    In the books you actually get to hear about Haymitch's time in the games. he participated in the 50th annual hunger games which was the 2nd quarter quell meaning there was a twist aswell. The twist was that there were 2 boys and 2 girls instead of 1 of each. (Twice as many tributes). Haymitch was actually a strong boy, and won a fight against 3 other dudes, with just a little help from a girl to kill the last one. They then became friends and stayed together until they went their own ways. Then the girl died, and Haymitch won in a clever way the games did not want him to know, by using the 'edge' forcefield in the arena to rebound an axe being throwed at him, leading him to winning. Then because the games were angry, his girlfriend and family got killed for his 'cleverness'.

They are full of rage, anger, revenge (rightfully so) and together they will just feel bitter and be miserable, traumatized. I somehow understood finally. Because peeta is just gentle, he has hope and he also makes u feel hope that there is kindness, tenderness, and that is what katniss needs. Not more hatred

    But for real. Catching Fire is so relevant and iconic today. Fun book fact: when Katniss goes to the arena and finds herself surrounded by water, it's a subtle metaphor for the Capital trying to extinguish her "fire." I think she straight up says in the book: "This is no place for a girl on fire."

      It’s so well shot! I do think it goes over the heads of viewers who haven’t read the books though that this is an arena that favors players like Finnick who grew up in a coastal/fishing district and is a Capitol favorite and Katniss *should* be at a disadvantage and not know how to swim, just like Peeta doesn’t know how. Just like with using a bow, her dad secretly taught her in a lake outside the boundary fence of Dist. 12.

    14:27 I'm gonna level with you here:
    Of all the characters, Effie has the most development.
    Exhibit A: Look at her outfit. In the first movie and most of this one, it was all powdered faces, metallic lipstick and outlandish outfits.
    Here, it's just a simple butterfly dress with natural looking makeup.
    Because THAT'S the influence Katniss and Peeta had on her. Touring with them made her come around to actually LIKING them, not just for the sake of her job.
    Exhibit B: The look on her face. Before she was more than happy to announce the tributes. Now? She's crushed, because this is the first time the tribute is someone she cares about.
    So much development in these two movies alone.

      so few reactors actually understand how integral Peeta is to his and Katniss' survival. haymitch says as much as soon as they arrive in the capital: Peeta knows what he's doing. Peeta is an incredibly intelligent political player and his understanding of how the world works and how to manipulate it while still staying true to himself is what makes his arc so tragic (won't say anymore because of spoilers). I partly blame the movies for this, since they could have been a bit more on the nose with how smart Peeta is and they definitely should've kept the fact that he lost his leg in the first games since it explains why he had issues with running and stuff, since the second movie just makes him feel kind of useless instead of there being an actual reason why can't do certain things. I get so angry when I watch a reaction where someone calls Peeta useless as if he isn't the reason they're both alive in the first place

    honestly I think the greates victims of the capitol were the careers. Cato and Clove but even more so Cashmere and Gloss. In the books it is explained that after he won he refused to work as a prostitute for the capitol (something the victors were forced to do) and as a punishment they orchestrated it so that his sister would get reaped. It backfired because he was her mentor and she was the crowd favorite because everyone wanted consecutive family wins. So in the arena she hunted down all the other tributes and the next morning she was crowned as a victor. The capitol disliked it that they still refused to cooperate so the two of them were reaped again for the third quarterquell (I’m not sure if one volunteered though). And well you see that they both died there. I’m just glad that they died pretty soon after one another. In my opinion their story is one of the most tragic ones in the hunger games.

    Catching Fire was both my favorite book and movie of the series as many others have said. It has a very similar plotline to the first (which is a good thing imo) but with significantly increased stakes and far more plot twists. Mockingjay is great and all, but without spoiling much, is quite different than the first 2. Catching Fire is the ultimate Hunger Games experience to me.

    Peeta is also more sarcastic in the books. They showed a little bit of it in this movie but in the books he's pretty witty.

    10:31 The Peacekeepers are destroying the black market. The Capitol is supposed to control everything but the previous leader of the Peacekeepers in District 12 turned a blind eye to illegal trading.
    19:43 I'm so glad you realised Peeta painted Rue. So many people don't realise that and think the Capitol did it to taunt her. It was Peeta's protest against the Capitol, and in the books the Capitol had it covered before Katniss entered - obviously they would try to prevent dissent at all costs, no need to spread the spark of rebellion.
    29:19 The hovercrafts collect the bodies, drop the airdrops, hold television screens up in the books. They were in the first book but were never shown in the first movie. In the books they have a cloaking device making them basically invisible and are very quiet.
    31:34 Jabberjays have a really cool backstory - don't read on if you don't want book spoilers... Jabberjays are genetically engineered male mockingbirds that the Capitol designed to eavesdrop and steal verbal intel from the rebels in the war 75 years ago. Eventually the rebels of the Districts realised how the jabberjays were being used and exploited that by sending them back false information to the Capitol. Humiliated, the Capitol abandoned the jabberjays once it became clear they weren't working anymore and left them to die out. However the jabberjays survived in the wild and bred with the wild female mockingbird population that gave rise to the birds known as mockingjays today. The offspring mockingjays didn't retain all of the genetic modifications - they lost the ability to use human voices and words but kept the ability to copy sounds and play it back in birdsong as we see the mockingjays doing in the first movie. The mockingjay's existence is a constant mocking reminder to the Capitol of how they messed up and this is why it's a great symbol for Katniss to adopt.

    LOL I'm glad you came around with the Katniss/Peeta ship. Their relationship's one of my faves in all the series I've read and seen. Forever one of my OTPs!

    I always wished they went into Haymitch’s time in the games.
