The fact that Haymitch reaped in both quarter quells, 50th and 75th
I just realized that. I have read the books multiple times, and I did not catch that!!
@@Kayla_Sandovalme too 😮😅
Am I the only person who kinda wanted to see Haymitch and Katniss together in the games?
@@Kayla_Sandovalsame 😂
@@Kayla_Sandoval lol how did you not catch that? They watch his games in the book. 😂
he’s so real for not liking gale too much. katniss was just trying to survive and he’s like … “why don’t you love me?”😖 and people say peeta did this too but as we see on the train he immediately comes to his senses that he can’t hold that on her because she was just trying to survive. peeta showed so much growth in 30 minutes while gale just gets worse and worse.
also i understand it’s annoying that katniss had to go through this again, but it’s just very accurate to how much control snow and the system has and wants to target her.
peeta was the one who painted rue to honor her and also as kind of a f you to the judges.
peeta is just as annoying. i can’t stand him or gale.
@@brianna058Peeta, who lost his leg and was sent to die twice? You’re pathetic fr peeta at least has a fucking reason to be acting the way he does. Gale doesnt.
@@brianna058real katniss should be w nobody
I don’t get the Peeta worship. Whats so great about him?
@@JessLoveyy he’s better than gale and that’s all I care about🤷🏽♂️ katniss should’ve ended w me tho
17:19 I still find it hilarious how they tried to make Gale do something heroic in the movie, resulting in that whipping… in the book, he was literally just caught carrying a dead turkey. 😆
it‘s like they tried to make us simp with gale😭🤣 am i the only one who thought he was annoying from the beginning? Reading the books i had respect for him bc he protected katniss‘ family and he saved people when they bombed 12. i‘m not really a fan of love triangles but for me it only took gale‘s character for me to not like him. from the first movie on he‘s guilt tripping katniss bc of the love story with peeta and he continues to make her feel bad for the way she feels about peeta. It‘s just pure jealousy. And him ending up to be responsible *SPOILER* for prim‘s death was definitely the last straw. that‘s why i loved how the end of the movies and books portrayed peeta and gale as these "two sides“ of katniss: peeta always seeing the best in situations and people in comparison to gale who might fight for the right cause but his morals and corruption stand in his way which led to him killing prim. peeta was always the kind and gentle guy that wanted to work things out while gale was just there for revenge or even power, which he got in the end as like some sort of leader in district 2 (i can‘t remember the details about his future). but in the end katniss ended up choosing the kind and gentle way (peeta) to handle things even when there was no hope
@@jalen.0609 they reduce Peeta's role to make Gale look better. Gale did very little.
@@darkwolf1202very little without him katniss family would have starved.
@@maelguiraud3568 and without Peeta they would have died sooner. without that bread ...
The whole section in the movie from the whipping to the reaping is ridiculous in its attempt to make Gale look better. In the book Katniss kisses Gale declares him her choose then goes what do you mean I love Gale what do I mean I love Gale hopes Gale forgets the kiss wishes she could ask Peeta to stay in her bed with her becomes worried Peeta doesn’t make it 3 houses down in a snowstorm asks Peeta to stay in bed with her becomes obsessed with watching Peeta draw becomes fascinated with Peeta’s eyelashes chooses to sacrifice herself so Peeta can live wishes Peeta would show her some sort of affection and comfort then becomes upset Peeta volunteers as tribute.
You could tell the tributes were also protecting Peeta _for_ Katniss. They need her to be physically and mentally well and to be that she needs Peeta alive and safe. That's why that girl sacrificed herself for him.
they wanted Peeta to live because he was a great person.
Haymitch knew damn well only way to have any control over Katniss’s impulsive and untrusting nature that Peeta needed to be in the Arena and in District 13. Haymitch knows Katniss so well that is something happened to Peeta she would shutdown and be of no use. Yes, the other tributes where saving Peeta, but Peeta was saving other tributes. Only reason Katniss didn’t kill Finnick was Peeta. Haymitch understood Katniss’ feelings about Peeta even if she didn’t. Haymitch was honoring both deals shit just went down badly.
Actually facts
51:18 Snow did something bad to Johanna, when she won her games the Capitol offers to sell her to male elites, she refuses and the Capitol punished her by slaughtering her entire family just like Haymitch.
That's never confirmed in the books. Also, Finnick was sold and it's never said either that it was only to female elites.
@@ptitepeluche05 In the books Snow kills Johanna's family because she refuses to become a prostitute and have her body sold to capitol citizens like Finnick was forced to do for years. She had no one left so how were they gonna punish her anymore? Her family was murdered, she's had to go through the Hunger Games twice against her own will, she had to mentor tributes for 3 year and watch those kids brutally die knowing she couldn't help them, she got tortured in the capitol for weeks, it honestly can't get any worse.
@@hobbes6557 she never says this is why Snow killed her family. It's probably the reason but it's never confirmed in the book.
@@ptitepeluche05 Really? I could've sworn I read that was the reason somewhere...Maybe Suzanne confirmed it in an interview? I don't know lol either way it's depressing to think he family and dead.
When Sophie said about Finnick: “That’s him knowing the secrets”
Boom: 🎯
They’re still in District 12 but moved to the Victors Village where victors are awarded their own houses. It’s a bit further than the Seam where Katniss grew up in and a good walk from Town where Peeta lived. The Victors Village has 12 houses built for the district victors and every district have them. They were also to receive money every month (enough to support 10 families) for the rest of their lives. Which means that when Peeta said they’d give a month of their earning to Rue and Tresh’s family every year, they’d be covered for life.
And the entire district gets monthly shipment of fresh food for the year, which after Snow shows his disapproval, begins to arrive rotten in District 12.
You're going to have to explain everything to them because they're constantly having conversation over the movie dialogue. And you'll have to explain everything again in the next movie since they missed half of this one.
Haymitchs quell had double the amount of victors and won by bouncing an axe off the force field, killing the last tribute. Bc the Capitol saw this as defiance, his whole family was killed. Then he had to go on and mentor children who he watched die for 25 years.
Annie survived her games bc she was a strong swimmer and everyone else basically drowned. She has immense mental trauma from it and her and Finnick bonded over their shared trauma between the capitol and games.
Mentors of the games often take in a more parental form for the victors bc of how much time spent w each other. Plus w Katniss and Haymitch, he’s more of a father figure bc their trauma and Katniss lack of father figure. He’s one of the few she allows to console her. Who actually understands her. Who doesn’t forget how old she is.
I love this series so much omfg.
Haymitch also had an ally in the games, but when they eventually split up, not very long after she was killed by a bird. I’m sure he feels immense guilt over the whole situation and had to watch Katniss and Rue be in a similar situation. He really does understand Katniss like few really do (Gale, Prim, and Peeta) and is the only other one who does truly love Peeta.
More like 23 years not 25 years. Since katniss and peeta won at 74th annual the hunger games. So, haymitch mentor the District 12 tributes, from 51th-73th annual the hunger games, who those tributes in that times are all death.
@@LoneWolf-vb9yk I was just rounding for simplicity really lol. He did have to worry like hell for Katniss and Peeta too for a couple years after their games too haha.
This is one of those films where the sequel was significantly better than the first film. I remember watching this as a 12yo and seeing that frame change during the arena scene and being so hyped and nervous at the same time.
I think the 3 fingers sign was okay to do for district 12 because it's their district's tradition
The sign itself is fine. It's the whistling with it that isn't. As it was the sound Rue and Katniss were doing in their hunger games to guide themselves back to one another. It's seen as an act of defiance. Whereas the sign itself represents respect and is often associated with funerals, etc.
And her family started it - the capitol would riot if anything happened to Prim
@abbiekd its still associated with the mockingjay. They would've killed that old man for starting that group moment of defiance even with no whistle.
Peeta is the one that drew the mural of Rue during the testing, knowing it would make Katniss mad bc that's when she truly shows herself
Sorry to be a pain… but Peeta didn’t do it for katniss to see at all, I think people get confused. Peeta did it for himself, as his own for, of rebellion to hold the gamemakers accountable for what they did since it disgusts him, he wanted their anger to go to him rather than on katniss. He wouldn’t want to anger her here, he wants katniss to survive and katniss getting mad and doing something risky wouldn’t be helpful for that, it would just put a bigger target on her back than what he wants. Book wise katniss doesn’t see Peeta’s painting but knew he angered the gamemakers, so she decided to do something worse to put that negative attention back on herself since they both want to save each other. Even though the movie does it differently with katniss seeing it, there’s a deleted scene of Peeta telling katniss she was never meant to see it. I hope I don’t come off as annoying, I understand why people would think that but it’s the opposite of what Peeta wants to achieve and sometimes he just does things for himself, especially since he broke the rules and stayed painting for 40 minutes refusing to leave when he’s supposed to only have 15 minutes
Yeah, Peeta did this as a act of rebellion. Btw, no reactor I’ve ever watched picked on on that. 🙈 Was the set up too complicated?
@@sierotkamarysia4199girl I’ve seen so many reactions to this movie and truly no one picks up on that lmao 😭 they’re all like “wait who did that, that’s messed up” WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS PEETA BC HES PISSED sorry I’ll calm down now 😂
In the book Katniss didn’t see the painting it was covered by a mat because it couldn’t be entirely cleaned up. She found out when Haymitch asked how their private sessions went. Peeta did it to hold the gamemakers accountable.
@@clover2739I have seen so many reactions, and they get that scene wrong every time!!! I’ve never seen a reaction that gets it right. If anyone knows of one, please tag their channel!
Guys, they are in District 12 they just live in the victors village now. Which is in a separate part of 12.
from the looks of it.. Beetie was already wrapping the wire around the Spear and I think Finnick was supposed to be the one to throw it up but obviously Beetie was electrocuted.
Katniss noticed what Beetie was doing so she put it around her arrow and shot it.
Throw it up into the forcefield????
probably just throw it at the wall of the forcefield to open up an area so they could run away @@derkek7084
I don't think he needed Finnick. The same force field that blasted him was close enough for him to use.
Thank you for actually respecting Peeta and what he did.
Katniss is in the woods because she still helps Gale s family by hunting despite the fact she doesn t need those resources anymore. Gale refused to take any money from her so the least she does is hunt while he works in the mines. She lived in the Victor s village which is a part of district 12 specifically built for the victors of the games and only Peeta, Katniss, Haymitch and their families live there as of now
I was so shocked the first time I watched Hunger Games. I thought it was just going to be a typical teen dystopia movie but nahhh it just morphs into something completely unexpected. The authoritarian regime vs rebels themes in particular are so intriguing because there are elements of it reflected in real life history.
I remember from the book. One of the things that allowed Gale and Katniss to slip in and out of the district is because the fence wasn't electrified. When the new peacekeepers came they turned on the fence and Katniss had to find a way back in.
“He. Can’t escape her. He hate her.”
OH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THE HALF OF IT FR. 10:56
So the 3 finger salute is a district 12 symbol it's used at funerals and stuff it's a way of saying "goodbye" or "thank you for your sacrifice" but it originated in district 12 so the capitol doesn't like when other districts use it because its a sign of unity between the districts which they don't like (also why katniss's family and district can use it and not get harmed)
They were first to do it in the film AND her family started the chain reaction in the crowd - the capitol would have rioted if anything happened to Prim for doing that for her sister. But district 11? And so on? If someone in 12 did it & is clearly in defiance & Katniss' family wasnt around? For sure they would have been tortured or killed.
@@orphanedhanyou correct
You guys will get it after seeing all the movies ( so you have the whole story ) but Peet’s was not going to let Katniss go without the shot of him being there to protect her, if they had called Peeta name Haymitch would have volunteered and nothing Peeta could have done, that’s why it was so fast… Peeta gave up everything for Katniss his life his freedom from going back in the games all cus she’s his world and thinking only one is making it out Peeta was going to make sure she was that one ☺️
I always wondered why Haymitch didn’t just volunteer before any name was pulled. Was there some prohibition against doing so?
Haymitch does say if his names is called and Peeta volunteered there is nothing he can do. However, I believe Haymitch actually needed Peeta to go into the arena so that he could work with the rebellion on the escape and because Peeta would be able to keep Katniss from acting on impulse so she would remain in the necessary alliance. That is why everyone was saving and protecting Peeta was so that Katniss would stay in the alliance.
That and if Peeta was in the capitol mentoring Snow would have easy access to grabbing him. Haymitch and Katniss know how each other think so Haymitch knows how much Peeta means to her even if she doesn’t so Haymitch knew damn well Snow having Peeta would break her and keep her from agreeing to being the Mockingjay. So Haymitch needed Peeta in the arena.
The book establishes that reaping can be rigged. So I believe the third quarter quell reaping was rigged by the Capitol so that Peeta would enter the arena. Killing Katniss with Peeta still alive and mourning is just as dangerous to them. At one point Katniss describes the benefit of Peeta living through the arena instead of her is that his love for would leave him a tragic figure whose ability to weave words and move a crowd would help to lead the rebellion. So the capitol either needs both Katniss and Peeta dead or for one to kill the other if they hope to quash the uprisings. The fact both Katniss and Peeta pull 12s for quarter quell and the events of mockingjay demonstrate this. However, the rigged reaping benefits the rebellion’s plan because Haymitch needs Peeta in the arena and 13 so that Katniss will be easier to control. I say Haymitch because until Katniss’s reaction to Peeta’s death key players thought the star crossed lovers was an act on her part.
The problem with these movies is in order to sell the love triangle they upgraded Gale and downplayed Peeta. While the romance between Katniss and Peeta was a show they had to present it was actually real. However, you had a 17 year old who had big feelings she was having difficulty processing that she pushed down under a microscope being forced to be a distraction. At the end of Catching Fire Katniss says “I trusted him [Haymitch]. I put what was precious [Peeta] in Haymitch's hands and he has betrayed me.”
Gale was never an actual option in the book. He was friend zoned and portrayed as Katniss’ cousin so that her only friend being interviewed during the 74th Hunger Games wasn’t a good looking male..
Peeta had rooted in Katniss’ heart with the bread that saved her and she kept tabs on him. In fact she was upset he was reaped after she had volunteered. Katniss also references several times their eyes would meet at school only to flit away from each other. I would argue if Katniss was the spark then Peeta was the air that allowed it to catch fire.
There is no love triangle in the book…it was always going to be Peeta. A lot of his stuff from the book was cut of the movie.
A sampling of Katniss thoughts on Peeta in Catching Fire.
***He manages to wake me and calm me down. Then he climbs into bed to hold me until I fall back to sleep. After that, I refuse the pills. But every night I let him into my bed. We manage the darkness as we did in the arena, wrapped in each other’s arms, guarding against dangers that can descend at any moment
***I wish Peeta were here to hold me, until I remember I'm not supposed to wish that anymore. I have chosen Gale and the rebellion, and a future with Peeta is the Capitol's design, not mine.
***So what should we do with our last few days?”
“I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you,” Peete replies.
“Come on, then,” I say, pulling him into my room.
It feels like a luxury, sleeping with Peeta again. I didn’t realize until now how starved I’ve been for human closeness. For the feel of him beside me in the darkness.
***I look up into those blue eyes that no amount of dramatic makeup can make truly deadly and remember how, just a year ago, I was prepared to kill him. Convinced he was trying to kill me. Now everything is reversed. I’m determined to keep him alive, knowing the cost will be my own life, but the part of me that is not so brave as I could wish is glad that it’s Peeta, not Haymitch, beside me
***Peeta and I sit on the damp sand, facing away from each other, my right shoulder and hip pressed against his.
After a while I rest my head against his shoulder. Feel his hand caress my hair.
"Katniss... If you die, and I live, there's no life for me at all back in District Twelve. You're my whole life", he says. "I would never be happy again."
I start to object but he puts a finger to my lips. "It's different for you. I'm not sayin it wouldn't be hard. But there are other people who'd make your life worth living." ... "Your family needs you, Katniss", Peeta says.
My family. My mother. My sister. And my pretend cousin Gale. But Peeta's intension is clear. That Gale really is my family, or will be one day, if I live. That I'll marry him. So Peeta's giving me his life and Gale at the same time. To let me know I shouldn't ever have doubts about it.
Everithing. That's what Peeta wants me to take from him.
"No one really needs me", he says, and there's no self-pity in his voice. It's true his family doesen't need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.
"I do", I say. "I need you." He looks upset, takes a deep breath as if to begin a long argument, and that's no good, no good at all, because he'll start going on about Prim and my mother and everything and I'll just get confused. So before he can talk, I stop his lips with a kiss.
I feel that thing again. The thing I only felt once before. In the cave last year, when I was trying to get Haymitch to send us food. I kissed Peeta about a thousand times during those Games and after. But there was only one kiss that made me feel something stir deep inside. Only one that made me want more. But my head wound started bleeding and he made me lie down.
This time, there is nothing but us to interrupt us. And after a few attempts, Peeta gives up on talking. The sensation inside me grows warmer and spreads out from my chest, down through my body, out along my arms and legs, to the tips of my being. Instead of satisfying me, the kisses have the opposite effect, of making my need greater. I thought I was something of an expert on hunger, but this is an entirely new kind.
***As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Capitol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta’s child could be safe.
***When I wake, I have a brief, delicious feeling of happiness that is somehow connected with Peeta.
***By late afternoon I lie with my head in Peeta’s lap making a crown of flowers while he fiddles with my hair claiming he is practicing knots. After awhile his hands go still.
“What?” I ask.
“I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now, and live in it forever,” he says.
Usually this sort of comment, the kind that hints his undying love for me, makes me feel guilty and awful. But I’m so relaxed and beyond worrying about a future I’ll never have, I just let the word slip out.
“Okay,” I say. I can hear the smile in his voice. “Then you’ll allow it?”
“I’ll allow it.
***When Peeta holds out his arms, I walk straight into them. It's the first time since they announced the Quarter Quell that he's offered me any sort of affection. He's been more like a very demanding trainer, always pushing, always insisting Haymitch and I run faster, eat more, know our enemy better. Lovers? Forget about that. He abandoned any pretense of even being my friend. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck before he can order me to do push-ups or something. Instead he pulls me in close and buries his face in my hair. Warmth radiates from the spot where his lips just touch my neck, slowly spreading through the rest of me. It feels so good, so impossibly good, that I know I will not be the first to let go.
***I like to watch his hands as he works, making a blank page bloom with strokes of ink, adding touches of color to our previously black and yellowish book. His face takes on a special look when he concentrates. His usual easy expression is replaced by something more intense and removed that suggests an entire world locked away inside him. I've seen flashes of this before: in the arena, or when he speaks to a crowd, or that time he shoved the Peacekeepers' guns away from me in District 11. I don't know quite what to make of it. I also become a little fixated on his eyelashes, which ordinarily you don't notice much because they're so blond. But up close, in the sunlight slanting in from the window, they're a light golden color and so long I don't see how they keep from getting all tangled up when he blinks.
Such a good comment, thank you for this 🙏🏾😭😭😭
I was waiting for the paragraph where she goes on about his eyelashes! Like if anyone questions Katniss's feelings for Peeta, just reread that paragraph! You don't go on about someone's eyelashes like that unless you're in love.
Wow so good. I think I might’ve liked book Peeta more
Book Peeta was amazing and that does not come through in the movies. They upgraded Gale though. In the movie Gale is whipped because he was defending people and attacked a peace keeper in the book Gale leaves Katniss because he is upset that Katniss’ plan to leave the district included Peeta so he heads to head peacekeeper Cray house to sell a turkey and discovers Cray has been replaced by a new head peacekeeper who arrests him and whips him from poaching. This change makes Gale look better. In the book Peeta puts himself, Katniss and Haymitch on rigorous and demanding training and diet plan to prepare them for the Quell he has them training like Careers to ensure Katniss and Haymitch both come home. This change makes Peeta look weaker.
In all actuality Peeta is so much physically and mentally stronger than both Gale and Katniss that he literally loses everything (his leg, his family and himself) but manage’s to find his way back and still see that life can be good again.
Read the book it’s amazing. Peeta was too good for this world and deserves more respect than these movies give him. Katniss would have not made it through all three books if not for Peeta, but she would have made it regardless of what Gale did.
The kiss she gives Gale right before the quell reaping does not exist in the books pretty sure they added it so there was one romantic kiss between them. There are only 4 kisses with Gale in the book and none of them romantic. The one president snow sees which Katniss doesn’t know how to feel about but plans to give a speech basically rejecting it that never happens because they both end up acting like it never happened, the kiss while he is one the table after the whipping that she hopes he doesn’t remember, the kiss she gives him after his retelling of the bombing of 12 and his remembering the whipping kiss but he tells her she only kisses him when is pain and the kiss when she is a shell of a person who is mourning the loss of Peeta and trying to feel anything but loneliness and grief which he breaks off telling her to now kiss him because he knows it’s Peeta she is thinking about. However, every book there is a kiss with Peeta which causes her to feeling stirrings in her chest, warmth to spread throughout her body or causes her to feel hunger. So it really was not a love triangle she wanted one of them and it was not Gale.
I like how you stated that "She broke the system, figuratively and literally"! This is my favorite book to movie adaptation. The 3rd is rough to get thru bc it's so depressing but very important part of story. 2nd and 4th movie are my favorites!
Haymitch lives in district 12..... 😭 that was stated in the first one he just always stays in his house
the author of the books actually got the idea after watching the news and having a nightmare about what‘s going on in our world these days. The movies play in the future where panem (the old north america) is the only place that survived climate change and war. this new government (the capitol) was created by the rich people where the poor people were put into 13 districts and each has their own task to supply the capitol. The capitol lives in luxury while the districts are starving "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer“. This led to the first rebellion where the capitol then made a deal with the strongest district which was district 13 (military district that provided weapons for the capitol) where the people of district 13 had to leave panem forever so the capitol could end up bombing the place of district 13 to make it look like they‘ve killed them all to spread fear. This lead to the end of the first rebellion and after that the capitol came up with the hunger games to keep the districts in line.
I was super annoyed Katniss and Peeta went back into the arena a second time when I first read the book, but honestly Catching fire ended up being my favorite of the three books. I loved seeing old victors come together in the hunger games to take down the capitol.
Remember the books were written to teach 12-16 year old students about authoritarian politics and war so it's not going to go like a "franchise"
Mockingjay part 1 is my second fave of the original movies coz it has the details that the books can’t show since it’s written in Katniss’ perspective. It has more to do with how the rebels/districts react to their Mockingjay and how greatly she affects the rebellion. It has some of my favourite scenes and a really good setup for the final movie.
In the scene where they show their abilities, I always thought Katniss stringing up the old game maker was her saying her talent is unaliving game makers 🤣and I just get so tickled everytime I see it
haha i can’t tell if you’re joking or not at the end… but definitely the craziest and best ending ever fr. we LOVE a good cliff hanger.
also, Katniss does in fact still live in district 12, but if you saw on the sign it’s called the “Victor’s Village” which is basically where the winners of the hunger games lives. Each district has a victor’s village neighborhood. meaning Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch all live in that neighborhood.
The mockingjay has so much more symbolism after watching TBOSAS .. it shows why snow hates them so much besides just the fact they stand for hope
If nobody told you yet, katniss and Peeta are both 16 in the first book The second book is set a year later right before the next hunger games and the third book is directly following the second, so there's 17 and Mockingjay too. Keep in mind these are still kids. A lot of people forget that when watching these movies
"There is no District 12" always gets me lol
You can't move out of your district in Panem--all of that is restricted. The Victors' Village is specially built for the winners of the games, set aside from the main town... but only Haymitch, Peeta, and Katniss live there. And Haymitch lived there alone for two and a half decades.
Of course, the real question was "What if you actually fall in love with someone who they're forcing you to pretend to be in love with?" She basically was just not interested in a relationship at all, and people on all sides with different motives were trying to force her into one.
I love Mair calling out Gale toxic attitude because a lot of men in real life will be like him and see no problem with it so thank you
Exactly!!!
its awesome to see the cultural resurgence of The Hunger Games & all the reactors who never read the books and don't know where the story goes! So excited to see your next reactions to Mockingjay pt.1 & 2!
29:16 Peeta actually used his very limited time reserved to impress the judges to paint Rue. He knew Katniss was going right after him and knew that she's the most threatening when something touches her. He witnessed it many times; Katniss does best when she doesn't have the time to think about consequences of her actions and simply executes things. That scene is so perfect because you can see her getting fueled up at Rue's sight. You can see her go "You killed Rue? Well, in turn, with a few berries, I killed Seneca Crane, who was in your seat last year, so be careful for your life." It was definitely a threat which Peeta made possible.
I love what they did in the scene with Wiress, Beetee and Katniss, their conversation where Beetee says "There is always a flaw in the system" and looks at Katniss while she looked up at the forcefield, I always interpret that scene as Katniss is the flaw in the system 🙂
Also A really funny memory with my mum, we were watching this in the theaters and she leaned over to me, when the monkey mutts show up, she says "Awww monkeys!!!" And I leaned back over to her and shaking my head I said "NOoooooo" and laughing at her because I've read the books, she was jump scared 😂😂
The directors were going to end the movie with Katniss being air lifted up… but they didn’t want people in so much suspense and have too many questions until the next movie that was released a yr later!!
Bro, this is a YOUNG ADULT movie/book and it's sooo intense. And JLaw put everything into this role!
"They are about to insert a cannonball!"
"I think they just meant get a cannon ready cause it looks like Peeta will die"
"Oh"
If nobody told you, Joanna and some of the other people previous victors when talking to katniss or being around katniss they were being overtly sexual because they could tell how uncomfortable she was from that in the first games. Like there was some moments in the book where Peeta basically had to disrobe to get at certain wounds and whatever and she refused to look. It was even like that when. Gayle was brought back to her house after being whipped half to death and that was the intention the new head peacekeeper was intending on whipping him to death to send a message. So when they got him back to katnisses house and the mother and sister started taking care of him, they immediately took off all the clothes and started mixing up home remedies and they were told to gather snow from outside which they would mix with herbs to create something called a snow coat that they would put on the lacerations and she refused to look. She's very uncomfortable with that sort of thing. Her sister, who's 13 at this time didn't give a flying f*** that there was a naked man in the room but katniss was very uncomfortable
I liked the scene when Katniss started making theories about old lady slowing Finnick down ans Heymitch shot her down reminding her that humanity can still exist 😔
katniss is rich now and doesnt have to hunt but bc gale won’t take her charity her money etc, she hunts for him and his family
Wow never knew that
57:28 the scream hahaha you guys are cracking me up😂
The gamemakers have to cheat and introduce threats. Otherwise, whats stopping the players from just camping it out and be friends?
29:07 Peeta Mellark painted Rue as his Talent to inspire Katniss Everdeen to do her best work.
It doesn't say in the movies but in the books it confirms that former Vic tors if they have children, their children are not immune from being reached when they turn 12. I don't know if it's ever happened, but as you'll see in this movie, some families have been hit more than once like that pair from. I believe district 2. They were a boy and a girl who were reaped in back to back years I mean just think about what that would do to their family. They just potentially lost one of their children and by some miracle they come back alive. Then the next year their other child goes and what are the odds they get them back
I’ve watched a few reactions to this movie, which I will admit, has many unexpected twists and turns. You both were on top of every single twist the movie had to offer. You make great content! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series
Really? This is the most clueless reaction I've ever seen. They don't understand anything
@@sociallyawkwardqueen6303 yea its really funny to see but they are kinda on point. They picked up things earlier than most honestly even if they were confused 😂
@@sociallyawkwardqueen6303Exactly. They’re a lovely couple but they weren’t very quick to pick up the parts of the movie 😅. I appreciate their effort thought
@@mi1125she admitted at the end of the previous reaction she had seen and been told major plot points of this film so it wasn't a blind reaction
I love how you described Peeta and Katniss’s time on the beach as “real…all real” when Katniss later helps Peeta determine was is real and not real.
😑"Sophie, if you don't throw that old lady in the water."
Hilarious.
"Oh hes(snow) a hatter" me after reading the new book and watching the ballad of songbirds and snakes: ooh you have noooo idea
You NEVER want to be the recipient of a look like that one at the end.
So Gail's beating was different in the books. It was for a different reason and whatever what happened was after he had his argument with katniss. He goes back to the town square with his kill which was a wild turkey and he brought it to the head game maker who he didn't know was just replaced by Commander thread. The previous head game maker was a good customer of his and his favorite thing to buy was turkey so he naturally after shooting a turkey came to him to a It is fresh as possible and the other guy having just taken over caught him red-handed with something he shouldn't have had cuz he'd have to go outside the district gate in order to get it. So he was basically red-handed poaching so the guys like okay. Let's take him to the square and make a example of him. He beats this man and tell he his back is just in shreds and he is unconscious other peacekeepers go up to him like hey the kids already unconscious. We're done here and he proceeds to punch those people and knock them. Unconscious and actually they come back in the series as people who have had their tongues removed for treason (avox)
Yessss I’ve been waiting for y’all reaction to this one! It’s the best of the franchise by far ❤
I love that you're not feeling Gale at all haha 🤣 he's such a FLOP!
Haha true
They’re in District 12, the Victors Village. All districts have a victors village for the winners.
I'm loving these hunger games reactions. The hype when Katniss broke the game 😭
One thing I've only now noticed... Remember in the first movie when Rue died and we saw a man start a fight/riot in District 11 and we supposed it was Rue's father? Now when her family is shown... we don't see a dad in there, only the mom and kids. He was probably executed for starting that fight back when Rue died.
The fact that when sophie starts talking about killing Snow, Mair goes into a coughing fit - it's kind of an unintentional foreshadow lololol
The way Bedee Joanna and Finnick all wore gold during the training. Bedee a gold armband Joanna gold lipstick and Finnick gold body paint were trying to show Katniss that they were supporting her even before the games began
They surrounded the area in water because they didn't think Katniss could swim because district 12 doesn't have water like that. But when she was little her dad took them to a swimming hole in the woods ( where they technically aren't allowed to go) and he taught her how to swim
Omg Mair screaming in a higher pitch than Sophie I gagged lol
this is basically mair falling for peeta over 1h
Isn’t that all of us?😅😂
This was a brilliant movie adaptation of the books. The ONLY thing I wish they’d at least touched on was how Haymitch’s win in the second Quarter Quell where he had to survive TWICE the number of tributes (47 others) and how the Capitol punished his use of the forcefield to win by killing his entire family 2 weeks after he got back home.
Your reaction to Katniss breaking the dome was so funny hahaha
22:47
Peter relax
--ITS PETAAAAAAAA
The reason district 12 can make that sign with their fingers is because it originated there. It didn’t have a rebellious meaning at first.
After that moment though? As long as they didn't hurt Prim & get all her fans in the capitol mad, they would def kill people for using the symbol after that moment when they see how other district started using it too.
So baboon story. When my kids were little we lived in Portland Oregon and before we moved to Michigan we took the kids to the zoo. My son was 1 1/2 and in a stroller. At the baboons the big daddy (it was a mom a dad and a baby) came over and stared at my son for a solid 5 minutes, then made a kissy face at him and left. It was amazing. Just so you don't take away this game version of baboons.
Also, Katniss and Peeta: shared trauma. Movie 1 I liked here much better with Gale but the love is understandable.
57:29 😭😭😭💀💀💀 HIS REACTION
Peeta painted the picture of Rue
what the heck, I literally just watched your reaction to hunger games 😭 I’m so early
same, what even 😭
Peeta has always been my favorite. Book to screen❤
Same❤
The sign they do with the 3 fingers is from the district 12, so when other districts do it it’s seen as an act of defiance, cause they’re not supposed to know it or communicate with other districts. That’s why nothing happens when they do it in 12s reaping. Also, it’s said in the books they do it in funerals, to pay respect to the ones fallen, but in the second movie they kinda use it as a sign for hope
He’s so real for disliking gale 😂
Lol true
“President snow is old though, they can just walk up and kill him, like hes not that strong,” im literally dying wth 😂 lmfao, 21:31 lmfaooo stop thats hilarious 😂
A lot of the victors get forced into prostitution after winning the games (Finnick is one of them, Joanna too but she refused so they killed everyone she loved). Keep in mind that every tribute is reaped from a pool of under 18s so they're all essentially minors. It's ironic Katniss was initially against the starcrossed lovers storyline Peeta created for them in the first movie, because them being a public couple saved them both from being forced into sex slavery.
It's never confirmed in the books that it's what happened to Johanna. It's implied though, kinda.
Ikr??? So many people miss the fact Peeta and Katniss literally saved each other from a horrible fate!
@@rachelrosenstein9975 or Snow would have sold them as a couple at some point. Remember that they tried to perform breast augmentation on Katniss when she was unconscious just after she won the first Games and Haymitch fought really hard to prevent it.
@@ptitepeluche05 I don’t think it would sell that good idk
Gale and Katniss aren't together but he does like her that way, and did before the events of the first movie. Maybe it was his vibes you were picking up on.
There is a part of District 12 (and every district) called "Victor's Village" with nice houses. That is where Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch live now. But it is still District 12. It's a bit crazy because most of them are empty and people freeze to death and sh!t. The movie doesn't really explain it besides one quick moment when Katniss passes under a sign that says "Victor's Village."
Peeta painted the image of Rue as his "skill." He does it to "hold them accountable." Katniss doesn't see it in the books. It doesn't really make sense that the Capitol would allow her to see it. But movies are a visual medium.
Beetee (the Smart Guy) did not attempt to kill himself. He said his plan was to electocute the Careers but his real plan was to short circuit the force field (as Katniss did with her arrow). When he drove his knife into the force field to connect it to the wire, he was blown back like Peeta was earlier. He never said his real plan aloud so Snow wouldn't know but Plutarch (the Gamemaker) made sure the wire he needed was among the weapons.
I live for the Gale slander
Girl same
They don't literally say it in the film but it's obvious when you think about the physics of fog - when the fog was inhaled it burned their throats and lungs too not just their outer skin. They had to gargle in pain just like when you laughed at Finnick to clear it out.
How is it funny that Peeta immediately volunteered & was willing to sacrifice himself?
A cool character trait about Katniss is how she's all about survival for her sister. She needs to survive to help provide for her sister and district. So it makes sense for her to be dismissive about her love triangle with Gale and Peeta.
She is still in her district in a nice house
56:00 The way Mair is listing off the events 😂
A little bit late here, but yes. The Victor's Village where Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch lives in is in their district. So yep.
They're in District 12!
24:38 As a gamer, watching Peeta sit up into the stereotypical "serious business time" position when they start talking about Finnick always gets a laugh out of me 🤣😂🤣😂
Im so glad you guys are doing these movies.
The peacekeeper knew who she was, he was just so angry he didn't think and check who he was hitting.
Love these reactions guys! Really is fun hearing your theories
Love seeing someone immediately clock how annoying Gale is lol
Same lol
Ok so when Katniss saw the painting of Rue on the ground before her “score audition” or whatever, the artist was Peeta. The tributes audition in order by district, male then female. But Peeta was showing defiance towards the Capital, and maybe intentionally spurring Katniss to do something crazy and boy she delivered 😂
43:20 you got me with that reaction 🤣 poor Finnick lmao
Loved y’all’s reaction! One of my favorites of the Hunger Games! Y’all definitely gained a subscriber, and I can’t wait to see what y’all have in store!!
Also peeta drew rue to rebel in a way to draw all the anger off katniss on him and katniss knew this when she saw it and realized what peeta was trying to do so she did something worst so the anger would focus onto her again
Winners of the hunger games live in their distric still, but in their own little suburbs street with mansions for them. Its usually empty because not everyone for every distric wins. So its only a couple winners per distric. Their prize kinda sucks, but compared to squirls and wet bread in the rain... its something.
They don't just get the house, they also get a bunch of money AND food delivered to the entire district for life. They are still being kept under the thumb of an oppressive regime, but that's the Capital's strategy: get the districts to forget the big picture, and instead focus on competing to win because it allows them to become a source of relief and provision for their entire district for DECADES.
Please stop trying to make Gale and Katniss a couple. They're not. They never were.
Eh, that’s not what people were saying 10 years ago. The “Team Gale” versus “Team Peeta” energy was really strong when the books came out. Even though the author didn’t focus on the love triangle as much as the movies do, teenagers love the love story and will “ship” who they want together. I see it all the time on tumblr in other fandoms lol. And now that I’m an adult out of fandom…it’s definitely more annoying to me now lol 😅
@@jessicamagri8211the teens were always shipping, but canonically, they never were. In fact, Suzanne Collins originally wrote them as cousins, but the publishers pushed her to change it for a forced love triangle perspective.
Yes thank you
They still stay in their district after they won. They just go to the victors village of that district. Which is where haymitch was living all alone cause he was the only district 12 victor (well living anyways)
The next two movies are even crazier, but so good.
Damn, bro. What you mad at? Y’all can go directly into Mocking Jay part 1 right now! We all had to wait over a year when these were playing in theaters, lol.
She’s hunting with Gale because his family needs to eat, and also it’s who she is so yeah that too
Yay! Glad i subbed at a great time y’all are just getting started here for the journey✌🏾✨ my favorite movie of the franchise.
