    This is a rare time where I believe that a character was developed better in the films than in the books. While its apparent that Effie realized the capitol were the bad guys in the books, her being a part of the rebellion in the films was amazing

      That's what I like the most about the Hunger Games movie saga, that even those VERY few things they changed from the books, they changed in a clever way and in certain cases for the better (with the exception of a couple things in the first movie, like how Katniss aquires the Mockingjay pin imo, but well)
      I love the books to death but honestly I was always bummed that at some point Effie pretty much disappears and is just mentioned vaguely at the end of Mockingjay...I adored the fact that the movies kept her around to actually let us see her grow

      Honestly, i don't think she was as empty headed and clueless/uncaring as she portrayed herself to be.
      Think about it - the districts and Panem in general were a police state - run by completely corrupt, morally bankrupt elites. Even the more prominent capitol citizens like Effie have to watch their backs. Say the wrong thing or step out of line? and you get Avoxed or worse... disappeared and have god knows what done to you. Look at what happened to poor Cinna. The walls have ears, and the damned trees have eyes in panem.
      She knew damn well what had happened to Haymitch's family, what was done to Finnick and other tributes over the years - I really think she was TRYING to spare peeta and Katniss some of that by "keeping them in line" and making them play the game and fly under the radar best she could.
      I really think she was in cahoots with Haymitch the whole time... his insider in the capitol. Who suspects the goofy, empty headed bimbette is actually a revolutionary passing messages between folks like Plutarch and Haymitch? How did haymitch even link up with Plutarch? It was effie... had to be. Who else?
      Thats just my .02 of course.

      Yea. You see it especially in the last one where it's only the two tributes instead of 'everyone's chance' Like she's made up but you can tell it was half assed and she's not even trying to play to the crowd and flaire. She's fully aware that this is EFFED UP to the MAX and she's forced to be part of it. Like not even able to 'fake cough fake cough, sorry I have the flue, fake sneeze' forced.

      No it’s not. The first quarter quell was that all of the people had to vote for the tributes. The second was twice as many tributes (2 boys and 2 girls from each district) so it was only the 3rd quarter quell that was an all stars because snow wanted to inauspiciously kill Katniss!

      I agree, I didn't like how Katnisses prep team were portrayed in the movies. In the movies they were much more heartless and didn't develop at all. I suppose the movies did that because they put Effie in District 13 to sort of fill the roles that the prep team would have had. Unfortunately, that took away the earliest opportunity in the movies for us to see that Pres. Coin had a much darker side that she kept hidden from nearly everyone.

    Personally, I think Effie in the films was done a little better than in the books - because we were able to see her personality and witness her changes and growth, and I did like how she was in the last films rather than locked up - considering everything she’s seen and how close she became to Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch, I doubt it would have been wise to have her locked up or that she could still be all sunshine and butterflies. It shows in the last films how that even though she still keeps her personality and fashionista persona, she’s showing concern for those she cares about. I feel the films make it a little more ambiguous as to what she’s going to do with her life now that the Hunger Games are over, and that’s honestly for the best than returning to the Capital.

    A lil’ rant:
    Effie’s character is such a beautiful one inside and out. I appreciate good writing that doesn’t describe “bad people” as 1-dimensional Disney villains. Effie was a capitol puppet, yet in her story-arch we see how she evolves her thinking and acknowledges the error in her personal concept of what is good/bad. THAT is how you write a story and write a character. Underneath the whole capitol facade she had some humanity behind the makeup and elaborate outfits. We should always permit people the right to pave their own destines and better themselves because there are reasons behind certain actions. Effie was just complying to the inhumane culture that she was conditioned to obey. However, she changed due to the power of friendship. Friendship works in mysterious ways. Can’t relate though...

    Effie is probably my favourite character. She was well-meaning and tried to make the last days of her tributes' lives comfortable since she knew that they didn't have much of a chance in the games. She really did care for her team, saying how they deserved so much better once she realized that there was no reason for their deaths other than for the entertainment of the Capitol. I really like what they did with her in the Mockingjay films, they really developed her character well.
    Funnily enough, Effie likes hair and makeup, and I get my hair done IRL by someone named Effie. Fun coincidence.

      No, Effie could never lived the life of District 12. Even after the events, when it was clean and peaceful, Effie was not someone that could have lived there. Effie lived in the capitol. Although things would change the city was still the only place she would have felt at home.

    I love how while the districts call them "Peacekeepers," Effie once referred to them as "Peacemakers." Another subtle difference in how the districts and Capitol view the police. The districts think they "keep" Peace from being a thing in Panem, while the Capitol thinks they "make" Peace by signing people's death warrants, like mediators.

    Usually changing a character from the books almost entirely for the films doesn't go well. For Effie, it went beautifully.

Also Haymitch and Effie's relationship was the best change to ever happen in the films

    Before I realized that the escorts and stylists are always assigned a district, I wondered if they might sometimes choose to work with someone from an outlying district so that they can feel good about themselves for working with "these poor, disadvantaged children," and if by some miracle, their tribute won, they could REALLY feel like a savior. Just a thought

    Effie is such a good character and absolutely my favorite. One thing I disagree with is that she used to genuinely enjoyed the Hunger Games. I don’t think that was totally true. Like most Capitol citizens, she didn’t seem to think they were as bad as they are, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she liked them. I think that prepping kids for their deaths did have an impact on her. While fashion was certainly an important aspect of her life, Effie could have also used it as a coping mechanism for how screwed up her job was.

    @user-hl9ww3ml2m Před 4 lety +22

    Effie’s life is the one thing about the films did that I prefer over what was done in the books. Number one because I love her character and it was nice to see more of her, and two because there’s something relieving about knowing that she didn’t have to go through anything traumatic and walked away from the whole ordeal without any scars, as she did in the books. I also wish that the books had elaborated more on exactly what was done to Effie. Literally the only thing it says is that she was imprisoned and that she had a “vacant look” in her eyes (which is extremely vague and doesn’t really provide any sort of real information). But like, I want to know what exactly happened to her. Was she tortured, or questioned, or starved or anything? No one knows. That’s another reason why I prefer what the movies did. We just know more about what happened.

    There's a Hunger Games fanfiction floating around online with almost 120 chapters that explores what could've happened if Haymitch's family lived and Snow sold him to high-ranking Capitol officials like he did Finnick, there's also a subplot of him falling in love with Effie and being the one to make her open her eyes and realise how sick and twisted everything in the Capitol is. It also has her and Haymitch act kind of like Katniss and Peeta's second parents. I don't usually read fanfiction but I had a friend who was absolutely obsessed with it and made me read ut so she could have someone to talk to about it, and it's honestly worth a read, a very interesting take, and it's cool to see Katniss' story play out from other people's perspectives, since the book is mainly told in hers only.

Idk why it’s just really funny that she takes some small things so seriously and can be so funny around others! Another thing I love that she does is in Catching Fire when they have their “wedding” and she walks by a person and says “oooo curtains.” And sort of slapped the person with a lamp head or something on. Idk I just see that as me.

    I would also like to point out how in the films they use her hair and makeup to illustrate her change from a capital pawn and into her own self. In the first hunger games she wore white makeup.
