@@roy.moreno I know you asked this 10 months ago so you probably know by now, but for anyone else wondering, Johanna's interview is - 'By the time Johanna Mason gets up, she's asking if something can't be done about the situation. Surely the creators of the Quarter Quell never anticipated such love forming between the victors and the Capitol. No one could be so cruel as to sever such a deep bond.' As much as I love the books, I have to agree that the movie Johanna is better in this part. It's pretty obvious they're all aware of what the Capitol can do if they step out of line, but as Johanna says later, there's no one left that she loves, so they can't hurt her anymore. Cussing them out on TV seems more in character.

What Haymitch says, "You never get off this train" breaks my heart. Because the Capital plays it that once you win the game, they leave you alone other than once a year, you have to help tributes from your district.

I don't think Peeta gets credit for how strong he is. He's not a physical fighter, but emotionally he's incredibly resilient, intelligent, and aware. I think him as the main love interest is a testament to the "female gaze" and the writer being a woman. He represents so many characteristics that women value in a partner. He recognizes Katniss's strengths and capabilities, he is genuinely supportive, he doesn't try to diminish who she is to be dominant (not in private and not when potentially pressured in the public eye), he is an emotional rock, capable of healthy communication even when he's hurting (thank God, because Katniss struggles with this, but I think she grows with him). I think sometimes he diminishes his own value because he's impacted by messages of what he's "supposed" to be, but I also think he knows who he is and stays true to that. Peeta is probably much closer to a healthy woman's ideal man than most movie depictions tend to represent.

Something I didn't see mentioned in the comments (though I didn't scroll down too horribly far) is that Katniss's immediate thought when they entered the arena and she was still reeling from them killing Cinna was that they were sending a message because a water-filled arena is no place for a girl on fire.

They make Peeta seem weak and like everyone is trying to protect him without explaining why in the films so the concern comes off weird to people. When Katnis put a tourniquet on his leg in the first game it was so tight that he ended up losing it after. She didn't find out until they were on stage with Ceasar.He has a prosthetic leg and him going back in was instantly seen as an automatic death sentence even beyond everyone elses.

Just a casual reminder Katniss is deadass 17 during this film, not only does she develop PTSD and likely already had C-PTSD from the living conditions in Panem but developing such severe trauma before your brain fully develops permanently alters your perception of the world. I’m not happy that they glazed over Katniss losing her hearing in one ear from the explosion at the careers’ camp or the fact that she had to sacrifice Peeta’s leg for the sake of keeping him from bleeding out but I’m just so glad Suzanne didn’t let them brush over the trauma. I was around Katniss’ age when my trauma started manifesting in similar ways to hers, it hasn’t been all that fun seeing people react to her character development with such distain when I know exactly why she acts the way she does but Suzanne’s accurate portrayal of ptsd potentially saved my life and I’m hopeful that the visual representation of it (performed amazingly by Jennifer) will not only help other people recognize their own symptoms but make the general public more sympathetic to the realities of trauma.

I know you said you don't like the idea of allies because it makes the games go by quicker but the games can actually last quite a while. The 74th ( 1st movie ) went for 18 days. I believe the longest game was something just over a month. Also, allies are a pretty vital part of the game depending on your playstyle. Careers ( district 1, 2 & 4. Although they only have 1 and 2 as careers in the movies for whatever reason ) Careers ally almost every game so they can take out the biggest threats and as soon as that's done, whoever wakes up first usually kills everyone. Or you could play the way Johanna played her games ( don't remember which one, I think it was 70th or 71st ) but Johanna played the weak card, showed everyone during training that she sucked so she got a low score so nobody thought she was a threat then just went savage on everyone when the games started.

You get so much more out of HG movies after reading the books. Without knowing the background you miss the most of little hints scattered around the movies and the movies can appear sort of shallow. The foundation of Katniss' love towards Peeta is the fact that he saved her and her family from starvation when she was 12. It's described in the first book. Her father had just died and she hasn't discovered how to hunt yet, her mother was completely checked out from reality. They hadn't had anything to eat for a while. Starvation was imminent to her at that point. Then Peeta partially burned 2 loaves of bread on purpose and tossed them to her. He got beat up for it, as he knew he would, but he did it anyway. And kept Katniss and her family alive.

Read all the books and watched the whole franchise in theaters. I snuck a whole ass meal in for this movie, which made it all the more memorable. Just a little background info that they don't really mention in the movies... Finnick was actually molested by the capitol and they killed Johanna's entire family (I forgot why) so she has nothing to lose, which is why she's so outspoken.

I just reread this book this past week and as much as I love the film, I wish they’d have split this one into 2 parts as well. There’s so much that I forgot that i loved in the book that’s wasn’t here, like the district 12 guard being turned into an avox and put with Katniss, the escapees from district 8 that Katniss helps and the whole conversation they have about district 13, Haymitchs backstory, district 12 tributes doing the training at home, how much more together Katniss mum is now, Haymitch getting sober, ALL the tributes actually talking and helping each other for days in the tribute centre, the prep team being emotional wrecks, Portia! I wish we’d gotten Portia. And all that is even before the Games. In the games I wish we’d have at least gotten the coded bread.

They could totally do a separate movie of Haymitch's games... Just the few pages explaining what happened during his games was jaw dropping and fully explains why he's an alcoholic.

I loved the whole Victory Tour scene. The music and just all of it making me feel unsafe. I don't remember if it was stated on the books or not, but it was clear how the tour was meant to keep the population frightened and reminded of the games. I believe it was like 6 months after each Hunger Games.

It’s funny you called Finnic Aquaman because one of the other tributes, Alan Ritchson, played Aquaman in Smallville. He is also in the new Jack Reacher show on Amazon Prime. He did a great job.

16:49 The new Tribute Training Center was filmed at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, which was also used in the Loki series on Disney+. Every Labor Day weekend, that same hotel is the center of the five convention hotels that host DragonCon, one of the biggest general geekery conventions on the East Coast. I've BEEN on that specific elevator from the scene at 18:43. I've had borderline PTSD from the elevators in that hotel from how busy and overcrowded they get during DragonCon. Also depending on the time of night during the convention, you may find yourself on those elevators with cosplayers wearing only *slightly* more than Johanna Mason was at the end of that scene.

This movie was definitely a step up from the first, and I was quite impressed how closely it followed the book. Joanna is definitely my favorite character in this because she is someone who is not afraid to speak her mind especially when she curses at the audience during the interview.

Because we know producers cast people a lot for looks, we should be aware that they are capitalizing on the fact that too many people just look at the 'flesh' and not the 'character' of people (yes, actors as well as in real life). It's a sad commentary on society that this is true. I love watching people dis Finnick in the beginning cause it's too cute when they realize they were so wrong about his character, that he was so good he had them fooled, :)...I adore these movies and really appreciate your reactions!

Imo Peeta and Effie are two characters that really came to life in this movie. Peeta is kind and caring and he truly cares and has respect for Katniss. Effie in the last movie was def more self caring and selfish. But in this movie you can see her grow and become more human. The reaping is a perfect example. The quivering in her voice and hesitance as she calls out Katniss since she is the only option. Then her sigh of relief when she pulls haymitch instead of Peeta and then that immediately turns into despair and fear when Peeta volunteers. Effie really truly cares about them in this movie.

I appreciate how much attention you pay to detail, emotion, and story line. Your reactions feel so incredibly personal and heartfelt because of that. You also just seem like a really cool dude. But this series saved my life in middle- high school both books and films as they released from 8th grade-senior year for me. I kept telling myself I couldn’t give up until the series was over and that was a habit I made with other shows and movies to help my depression. I relate so very strongly to katniss with ptsd, and that’s why I love hearing and feeling your emotion in these videos. I’m so happy you’re enjoying it and mockingjay part one is my favorite because it dives into the psychological part of katniss a lot and I feel seen with my own fears and struggles. Anyways sorry to make this sappy and about me, I’m just giddy that a creator I love despite just finding him has so much passion and respect for a series that could scarily be a similar reality for us one day, and acknowledges the traumas they have. Thank you for your content man. 💖🥰

I know I'm like a year late but Suzanne Collins, the author, got inspiration while she was flipping through TV channels. On one channel she observed people competing on a reality TV show and then the next channel was showing graphic details of the invasion of Iraq. The two blurring together encouraged her to write the series.

I think you were joking? But as for why District 11 is mostly/all Black people, canonically I think District 11 is supposed to be the southern part of the US: Georgia, Alabama, Florida, etc. (Also the fascist regime that forces children to murder each other is also a /tiny/ bit racist.) /jk (Also I giggle a little bit every time you call him Peter - his name is Peeta, but Peter is my dad's name lol) Also, that joke about Finnick getting strippers/hookers made my cackle considering his book bg - in the books, after he won his games, (at 14), he was forced into prostitution. I feel like there's a bingo card somewhere of all the different ways a culture can be fucked up, and Panem hits all of them.

Peeta ain’t deserve the shit. The guy is literally the best and least selfish character. He’s never been weak. Just because he’s a genuinely good person it doesn’t make him weak. The movies don’t do anything for his backstory, but the guy had horrible parents and still remained smart and kind

It wasn't shown in the movie, i think. But Peeta's family is pretty abusive. They don't care about his son. Even when Peeta got chosen to be the participant in the first hunger games, his mom said that finally district 12 will have a winner. And she didn't talk about her son but Katnis. They not even showed up for him to send him off. Yeah. That's why peeta live alone not with his family in his 'winner' house. Peeta do still care about his family, i mean if they were being killed or something he still felt bad and don't want them to be dead. It just that his family really don't care for him. That's why Peeta said "no one needs me"
