I forgot to mention… Peeta ended up with a prosthetic leg out of the first game. They couldn’t save it. So. At the end of the game when the finale was forced. Peeta almost didn’t make it on top of the cornucopia… also… when Cato was being thrashed by the Capitals mutts… Katniss is left with one arrow. And she had to use it to secure the tourniquet on Peetas leg… if she removes it to put Cato out of his misery, Peeta could bleed to death.. but they gnawed on him all night.. Peeta and Katniss thought it would be fast. But it was a slow death because of all that body armor he had on. At last she took the arrow from Peetas leg and used it on Cato
The books were much darker, one example those bear dog things, In the book it goes into detail that they looked in the faces like the fallen contestants, so they used their bodies to make those creatures, and their snouts were modified to bite in the most painful way, BUT in a way where they would kill u and rip you up SLOWLY so u died slower and suffered more.
Haymitch’s story is so sad but at this point the most relevant element is to consider that he has been forced to mentor two kids every year for a long time, and he is the mentor because he is the only District 12 Victor around. He was made to kill a lot of people to survive the arena. After that experience, he was forced to get to know a lot of innocent kids before watching them all get murdered.
Woah! I wish he got more time to tell his story! Someone else mentioned he gets dragged back to mentor every year! Which is wild... he won he should be left alone!! But wow yeah i never thought that he meets then year after year and they die!! Crazyyy
@@TReacts.youll learn more in the second movie not specifically about haymitch but about why his games was special. His was the 50th games a quarter quell (special games every 25 years)
I'm so glad you understood the flashbacks! A lot of reactors think that Peeta was disrespecting or demeaning Katnis by throwing it to her instead of bringing it to her. In the book it makes it clearer that he was being watched by his mother and throwing it was all he could do. He still knew he would get beat for it and did it anyway. Katniss ties this moment back to her and her families' survival, because they were starving after her father died and this bread gave her the energy and time she needed to figure out what to do.
If people pay attention to his expression u can see he means well and has sympathy for her! But i suppose because of the rain people would take it as a negative? I saw it as a gesture of kindness none the less!! Thanks for sharing :)
People also seem to forget Peeta was like eleven when this happened, so angering an abusing parent at that age is a big deal. I understand that movie-goers don't get that though since they look the same age. They really should have had child actors do that scene but I assume they felt people would be less likely to understand what is going on.
I think the makers of the movies portrayed it pretty badly (or else it's hard to do, I really don't know!), but at the point where Peter throws the bread to Katniss, she and her sister were close to starvation. So she must have been relatively thin by then and the actress is anything but near starvation (not a negative statement, she's beautiful!)
Getting a score of 11 was a mixed blessing. It helps her with sponsors but it also put a big target on her back with the other tributes. The careers went after her because they recognized her as a threat. A note about Haymitch: He won the 50th Hunger Games and has had to mentor more than 20 pairs of tributes since then. Every year, he has to do this. Every year, they died. There’s more tragedy to his story. It’s no wonder he is a cynical alcoholic.
yeah i thought it's kinda dangerous because she will be a big target!! WHAT 20 years of that... that's insane he won he should be left alone!! oh my gosh makes so much sense now! thanks for the insight, hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
@@TReacts.also. Next movie you learn that before Katniss and peeta, there were no other winners from district 12, only Haymitch. That means every single tribute he mentored passed every single year. That to me explains his character
When I watch reactions, a lot of people hate Cato and the other more sadistic Tributes and root for their deaths, and that always makes me really appreciate what Susanne Collins did when she wrote these books. At the start, everyone watching the movie is talking about how crazy/sick it is that children are being selected for a fight to the death, how disturbing it is that everyone watches the broadcast at all times, placing bets and being invested etc. By the time Glimmer is dead, a lot of reactors say that they do not feel bad for her. Because she's a bad person, and hellbent on killing, and she's a murderer, right? But she's a kid - one of the kids in the richer Districts that is raised from birth to expect death, to train to kill, to entertain the masses with murdering other children. Their parents enrol them in that training before the children have a chance to start thinking rationally. Glimmer, Cato, that little group is 100% a product of the world the Capitol has built, where this is normal. If you were raised that way, I honestly believe there are two options - you either wouldn't have survived to this point (truly wouldn't a child go insane), or you lean into the madness to survive. That's life for the kids in the higher Districts. In the lower Districts, there is no money, no training to fight and barely an education, no nutritious food, no medicine - every day is a struggle. The children are desperate, raised for slaughter at the hands of the richer kids in the Games (99% of the time, that's the outcome). I think the book and the movie replicate the experience really well - when someone starts to root for who should live, and who should die. You stop paying attention to the fact that none of these kids should be in this situation at all. Panem.
FACTS! I see that, if u take a moment to think deeply about why they are like that then yes! they really know no different, that's crazyyyy! This cycle needs to stop i hope we see some sort of change in the coming films because i cannot bare to watch more of this!! Need to stop these games!!!
That's also why I love the impact that Cato has in the end. He was always dead, he just didn't know it. As in he figured out that he was always raised to die, not to live a life of honor, like he had thought before. The Capitol he looked up to wasn't what he thought it was. But killing is the only thing he can do so he still try to do that. And of course its even more pronounced in the books.
And that’s one of the principal themes of the second book, “remember who the real enemy is”. It’s not the other tributes, it’s the capitol that has put them all in this situation.
i always found cato’s “i’m dead anyway” line so heart wrenching. you can hate these children all you want, but none of them wanted to die, half of them believed if they lived they’d bring “honor” to their districts somehow, and the other half knew that winning meant a lifetime of the capitol up their ass, including possible forced prostitution because many of the past victors were forced into it. cato is a product of his environment, and i truly believed he knew if he survived, he wouldn’t be “happy” ever. he knew what was waiting for him if he lived, he knew the victor life was not sunshine and rainbows, it was a cesspool of vermin constantly watching you even in your private time. i feel like cato had accepted his place as a capitol “pet” if he was to be the victor. he was already desensitized to the idea of his life not being his own
The dogs in the book are even scarier because Katniss realizes that they look to human, with human features that she finds familiar. So they were either made with the DNA of the fallen tributes, or they were literally made from their corpses (which is highly likely given the fact that once you enter the Hunger Games, they basically own you, and so when you die, they can do whatever they want with your body).
oh my god that is VILE! But doesn't shock me after all they have done! These details are so horrific but so fascinating, would have never thought of that so creative!! Thanks for watching :)
They took the eyes of the tribute and put them in the dogs eyes. I don't think it says anything about their other features being similar, but it was a while since I read the books. I remember her seeing Rue's eyes on the dog.
@@Leffelinithe mutts have the same color eyes, the fur is the same colour as their hair, they have tags that show their district and the vary in size. for example rues mutt was very small and threshs mutt was big and jumped very high
I don't know if you'll see this, but there is only one thing that has always bugged me about this movie. In the book, when Clove dies (the girl from District 2 who was killed by Thresh) she yells for Cato and Katniss can hear him calling back but he sounds too far away to actually be able to help her. There's then beats her head with a rock, and she doesn't die instantly like in the movie. Cato finds her on the ground after she gets hit and she's dying. He holds her and tells her that's she's okay, basically begging her to stay alive. I always thought that that scene shows how human even the kids from District 1&2 are. They're all just kids forced to live in that awful world. Like how Clove was going to kill Katniss the way she was planning in order to give the capital a good show and get more sponsors.
Effie just makes me so sad shes so brainwashed since little, all the capitol people is mostly, but she is sweet just oblivious to the situation, she sees it as a show
Rue’s death is a major tipping point as Katniss’ actions in laying her to rest are respectful and normal to any human being watching the movie, but in the world of the film it is a political act (not deliberate on Katniss’ part) because it HUMANISES the child. Normally the dead kid is carried away by a drone. But to see her there, with flowers and love - a funeral - it wakes people up. It tells them that yes, the pain in their heart and the thought that this death is WRONG is the right thing to be feeling. And so, riots. Normally they don’t. Everyone is numb to these losses at this point. Rue and Katniss change that. The Capitol uses the children of its citizens to control the population. It’s twisted by design. You want to rebel? Look what happens to 24 of your children every year. Well, what if we did it to all of them? They manipulate hope and condition the people to live in fear from a young age.
They really do run in fear! But it's totally understandable! The capitol is a scary gang! I'm thinking these films will get political which would be a really fascinating approach! Thank you so much for all your comments i've loved hearing what you have to say! Thanks so much :)
I wouldn't say they are numb to it, but they are scared as you say. It comes to a point when they are less scared and cowed than they are angry (even if its not Rue's district that is the first to start riots in the books) and hurt. In the books its described as a chore they have to do, to watch the games, and even if you distance yourself to it it doesn't feel like people are numb (I read numb as not caring here, if you meant something else we might totally agree :D ). They have endured this for three-ish generations - that pent up anger is being unleashed.
so real also, back in the early games, the parents of tributes used to put their kids in their "sunday best" for the games. these were often hand-embroidered with flowers, animals etc.. there's a theory that the capitol switched to tribute uniforms to further dehumanise them, so they wouldn't be seen as innocent children in the eyes of the capitol
i’ve always loved thresh in the book and in the movie. in the book the career districts (1&2) tried to recruit him for an alliance but he refused, and he refused to banter with caesar flickerman, only giving him yes or no answers. he stuck to himself the entirety of the games, only staying in a wheat field because thats what he knew and thats what his district does, agriculture. even during the feast when he goes to retrieve his backpack the only reason why he kills clove is because i thought what she was doing to katniss, tormenting her and cutting her slowly, was how rue went. the thought of a child, especially rue who was greatly loved in district 11, being tortured to death was the only thing to make him harm someone else. after he learns what katniss did for rue he not only spares her life, but takes cato’s bag so that he would go after him and not katniss. i truly think that he was a gentle giant (since in the book katniss describes him as 6’6 and built like an ox) forced to hurt people and thats why he stuck to himself so often. truly an amazing young man and his death brings me to tears every time. so does rue, she was the same age and height as prim which is why katniss felt like she couldn’t leave her to be alone in the arena. she also resembles a bird in the books, according to katniss, another similarity between the too because katniss would always call prim “little duck” because of her clothes tendency to form a duck tail in the back. rues mockingjay song is the song she would sing in her district to let everyone know they could go home since she was usually high up in the trees and could see the flags signifying quitting time before anyone else. her dialogue in the book is heartbreaking too because it really hits home that shes only a child. she said the mockingjays were her special friends, that shes fast, “if they cant catch me they cant kill me so don’t count me out” literally crying its HORRIFIC
they are 2 great characters! So many layers and we learn so much about them even tho we are only with them briefly!! So generous and kind! Thank you for sharing, and thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
Katniss essentially sacrificed herself for Prim when she volunteered - she had no way to know she would win. When Katniss paired up with Rue, she saw Prim in her - Katniss would never have killed Rue at the end if they both made it. Katniss would have died so Rue got out.
Yeah she really did! Especially how I learnt the higher districts win almost EVERY year! She really went in with low chances! Yeah i agree im sure she would've had Rue win :)
You are in for quite the experience. Welcome to the Hunger Games. People always think this story is some silly teen “girl Power with a bow” movie but it is not. It is an incredible story that is quite important and is quite spooky because it parallels real life in a way.
Absolutely it parallels life! People in power have power to do crazy things and it's scary!! The plot is incredible but as you say there's so much meaning underneath and resemblance to life!! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
The number of times a kids name is entered for the reaping increases as they get older (once at 12, twice at 13, and so on). They also are able (or kind of have to) enter their name more times for government provided food supplies. That’s why Gales name was in so many times (food for his siblings and his age).
WHAT that is ridiculous!! What is the point of that... my gosh they have too much power, this needs to end!! Thanks for watching and for the insight :)
Rue gets me every single time, especially with Katniss' screaming being silenced. Such a great decision and incredibly impactful. Then Thresh saving and sparing her. This movie was great, but each one just gets better and better.
In the book obviously you get to hear a lot more of Katniss's thoughts, and that scene where that one girl is lighting a fire you literally read Katniss thinking about how dumb that girl is. Which is honestly funnier than it should be. (Katniss's inner thoughts in the books are sassy af)
But she also have her sleeping-bag which keeps heat in and cold out. And when she loose it and she have to sleep without it she thinks back to that fire and understands that someone would lite a fire considering how cold it is without it. It's a nice moment of her realizing she has way more training than the other kids and one of the few moments she allow herself to feel empathy them. If you wonder why you don't learn most of the tributes names in the movie, its not only because they are "background characters and who cares", but its because Katniss doesn't want to learn their name because that would make it harder for her to kill them. So her being "sassy" against the other is a coping-mechanism for her.
There are so many crazy things that happened in the books that wasn't shown in the movies but I think one of the biggest things they left out was that Peeta lost his leg in the fight with the dogs
Oh interesting! Surprised the higher districts didn't get over 10s then! Would have loved to have seen their performances!! Thank you so much for watching :)
@@TReacts.in the books, her getting an 11 was to make her a target to the other tributes. That’s why they gave her the highest mark ever. It was a punishment for her behaviour and the Apple.
Every reactor wants Katniss to grab all the bags. If she did that, every living tribute would have chased her. They all need what’s in those bags to survive, so she would have forced their hand by taking their bags. Thresh took two bags (11 and 2) after killing Clove because he wanted Cato to come looking for him, a bold move to change the game and win sponsors. Clove was trying to get sponsors too, appealing to more bloodthirsty viewers by drawing out the death of the highest scoring tribute. Katniss couldn’t stay in that cave because she would have lost the support of the sponsors invested in the love story. Many tributes die trying to please sponsors, some winning by doing terrible things for them, only to learn what happens to popular victors (not really a spoiler, but not mentioned yet): They essentially become Capitol escorts, those sponsors wanting special treatment for their investment. If a victor refuses? Their loved ones are killed. Once you’re reaped, you die in that arena or you spend the rest of your days doing awful things to survive.
oh my gosh that is so tragic!! They really sign away their life no matter what!! So curious to see how the next one pans out, watching them be controlled is going to be horrendous! Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoyed :)
Also the capital could have punished her for trying to take everyone else's bag. They can blow you up on the spot if they want to and think you don't deserve to win (in Katniss case its even more likely). The reason they didn't in the end with the berries was panic to not have any victors at all.
In the books Katniss also loses her hearing in her left ear from the mine explosion. She had it repaired after she won. She didn't go to Rue right away because she couldn't, her ear injury was too much so she slept concealed by bushes and found her the next day. She also very nearly died from dehydration because she couldn't find clean water. And, the knife wound on her head nearly killed her - Peeta found her collapsed in the cave in a pool of blood.
just in time for the ballad of songbirds and snakesss also i wanna say, rue was known by everyone one in district 11. during the harvest she is always high in the trees and is the first one to see the flag that signals the end of the work day. so then she sings her little song and the mockingjays spread her song throughout the orchard, letting everyone know they can go home and not to overwork. i can only imagine how devastating it must have been that the sweet little girl everyone knows got reaped. and since rue so fond of mockingjays, seeing katniss wear a mockingjay pin made her decide she can trust her and i get so sad when i think about how after rue gets reaped, she would be forced to watch the reapings of the other districts. and then she would see a girl who looks about her age, prim. except unlike rue, prim has someone who protects her. someone who can save her from this nightmare ☹️☹️☹️
i think something that not many people realize about the districts is that even though the “richer” districts are better off than the outlying districts are, they are still VERY poor. they are still struggling. they are nowhere near as rich as the capitol and a lot of people act like they are and it really bothers me because those aren’t some snobby rich kids, they are kids who struggle to survive but just have a better chance of it than the outer districts
also not everyone in the capitol is uber rich, they all act like they are but there are many people who are dirt poor. snow was when he grew up (which makes the fact that he STILL puts ppl in the districts in the same situation that he was in even worse) and the people in the capitol are just so heavily propagandized that they think they need to act like they are super wealthy. it all serves to drive a wedge between the people of the capitol and the people in the districts even more than there already is (so that it will be harder to rebel)
i noticed this whilst watching mockingjay part one! where we see district 8 and 7... they look just as rough as 12!! Crazy how it's are to seem they're so well off! Thanks for sharing :)
Out of everyone I’ve seen react to this movie, you’re the only one who’s noticed Peeta pointing to his hand during the fight with Cato. It’s one of my FAVORITE small details from Peeta in the movie. I love watching them work as a team
@@TReacts. it’s so subtle that i feel people think Katniss just made a good shot since there was so much going on. But she still tried to not kill him if she didn’t have to! Only when he was being attacked by the mutts did she do a mercy killing. Ugh such a good series. Chefs kiss
They cut from the movie that Peeta actually lost his leg from the injury in the games. The healing salve wasn’t so miraculous and they had to amputate after.
It’s important to remember to think of his limits with a newly amputated leg in the following movies! They had to keep the impacts of the injury in for storylines purposes but because they cut the cause - many movie watchers thought he was clumsy or weak or that people were concerned about him for no real reason!
To be fair, peeta didn’t lose his leg from that cut. He didn’t get a healing salve, he was moreso dying from blood poisoning so he got an injection that helped. He lost his leg because after that when the dog mutts came and he was trying to climb the cornucopia, one of them jumped up and bit his leg so he was bleeding badly most of the time during the Cato fight. I think it was Katniss right tourniquet that was on for hours because Cato took all night to die was what made peeta have to have his leg amputated
16:28 peeta threw that bread and basically saved Katniss. She was starving to death because her mom was depressed and didn’t care for her children after the husband passed.. peeta saved katniss
@@TReacts. he is THE best character out there. Alongside with someone special you will get to know in the next movie. I’m excited for these future reactions.. it’s a WILD ride but each movie gets better
@@violeta8445I gathered they are childhood friends and maybe something will happen with them? the way he looked after she kissed peeta seemed like hurt??
Hey dude this is the first video I'm seeing from you and safe to say you immediately became one of my favourite reactors! You're so insightful, really seem to pay attention to the story and understand it, you feel for the characters and can put yourself in their shoes, express your feelings openly which is awesome to see as a viewer. Some reactors also just pretty much sit there and laugh occasionally but you give us actual commentary, talk us through the thing, give your own thoughs etc and I think that's really cool:) hoping to see you do more movie reactions after this series and hope you enjoy your Hunger Games journey! Your channel will grow to be something great:D
oh my goodness! That is soooo kind of you, lovely to hear! Really made my day!! Soooo glad you enjoyed! I filmed a reaction to catching fire, and wow... what a masterpiece!! Hope to see you there ;)
I just noticed how helpful the scene with Seneca and Snow is in establishing their dynamic. Snow doesn't directly control Seneca's moves, but makes it clear he disapproves of Katniss's score while Seneca is more light-hearted and dismissive thinking it's not a big deal. Then later on when Seneca is locked in the room with the berries, the audience is able to pick up that Seneca screwed up in Snow's eyes by letting them live and that this is the consequence using that context. I know that's probably a "well, duh" observation but I didn't really think about the deliberate choices they made for the viewers who hadn't read the books and therefore needed the movies to establish character relationships
I don't understand why the movie made the mockingjay pin a secret. In the book it was her token. All the tributes are allowed to bring a token into the games. It's something from home. The tokens are examined by the capitol to make sure they can't influence the results of the game. I think if I'm remembering correctly one of the tributes had their token confiscated because it had a secret needle that could inject poison. Anywho, the point I'm trying to make is the mockingjay pin was not a secret.
That's what i was thinking! If they found out she snuck that in there would be consequences!! But that's makes sense that they're all allowed! Thanks so much for watching and sharing :)
When I saw it first I thought it was Cinna saying "don't say anything. Youve got this, girl on fire" without words. But lots of reactors think he snuck the pin in. Glimmer from 1 tried to bring a token of a ring that turned into a weapon. And she claimed she had no idea. These books are my favourite ❤
I feel I can say this without ANY risk of a spoiler… they left out a character. Her name is Madge Undersee… she is the mayors daughter. She is Katniss’s best friend. Maybe only friend… in school. She is the one that gives Katniss the Mockingjay pendant… she begged her to wear it into the arena…it was her Aunties… turns out her aunt was Maysilee Donner… best friend to Karniss’s mom.. and she also ended up in the second quarter quell… with Haymitch… sad story ..
@@TReacts.honestly… ur reaction was so genuine!! I loved it!! I can’t wait till you watch the next ones. I remember not being able to put the books down.. Also.. worth noting … when Katniss was saying her goodbyes to everyone … that is when Madge came in and gave her the pendant.. but they also left out the part where Peeta’s dad came in to say goodbye to her and he brought her some chocolate chip cookies. They sat there in silence and as he got up to leave … all he said was he would make sure Prim was taken care of ……also… Katniss and Gale met when she was 12 and he was 14… they were not instant friends. Not even close.. Their fathers both died in the same mine explosion…Suzanne Collins is a genius.. this was kinda modeled after the Roman Colosseum.. and the gladiators fighting to the death. “Bread and Circuses”. In Latin it’s “Panem et circenses”. Food and entertainment… superficial appeasement. Even Gale says it .. “all they want is a good show Katniss”.
@@dammitmandy1166 awh thank you so much!!! No wayyy omgosh shame they left that out! Omgosh what peeta dad said about prim... the thought just have me chills thats so sweet!!! Thanks so much :)
Great reaction! ❤️ I remember reading the hunger games, and the dog/bear creatures that the capitol created for the ending, were even more terrifying and disturbing in the book. Katniss saw immediately that each creature had very identifying characteristics of all the dead tributes. I remember she said she made eye contact with one of them and she immediately knew it was Rue because they had the same eyes.😢 Can’t wait for you to react to the rest!
In the books Cato's death is much longer, Katniss doesn't put him out of hiis misery till almost daylight. They [Katniss and Peeta] thought that the mutts would finish him off quickly, but they just maul him and Katniss and Peeta just stay on top of the Cornicopia, hugging in shock, listening to him wail until it becomes too much.
I loved your reaction. It seems like you went into this knowing very little about the plot so it was a joy to see you watch it with fresh eyes. I hope you continue this series. Bring tissues.
Ah thank you so muchhhh that is so kind!! I had the feeling it would be brutal but wasn't expecting to jump out of my skin a few times ahahah but yes was so fun going in blind, i'm keen to follow the rest :)
For those of you that don't know....the "dogs" were just the other tributes genetically modified to look like that. The book calls out that Katniss looked into one's eyes and saw Rue's eyes staring back at her. Makes that bit all the more worse
I think Effie was raised to watch a show and that's where she got a job from. Effie wanted to keep her job because she needed it. She saw an opportunity to share fashion and glamour with people who were less priviledged even tho for a short time. Effie also didn't have another way to bring cheer to a su!c!de mission so she decided to be the cheer. Lightening the mood in what way she could - without openly judging the Hunger Games. She wanted to keep her job... She was nice to the children, the tributes..
@@TReacts. Its my opinion tho. Sometimes I rewatch movies a lot and try to figure why the characters act a certain way and the surroundings etc. But it might differ from what the author thinks of Effie. I need to reread the books. 🤔🤩
So glad you enjoyed this so much! And if you loved this first one, I can't wait to see you experience the next three - they somehow get even better. :)
This is true. I hadn't watched them in ages, and read all three books after I saw the first movie in theaters. But recently I rewatched them and found out the second movie is better than the first. At least in my opinion.
38:29 what happened to him is that after Katniss's tracker jacker attack, she was hallucinating. Cato was coming back to kill her. Peeta also came back and fought Cato to allow her to get away. Cato cut him in the leg with his sword.
Loved your reaction. You were one of the few reactors I felt like really caught on to how sweet and smart Peeta is like with the pointing at the end and the bread. Interesting detail from the book: Katniss had to drug Peeta with sleeping syrup (forcefully choking it down his throat) so she could go to the “feast”because he refused to let her risk herself for him
Awh, thank you so much! I feel Peeta is underrated!! He deserves so much more recognition, he really grew on me! Im loving these details from the books, so much was missed! Of course that would happen but there's so many answers to all the questions I have! Thanks for watching :)
I love watching people react to this movie series -- Catching Fire is my favorite in the movies. It's so excellent though - excited to see you continue!!
Okay, I haven't seen anyone else. Comment this. But I wanted to clarify one thing. Thresh wasn't killed by the dogs. He was actually killed by Cato in revenge for killing Clove and taking the district too bad from the feast. And that is why Csto was so bloodied, because he just came out of a very difficult fight with Thresh fighting the dogs and then finally facing katniss. Also little extra tidbit, the scene where they are about to eat the berries because they won't kill each other, It's slightly different in the books. They actually manage to get the berries in their mouth and then have to spit them out before they actually swallow them.
Great reaction! When you said you had heard that the movie was about teenagers fighting for a *prize* I thought you were in for a rude awakening 😂 I'm glad you liked it though ❤ Looking forward to your reactions to the next ones 😊
Haymitch won the 50th Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta are competing in the 74th Hunger Games and no one has won from District 12 since Haymitch, so he’s feeling pretty hopeless and depressed when we meet him. No surprise he turned to alcohol to cope in the meantime. Haymitch has been forced to watch kids he’s mentoring be killed again and again for 24 years, so I imagine he’s trying not to get too attached to Katniss and Peeta. However, it’s suggested Katniss was the first Tribute from his District he thought he could genuinely help and get back home. Also, every 25 years the Capitol holds something called a ‘Quarter Quell’ which adds an extra stipulation to the Games. In the 25th Hunger Games the Districts were forced to vote for who would compete in the Games rather than it being chosen in a lottery, “as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence” and in the 50th Games there were double the amount of Tributes, 2 boys and 2 girls from every District, “as a reminder that two rebels died for each Capitol citizen” which was the Games Haymitch competed in and won. So his Games were particularly brutal, so yeah, he’s not doing great. It’s also really rare for people in the poorer Districts to volunteer, so Katniss really stood out at the time. She was just trying to save her sister and had no idea she’d win. It’s suggested in the books Snow gave Katniss a high score of ‘11’, not because of her skill in the evaluation but as a way to punish her. By giving her such a high score Snow put a target on her back, which made the Careers band up and try to take her out as soon as possible. Katniss would also never hurt Rue, she’s a kid, and as an older sister everything in her is screaming to protect Rue. In the books, Katniss really grows to like Rue and thinks if she tries hard enough maybe Rue could win. But when Rue dies we see how devastating it is. How unfair. It could have easily been Prim laying there dead if Katniss didn’t volunteer, so Katniss loses it. Just cries and cries, and lays flowers down for her, attempting to give her some type of funeral before the hover craft takes Rue away. When the Capitol Citizens see it, they’re upset, and when District 11 see it, Rue’s home, they’re angry and begin to revolt. It’s suggested the man who starts the riot in District 11 is Rue’s father too.
Woah! Thanks so much for all taht insight! That is so cool to know!! I never really thought of how big of a target she would be because of the high score!! Thanks so much for watching! I have filmed a reaction to catching fire, loved it sooo much!!
This is no spoiler, because sadly it is never said in the movies.......One major thing about the first movie, what bothers me, is the Mockingjay Pin. They changed it for the movie and in doing this, they changed the ENTIRE meaning of the symbol and its backstory. Katniss does NOT "find" it at the black market. Nor does Cinner have to give it to her in secret.(because the plot of the first book is about Katniss wearing it openly) In the books, After the reaping, a girl called Magde Undersees (Katniss´s only friend in Distrikt 12) gives her the pin. Its a family token and belonged to her aunt Maysilee Donner. Maysilee was reaped at age 16, to fight in the games. She wore the Pin as a lucky charm. (Because every tribute is allowed to have one token from home. The pin passed all the tests. But a "family ring" of the Distrikt 2 girl fails, because the gamemakers find out about its poisened content and therefor beeing a weapon.) Sadly Maysilee died in the games and the pin was given to her sister, Madges mom. Who since then is living a life of pain and depression. Its also revealed (in the second book) that Katniss´s mom and Maysilee been best friends.
Oh wow! That's very insightful!! I wonder why they changed that?? If there's any particular reason?? Thanks for watching, I have just posted my reaction to catching fire if u fancy it ;)
First off, I love and covet your hair. Second, LOVED this reaction! You were insightful and observant, which was awesome to watch :D Third, as far as book adaptations go, The Hunger Games movies are pretty faithful! But a couple things were changed/omitted details I feel worth mentioning, so I shall: - The time span. The movies obviously had to cut out a lot, so it may seem not that much time was spent in the Games, but in the books, they lasted weeks upon weeks upon weeks. Katniss' friendship with Rue lasted a couple weeks minimum, and they not only bonded, but learned more about each other's Districts. Communication is very restricted between Districts, and Katniss is surprised to hear that Rue, coming from the agriculture District, doesn't get to eat any of the food they cultivate. - District 11 had pooled together their money to buy Rue a loaf of bread, but when she died, rather than pulling the sponsor gift, they had it sent to Katniss instead. This was the first time ever that a District gave a gift to a tribute from another District. Katniss recognizes the bread as District 11's (bc Peeta showed her earlier) and that's when she gives the 3-fingered salute. (Btw, this salute is said to be a symbol of honor, of respect, of saying goodbye to someone you love.) - Gale's comment at the start that "If no one watches, they don't have a game" is different from the books, cause in there, the districts are FORCED to watch. Students get days off from school for the big events, people gather in the squares surrounded by Peacekeepers, etc. It's not as simple as "stop watching" because it's a systemic injustice, not one the populace can simply refuse to take part in. - The parachutes. I have two gripes with the parachutes, one of which is a minor nitpick and the other irks me (though I get it bc movie). Nitpick: WHY DO THEY BEEP??? I'm sorry, if they BEEPED like that in the Games, YOUR OPPONENTS WOULD HEAR IT AND KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. WHAT THE HECK! WHY DID THEY ADD THIS?? XD Actual gripe: in the books, Mentors were NOT allowed to put notes in the sponsor gifts. I mean... duh. They have outside info. They're not allowed to give hints! In the books, it's extra special because Katniss has to put together what hidden messages Haymitch is sending her, such as connecting the broth to the kiss and knowing she has to amp up the romance. - On the roof, when Peeta contemplates wanting to still be himself when he dies, Katniss says, "I just can't afford to think like that." HOWEVER, in the books, when he asks if that makes sense, she says no, and thinks to herself "how could you possibly die as anyone else?" It takes her a while to understand him, highlighting a key difference in their characters. - The mutts. I'm not a fan of how the movies made the Capitol able to just. Summon them into being. But regardless, in the books, Katniss notes that the mutts look like each of the fallen tributes, with collars depicting their district number. She even wonders in horror if they used the dead bodies' real eyes and put them in the mutts. She stares into Rue's. - This is a BIG one!! When they announce 2 victors can win, in the movies Katniss says "Peeta..." softly. In the books, she screams "PEETA!!" and slaps her hand over her mouth, berating herself for the stupidity of yelling. Later, when watching back the highlight reel on Ceasar's show, that moment is used to answer Ceasar's question of when Katniss realized her feelings for him. The books make it clear that it was an act first and foremost, but at times Katniss wasn't sure whether she was entirely acting. - The bread. This memory is interspersed but a lot of people who haven't read the books don't grasp what happened. Katniss and her family were starving to death, she'd yet to learn to hunt, and she collapsed outside Peeta's house. Seeing her after getting beat by his mother for burning bread he then gave to the pigs, he goes back inside and intentionally burns more bread, taking a beating so he can toss Katniss the bread. That saved her family. That bread kept her alive long enough to see their next meal. - In the books, Katniss goes deaf/permanent hearing loss in one ear after exploding the supplies, and Peeta is left with an amputated leg, replaced by a prosthetic. Not sure why they removed this, as it's pretty important, but I digress. - One kiss, Katniss feels different. "This is the first kiss that leaves me wanting more." She muses that "I thought I knew everything there is to know about hunger. But this is an entirely new kind." - Drugging Peeta. In the books, Peeta REFUSES to let Katniss go get his medicine by vowing to drag himself after her yelling and screaming, so he'll be killed if she tries. Not knowing what to do, Katniss is surprised by a parachute with a sickly sweet substance. Then it clicks: this is a sleeping drug. She spoon-feeds it to Peeta, who comments it's familiar, but it isn't until he begins to drift off that his eyes widen in realization of what she's just done. - At the end when the 2 victors rule is revoked, Katniss immediately pulled the bow on him, only to see him with hands up. Not a huge change in the movies, but yeah. She was prepared to kill him. There's a ton more but I'll stop myself XD Can't wait to see you react to the next one!!! These books were so pivotal for tween me, and adult me is astounded by how deep and dark and gritty they were. Anygay, see ya soon!
Hey hey!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Love learning all the details and comparisons to the books!! So fascinating! a lot of questions i had you just answered!! Love it! District 11 giving the bread to katniss melts my heart that's beautiful! And yesss!! I agree the dogs spawning from the ground was a bit off! Thanks again! And yes... i have now filmed a reaction to catching fire, and what a MOVIE! loved it so much!! Cant wait to chat in the comments and learn more about that one ;)
Yet another sad thing....The girl who died eating the poison berries was the same girl you saw matching all of the plants and things in training. She knew it was poisonous. She ate it so she wouldn't have to die by anyone else's hand but her own, to escape the terror and horror of being in the games.
oh my goodness that is heartbreaking!!! the fact she couldn't go on anymore wow! i was wondering what happened there i was unsure if peeta killed her! But that makes sense now thank you! Hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
I don't think she knew they were poisonous; I believe she was studying the plants and berries, because she needed to brush up on her knowledge. Sadly, she ate the berries because she saw Peeta gathering them to eat, and assumed they were safe. Peeta also explains to Katniss that he assumed they were the same berries they'd eaten before in the arena (as they look similar), so he didn't know either, but thankfully he didn't eat any before Katniss got to him.
The hunger games is my Roman Empire, I swear I think about it every day. I think although it’s ultimately a fictional story it actually relates to so many aspects of our worlds history and even current affairs. There are so many lessons to be learned and so much inspiration to be taken from some characters. I have read all the books (except TBOSAS, going to wait for movie to come out first 🥳) and I have watched the movies an unhealthy amount of times. The thing I love about them is every time you watch you realise so many different small details you never had before. A character I loved in the first movie was fox face. I think she was so far ahead of the other tributes. I believe she made a conscious decision to eat the night lock to un-alive herself as she most likely realised she couldn’t bare life after winning with the guilt etc. So excited for the new movie to come out!
Hey hey!! It truly is a brilliant movie!! I'm so excited to continue i have now seen catching fire and WOWOWOWOW!! HAHAHAH the new film will be great too i'm sure! Fox face is a great character, so intelligent and i agree so far ahead of the other tributes! Wish she had more screen time!! Thanks for watching :)
@@TReacts. First time watching one of your vids and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole! 😂 Catching fire is the best so good, did you do a commentary video would love to see that!
2:49 it has to due with calculating how quickly the bird is moving, how quickly your arrow will move, the spot where it most likely to be flying, and where its gonna land. Bow hunting is quite complicated but quite fun and ive wanted to get my bow hunting license for 3 years now. 8:13 whenever i see that i always say "amazing bedside manner"
In the books during the Feast scene when Clove dies (girl with knives) Cato runs to her and begs her to stay with him. So mad they didnt include that in the film because it humanized the Careers. In the movie they just had Cato make a speech at the end which left less of an impact.
Also, the psychological warfare aspect in the books was toned down here. But in the books, the animals at the end had the faces of the tributes who had passed already, as an element of horror to mess with the heads of the survivors. Essentially, they're coming after you and you have to kill them again".
I wish you had more movie reactions on your channel, because they are an absolute treat to watch. You're both entertaining and empathetic, which are my favorite qualities in a reactor. Keep up the good work, my friend!
ah thank you so so much!!! you are too kind!!! slowly starting to get more movie reactions out!! they take some time to edit but for sure getting there! so grateful ❤️
I really enjoyed watching your reaction! I read the books before seeing the movie, including the new prequel movie, so it is so interesting to see it through fresh eyes. I have a lot of thoughts, sorry if this is long. There were moments I laughed, like when you said at the beginning you thought they fought for a prize, and other moments, like when you showed such genuine relief that Katniss found Rue in the net, that I was thinking "oh honey I'm so sorry you don't know whats coming," (but also not sorry, because the feels really make the experience). I was impressed by the details and unspoken impressions you picked up on, and you pointed things out that I've never noticed! I can't believe after all this time I never noticed that Peeta points to Cato's hand. I guess I was always looking at Cato's face. This comment section is great, I appreciate the way everyone is so kindly sharing the details that will add to your experience of the story without apoiling too much. I'm looking forward to pressing play on your reaction video to the sequel haha and I am so grateful for this resurgence for these amazing deeply layered stories, so I can notice more details and notice how different it feels to experience the story now as an adult instead of a teen. Turns out, even more upsetting. Feels even worse that they're kids than when I was also a kid.
Awh what a lovely comment! Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed! Cant wait to hear what you think of my other reactions! (And if I point anything else out for you ahaha - that's crazy!) Quite proud I found hidden gems, I loved the sequel so much! I have just filmed my mockingjay part two reaction and WOW..... just wow. hahaha look forward to chatting some more :)
You seem sweet… I’m sorry you’ve started this saga and already had to experience the emotional roller coaster of this first film. I think the saga permanently impacted my brain chemistry. Once you start you won’t be able to stop.
I loved this reaction, it's great seeing someone who is watching the series with fresh new eyes! Saw this come up on my related videos, had to click (and quickly subscribed, your reaction to Rue's passing reminded me of mine back then!) I'm sure a lot of the people in the comments would be happy to explain some things that feel ambiguous (aka not explicitly explained in the scene) in the movies which are better explained in the books! Good luck though, you're in for a rollercoaster of emotion, even I cry when I do rewatches!
Awh thank you so muchhhh!! That means so much to me, i'm thrilled you enjoyed!! I cannot wait to get into the next one!! But im also nervous HAHAHA thank you :)
“What in the Graham Norton is this?” 😂 When I saw this, I was almost certain Tucci got at least some of the inspiration for his performance from Norton.
My favourite Caesar moment is in catching fire after he interviews district 7 and after she is done ripping him a new one he says “well, one woman’s opinion” 😂😂😂
@@TReacts. we have a running joke in my family, anything ludicrous happens in the media and we started loudly singing Caesar’s entrance music, as it had no words it’s just bah bah BABABAAAHHH 😂
44:56 "Oh my gosh, there's literally 20 of them." And there were! 24 tributes, minus Katniss, Peeta and Cato (and Tresh, but he died so recently they wouldn't have made him a mutt yet) become 20 mutts. You knew!
I adore your glasses...so studious looking! I like your jumper as well. The Hunger Games shows just how far governments, especially those with a dictator will go to maintain power, and control. Peeta is just as impressive as Katniss just in a different way. I love his artistic talents, and his loyalty. Katniss for her bravery, and her honesty. Her sarcasm is on point as well. I love when Hammich tells Katniss about Peeta and him saying she was his crush..."HE made you look desirable!!!" Ru dying just gutted me, she was so young! The best thing they could be was witty in the Hunger Games, the better you are at surviving by your wits the better. The smart ones survive! You should watch all of them in this series up to at least Mockenjay 2....Great reactions!!!.....Brian
Ah thank you for the compliments Brian!! You are too kind!! It was very freaky to watch as this is a scary thought because of the realism!! Such great characters we can really gather who they are and they have so much depth!! I'd definitely love to see where this goes!! Thanks so much for watching :)
oh my that thought didn't even cross my mind even more so that they're keeping the wild life out, so that means any wild animal can come through and attack the people!! Scary scary!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing :)
I can’t wait to see your reactions to the other movies! I would also highly recommend reading the books too! They give so much more background and details!!!
Although I hated how silent the video was making it hard for those of with diminished hearing to hear, I LOVED your commentary. You noticed everything! You caught subtle hints that were told in the books but not spelled out in the movies. The only thing you didn't get was why no one took anyone else's district supplies, because then they would come after you. I will be watching all your reactions-I subscribed so fast. I hope you have done or will do reactions to Harry Potter/Maze runner/Divergent(only the first one)/Lucky number SLevin/ I-Robot/Just Go With it. I think you're great.
I'm 20 seconds in, I've paused the vidoe to make this comment. You energy is lovely! I already know I will absolutely love your channel! Can't wait for you to see the rest for the Hunger Games series.
I haven't seen anyone explain it yet. She was allowed to have her pin. Each tribute is allowed to have a token to represent them. It just can't be a weapon or laced with poison. It was an interesting film choice to make it a seem like a secret.
In the book, cano wears a suit that instantly heals you no matter what position your in, so the scene with him being eaten by the dogs (whom are made from the corpses of Fallen tributes) he is constantly being eaten then brought back healed. Katniss and Peeta don’t do anything for 24 hours, listening to him scream going through a cycle of torture until she finally shoots him.
Honestly, if there could have only been one Victor, and it could have been anyone, I would want Thresh to win. Especially Thresh from the book.❤He's just the right mix of clever and intimidation. He's probably the strongest physically. He'll kill to stay alive, but not out of sport. He's got a sense of morality that wouldn't allow him to turn on allies (which is probably why he doesn't have any). He probably could take down any of the others in a 1 v. 1. Truly an incredible Tribute.🥰
People have already talked about Haymitch, but people don't talk enough about Cato and how he had his realization at the end, which was much more obvious in the book of course, that yeah, having been trained to kill his whole life and having to kill people as a child made him realize that he wasn't actually getting any "glory", and that he had been fed a lie his whole life. He's sort of the stand-in for the patriot who becomes a soldier and realizes that war is not that fantastic once in it. As you'll see when you progress further into this series, this is all about PTSD and modern warfare being a televised event, and the fact that most soldiers are teens when they enlist, and the damage done to child soldiers in the world, etc. It also kind of riffs off the same stuff as the novella The Running Man by Stephen King, that we're pretty close to this already with a reality TV, and how awful it is that we're so close already, because of late stage capitalism falling apart and causing people to be poor enough to sell themselves to a game show for food or medicine. They get more into the PTSD part in subsequent films in the series, and the last couple chapters of the final book are among the best literature I've ever read in my life when it comes to that subject. So much so that therapists often counsel families of soldiers to read these books so they can understand what their family members are going through when they try to come back home.
When the dogs/bears show up in the movie the book says that Kay is and Peeta can hear all the tributes contorted screams coming from the beasts.. Putting forth the idea that the beasts are mutated tributes/animal species
@@TReacts.I was just talking with my sister and she’s a Hunger Games fan. I shared your link with her. Her name is Donna so maybe she’ll stop by in a couple of days.
New to your channel; always glad to see someone new reacting to THG. You probably know all this from your Patrons.... The ratings in which Katniss got an 11 were from 1-12, not 1-10. In the book there's more of an explanation of how the kids can get more food rations for their family by entering more times in the Reaping. One entry is required for each person in the family. There are five in Gale's family, so he is entered 6 more times each year (entries are cumulative). So he was entered 6 times at 12, 12 at 13, 18 at 14, 24 at 15, 30 at 16, 36 at 17, and 42 times at 18. In the books those bear-dog-things had the hair and eye color of the tributes who had died up to that point. It was unclear if they might actually *be* the previous tributes. There are 12 districts. The colorful people are from the Capital. They won the civil war and instituted the Hunger Games. There is a 13th district that was destroyed in the war. Katniss is from District 12, which is physically located in the American Appalachian area around West Virginia. People there are miners. You should read the books after you watch the movies. Then definitely go see "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" when it comes out in a couple of weeks, or find it streaming somewhere and do a reaction. You are correct that it is a prequel. It gives the backstory for President Snow and happens around the time of the 10th Hunger Games.
ooo thank you so much for sharing all of that!! So good to know!! But woah freaky about those dogs! So nasty!!! WHAT THE HECK those entry rules are crazy unfair how was he not chosen!! he better not be in the next game i don't think i could cope!! That's insane!! thanks so much for watching hope you enjoyed :)
If you really liked the movie, read the books! They are amazing! They go so much in more in depth of the games and of District 12's history. ... Side note! The reason why Gales name was in the reaping 42 times. District 12 is the poorest of the districts. They are on the brink of starvation. Many already starving to death. Gale would get real, warm food from merchants and peacekeepers, but in turn, his name would be put in more times for the reaping. Bargaining and trading at its finest in district 12. I would highly recommend reading the books! Suzanne Collins created such an amazing story.
Take the bag of another tribute would be a mistake. As they said, they're all desesperate for something, take that away from them would just make them go immediately to hunt you, even people as Tresh that would have just taken what's his and go away to be safe in the forest again and not in such open space. Ofc having more would be great, but what they actually need is in their bag, so it's way safer to just take that if you're trying to survive.
if the other tribute was desperate they might not live without it? and they probably wouldn't know who took it, i think it would be very beneficial! didn't thresh take district 2s?
@@TReacts. The thing is that they made all of them go for it at the same time, so they would see who took their bag and they wouldn't immediately die during those minutes without it, they would just run after who took it in the place of just for it. And no, Tresh didn't take any other bag, just his, since Cato was still around.
2:28 I will say, in the books it does explain that the electric fences in District 12 are barely ever on 8:17 I will say, there’s small things you get from the books, like finding out the three finger gesture is rarely used and is sometimes seen at funerals. It’s like they’re mourning for her death before she’s even left 16:48 hell and Clove is only 15 if I’m remembering right 17:13 guess that’s what ya get lugging around sacks of flour at your family’s bakery 😅 17:58 man, they don’t care. She’s from a lower district, usually they don’t last very long so they’re not too invested unfortunately 20:09 11/12 I think 21:19 yeah, it goes more into it in the books. She talks about how she sees her sister in Rue. They’re both 12 and so small 23:53 it’s definitely happened before 😬 24:29 I really do like the chemistry Jennifer Lawrence and Lenny Kravitz had. Though I’m pretty sure she got to know him prior from working with his daughter Zoe on X Men First Class 24:59 yeah, the game makers want that initial bloodbath 28:13 it’s the game makers making the forest fire, to make the games more “exciting” and draw out the ones hiding 35:34 I HATED Rue’s death in the book and movie. I cried so hard. But there was something about the book version, with Marvel having already speared her when Katniss arrives 37:29 I loved the added district 11 scene. I know in the books we see her get a loaf of district 11 bread, but I feel like seeing the district’s hurt and anger at losing Rue added to it 40:01 she had to get the medicine. He would have died from infection otherwise 41:19 oh yeah, Clove’s sadistic, but I think her death in both the book and movie shows she’s just a scared kid. Again, I preferred her death in the books just cause it shows some humanity from Cato. First, she’s hit in the head with a rock and she doesn’t die immediately. Cato gets to her and she dies in his arms 43:29 muttations 😬the books even eerier since they look like or have the dna of the fallen tributes 45:38 oh Cato’s death in the books is even more drawn out due to his body armor 😬 Katniss finally kills him after he barely looks human anymore 48:42 yup, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It’s a prequel set during and just after the 10th Hunger Games. It’s about President Snow’s past. Highly recommend the books 😊
Hello! Hello! My reaction to Catching Fire is now up in my channel!! th-cam.com/video/wdNS4aL7A7Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Kja6msNMRCUP96zk
I forgot to mention… Peeta ended up with a prosthetic leg out of the first game. They couldn’t save it. So. At the end of the game when the finale was forced. Peeta almost didn’t make it on top of the cornucopia… also… when Cato was being thrashed by the Capitals mutts… Katniss is left with one arrow. And she had to use it to secure the tourniquet on Peetas leg… if she removes it to put Cato out of his misery, Peeta could bleed to death.. but they gnawed on him all night.. Peeta and Katniss thought it would be fast. But it was a slow death because of all that body armor he had on. At last she took the arrow from Peetas leg and used it on Cato
The books were much darker, one example those bear dog things, In the book it goes into detail that they looked in the faces like the fallen contestants, so they used their bodies to make those creatures, and their snouts were modified to bite in the most painful way, BUT in a way where they would kill u and rip you up SLOWLY so u died slower and suffered more.
Haymitch’s story is so sad but at this point the most relevant element is to consider that he has been forced to mentor two kids every year for a long time, and he is the mentor because he is the only District 12 Victor around. He was made to kill a lot of people to survive the arena. After that experience, he was forced to get to know a lot of innocent kids before watching them all get murdered.
He was also in the quaterquell and had to fight twice as many tributes and snow killed everyone he loved
Woah! I wish he got more time to tell his story! Someone else mentioned he gets dragged back to mentor every year! Which is wild... he won he should be left alone!! But wow yeah i never thought that he meets then year after year and they die!! Crazyyy
twice as many what how come!!! would love to hear him talk about his games!!
@@TReacts.youll learn more in the second movie not specifically about haymitch but about why his games was special. His was the 50th games a quarter quell (special games every 25 years)
@@lanahands781….. can you not spoil things for reactors? There is no mention of the QQ in the first book/movie.
I'm so glad you understood the flashbacks! A lot of reactors think that Peeta was disrespecting or demeaning Katnis by throwing it to her instead of bringing it to her. In the book it makes it clearer that he was being watched by his mother and throwing it was all he could do. He still knew he would get beat for it and did it anyway. Katniss ties this moment back to her and her families' survival, because they were starving after her father died and this bread gave her the energy and time she needed to figure out what to do.
And when she next saw him he had a black eye 😢
If people pay attention to his expression u can see he means well and has sympathy for her! But i suppose because of the rain people would take it as a negative? I saw it as a gesture of kindness none the less!! Thanks for sharing :)
People also seem to forget Peeta was like eleven when this happened, so angering an abusing parent at that age is a big deal. I understand that movie-goers don't get that though since they look the same age. They really should have had child actors do that scene but I assume they felt people would be less likely to understand what is going on.
I think the makers of the movies portrayed it pretty badly (or else it's hard to do, I really don't know!), but at the point where Peter throws the bread to Katniss, she and her sister were close to starvation. So she must have been relatively thin by then and the actress is anything but near starvation (not a negative statement, she's beautiful!)
And if I remember correctly in the book it’s mentioned that he burnt the bread on purpose so they couldn’t sell it.
Getting a score of 11 was a mixed blessing. It helps her with sponsors but it also put a big target on her back with the other tributes. The careers went after her because they recognized her as a threat.
A note about Haymitch: He won the 50th Hunger Games and has had to mentor more than 20 pairs of tributes since then. Every year, he has to do this. Every year, they died. There’s more tragedy to his story. It’s no wonder he is a cynical alcoholic.
yeah i thought it's kinda dangerous because she will be a big target!! WHAT 20 years of that... that's insane he won he should be left alone!! oh my gosh makes so much sense now! thanks for the insight, hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
@@TReacts.also. Next movie you learn that before Katniss and peeta, there were no other winners from district 12, only Haymitch. That means every single tribute he mentored passed every single year. That to me explains his character
@@violeta8445That's crazy!! Definitely adds more to him, humanises him more! I didn't realise hes been dragged back year after year thats so sad :(
Also please check out movie “Bottoms” when you can.. it’s so good
@@violeta8445there were no other victors alive* from district 12 😉
When I watch reactions, a lot of people hate Cato and the other more sadistic Tributes and root for their deaths, and that always makes me really appreciate what Susanne Collins did when she wrote these books. At the start, everyone watching the movie is talking about how crazy/sick it is that children are being selected for a fight to the death, how disturbing it is that everyone watches the broadcast at all times, placing bets and being invested etc. By the time Glimmer is dead, a lot of reactors say that they do not feel bad for her. Because she's a bad person, and hellbent on killing, and she's a murderer, right? But she's a kid - one of the kids in the richer Districts that is raised from birth to expect death, to train to kill, to entertain the masses with murdering other children. Their parents enrol them in that training before the children have a chance to start thinking rationally. Glimmer, Cato, that little group is 100% a product of the world the Capitol has built, where this is normal. If you were raised that way, I honestly believe there are two options - you either wouldn't have survived to this point (truly wouldn't a child go insane), or you lean into the madness to survive. That's life for the kids in the higher Districts. In the lower Districts, there is no money, no training to fight and barely an education, no nutritious food, no medicine - every day is a struggle. The children are desperate, raised for slaughter at the hands of the richer kids in the Games (99% of the time, that's the outcome). I think the book and the movie replicate the experience really well - when someone starts to root for who should live, and who should die. You stop paying attention to the fact that none of these kids should be in this situation at all. Panem.
FACTS! I see that, if u take a moment to think deeply about why they are like that then yes! they really know no different, that's crazyyyy! This cycle needs to stop i hope we see some sort of change in the coming films because i cannot bare to watch more of this!! Need to stop these games!!!
That's also why I love the impact that Cato has in the end. He was always dead, he just didn't know it. As in he figured out that he was always raised to die, not to live a life of honor, like he had thought before. The Capitol he looked up to wasn't what he thought it was. But killing is the only thing he can do so he still try to do that. And of course its even more pronounced in the books.
And that’s one of the principal themes of the second book, “remember who the real enemy is”. It’s not the other tributes, it’s the capitol that has put them all in this situation.
i always found cato’s “i’m dead anyway” line so heart wrenching. you can hate these children all you want, but none of them wanted to die, half of them believed if they lived they’d bring “honor” to their districts somehow, and the other half knew that winning meant a lifetime of the capitol up their ass, including possible forced prostitution because many of the past victors were forced into it. cato is a product of his environment, and i truly believed he knew if he survived, he wouldn’t be “happy” ever. he knew what was waiting for him if he lived, he knew the victor life was not sunshine and rainbows, it was a cesspool of vermin constantly watching you even in your private time. i feel like cato had accepted his place as a capitol “pet” if he was to be the victor. he was already desensitized to the idea of his life not being his own
@@TReacts. the max score was 12 not 10
The dogs in the book are even scarier because Katniss realizes that they look to human, with human features that she finds familiar. So they were either made with the DNA of the fallen tributes, or they were literally made from their corpses (which is highly likely given the fact that once you enter the Hunger Games, they basically own you, and so when you die, they can do whatever they want with your body).
oh my god that is VILE! But doesn't shock me after all they have done! These details are so horrific but so fascinating, would have never thought of that so creative!! Thanks for watching :)
That sounds goofier not scarier
They took the eyes of the tribute and put them in the dogs eyes. I don't think it says anything about their other features being similar, but it was a while since I read the books. I remember her seeing Rue's eyes on the dog.
@@Leffelinithe mutts have the same color eyes, the fur is the same colour as their hair, they have tags that show their district and the vary in size. for example rues mutt was very small and threshs mutt was big and jumped very high
I think they send the bodies back to their districts though so they probably used the DNA
I don't know if you'll see this, but there is only one thing that has always bugged me about this movie. In the book, when Clove dies (the girl from District 2 who was killed by Thresh) she yells for Cato and Katniss can hear him calling back but he sounds too far away to actually be able to help her. There's then beats her head with a rock, and she doesn't die instantly like in the movie. Cato finds her on the ground after she gets hit and she's dying. He holds her and tells her that's she's okay, basically begging her to stay alive. I always thought that that scene shows how human even the kids from District 1&2 are. They're all just kids forced to live in that awful world. Like how Clove was going to kill Katniss the way she was planning in order to give the capital a good show and get more sponsors.
Effie just makes me so sad shes so brainwashed since little, all the capitol people is mostly, but she is sweet just oblivious to the situation, she sees it as a show
Yeah she seems soooo innocent bless her!! She's so oblivious, she really is so sweet and so funny! Thanks for watching :)
Rue’s death is a major tipping point as Katniss’ actions in laying her to rest are respectful and normal to any human being watching the movie, but in the world of the film it is a political act (not deliberate on Katniss’ part) because it HUMANISES the child. Normally the dead kid is carried away by a drone. But to see her there, with flowers and love - a funeral - it wakes people up. It tells them that yes, the pain in their heart and the thought that this death is WRONG is the right thing to be feeling. And so, riots. Normally they don’t. Everyone is numb to these losses at this point. Rue and Katniss change that. The Capitol uses the children of its citizens to control the population. It’s twisted by design. You want to rebel? Look what happens to 24 of your children every year. Well, what if we did it to all of them? They manipulate hope and condition the people to live in fear from a young age.
They really do run in fear! But it's totally understandable! The capitol is a scary gang! I'm thinking these films will get political which would be a really fascinating approach! Thank you so much for all your comments i've loved hearing what you have to say! Thanks so much :)
I wouldn't say they are numb to it, but they are scared as you say. It comes to a point when they are less scared and cowed than they are angry (even if its not Rue's district that is the first to start riots in the books) and hurt. In the books its described as a chore they have to do, to watch the games, and even if you distance yourself to it it doesn't feel like people are numb (I read numb as not caring here, if you meant something else we might totally agree :D ). They have endured this for three-ish generations - that pent up anger is being unleashed.
so real also, back in the early games, the parents of tributes used to put their kids in their "sunday best" for the games. these were often hand-embroidered with flowers, animals etc.. there's a theory that the capitol switched to tribute uniforms to further dehumanise them, so they wouldn't be seen as innocent children in the eyes of the capitol
i’ve always loved thresh in the book and in the movie. in the book the career districts (1&2) tried to recruit him for an alliance but he refused, and he refused to banter with caesar flickerman, only giving him yes or no answers. he stuck to himself the entirety of the games, only staying in a wheat field because thats what he knew and thats what his district does, agriculture. even during the feast when he goes to retrieve his backpack the only reason why he kills clove is because i thought what she was doing to katniss, tormenting her and cutting her slowly, was how rue went. the thought of a child, especially rue who was greatly loved in district 11, being tortured to death was the only thing to make him harm someone else. after he learns what katniss did for rue he not only spares her life, but takes cato’s bag so that he would go after him and not katniss. i truly think that he was a gentle giant (since in the book katniss describes him as 6’6 and built like an ox) forced to hurt people and thats why he stuck to himself so often. truly an amazing young man and his death brings me to tears every time.
so does rue, she was the same age and height as prim which is why katniss felt like she couldn’t leave her to be alone in the arena. she also resembles a bird in the books, according to katniss, another similarity between the too because katniss would always call prim “little duck” because of her clothes tendency to form a duck tail in the back. rues mockingjay song is the song she would sing in her district to let everyone know they could go home since she was usually high up in the trees and could see the flags signifying quitting time before anyone else. her dialogue in the book is heartbreaking too because it really hits home that shes only a child. she said the mockingjays were her special friends, that shes fast, “if they cant catch me they cant kill me so don’t count me out” literally crying its HORRIFIC
they are 2 great characters! So many layers and we learn so much about them even tho we are only with them briefly!! So generous and kind! Thank you for sharing, and thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
Katniss essentially sacrificed herself for Prim when she volunteered - she had no way to know she would win. When Katniss paired up with Rue, she saw Prim in her - Katniss would never have killed Rue at the end if they both made it. Katniss would have died so Rue got out.
Yeah she really did! Especially how I learnt the higher districts win almost EVERY year! She really went in with low chances! Yeah i agree im sure she would've had Rue win :)
You are in for quite the experience. Welcome to the Hunger Games. People always think this story is some silly teen “girl Power with a bow” movie but it is not. It is an incredible story that is quite important and is quite spooky because it parallels real life in a way.
Absolutely it parallels life! People in power have power to do crazy things and it's scary!! The plot is incredible but as you say there's so much meaning underneath and resemblance to life!! Thanks for watching and sharing :)
The number of times a kids name is entered for the reaping increases as they get older (once at 12, twice at 13, and so on). They also are able (or kind of have to) enter their name more times for government provided food supplies. That’s why Gales name was in so many times (food for his siblings and his age).
WHAT that is ridiculous!! What is the point of that... my gosh they have too much power, this needs to end!! Thanks for watching and for the insight :)
@@TReacts."what is the point of that" to penalize poverty. To kill off the "undesireables" at a higher percentage. It's all so sick
Rue gets me every single time, especially with Katniss' screaming being silenced. Such a great decision and incredibly impactful. Then Thresh saving and sparing her. This movie was great, but each one just gets better and better.
In the book obviously you get to hear a lot more of Katniss's thoughts, and that scene where that one girl is lighting a fire you literally read Katniss thinking about how dumb that girl is. Which is honestly funnier than it should be. (Katniss's inner thoughts in the books are sassy af)
No wayyy that's amazing! She is a brilliant character, reading from her perspective must be amazing then ahahah! thanks so much for watching :)
But she also have her sleeping-bag which keeps heat in and cold out. And when she loose it and she have to sleep without it she thinks back to that fire and understands that someone would lite a fire considering how cold it is without it. It's a nice moment of her realizing she has way more training than the other kids and one of the few moments she allow herself to feel empathy them. If you wonder why you don't learn most of the tributes names in the movie, its not only because they are "background characters and who cares", but its because Katniss doesn't want to learn their name because that would make it harder for her to kill them. So her being "sassy" against the other is a coping-mechanism for her.
@@Leffelini absolutely right. It’s been a while since I’ve read the books and forgot to bring that up.
There are so many crazy things that happened in the books that wasn't shown in the movies but I think one of the biggest things they left out was that Peeta lost his leg in the fight with the dogs
THAT IS CRAZY how could they leave that out though!! Maybe too gory?? I dunno that's crazy!! Thanks so much for watching :)
I feel like Willow Shields (Primrose) doesn't get enough credit for being VERY good at screaming.
RIGHT! She's amazing! I have filmed a reaction to catching fire and she has grown into an amazing performer! Her screaming still top notch ahahahaha
The rankings are 1 to 12, not 10. So Katniss' 11 is the highest but not unheard of.
Oh interesting! Surprised the higher districts didn't get over 10s then! Would have loved to have seen their performances!! Thank you so much for watching :)
@@TReacts.in the books, her getting an 11 was to make her a target to the other tributes. That’s why they gave her the highest mark ever. It was a punishment for her behaviour and the Apple.
Every reactor wants Katniss to grab all the bags. If she did that, every living tribute would have chased her. They all need what’s in those bags to survive, so she would have forced their hand by taking their bags. Thresh took two bags (11 and 2) after killing Clove because he wanted Cato to come looking for him, a bold move to change the game and win sponsors. Clove was trying to get sponsors too, appealing to more bloodthirsty viewers by drawing out the death of the highest scoring tribute. Katniss couldn’t stay in that cave because she would have lost the support of the sponsors invested in the love story. Many tributes die trying to please sponsors, some winning by doing terrible things for them, only to learn what happens to popular victors (not really a spoiler, but not mentioned yet): They essentially become Capitol escorts, those sponsors wanting special treatment for their investment. If a victor refuses? Their loved ones are killed. Once you’re reaped, you die in that arena or you spend the rest of your days doing awful things to survive.
oh my gosh that is so tragic!! They really sign away their life no matter what!! So curious to see how the next one pans out, watching them be controlled is going to be horrendous! Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoyed :)
Also the capital could have punished her for trying to take everyone else's bag. They can blow you up on the spot if they want to and think you don't deserve to win (in Katniss case its even more likely). The reason they didn't in the end with the berries was panic to not have any victors at all.
@@LeffeliniYeah that's so true!! The control they have to play the games out how they want is crazy!! It really is a tv show for the capital!!
But that is a spoiler 🤔
In the books they are allowed one token from their district but they are checked before because they tried to sneak poison rings before ☺️
oooo thats cool! But damn very risky yeah!! Thanks for sharing and for watching :)
In the books Katniss also loses her hearing in her left ear from the mine explosion. She had it repaired after she won. She didn't go to Rue right away because she couldn't, her ear injury was too much so she slept concealed by bushes and found her the next day. She also very nearly died from dehydration because she couldn't find clean water. And, the knife wound on her head nearly killed her - Peeta found her collapsed in the cave in a pool of blood.
oh wow... the books have such a different approach... definitely seems more fun! But also stressful!! Thank you so much!!
just in time for the ballad of songbirds and snakesss
also i wanna say, rue was known by everyone one in district 11. during the harvest she is always high in the trees and is the first one to see the flag that signals the end of the work day. so then she sings her little song and the mockingjays spread her song throughout the orchard, letting everyone know they can go home and not to overwork. i can only imagine how devastating it must have been that the sweet little girl everyone knows got reaped. and since rue so fond of mockingjays, seeing katniss wear a mockingjay pin made her decide she can trust her
and i get so sad when i think about how after rue gets reaped, she would be forced to watch the reapings of the other districts. and then she would see a girl who looks about her age, prim. except unlike rue, prim has someone who protects her. someone who can save her from this nightmare ☹️☹️☹️
Absolutely!! oo thank you so much for sharing!! Love learning more!! My reaction to catching fire is now up :)
i think something that not many people realize about the districts is that even though the “richer” districts are better off than the outlying districts are, they are still VERY poor. they are still struggling. they are nowhere near as rich as the capitol and a lot of people act like they are and it really bothers me because those aren’t some snobby rich kids, they are kids who struggle to survive but just have a better chance of it than the outer districts
also not everyone in the capitol is uber rich, they all act like they are but there are many people who are dirt poor. snow was when he grew up (which makes the fact that he STILL puts ppl in the districts in the same situation that he was in even worse) and the people in the capitol are just so heavily propagandized that they think they need to act like they are super wealthy. it all serves to drive a wedge between the people of the capitol and the people in the districts even more than there already is (so that it will be harder to rebel)
i noticed this whilst watching mockingjay part one! where we see district 8 and 7... they look just as rough as 12!! Crazy how it's are to seem they're so well off! Thanks for sharing :)
Out of everyone I’ve seen react to this movie, you’re the only one who’s noticed Peeta pointing to his hand during the fight with Cato. It’s one of my FAVORITE small details from Peeta in the movie. I love watching them work as a team
no wayyy that's crazy! Glad i spotted that then!! Thanks so much for watching :)
@@TReacts. it’s so subtle that i feel people think Katniss just made a good shot since there was so much going on. But she still tried to not kill him if she didn’t have to! Only when he was being attacked by the mutts did she do a mercy killing. Ugh such a good series. Chefs kiss
They cut from the movie that Peeta actually lost his leg from the injury in the games. The healing salve wasn’t so miraculous and they had to amputate after.
NO WAY WHAT! that's crazyyy thanks for sharing that, jeez the cream was kinda crazy but we love that ahahahha
It’s important to remember to think of his limits with a newly amputated leg in the following movies! They had to keep the impacts of the injury in for storylines purposes but because they cut the cause - many movie watchers thought he was clumsy or weak or that people were concerned about him for no real reason!
To be fair, peeta didn’t lose his leg from that cut. He didn’t get a healing salve, he was moreso dying from blood poisoning so he got an injection that helped. He lost his leg because after that when the dog mutts came and he was trying to climb the cornucopia, one of them jumped up and bit his leg so he was bleeding badly most of the time during the Cato fight. I think it was Katniss right tourniquet that was on for hours because Cato took all night to die was what made peeta have to have his leg amputated
I wonder why they changed that for the movies... maybe too gory?? literally tho it takes away from him being strong and brave!!
Oh woah that's interesting! Gosh he really went through it, didn't give him enough credit ahahaha!! Thanks so much for watching :)
16:28 peeta threw that bread and basically saved Katniss. She was starving to death because her mom was depressed and didn’t care for her children after the husband passed.. peeta saved katniss
I gathered it was something like that! Each comment about peeta makes me like him more! He's a sweetheart!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing :)
@@TReacts. he is THE best character out there. Alongside with someone special you will get to know in the next movie. I’m excited for these future reactions.. it’s a WILD ride but each movie gets better
Btw. A lot of people get the wrong impression that gale and katniss are dating. But they are not lol
@@violeta8445I'm so excited to continue on and be fresh with everyone with the new movie!! So exciting :)
@@violeta8445I gathered they are childhood friends and maybe something will happen with them? the way he looked after she kissed peeta seemed like hurt??
the scary thing is, in the books, those dogs had the eyes of all dead tributes. including rue's
that's DISGUSTING oh my gosh
Hey dude this is the first video I'm seeing from you and safe to say you immediately became one of my favourite reactors! You're so insightful, really seem to pay attention to the story and understand it, you feel for the characters and can put yourself in their shoes, express your feelings openly which is awesome to see as a viewer. Some reactors also just pretty much sit there and laugh occasionally but you give us actual commentary, talk us through the thing, give your own thoughs etc and I think that's really cool:) hoping to see you do more movie reactions after this series and hope you enjoy your Hunger Games journey! Your channel will grow to be something great:D
oh my goodness! That is soooo kind of you, lovely to hear! Really made my day!! Soooo glad you enjoyed! I filmed a reaction to catching fire, and wow... what a masterpiece!! Hope to see you there ;)
I just noticed how helpful the scene with Seneca and Snow is in establishing their dynamic. Snow doesn't directly control Seneca's moves, but makes it clear he disapproves of Katniss's score while Seneca is more light-hearted and dismissive thinking it's not a big deal. Then later on when Seneca is locked in the room with the berries, the audience is able to pick up that Seneca screwed up in Snow's eyes by letting them live and that this is the consequence using that context. I know that's probably a "well, duh" observation but I didn't really think about the deliberate choices they made for the viewers who hadn't read the books and therefore needed the movies to establish character relationships
LOVE THAT! Thanks for sharing!! Just posted my reaction to catching fire!! I hope you enjoyed my reaction and hopefully see you over there :)
I don't understand why the movie made the mockingjay pin a secret. In the book it was her token. All the tributes are allowed to bring a token into the games. It's something from home. The tokens are examined by the capitol to make sure they can't influence the results of the game. I think if I'm remembering correctly one of the tributes had their token confiscated because it had a secret needle that could inject poison. Anywho, the point I'm trying to make is the mockingjay pin was not a secret.
That's what i was thinking! If they found out she snuck that in there would be consequences!! But that's makes sense that they're all allowed! Thanks so much for watching and sharing :)
When I saw it first I thought it was Cinna saying "don't say anything. Youve got this, girl on fire" without words. But lots of reactors think he snuck the pin in. Glimmer from 1 tried to bring a token of a ring that turned into a weapon. And she claimed she had no idea. These books are my favourite ❤
@@beltingtokraI wonder why the movie made it seem like a secret? That's crazy! The books have so many details that were missed! Thanks for sharing :)
“So glad it’s not the other guy” Gale sucks 😂
I feel I can say this without ANY risk of a spoiler… they left out a character. Her name is Madge Undersee… she is the mayors daughter. She is Katniss’s best friend. Maybe only friend… in school. She is the one that gives Katniss the Mockingjay pendant… she begged her to wear it into the arena…it was her Aunties… turns out her aunt was Maysilee Donner… best friend to Karniss’s mom.. and she also ended up in the second quarter quell… with Haymitch… sad story ..
no way!!! thats so interesting, thank you! I wonder why they left that character out?? That's very strange!! Thanks for watching :)
@@TReacts.honestly… ur reaction was so genuine!! I loved it!! I can’t wait till you watch the next ones. I remember not being able to put the books down.. Also.. worth noting … when Katniss was saying her goodbyes to everyone … that is when Madge came in and gave her the pendant.. but they also left out the part where Peeta’s dad came in to say goodbye to her and he brought her some chocolate chip cookies. They sat there in silence and as he got up to leave … all he said was he would make sure Prim was taken care of ……also… Katniss and Gale met when she was 12 and he was 14… they were not instant friends. Not even close.. Their fathers both died in the same mine explosion…Suzanne Collins is a genius.. this was kinda modeled after the Roman Colosseum.. and the gladiators fighting to the death. “Bread and Circuses”. In Latin it’s “Panem et circenses”. Food and entertainment… superficial appeasement. Even Gale says it .. “all they want is a good show Katniss”.
@@dammitmandy1166 awh thank you so much!!! No wayyy omgosh shame they left that out! Omgosh what peeta dad said about prim... the thought just have me chills thats so sweet!!! Thanks so much :)
Great reaction! ❤️ I remember reading the hunger games, and the dog/bear creatures that the capitol created for the ending, were even more terrifying and disturbing in the book. Katniss saw immediately that each creature had very identifying characteristics of all the dead tributes. I remember she said she made eye contact with one of them and she immediately knew it was Rue because they had the same eyes.😢
Can’t wait for you to react to the rest!
OH MY GOSH! That's horrific! that's is such a sickening thought my oh my, that really adds another layer... Thanks so much for watching stay tuned :)
In the books Cato's death is much longer, Katniss doesn't put him out of hiis misery till almost daylight. They [Katniss and Peeta] thought that the mutts would finish him off quickly, but they just maul him and Katniss and Peeta just stay on top of the Cornicopia, hugging in shock, listening to him wail until it becomes too much.
No way!!! Thats quite disturbing!! Thanks so much for watching, just uploaded my reaction to Catching fire ;)
I loved your reaction. It seems like you went into this knowing very little about the plot so it was a joy to see you watch it with fresh eyes. I hope you continue this series. Bring tissues.
Ah thank you so muchhhh that is so kind!! I had the feeling it would be brutal but wasn't expecting to jump out of my skin a few times ahahah but yes was so fun going in blind, i'm keen to follow the rest :)
For those of you that don't know....the "dogs" were just the other tributes genetically modified to look like that. The book calls out that Katniss looked into one's eyes and saw Rue's eyes staring back at her. Makes that bit all the more worse
OH MY GOD that thought i'd VILE... that would've knocked me over the edge if that was in the film...
I think Effie was raised to watch a show and that's where she got a job from. Effie wanted to keep her job because she needed it. She saw an opportunity to share fashion and glamour with people who were less priviledged even tho for a short time. Effie also didn't have another way to bring cheer to a su!c!de mission so she decided to be the cheer. Lightening the mood in what way she could - without openly judging the Hunger Games. She wanted to keep her job... She was nice to the children, the tributes..
awh that's good to hear! she does seem quite sheltered, but she has a lovely soul! She's so funny too, HAHAHA thanks for watching :)
@@TReacts. Its my opinion tho. Sometimes I rewatch movies a lot and try to figure why the characters act a certain way and the surroundings etc. But it might differ from what the author thinks of Effie. I need to reread the books. 🤔🤩
So glad you enjoyed this so much! And if you loved this first one, I can't wait to see you experience the next three - they somehow get even better. :)
There's no way they can top this one surely! This was perfection! Thank you so much for watching!! Cant wait to continue the journey :)
This is true. I hadn't watched them in ages, and read all three books after I saw the first movie in theaters. But recently I rewatched them and found out the second movie is better than the first. At least in my opinion.
@@torontomameno wayyyyy i'm so excited to continueee!!
@@TReacts. less handycam movement lol. Seriously, the second is awesome
@@TReacts.Oh honey you have no Idea. Catching fire is literally the best book adaptation ever made
38:29 what happened to him is that after Katniss's tracker jacker attack, she was hallucinating. Cato was coming back to kill her. Peeta also came back and fought Cato to allow her to get away. Cato cut him in the leg with his sword.
Loved your reaction. You were one of the few reactors I felt like really caught on to how sweet and smart Peeta is like with the pointing at the end and the bread.
Interesting detail from the book: Katniss had to drug Peeta with sleeping syrup (forcefully choking it down his throat) so she could go to the “feast”because he refused to let her risk herself for him
Awh, thank you so much! I feel Peeta is underrated!! He deserves so much more recognition, he really grew on me! Im loving these details from the books, so much was missed! Of course that would happen but there's so many answers to all the questions I have! Thanks for watching :)
the next film catching fire is one of THE best dystopians ever made
It is INCREDIBLE! I loved it sooo much, just posted my reaction :)
I love watching people react to this movie series -- Catching Fire is my favorite in the movies. It's so excellent though - excited to see you continue!!
A lot of people are saying catching fire is their fave!! i'm so excited to check it out!! Thanks so much for watching so happy you enjoyed :)
Okay, I haven't seen anyone else. Comment this. But I wanted to clarify one thing. Thresh wasn't killed by the dogs. He was actually killed by Cato in revenge for killing Clove and taking the district too bad from the feast. And that is why Csto was so bloodied, because he just came out of a very difficult fight with Thresh fighting the dogs and then finally facing katniss. Also little extra tidbit, the scene where they are about to eat the berries because they won't kill each other,
It's slightly different in the books. They actually manage to get the berries in their mouth and then have to spit them out before they actually swallow them.
really?? it sounded like the dogs killed him? is it in the books hes killed by cato?? thanks for sharing :)
I love seeing a reaction from someone who has very little knowledge of this series! I really hope you continue with the rest of the movies!
Awh i'm glad to hear it, I definitely plan on it :)
Great reaction! When you said you had heard that the movie was about teenagers fighting for a *prize* I thought you were in for a rude awakening 😂
I'm glad you liked it though ❤
Looking forward to your reactions to the next ones 😊
AGAHAHAJA definitely not for a prize... more so for their life 😭 thank you so much sooo happy you liked it :)
Haymitch won the 50th Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta are competing in the 74th Hunger Games and no one has won from District 12 since Haymitch, so he’s feeling pretty hopeless and depressed when we meet him. No surprise he turned to alcohol to cope in the meantime. Haymitch has been forced to watch kids he’s mentoring be killed again and again for 24 years, so I imagine he’s trying not to get too attached to Katniss and Peeta. However, it’s suggested Katniss was the first Tribute from his District he thought he could genuinely help and get back home. Also, every 25 years the Capitol holds something called a ‘Quarter Quell’ which adds an extra stipulation to the Games. In the 25th Hunger Games the Districts were forced to vote for who would compete in the Games rather than it being chosen in a lottery, “as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence” and in the 50th Games there were double the amount of Tributes, 2 boys and 2 girls from every District, “as a reminder that two rebels died for each Capitol citizen” which was the Games Haymitch competed in and won. So his Games were particularly brutal, so yeah, he’s not doing great. It’s also really rare for people in the poorer Districts to volunteer, so Katniss really stood out at the time. She was just trying to save her sister and had no idea she’d win. It’s suggested in the books Snow gave Katniss a high score of ‘11’, not because of her skill in the evaluation but as a way to punish her. By giving her such a high score Snow put a target on her back, which made the Careers band up and try to take her out as soon as possible. Katniss would also never hurt Rue, she’s a kid, and as an older sister everything in her is screaming to protect Rue. In the books, Katniss really grows to like Rue and thinks if she tries hard enough maybe Rue could win. But when Rue dies we see how devastating it is. How unfair. It could have easily been Prim laying there dead if Katniss didn’t volunteer, so Katniss loses it. Just cries and cries, and lays flowers down for her, attempting to give her some type of funeral before the hover craft takes Rue away. When the Capitol Citizens see it, they’re upset, and when District 11 see it, Rue’s home, they’re angry and begin to revolt. It’s suggested the man who starts the riot in District 11 is Rue’s father too.
Woah! Thanks so much for all taht insight! That is so cool to know!! I never really thought of how big of a target she would be because of the high score!! Thanks so much for watching! I have filmed a reaction to catching fire, loved it sooo much!!
This is no spoiler, because sadly it is never said in the movies.......One major thing about the first movie, what bothers me, is the Mockingjay Pin. They changed it for the movie and in doing this, they changed the ENTIRE meaning of the symbol and its backstory. Katniss does NOT "find" it at the black market. Nor does Cinner have to give it to her in secret.(because the plot of the first book is about Katniss wearing it openly)
In the books, After the reaping, a girl called Magde Undersees (Katniss´s only friend in Distrikt 12) gives her the pin. Its a family token and belonged to her aunt Maysilee Donner. Maysilee was reaped at age 16, to fight in the games. She wore the Pin as a lucky charm. (Because every tribute is allowed to have one token from home. The pin passed all the tests. But a "family ring" of the Distrikt 2 girl fails, because the gamemakers find out about its poisened content and therefor beeing a weapon.) Sadly Maysilee died in the games and the pin was given to her sister, Madges mom. Who since then is living a life of pain and depression. Its also revealed (in the second book) that Katniss´s mom and Maysilee been best friends.
Oh wow! That's very insightful!! I wonder why they changed that?? If there's any particular reason?? Thanks for watching, I have just posted my reaction to catching fire if u fancy it ;)
First off, I love and covet your hair. Second, LOVED this reaction! You were insightful and observant, which was awesome to watch :D Third, as far as book adaptations go, The Hunger Games movies are pretty faithful! But a couple things were changed/omitted details I feel worth mentioning, so I shall:
- The time span. The movies obviously had to cut out a lot, so it may seem not that much time was spent in the Games, but in the books, they lasted weeks upon weeks upon weeks. Katniss' friendship with Rue lasted a couple weeks minimum, and they not only bonded, but learned more about each other's Districts. Communication is very restricted between Districts, and Katniss is surprised to hear that Rue, coming from the agriculture District, doesn't get to eat any of the food they cultivate.
- District 11 had pooled together their money to buy Rue a loaf of bread, but when she died, rather than pulling the sponsor gift, they had it sent to Katniss instead. This was the first time ever that a District gave a gift to a tribute from another District. Katniss recognizes the bread as District 11's (bc Peeta showed her earlier) and that's when she gives the 3-fingered salute. (Btw, this salute is said to be a symbol of honor, of respect, of saying goodbye to someone you love.)
- Gale's comment at the start that "If no one watches, they don't have a game" is different from the books, cause in there, the districts are FORCED to watch. Students get days off from school for the big events, people gather in the squares surrounded by Peacekeepers, etc. It's not as simple as "stop watching" because it's a systemic injustice, not one the populace can simply refuse to take part in.
- The parachutes. I have two gripes with the parachutes, one of which is a minor nitpick and the other irks me (though I get it bc movie). Nitpick: WHY DO THEY BEEP??? I'm sorry, if they BEEPED like that in the Games, YOUR OPPONENTS WOULD HEAR IT AND KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. WHAT THE HECK! WHY DID THEY ADD THIS?? XD
Actual gripe: in the books, Mentors were NOT allowed to put notes in the sponsor gifts. I mean... duh. They have outside info. They're not allowed to give hints! In the books, it's extra special because Katniss has to put together what hidden messages Haymitch is sending her, such as connecting the broth to the kiss and knowing she has to amp up the romance.
- On the roof, when Peeta contemplates wanting to still be himself when he dies, Katniss says, "I just can't afford to think like that." HOWEVER, in the books, when he asks if that makes sense, she says no, and thinks to herself "how could you possibly die as anyone else?" It takes her a while to understand him, highlighting a key difference in their characters.
- The mutts. I'm not a fan of how the movies made the Capitol able to just. Summon them into being. But regardless, in the books, Katniss notes that the mutts look like each of the fallen tributes, with collars depicting their district number. She even wonders in horror if they used the dead bodies' real eyes and put them in the mutts. She stares into Rue's.
- This is a BIG one!! When they announce 2 victors can win, in the movies Katniss says "Peeta..." softly. In the books, she screams "PEETA!!" and slaps her hand over her mouth, berating herself for the stupidity of yelling. Later, when watching back the highlight reel on Ceasar's show, that moment is used to answer Ceasar's question of when Katniss realized her feelings for him. The books make it clear that it was an act first and foremost, but at times Katniss wasn't sure whether she was entirely acting.
- The bread. This memory is interspersed but a lot of people who haven't read the books don't grasp what happened. Katniss and her family were starving to death, she'd yet to learn to hunt, and she collapsed outside Peeta's house. Seeing her after getting beat by his mother for burning bread he then gave to the pigs, he goes back inside and intentionally burns more bread, taking a beating so he can toss Katniss the bread. That saved her family. That bread kept her alive long enough to see their next meal.
- In the books, Katniss goes deaf/permanent hearing loss in one ear after exploding the supplies, and Peeta is left with an amputated leg, replaced by a prosthetic. Not sure why they removed this, as it's pretty important, but I digress.
- One kiss, Katniss feels different. "This is the first kiss that leaves me wanting more." She muses that "I thought I knew everything there is to know about hunger. But this is an entirely new kind."
- Drugging Peeta. In the books, Peeta REFUSES to let Katniss go get his medicine by vowing to drag himself after her yelling and screaming, so he'll be killed if she tries. Not knowing what to do, Katniss is surprised by a parachute with a sickly sweet substance. Then it clicks: this is a sleeping drug. She spoon-feeds it to Peeta, who comments it's familiar, but it isn't until he begins to drift off that his eyes widen in realization of what she's just done.
- At the end when the 2 victors rule is revoked, Katniss immediately pulled the bow on him, only to see him with hands up. Not a huge change in the movies, but yeah. She was prepared to kill him.
There's a ton more but I'll stop myself XD Can't wait to see you react to the next one!!! These books were so pivotal for tween me, and adult me is astounded by how deep and dark and gritty they were. Anygay, see ya soon!
Hey hey!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Love learning all the details and comparisons to the books!! So fascinating! a lot of questions i had you just answered!! Love it! District 11 giving the bread to katniss melts my heart that's beautiful! And yesss!! I agree the dogs spawning from the ground was a bit off! Thanks again! And yes... i have now filmed a reaction to catching fire, and what a MOVIE! loved it so much!! Cant wait to chat in the comments and learn more about that one ;)
Katniss's earing loss is fixed at the end of the first games by the capitol.
Really loving your editing style. Shows so much humor and personality.
Yet another sad thing....The girl who died eating the poison berries was the same girl you saw matching all of the plants and things in training. She knew it was poisonous. She ate it so she wouldn't have to die by anyone else's hand but her own, to escape the terror and horror of being in the games.
oh my goodness that is heartbreaking!!! the fact she couldn't go on anymore wow! i was wondering what happened there i was unsure if peeta killed her! But that makes sense now thank you! Hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
I don't think she knew they were poisonous; I believe she was studying the plants and berries, because she needed to brush up on her knowledge. Sadly, she ate the berries because she saw Peeta gathering them to eat, and assumed they were safe. Peeta also explains to Katniss that he assumed they were the same berries they'd eaten before in the arena (as they look similar), so he didn't know either, but thankfully he didn't eat any before Katniss got to him.
She didn't know it was poison. She relied on the fact that Peeta gathered them and thought they were safe.
she didnt know
The hunger games is my Roman Empire, I swear I think about it every day. I think although it’s ultimately a fictional story it actually relates to so many aspects of our worlds history and even current affairs. There are so many lessons to be learned and so much inspiration to be taken from some characters. I have read all the books (except TBOSAS, going to wait for movie to come out first 🥳) and I have watched the movies an unhealthy amount of times. The thing I love about them is every time you watch you realise so many different small details you never had before. A character I loved in the first movie was fox face. I think she was so far ahead of the other tributes. I believe she made a conscious decision to eat the night lock to un-alive herself as she most likely realised she couldn’t bare life after winning with the guilt etc. So excited for the new movie to come out!
Hey hey!! It truly is a brilliant movie!! I'm so excited to continue i have now seen catching fire and WOWOWOWOW!! HAHAHAH the new film will be great too i'm sure! Fox face is a great character, so intelligent and i agree so far ahead of the other tributes! Wish she had more screen time!! Thanks for watching :)
@@TReacts. First time watching one of your vids and I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole! 😂 Catching fire is the best so good, did you do a commentary video would love to see that!
The hunger games is literally my fav, first book series I ever loved and movie series since I was 13, I’m obsessed
Yass “thank you for your consideration” is iconic 😂 so iconic that Rachel zegler wanted to bow at her reaping as Lucy gray in the new movie lol
2:49 it has to due with calculating how quickly the bird is moving, how quickly your arrow will move, the spot where it most likely to be flying, and where its gonna land. Bow hunting is quite complicated but quite fun and ive wanted to get my bow hunting license for 3 years now.
8:13 whenever i see that i always say "amazing bedside manner"
In the books the three finger salute is a symbol of respect for a loved one, used in the lower districts (10-12)
ahhh thank you so much for that!! Hope you enjoyed, i have a reaction to catching fire if you fancy it ;)
@@TReacts. My plan is to read the book, then watch the movie and then watch the reaction :)
In the books during the Feast scene when Clove dies (girl with knives) Cato runs to her and begs her to stay with him. So mad they didnt include that in the film because it humanized the Careers. In the movie they just had Cato make a speech at the end which left less of an impact.
No wayyy that would have been cool to see! It's east to forget they are teens too and don't know any better!! Thanks for watching :)
@@TReacts. Also did not appreciate the FNAF jump scare lol.
AHAHAHAHAHA it had to be done sorryyyy i jumped out of my skin multiple times and im sure some got a laugh so i had to do something back!! HAHA
Also, the psychological warfare aspect in the books was toned down here. But in the books, the animals at the end had the faces of the tributes who had passed already, as an element of horror to mess with the heads of the survivors. Essentially, they're coming after you and you have to kill them again".
oh my gosh... that is DISTURBING! Thank you for adding that also!! Wow, crazy!
One of the best Movie Series ever and one of the best book adaptations!!! Can’t wait for you to see the rest! It’s all uphill from here!
How can it get better! This was phenomenal!! Thanks so much :)
@@TReacts. somehow is does!
@@aidenevans134Very excitingggg!!!
I wish you had more movie reactions on your channel, because they are an absolute treat to watch. You're both entertaining and empathetic, which are my favorite qualities in a reactor. Keep up the good work, my friend!
ah thank you so so much!!! you are too kind!!! slowly starting to get more movie reactions out!! they take some time to edit but for sure getting there! so grateful ❤️
@@TReacts. I feel you there! Editing to avoid copyright over and over is why I quit doing reactions myself. It's more work than people realize.
I really enjoyed watching your reaction! I read the books before seeing the movie, including the new prequel movie, so it is so interesting to see it through fresh eyes.
I have a lot of thoughts, sorry if this is long.
There were moments I laughed, like when you said at the beginning you thought they fought for a prize, and other moments, like when you showed such genuine relief that Katniss found Rue in the net, that I was thinking "oh honey I'm so sorry you don't know whats coming," (but also not sorry, because the feels really make the experience).
I was impressed by the details and unspoken impressions you picked up on, and you pointed things out that I've never noticed! I can't believe after all this time I never noticed that Peeta points to Cato's hand. I guess I was always looking at Cato's face.
This comment section is great, I appreciate the way everyone is so kindly sharing the details that will add to your experience of the story without apoiling too much.
I'm looking forward to pressing play on your reaction video to the sequel haha and I am so grateful for this resurgence for these amazing deeply layered stories, so I can notice more details and notice how different it feels to experience the story now as an adult instead of a teen. Turns out, even more upsetting. Feels even worse that they're kids than when I was also a kid.
Awh what a lovely comment! Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed! Cant wait to hear what you think of my other reactions! (And if I point anything else out for you ahaha - that's crazy!) Quite proud I found hidden gems, I loved the sequel so much! I have just filmed my mockingjay part two reaction and WOW..... just wow. hahaha look forward to chatting some more :)
so excited to see your reaction to the other three ESPECIALLY the second one it’s my fave
oh and your effie commentary at times made me laugh she’s very extra but i love her for it 😂
I cannot wait to get into the next one!! Thanks for watching stay tuned :)
HAHAHAHA she's amazing i hope she continues to have iconic moments ahahha
Love your reaction, it’s hilarious and the fact you noticed him pointing at his hand and mouthing ‘shoot him’ cuz nobody else notices
Love that you appreciated it. The books are even better, though I have to say this was a great adaptation.
Cannot wait to read the books, thanks for watching :)
You seem sweet… I’m sorry you’ve started this saga and already had to experience the emotional roller coaster of this first film. I think the saga permanently impacted my brain chemistry. Once you start you won’t be able to stop.
Awh thank you so much, it definitely hit hard!!! Thanks so much for watching :)
I loved this reaction, it's great seeing someone who is watching the series with fresh new eyes! Saw this come up on my related videos, had to click (and quickly subscribed, your reaction to Rue's passing reminded me of mine back then!) I'm sure a lot of the people in the comments would be happy to explain some things that feel ambiguous (aka not explicitly explained in the scene) in the movies which are better explained in the books! Good luck though, you're in for a rollercoaster of emotion, even I cry when I do rewatches!
Awh thank you so muchhhh!! That means so much to me, i'm thrilled you enjoyed!! I cannot wait to get into the next one!! But im also nervous HAHAHA thank you :)
“What in the Graham Norton is this?” 😂 When I saw this, I was almost certain Tucci got at least some of the inspiration for his performance from Norton.
My favourite Caesar moment is in catching fire after he interviews district 7 and after she is done ripping him a new one he says “well, one woman’s opinion” 😂😂😂
he's such a goofy character love it!!
@@TReacts. we have a running joke in my family, anything ludicrous happens in the media and we started loudly singing Caesar’s entrance music, as it had no words it’s just bah bah BABABAAAHHH 😂
@@TReacts. OH are you planning on doing a reaction to the other three movies in that set? I would love to watch that
44:56 "Oh my gosh, there's literally 20 of them."
And there were! 24 tributes, minus Katniss, Peeta and Cato (and Tresh, but he died so recently they wouldn't have made him a mutt yet) become 20 mutts. You knew!
I adore your glasses...so studious looking! I like your jumper as well. The Hunger Games shows just how far governments, especially those with a dictator will go to maintain power, and control. Peeta is just as impressive as Katniss just in a different way. I love his artistic talents, and his loyalty. Katniss for her bravery, and her honesty. Her sarcasm is on point as well. I love when Hammich tells Katniss about Peeta and him saying she was his crush..."HE made you look desirable!!!" Ru dying just gutted me, she was so young! The best thing they could be was witty in the Hunger Games, the better you are at surviving by your wits the better. The smart ones survive! You should watch all of them in this series up to at least Mockenjay 2....Great reactions!!!.....Brian
Ah thank you for the compliments Brian!! You are too kind!! It was very freaky to watch as this is a scary thought because of the realism!! Such great characters we can really gather who they are and they have so much depth!! I'd definitely love to see where this goes!! Thanks so much for watching :)
District 12 is so poor that they rarely have enough electricity to power the fences. Thats why she could just walk through it without worrying.
oh my that thought didn't even cross my mind even more so that they're keeping the wild life out, so that means any wild animal can come through and attack the people!! Scary scary!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing :)
Movie perfection defines well. This entire series is amazing, period.
Such a great movie! Cannot wait to get into the next one!!
So glad you loved this as much as I have. It's an amazing trilogy, absolutely brilliant!
It really is! I'm so excited to watch the next one eeek!!
your reaction to the district 3 girl’s corpse after the bloodbath is so good 💀
that sequence was BRUTAL my oh my! Thanks for watching :)
I can’t wait to see your reactions to the other movies! I would also highly recommend reading the books too! They give so much more background and details!!!
I definitely plan on checking out the books!! My reaction to catching fire is now up ;)
Although I hated how silent the video was making it hard for those of with diminished hearing to hear, I LOVED your commentary. You noticed everything! You caught subtle hints that were told in the books but not spelled out in the movies. The only thing you didn't get was why no one took anyone else's district supplies, because then they would come after you. I will be watching all your reactions-I subscribed so fast. I hope you have done or will do reactions to Harry Potter/Maze runner/Divergent(only the first one)/Lucky number SLevin/ I-Robot/Just Go With it. I think you're great.
I love your reaction so much!! Amazing! Can't wait to see if you are going to react to the newest hunger games😊
I'm 20 seconds in, I've paused the vidoe to make this comment. You energy is lovely! I already know I will absolutely love your channel! Can't wait for you to see the rest for the Hunger Games series.
omg stop that is so lovely thank you so much!! i'm so happy to hear that!!!! Hope you enjoy the rest of my reaction :)
@@TReacts. Just the truth! Also NOT the FNAF jumpscare!!!!!!!!! Got me good hahahah
@@AakkeelliiAHAHHAHHAAHAH the footsteps reminded me of the game so i HAD TO HAHAHHA!! Really appreciate it :)
43:48 ARE YOU KIDDING ME MY HEART STOPPED
AHHHHAHAHAHAH SORRY NOT SORRY TOOOOOO FUNNY!! thanks for watching with me!!!
I haven't seen anyone explain it yet. She was allowed to have her pin. Each tribute is allowed to have a token to represent them. It just can't be a weapon or laced with poison. It was an interesting film choice to make it a seem like a secret.
Oh wow that amazing!! That was more clear in catching fire when multiple tributes had a token! Thanks so much, stay tuned for my next reaction ;)
A few too many editing bells and whistles in your reaction but your facial expressions and looks are absolutely perfect.
Ah thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed :)
In the book, cano wears a suit that instantly heals you no matter what position your in, so the scene with him being eaten by the dogs (whom are made from the corpses of Fallen tributes) he is constantly being eaten then brought back healed. Katniss and Peeta don’t do anything for 24 hours, listening to him scream going through a cycle of torture until she finally shoots him.
I haven’t read the books but I’ve heard people talk about how he lived much longer in the books, and I wasn’t sure how he could survive that long 😢
Peta really shows you want a baker and cake decorator can do 😛 I had such a crush on Peta as a teen, these were my favourite movies
He really does!! So talented!! Awh love it!! Thanks so much for watching :)
I'm so excited for you to start this journey! The next movie (Catching Fire) is the best of the series. But definitely be prepared to cry some more
How can it get better??? this was amazinggg!! Thanks so much for watching :)
Honestly, if there could have only been one Victor, and it could have been anyone, I would want Thresh to win. Especially Thresh from the book.❤He's just the right mix of clever and intimidation. He's probably the strongest physically. He'll kill to stay alive, but not out of sport. He's got a sense of morality that wouldn't allow him to turn on allies (which is probably why he doesn't have any). He probably could take down any of the others in a 1 v. 1. Truly an incredible Tribute.🥰
i wish we got to see more of him!! He was very intriguing!! Love that!! Thanks for watching :)
People have already talked about Haymitch, but people don't talk enough about Cato and how he had his realization at the end, which was much more obvious in the book of course, that yeah, having been trained to kill his whole life and having to kill people as a child made him realize that he wasn't actually getting any "glory", and that he had been fed a lie his whole life. He's sort of the stand-in for the patriot who becomes a soldier and realizes that war is not that fantastic once in it.
As you'll see when you progress further into this series, this is all about PTSD and modern warfare being a televised event, and the fact that most soldiers are teens when they enlist, and the damage done to child soldiers in the world, etc. It also kind of riffs off the same stuff as the novella The Running Man by Stephen King, that we're pretty close to this already with a reality TV, and how awful it is that we're so close already, because of late stage capitalism falling apart and causing people to be poor enough to sell themselves to a game show for food or medicine. They get more into the PTSD part in subsequent films in the series, and the last couple chapters of the final book are among the best literature I've ever read in my life when it comes to that subject. So much so that therapists often counsel families of soldiers to read these books so they can understand what their family members are going through when they try to come back home.
thank you do that!! Great to get more layers, hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
When the dogs/bears show up in the movie the book says that Kay is and Peeta can hear all the tributes contorted screams coming from the beasts.. Putting forth the idea that the beasts are mutated tributes/animal species
What oh my gosh that is sickening!! So so disturbing!! Thanks so much for watching, if you enjoyed i have just posted my catching fire reaction :)
GURL the way you triggered my fnaf ptsd with that chica jumpscare. That was rotted 😂 my wig is flying across the planet as we speak
AHAHAHAH SORRY! AMAZING! But I could help myself, thanks so much for watching! I have recently posted a reaction to catching fire if you fancy it ;)
Hello! Hello! For my full reaction to The Hunger Games AND Catching Fire visit my patreon: patreon.com/TristanAtkinson
Great reaction
Thanks Diane!! Means so much to me as always :)
@@TReacts.I was just talking with my sister and she’s a Hunger Games fan. I shared your link with her. Her name is Donna so maybe she’ll stop by in a couple of days.
Omg no way!! That's so cool!! Ah thanks Diane, would be lovely to meet her!!
@@TReacts. she understands the movie much better than I do. I told her to be sure to say hi.
39:46 your reaction has me gasping for breath omg i finally see why people like reactions😂
awh thank you so muchhhh!! I'm so happy you liked it, i also have a reaction to catching fire if you fancy it :)
I did not appreciate the little jump scare you put in there. 😂I’m kidding but it did make me jump 😊 your reaction was super fun to watch.
AHHAAHAHAHH SORRY love ittt you are too kind :)
New to your channel; always glad to see someone new reacting to THG. You probably know all this from your Patrons....
The ratings in which Katniss got an 11 were from 1-12, not 1-10.
In the book there's more of an explanation of how the kids can get more food rations for their family by entering more times in the Reaping. One entry is required for each person in the family. There are five in Gale's family, so he is entered 6 more times each year (entries are cumulative). So he was entered 6 times at 12, 12 at 13, 18 at 14, 24 at 15, 30 at 16, 36 at 17, and 42 times at 18.
In the books those bear-dog-things had the hair and eye color of the tributes who had died up to that point. It was unclear if they might actually *be* the previous tributes.
There are 12 districts. The colorful people are from the Capital. They won the civil war and instituted the Hunger Games. There is a 13th district that was destroyed in the war. Katniss is from District 12, which is physically located in the American Appalachian area around West Virginia. People there are miners.
You should read the books after you watch the movies. Then definitely go see "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" when it comes out in a couple of weeks, or find it streaming somewhere and do a reaction. You are correct that it is a prequel. It gives the backstory for President Snow and happens around the time of the 10th Hunger Games.
ooo thank you so much for sharing all of that!! So good to know!! But woah freaky about those dogs! So nasty!!! WHAT THE HECK those entry rules are crazy unfair how was he not chosen!! he better not be in the next game i don't think i could cope!! That's insane!! thanks so much for watching hope you enjoyed :)
If you really liked the movie, read the books! They are amazing! They go so much in more in depth of the games and of District 12's history. ...
Side note! The reason why Gales name was in the reaping 42 times. District 12 is the poorest of the districts. They are on the brink of starvation. Many already starving to death. Gale would get real, warm food from merchants and peacekeepers, but in turn, his name would be put in more times for the reaping. Bargaining and trading at its finest in district 12. I would highly recommend reading the books! Suzanne Collins created such an amazing story.
my final reaction to the last movie is up!!! hope to see you there!! thanks so much for watching :)
Your personality and character makes me enjoy this reaction you are really funny 😅😂
Stoppp that is so lovely!! Thank you so muchhh, I have posted a reaction to the second movie (Catching Fire) If you fancy it ;)
@@TReacts. im gonna binge watch them all because your character is so me 😭😂
Another good fight to the death movie is Battle Royale 2000. However it focuses on all 42 characters
oooo thanks so much!! Hope you enjoyed my reaction :)
I just realized they basically made the mutts for the movie manbearpig 😂
Take the bag of another tribute would be a mistake. As they said, they're all desesperate for something, take that away from them would just make them go immediately to hunt you, even people as Tresh that would have just taken what's his and go away to be safe in the forest again and not in such open space. Ofc having more would be great, but what they actually need is in their bag, so it's way safer to just take that if you're trying to survive.
if the other tribute was desperate they might not live without it? and they probably wouldn't know who took it, i think it would be very beneficial! didn't thresh take district 2s?
@@TReacts. The thing is that they made all of them go for it at the same time, so they would see who took their bag and they wouldn't immediately die during those minutes without it, they would just run after who took it in the place of just for it.
And no, Tresh didn't take any other bag, just his, since Cato was still around.
Heck ill start this journey with you
yessss love to have you here with me!! Thanks so much, hope you enjoy watching with me :)
2:28 I will say, in the books it does explain that the electric fences in District 12 are barely ever on
8:17 I will say, there’s small things you get from the books, like finding out the three finger gesture is rarely used and is sometimes seen at funerals. It’s like they’re mourning for her death before she’s even left
16:48 hell and Clove is only 15 if I’m remembering right
17:13 guess that’s what ya get lugging around sacks of flour at your family’s bakery 😅
17:58 man, they don’t care. She’s from a lower district, usually they don’t last very long so they’re not too invested unfortunately
20:09 11/12 I think
21:19 yeah, it goes more into it in the books. She talks about how she sees her sister in Rue. They’re both 12 and so small
23:53 it’s definitely happened before 😬
24:29 I really do like the chemistry Jennifer Lawrence and Lenny Kravitz had. Though I’m pretty sure she got to know him prior from working with his daughter Zoe on X Men First Class
24:59 yeah, the game makers want that initial bloodbath
28:13 it’s the game makers making the forest fire, to make the games more “exciting” and draw out the ones hiding
35:34 I HATED Rue’s death in the book and movie. I cried so hard. But there was something about the book version, with Marvel having already speared her when Katniss arrives
37:29 I loved the added district 11 scene. I know in the books we see her get a loaf of district 11 bread, but I feel like seeing the district’s hurt and anger at losing Rue added to it
40:01 she had to get the medicine. He would have died from infection otherwise
41:19 oh yeah, Clove’s sadistic, but I think her death in both the book and movie shows she’s just a scared kid. Again, I preferred her death in the books just cause it shows some humanity from Cato. First, she’s hit in the head with a rock and she doesn’t die immediately. Cato gets to her and she dies in his arms
43:29 muttations 😬the books even eerier since they look like or have the dna of the fallen tributes
45:38 oh Cato’s death in the books is even more drawn out due to his body armor 😬 Katniss finally kills him after he barely looks human anymore
48:42 yup, Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It’s a prequel set during and just after the 10th Hunger Games. It’s about President Snow’s past. Highly recommend the books 😊
the FNAF jumpscare makes me laugh even more knowing the actor who plays peeta is also in the FNAF movie 😭
AHAHAHHA NO WAY AMAZING
Great reaction. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the next 3. Yes a new one is coming out. It’s about president snow’s life. The book was great.
oooo thats very exciting! Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed :)
