was commenting on the differences between British and U.S. English grammar and how I find it interesting.
To each their own. Josh Hutcherson aged like fine wine :D He's really handsome in Five Nights at Freddy's that came out last year. And his natural dark hair suits him better.
lmaoo. I read the book before watching the movie and Snow cracked me up so bad.. like boy do you hear yourself? His thoughts are so psychotic but he keeps justifying his actions, and god, the way he is soo so kind and sweet to others on the outside and appears harmless and helpless, but his thoughts are just so awful, how he is disgusted by them. He is very smart, the way he manipulates everyone.
After watching your after thoughts i would recommend the prequel. It's all about Snow and the beginnings of the Hunger Games and how it came to be as we see it in The Hunger Games.

Finick's death is the worst one, for me. I loved his character so much. But this part of the movie is still one of my favorite in all four movies. Because of the kiss, followed by the "stay with me" from Katniss, and the "always" Peeta answers. It's not just that it's him there. It's also them reenacting a memory (when she had her nightmares in the train and they said the exact same thing). And the way he says always...

Yes it's really beautiful. I don't even understand why Gale never give up. Because it's quite clear (even if katniss doesn't realize it) that she loves Peeta and not Gale. It's clear from the first one (in the books at least, and for us readers not for katniss xD) I mean even Gale said it. She only kisses him when he's in pain. When she feels guilty for him. And he uses it, because he says "i know you would do that" right before. So I never blamed Katniss for kissing him, and making him unsure. Because... I always felt like Gale was aming for those kiss, with the way he was acting... like making her feel guilty for Peeta while they are just friends...
Yep. He was doomed to losing her.
@@Sytryltyou’re right

I'm so disappointed in Liam Neeson he ended up being one of coin's henchmen. He ended up becoming what he hated and what he was fighting against
🤣
Thank you for those reactions. I've seen a lot of HG reactions and yours have been among my favorites !!
Thank You😊
It's a long shot, it's suicide maybe, but I do the only thing I can think of. I lean in and kiss Peeta full on the mouth. His whole body starts shuddering, but I keep my lips pressed to his until I have to come up for air. My hands slide up his wrists to clasp his. “Don't let him take you from me.” Peeta's panting hard as he fights the nightmares raging in his head. “No. I don't want to…” I clench his hands to the point of pain. “Stay with me.”
His pupils contract to pinpoints, dilate again rapidly, and then return to something resembling normalcy. “Always,” he murmurs.
😭 So damn poetic.
Such a beautiful moment❤
From the author's point of view, the 'love story' is supposed to represent Katniss's moral choice rather than actual love interests. Gale represents vengeance/rage whilst Peeta represents hope and the promise that life can go on. At the end Katniss doesn't need anymore fire but hope and the promise that life can go on. Through the choice and Katniss's struggle, the author is exploring what is right and wrong during war.
That's a good way to look at her choices.
Can't wait for your reaction to the hunger games the ballad of songbirds and snakes
Coming Soon 🙂
I've been waiting for this.
29:44 brutal way to lose Finnick
36:08 was looking forward to your reaction to this moment. So unexpected and heartbreaking.
36:28 well…
43:30 this was great.
Enjoyed your reaction to the series.
Maaaannnn. Why did we have to lose Finnick. More importantly why did Annie have to.
For doing that to THAT many people....Coin got an easy death.
When the capital bombed District 12, they did not bomb the Victor’s Village on purpose. So Katniss still had her house and so did Peeta and Hamich. That way they could live in their mansions and look at the dead ruins of District 12.
It’s not explained in the books, but I wonder what they do for food. They each have all the money they could ever want for being Victors, but that had to have stopped. And who would they buy food from. Yes, Katniss could kill rabbits and things, but the movie ends with them enjoying their lives with their children. No one has been able to answer that yet and I’ve read the books multiple times.
That's evil. And yet it's Snow so I shouldn't be surprised.
38:41 yea nah coin really is THAT bad :’)
Yeh....she really was. She got taken out too quickly if you ask me.
20:23 the fact that Peeta remembered Katniss’s favorite color but not his own….💔
Kinda beautiful...and sad at the same time.
@@RamblersInc he just loves her so much
Love your reactions to this franxhise! Pls do the prequel Songbird and snake as well. I think you two would love it!
We'll add it to our watchlist 👍
I enjoyed your coverage of the Hunger Games. I subscribed to the channel. No Harry Potter yet?
I've seen the first 2 aaaages ago (before we had a channel), so just undecided on whether we should start again and react from scratch or carry on from the third one.
@RamblersInc Start from scratch. It doesn't matter that you've seen a couple. You may have forgotten some things or notice something new.
49:00
Oh so sad when you said that Philip Seymour Hoffman was in this one. He before they filmed. Oh they did include a shot of him. That's nice. But he definitely wasn't actively involved in the making of this movie.
That's a shame 😔
41:07 "She's no different to Snow." English Language Games!
Here in the USA, we would never say "She's no different *to* Snow."
We would say, "She's no different 'from' Snow." or "She's no different 'than' Snow."
This stuff fascinates me to no end. 😆
And yet we completely understand. Language is about communication, not rules.
They are saying she is no different compared to snow, we all understood that.
@@HelTra91 …. I know that everyone understands it. I was commenting on the differences between British and U.S. English grammar and how I find it interesting.
😂. Good I didn't react to this after a few pints otherwise there would've been a more words in that sentence.
Please do the precuel next!!
We promise we'll get to it.
They've just announced a new book releasing next year with its film releasing the year after about Haymitch's games! It's not over yet😁
will you guys react to the lateste hunger games movie ???
We will. It'll be out in a few weeks.
On one hand, Gale is so much hotter than Peta. On the other hand, Gale blew up Katniss' sister.
He's meh.
🤣
To each their own. Josh Hutcherson aged like fine wine :D He's really handsome in Five Nights at Freddy's that came out last year. And his natural dark hair suits him better.
@@ptitepeluche05 agreed
I think Peeta’s both hotter and better than Gale.
For a more messed up love story, watch the fifth movie.
Peeta and Katniss do not have a messed up love story at all.
lmaoo. I read the book before watching the movie and Snow cracked me up so bad.. like boy do you hear yourself? His thoughts are so psychotic but he keeps justifying his actions, and god, the way he is soo so kind and sweet to others on the outside and appears harmless and helpless, but his thoughts are just so awful, how he is disgusted by them. He is very smart, the way he manipulates everyone.
I think that, in the end, we can conclude that this is so messed up :D
There's no other way to put it. 😂
After watching your after thoughts i would recommend the prequel. It's all about Snow and the beginnings of the Hunger Games and how it came to be as we see it in The Hunger Games.
We'll add it to our watchlist 👍
