Haymitch wasn't even in a normal Hunger Games. He was in the Second Quarter Quell, where there were 48 tributes.

When Effie said “that is mahogany”, I thought it was some kind of crime. Then I realised the was talking about the wooden table underneath them...

The prep team was ROBBED of their characters arcs and emotional growth in these films.

**gasp** *tHaT'S maHoGANy*

11:19 - finally someone realizes that while Cato certainly is a brutal sadist, he's also a victim. His death is really hard to watch, no matter how often I see this film.

Do catching fire! DO CATCHING FIRE! *DO CATCHING FIRE!* edit: thank you!

4:42 He started drinking ever since he became a mentor. He at first did try to help them but eventually he drowned in alcohol seeing 2 kids yearly die

Here's a tip: If you were to be able to choose which district to live in, ALWAYS choose one of the capitol districts. Why? Because it's an honor to be chosen, and if you don't want to be picked, there will always be someone willing to volunteer.

"Also the mayor's daughter, Madge is looking really haggard"

The first time I read the Hunger Games I was way too young and a lot of the symbolism and political devices went over my head. Returning to it as an adult I realized that it is genuinely one of the best depictions of dystopian realities in literature. From the way the districts are so preoccupied with fighting each other than the Capitol to Katniss realizing towards the end that Coin is turning into another version of Snow and that just because they fought for the same thing doesn't automatically make Coin one of the "good guys", this is seriously more topical than ever. Not to mention this is probably the best movie adaptation of a book I have ever seen. It may sound odd since the series is Y/A and therefore often discredited as something for teen girls, but I firmly believe that 40 years from now we will see this series placed on the shelf with books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 450.

“Mmmmm soggy burnt bread” That literally cracked me up 😂😂😂

Also one of the ironic and kind of scary things about the series is that the fans and readers do the same thing the Capitol does to the characters- ignoring their struggles for the sake of shallow entertainment. Katniss throughout the books is clearly losing herself and battling both an internal and external war and goes through terrible things to affect change, but the thing fans focused on was whether she should be shipped with Gale or Peeta whilst ignoring the horrors she's actually going through. It's exactly what the Capitol does by forcing her love story with Peeta to be the main source of attention rather than the systemic deaths of literal children and the inherent issues in their government.

8:14 "A trap she never uses... oh, wait" As someone who has watched the Cinema Sins video for this: "Oooooh the shade!" I'm so glad I caught that.

God i remember when this movie came out at school anytime the teacher would ask someone to take the attendance it would be “I volunteer as tribute” and all the other kids would hold up the fingers XD Edit (in2020): for those wondering I’m currently 20 turning 21 in January so this was like 8ish years ago when this stuff happened.

*Cato attempts to shoot Katniss with an arrow* "Maybe you should throw the sword" I snort-laughed on this scene in the theatres.😂😂

J Law is AMAZING in these movies! Those who say the love between her and Peeta was cold doesn't understand the book or Katniss. I think J Law/the director nailed it.

Effie: *_gasp_* That is MAHOGANY!

Cinna was one of my favorite characters... Probably the worst death in the books for me personally.

At 6:25 you’re actually correct. As an archer, your bow is your partner. Not only your bow, but your limbs, your arrow and hell in some occasions even the string. You wouldn’t just use someone else’s bow and expect to get good with right off the start.

The shaky cam was also used so that we could tell the difference between "our" cameras and "The Capital's" cameras once they entered the arena. The shot with Gale and Katniss lounging in the forest being still shot can be attributed to the later revelation that the Capital does, in fact, monitor some area close to the fence (how they knew she hunted + when they tried tricking her into getting electrocuted by setting off the fence after she crossed into the forest).

This movie as well as the book series are really inexplicable. Simply because they are so genius. It’s full of emotion. People are living in poverty, starving and being oppressed by the capitol and are forced to give up two young kids who will enter an arena along with 22 others to kill each other. Even now 8 years later I still can’t get that through my head, they are actually killing each other, while others watch on live tv. It’s just so grim but so exciting at the same time.

10:39 alright so the only part of the movie that I was genuinely irritated by was the mutts. Yes, they did a fairly good jobs, but I wish that they had stuck to the book a little more when designing them. In the book, the mutts were designed after every tribute who had died. When Katniss realizes, it makes it countless times harder to kill them. Other than that, I loved how much they stuck to the books, but I wish they included that detail.

No one: CinemaWins: S Q U I R R E L B O N E S

Isabelle Fuhrman and Alexander Ludwig I feel were great in creating their characters. Clove is tiny compared to the other tributes and compensates for that with her unhinged nature. Where as Cato is still a maniac but he is shown to still be scared in his final scene adding a complexity to his character that we didn't expect. My point is those two actors each deserve a win.

The scene between Katniss and Cinna before she's lifted up into the arena is one of my favourite scenes in any film in the last decade or so. Katniss is literally trembling - wonderful acting by Jennifer Lawrence - and Lenny Kravitz is just magnificent too. Really understated and subtle. I think I like Effie more than most: she's a product of propaganda and brainwashing and she genuinely believes what she is doing is right. In her own way she's a victim of the Capitol (not as much as people from the Districts obviously, but still) but her genuine affection for Katniss and Peeta leads her to try and help them and ultimately turn her back on everything she knew. When finally faced with reality, Effie makes the right choice. I'd love to see you win Cloud Atlas. Got panned by a lot of people but one of my all-time favourite films.

Just an interesting thought that Katniss and Peeta represent the two parts of the Hunger Games: Hunger and Games. Katniss is the Hunger, a hunter who fights to survive. Peeta is the Games, charismatic and using camouflage.

"that is mahogany!" "everything here in the presidential mansion is mahogany." "wow is that mahogany?!" effie trinket loves mahogany. i said too much mahogany now the word doesn't makes sense.

“La di da, no ones ever gonna make me kill myself.” “oh”

"Peeta Pocket" I SPIT OUT MY DRINK

"My wife is still team Gale." that is what divorce exists for

1:29 I love the arc that she does end up having children with Peeta, once he teaches her to see the good in the world again. This is perfect reference to how Peeta was better than her for Gale, as she describes in having "plenty of fire her own". She needed someone who could help her see a future rather than just fighting to stay alive in the now.

I'm so sad Madge wasn't a part of the movies, her giving Katniss the badge felt and was more important than her just finding it in the shop, especially once you learn in the sequel that Madge's aunt was in the 2nd Quarter Quell with Haymitch and Madge's aunt gave her sister the pin I believe, Madge's mother giving it to her

When Rue died every time I watch this movie I cried

"Also, the mayor's daughter, Madge, is looking really haggard" DEAR MERLIN I'M DYING

Oh, and “no one really like shaky cam, it makes you feel sick, you can never focus on anything . . . “ I like shaky cam if it’s used well, it adds to the emotion / psychology of the scene. It’s never made me feel sick, though when not done well, too much or too often it can distract and sometimes make it hard to figure out what to focus on (which admittedly, is sometimes the point). Anyway, I like it.

I would love if you did the rest of this series. It's one of the best book to movie adaptation series of all time, imho, but it gets a lot of criticism for some reason

Do the rest of the hunger games

I'm in my late 20's and I *still* read YA. It's not a demographic for the audience, it's a demographic for the characters. :)

You and cinemasins need to do like a debate. Or something. Or do a movie, One counter, you add, he subtracts.

Could we please get the rest of the series? Would love your opinion on the other ones.

Everything great about cinema wins: answer: everything.

Ru's death is still one of two movies to ever make me cry. And if you do Catching Fire, please remove a win for it not showing Haymitch's game. It was the thing I was most looking forward to when it came to the movie, and they didn't show it. I was so disapointed.

i’ve always thought that seneca crane’s beard was a reflection of his sharp or cut throat persona, instead of him having something rounded or amiable that would give off the opposite vibe. it seems controlled and short lived just like him. the makeup, architecture and costume design in this film is second to none and really effectively portrays the tone and what the audience should be feeling during certain scenes (for example the strange eeriness of effie’s pale and fake makeup not only standing out amongst the people of district 12 but giving the pretence that she is hiding her humanity).

Ok, did anyone else almost cry when Cato died in the book? He was still only 17 and he probably had the MOST painful death in the whole series! Also I legit cried when the boy from district 3 died, i don't know why, I think just the thought of anyone under the age of 18 being murdered in cold blood really gets to me!

6:11 those are capital kids, they don’t have a chance of being selected.

Here's a win: a Katniss is a flower and it's nickname is an arrowhead and the Katniss has a skill with 🏹! Cool fact huh?

Okay, you have officially played an active part in making my depression better. your videos make me laugh out l oud consistently and the delivery of that line at 5:42 is still my favourite thing ever. I love you man

Moral of the Hunger Games, rolling down a hill is the best way to escape

'Also the mayors daughter madge ' THANK YOU FOR REALISING !☺

The entire tracker jacker scene "bad trip dude, BAD TRIP"

50 EFFIE TRINKETS HAVE JOINED THE CHAT: GASP THAT IS MAHOGANY

I LOVE the fact that you talked about the soundtrack, because it is incredible in this film, especially when it’s so quiet at the beginning/ for the reaping, and the song to show the connection between Prim and Rue

"Oh that's too offensive" Over images of the dead children

Just leaving a comment to say that I'd still love to hear your take on the original Spidey trilogy. Keep up the great content! Also, I really hope we get a memorable score for Homecoming. I'll be so disappointed if we don't. Would've been awesome if Danny Elfman returned for that.

CinemaWins 2017: "Probably something with the elderly I'm thinking." Me in 2020: You goddamn seer.

Really would love to see you do the other 3 movies in the series. The second and last ones are especially really good imo and even the third is pretty good, defintely deserves a bit more credit than it gets

Three views, seventeen likes. Cinema Wins win

I like shaky cam, but sparingly and with good purpose. Yes, there's purpose here, but it's sometimes really overdone.

In eleventh grade, our school bell sounded kind of like the mockingjay whistle so everytime the bell rang me and my classmates would put our three fingers up hunger games style. 🤣

Oh honey EVERYTHING is great about the hunger games.

*Everything GREAT About* *Atlantis: The Lost Empire *Treasure Planet *Titan AE *Fifth Element

I love the Hunger Games, but Catching Fire was definitely the best film (and novel)

5:00 THAT IS MAHOGANY 7:13 MANNERS

anybody else think with the new movie coming out, he should totally do all the sequels soon?

hey just wanted to say that while I don't always agree with your points I think its awesome that your pointing out the positives, there aren't enough channels that spread positivity, keep up the good work!

Thank you for reading the book first, and your comment about the "mayor's daughter" made me laugh like crazy. (If you don"t know the mayor's daughter Madge is the one who gives Katniss the Mockingjay pin but in the movie it's just an old lady)

When are we gonna get the rest of the series? I just rewatched the series and there is so much to win about the rest. Many people have problems with some of the movies, but after watching them one after the other, I think the whole series is great. I'd love to see videos on Catching Fire and the Mockingjay movies.

Since everyone seems to think that they have to hate on the counterpart... do *EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT CINEMASINS*

still waiting on Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises

I'd like to make a request: A movie that is critically panned, but very popular, and that you *DON'T* like. I'd like to see you finding *REAL* wins in a movie you don't like, and see if the hunt changes your opinion of the movie by the end. Not a movie you haven't seen and have avoided on principle, but one you've seen and dislike.

11:44 while she still is seeing a bigger picture, in the books, she explains how killing the tribute from your district is kinda like betrayal and your district will forever hate you. So that was her main motivation for this stunt, but I still agree with you.

The music at the end with Ceaser gives me chills every time. All the music in this movie is absolutely perfect and really makes you feel like you’re in the reality.

I dare you to do Twilight. I personally didn't hate it but others obviously did. I see doing Twilight as a challenge for you.

Ok now you have to do the full series! Mockingjay deserves redemption!

Rue looks and asks exactly like my little sister so watching her die was tough.

11:25 Plus in the books, her arrows were bouncing off him! He had gotten a body armor that covered all but his face and hands!

you ever seen that movie holes

That one comment “mmm soggy burnt bread” I couldn’t stop laughing

Haymitch is honestly such an underappreciated and unterutilised character, both in the books and the films. He has such a fantastic, interesting backstory. Woody Harrelson was perfect casting, too.

7:26 this is the first movie i saw starring J Law and this is the moment I confirmed she is a great actor

EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT GOBLET OF FIRE!!!!

8:30. How would they miss that. He mentioned sponsors several times. This is why I like subtitles. People miss things while chewing popcorn.

Something I feel should be pointed out about Haymitch, he was labeled as a problem tribute. As a result, almost his entire family was killed within a month of his victory. Then, he had to go through 23 more years of watching kids die.

I’m so obsessed with the reaping scene because it’s such a strong feeling from Effie of “You truly have no clue what goes on in the districts.”

"I VOLUNTEER!" *THE STARTING OF THE MEME/GIF THAT WE ALL USE*

I do like this movie, but it was a huge missed opportunity in my opinion to not shoot the Hunger Games like an actual TV broadcast. With little to no movement on the cameras and maybe a little capital logo in the corner. They could've shown interviews with the tributes family's (one of the characters says they do that in the books) to flesh out some of the characters more. I'm not a film expert but I think it could be better than what we got, where every action scene in this movie looks like it was filmed in the middle of an earthquake, and most of the tributes are faceless and robotic.

Can we talk about how one of the songs was called "a wasp on her abdomen"

8:06 Well, that’s one way to get away fast! Me running as fast as I can after watching this video: *ROLL*

Everything GREAT about Pirates of the Caribbean Prince of Egypt PLEEEEEAAAASE

Could you please do an "Everything Great About How to Train Your Dragon 2"

I noticed how they made the love interest battle between Peta and Gale stronger by using the bread thing. Peta threw a burnt loaf to her, letting it get soaked in mud. Gale hands her a perfectly baked loaf that's relatively clean after having been wrapped in a cloth for safe keeping. That solidified Katniss's uncertainty when it came to believing Peta and her constant trust of Gale.

I honestly loved the use of a shaky camera in this movie, and the lack of sound in the very beginning of the game stuck with me a lot. It felt chaotic and scary in a way not a lot of other movies do

I see the point of using shaky cam to effect, but then it is also used constantly used in scenes where a slow cold panning would be more effective.

Lol i love your channel did you watch the Sins video before writing the wins?!?! cus I love how you cleared up some of there sins!! IE Trap, girl under weight, cake decorating your a LEGEND BROTHER!!

Do, “Catching Fire” PLEASE. I’m BEGGING.

i hope he continues this series 😭 it's been years and I'm still waiting for videos of everything great for the rest of the series

Oh man just watching this made me emotional again. I really love this series and the way it shows the utter reality of life, death, hunger, and pain.

How come there aren't any Wins or Sins about Narnia? (awesome video, by the way)

5:38 the way he said “ honesty” 😂😂

This video right here was the reason I found and fell in love with this channel. I would love it if you could do a cover of the rest of the movies? Thank you so much for the quality of the content you post, I look forward to watching your videos every single week. Thank you for making what has been the roughest year of my life, feel less heavy. 💕 Saludos de México 🇲🇽
