The meaning of the three-finger salute is described in the books: "It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means goodbye to someone you love."
Yep, and nowadays in the real world the symbol has been adopted in some countries fighting against oppressive dictators and tyranny.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-finger_salute_(pro-democracy)
Thanks. I read the books but didn't remember that.
It's also a scouts gesture, that means "the big protects the small, and even the furthest are united".
@@Hey_Jamie but that's a gross oversimplification of it. When the crowd did it when she volunteered, she probably felt like she was attending her own funeral.
I remember this being a salute in girlscouts
In the book, after rue dies, district 11 where she is from pulls all their money together to send katniss a loaf of bread made in their district as a thank you for the respect shown to rue. It’s really touching.
😭😭😭
In my opinion they portray Peeta not clear enough in the films. The most important thing about him: He is a very good and clever speaker while Katniss cant talk to crowds at all. They are a dream team like that.
Also he's friendly and kind and gets along with people. Katniss is kind of a misanthrope.
I agree
SPOILER yes, it’s even showed in the books how president Coin wanted Peeta bc he’s a better speaker and public imagine than Katniss. I don’t really like how they adapted Peeta, in the book is evident how he uses his charisma to gain love and play people while in the film it’s not that apparent
@@Izzy-eo5rh really? So he's kinda manipulative in "negative" meaning or positive meaning?
@@nonameanonymous9423 i think it’s in a positive way cuz he only uses that with the public of the capitol and its for survival
The dog monsters were even scarier in the books. They were genetically engineered to look like the dead tributes, and they literally had their eyes. That was nightmare fuel.
I know right
Yeah when I read the books you were really able to get a lot more detail about the mutations
God I forgot about that! **shivers**
Had to read the book for english class, and afterwards we then watched the movie together. I was on edge for the scenes leading up to the mutant dogs, and I nearly sighed in relief when I saw what they actually looked like lmaoo.
everything is nightmare fuel just saying
"Who the hell is Gale?"
It's Thor's brother!
OMG It was Liam Hemsworth!! I didn't even realize that!! Thor's Brother and Miley Cyrus's Ex. Sweet Mercy!
@@NewfieMovieReactions Yes!!! lol
After you finish what is already programmed, can you watch The Chronicles of Narnia? It's amaaaazing
@@haira-hcomsomderobg4773 TRUEEEE
I can't believe no one recognized Donald Sutherland, as in epic actor, as in Keifer Sutherland's dad! He is amazing.
@@BirchLeafPhotography Yes! I’ve watched so many reactions to this series and I’ve never seen anyone mention recognizing Donald Sutherland, it’s so weird.
The second is even better than the first, if you can believe it!
but after the 2nd its downhill from there
@@RedDevil-zy5ov because it's no actual games anymore
I actually like the 1st one more
The second one is my favorite🙌🏾😩
Number three the third book that got cut into two movies it's good but it's not hunger games it's a totally different thing it's basically war against the capital for making these people do this for 70 something years and the traps in the Capitol are pretty cool and one big issue I have with that is how some of the mutations were changed in the movies because oh my God I was so disappointed in that also I found the ending kind of bittersweet but overall it's a good series it's just I've got some problems especially with the end of it I feel like we were invested in for that long we deserve better than that ending can't wait for him to get to that
Love this! I wanted to explain Haymich. So when you win the games you have to become a mentor to the tributes from your district. He was the only person from District 12 before Peeta and Katniss to win the games. So he had to try and help dozens of kids from 12 only to watch them die. So his attitude in the beginning is pretty fair considering He doesn't want to get attached to anyone else who will probably die no matter what he does.
Ahh that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing. I could see why the character would be so detached and turn to heavy drinking.
Actually he wasn’t the only victor before Katniss and Peeta, because there was Lucy Gray
@@clairem391 yeah but she's probably dead by then
That's what I was thinking. I was pretty sure there was another victor but I couldn't remember her name. I don't think she ever mentored with Haymich, right?
actually not true. there has been a past winner from district 12 however at the time of the series he is the only living victor from district 12. the previous winner is called lucy gray baird who won the 10th hunger games under the mentorship of a very young corolanius snow the future president snow that we grow to despise.
Katniss missed the first shot during the evaluation because she wasn’t used to the bow tension and draw weight yet. She’s only been using her own bow for years so she’s used to her own draw weight. So after the first test shot she knew what to expect and how hard to pull back. Hope that helped!
Also because the bow and arrows were made of metal, which she had never shot before.
@@eddietucker7005 Yes, that too!
@@xyrphotic
I always felt like it was simply nerves. The other stuff helped but she had fired that bow in practice. This was a mistake on her part. A good shot is a good shot despite the weapon (barring misfires or breaks) most times!
@@B-Dad she didn’t she stayed away from the bows cause it was her hidden talent
@@B-Dad nah, its from the book.
It made my weary heart so happy when you caught how Peeta points to Cato's hand for Katniss to shoot there. For some reason, a lot of reactors miss out on that bit and I love how it proves that Peeta really does keep a cool head under pressure and finds solutions.
Also I want to mention briefly that the Katniss mother show clear signs of ptsd and depression and in the sequence about Peeta and the bread Katniss was starving to death because she was the only one to provides food after the father passed away and there was scarcity in food and she was not able to hunt for a short time. Katniss mom get sick because of the mourning and pain and in the sickness the two sisters were alone and only Gale practically helped them.
They really should have had kids for the flashback. Like I know it would have been harder to tell it was a flashback of peeta and katniss, but it's even harder to tell she's an about to be 12 year old starving to death. She looks like an 18 year old who would like a snack while its raining lol
@@iloveyourunclebob it's a good point , really. As you said they didn't do that to keep the characters recognizable, but I am not sorry for this. The director chose wisely for the visuals. Jennifer Lawrence was a grown-up 19/20 (?) so making her looking too much younger would be unrealistic and probably not natural.
That's something we don't really see as much in the films, that really informs Katniss as a person. Katniss and her sister spent their entire childhoods on the brink of starvation - like, they almost died several times because they couldn't get food. That's part of the reason tributes from 12 don't win as often - they have so much trouble getting food that they're physically much weaker than the other tributes.
We can't really see that in the films, because they can't legally have their actors be on the brink of starvation to SHOW that. They can have skinny actors - but MOST Hollywood actors are thin, so you don't really notice the difference. It leads to problems like where it's unbelievable that Clove, who's younger, could've overpowered Katniss - what you don't see in the film is that Katniss is supposed to basically be skin and bones. She's supposed to be on the very brink between life and death, to the point where she takes tesserae every single year because even with the hunting, she has no choice.
@@LordofFullmetal and that's the one gripe I had with Jennifer Lawrence playing Katniss. While JL undoubtedly is very slim she has that perpetually chubby cheeks facial structure. It was a bit difficult to believe her to be a starving 16 yo.
In the books it explains that you can get extra food rations by putting your name in the drawing for the hunger games over and over. Gale for instance having a huge family, had to put his name in many many times. Katniss too. But interestingly, the two chosen had the lowest odds. Peter being a bakers son never needed extra food and Prim was only just now of age this reaping. Just food for thought really.
On top of that, your name is put in one extra time each year, so 18 year olds have a higher base chance of being chosen than 12 year olds (before considering the food entries). So Peeta's name was in five times for being 16, but it's still not a lot compared to those who claim extra food as well.
So Gale is just a friend, but he really actually loves Katniss. Peeta has loved her since they were little kids.
The gamemakers have had the whole past year to work on the arena and what would be in it. So they create things during the year that can then be dropped into the arena at any time (like the "dogs").
Heymitch won the 50th hunger games when he was 16. There was something special about that year but I won't mention it till you've seen them all. Like many mentors (people who have won the games), Heymitch is so scarred by what he saw and did in the games that he got severely traumatised. Heymitch copes by drinking, as many other victors do.
Heymitch has also been training tributes for the last 24 years. And none have won. He's feeling guilty about sending them off to die
peta doesnt exaclty like her since they were children. its not really stated how long but in the flashback scene at the reaping she looks like a teen
@@RedDevil-zy5ov in the books and later I believe in the movie he says that he would watch her leave from school and when she sang in the choir in school when they were children so, he was pretty young when he got feelings for her.
@@RedDevil-zy5ov in the books it's basically described as love at first sight for Peeta. That love only grew as he sort of watched her from afar. He says something like he noticed every girl at school but no one made a lasting impression on him like Katniss did. Peeta's father also had a thing for Katniss's mother.
Eww. That’s why I don’t like them. Just cliche and cheesy to me
I just now noticed something heartbreaking. ☹️
The father of little Rue who saw his daughters death on the big screen and went on a rage pushing peace keepers out of his way... that was the only time we saw him.
In the next movie when Kat and Peeta visited district 11 the father wasn't standing on the podium with Rue's mother and siblings, which certainly means that he was k*lled during his riot.
😭💔
So that little family didn't only lose Rue which was bad enough, they also lost their father/husband...
The three finger salute is something District 12 does at funerals, expressing gratitude and telling a loved one they’ll be missed. At the reaping, no one believed Katniss would win. They were thanking her for sacrificing herself to save her sister, saying they’d never forget her.
Mockingjays are the result of a failed Capitol experiment. During the rebellion, they made genetically engineered birds called jabberjays, capable of memorizing and flawlessly repeating lengthy conversations. When the rebels started staging bogus meetings, feeding the jabberjays false information, the Capitol stopped using them. The jabberjays left in the wild bred with mockingbirds, giving birth to mockingjays. Mockingjays can’t speak, but they can perfectly mimic full songs, often following people with nice voices. Mockingjays became a symbol of rebellion, because they’re the result of a stupid mistake made by the Capitol. Katniss was literally wearing an anti-Capitol symbol in that arena.
Victors aren’t just mentors, they’re Capitol property, the more attractive ones being pimped out to Capitol citizens. If they refuse to bend to the wishes of the Capitol, the Capitol kills their loved ones. District 1 and 2 “Careers” usually win because they’re specially trained for the Games, but that also means they’re groomed to please Capitol citizens. Glimmer is flirtatious, not because she’s interested in Cato, but because her strategy is to make herself desirable. Clove takes her time with Katniss because the Capitol audience loves the drama. Every death is tragic when you think of every angle. The helpless kids came from impoverished homes, their families overworked and starving, but the families of the well-trained “Careers” chose to subject their children to this, literally looking at their child and deciding to make them charming, attractive killers to please the Capitol.
thanks for the read it was good
District 4 is also kind of a "Career" district
@@samanthagavina653 Thank you! Getting a good review from a new reader always makes my day :)
Josh Hutcherson actually ad-libbed the "I'll take the bow" joke and they just kept filming because it was too perfect. So that was a genuine chuckle from Jennifer Lawrence.
A dumb thing I like is that THG gives us the opposite of "did you put your name in the goblet of fire". Instead of calmly saying "Peeta" when they announce there can be two winners she shouts "PEETA!" in the book
Haymitch grew on me during the course of the films and books. If you think about it, his attitude is understandable. District 12 haven't won the Hunger games in so long and he's the only mentor, with each year 2 young people to mentor and they've not come home. By this point he's almost given up.
I'm looking forward to your reactions on the sequels.
A little detail that I really like that wasn’t mentioned in the movies was the talk of the bread types of each district. When they were in the training center getting ready for the games, when it came time for lunch, Peeta and Katniss sat together, and at the tables was a bowl of staple breads for each district. Peeta, being the bakers son, explains to Katniss the importance of each and the unique way they were made to represent the districts, for example one from district 4 having a greenish tint with seaweed because of them being the fishing district. And the other one noted was the crescent roll dotted with seeds which was the one from District 11, them being the agricultural district. It leads on to later in Rue’s death, where district 11, Rue’s district, sends the bread. Instead if it being stamped with an 11 like it shows in the movie, in the book, Katniss recognizes it from when Peeta was explaining and showing the different breads of each district, which makes it a touching moment for Katniss because she thought about how much it would have been for them to make that bread, being made from grain rations, and to gift it to her, the amount it would have taken for 11 since they are such a poor district, and the thought of how they recognized that Katniss tried to save Rue and i just like how subtle the book version of that is.
40:03: This is why Foxface was so clever. In the books, it's made clear that it is in fact common for tributes to steal the others' stuff, too. By just running away with her own bag, Foxface ensures that anyone who may be waiting in ambush chooses to let her go rather than risk another tribute stealing their package in their absence.
On the feast, you made an interesting point on grabbing the other district's bags. It did cross katniss' mind and very likely the other districts. Foxface's (the girl who ran across first) move actually has a lot of strategic consideration:
1. Everyone is watching from the perimeter, not sure to come out first. Foxface took the inaction as an opportunity. She sprint, grabbed her bag and left
2. Very likely she intentionally left the other bags there cos so long as the bags are still there, no one would go after her, since they "need" it
3. This not only give her a free pass to escape, but was able to set it up in away that now everyone is even more on edge and would likely cause a fight and kill each other (which worked)
This. Everyone's scared to actually go for their bags, because they KNOW there's a chance they're gonna get killed. The only thing stronger than that fear would likely be if someone actually tried to steal THEIR bag, and they realised their choices were to attack or lose it. Trying to steal the other bags might seem smart, but it's actually very likely to kill you.
Some facts that the movie does not mention :
- the names are put once in the reaping bowls for 12-years-old, twice for 13years-old, and so on.
- eligible teenagers can ask for tesserae in their district, which is one year worth of supply of oil and grain. They can ask for a tesserae per family member in exchange for one additional paper with their name in the reaping bowl per tessera, and the amount stacks each year. At 16, Katniss has done that each year, which is why her names is put 20 times in the bowl. Gale's name is put 42 times at the age of 18 (for him twice each time, his mother and his three brothers and sisters - his father and Katniss's father died four years ago in the same mine accident).
- District 12 is the poorest and least populated district, which is why, in 73 sessions of Hunger games, they won the Games only twice (if you don't count Katniss and Peeta's victory).
- Haymitch, the second victor, won the 50th Hunger Games which was a special Quarter Quell edition, where twice as many Tributes were reaped. Haymitch won against 47 enemies... He's a drunk jerk but it's understandable : he is forced to mentor two teenagers each year to watch them die.
- The youngest victor ever was 14. All 12 and 13-years-old are basically walking corpses, just like Prim would have been.
- The marks are out of 12. An 11 is very rare, the 12 was never achieved.
- The Careers made an alliance with the boy from District 3, the district of technology. He found a way to reactivate the mines around the starting spots (at the beginning of the games, they remain active one minute before the start so that you don't come off before the others and to evaluate your possibilities), which was never done before. And he placed them so that they would not explode all at once, but Katniss bypassed that, which signed the Careers' death. Their strategy is to keep all the supplies to themselves to have the other tributes starve or killed by them, but since they never learnt to fend for themselves, the years where the supplies were destroyed were the years they lost to another more humble district.
- In the book, Rue's funeral by Katniss did get her a gift, but not from a sponsor : from district 11, a simple loaf of bread, but still : gifts are very expensive and districts can seldom afford them, but here they did and for a tribute that is not their own, which is unheard of in the history of the Games.
Haymitch is such an interesting and tragic character. It makes sense that he drinks to self medicate. For one, the only reason he's alive is that he successfully killed a bunch of other kids in the same place as him. It's very likely that he has severe trauma haunting him from that alone. Also, he has been meeting new kids every year for most likely more than 20 years now, just to watch them be brutally murdered. It makes sense that he doesn't want to open up to the new kids.
The future this is set in is (if I remember correctly) is actually in the US with the Capital being somewhere near the Rocky mountains. The US was divided into 14 districts including the Capital and the missing district 13. Each district supplies a certain commodity for the Capital. District 12 provides coal and is the poorest of all the districts.
Also what you saw are people placing bets on the winners of the Hunger Games. They give stuff to the participants if they would help their bets and money. Only in Capital City people are excluded from Hunger Games and they are rich, spoiled and cynical because they do not consider tributes as human beings.
In my opinion they cut the most important scene explaining this in the books and its so small I am sad it was cut. There was a scene after the games where her stylists were talking about the games, like we would on a tv show. saying things like, when you dropped that hive I was getting my hair done etc. Similar to how we talk about plot twists in shows reality and fictional around the water cooler in our society. The entire empthy of the games is lost. Look at how the press has treated brittany spears (because its currently in the news).
@@emilylewis5373 I agree. Also they don't mention that some servant had the tongue or the vocal chords removed and they are enslaved by Capital City too. People in Capital City who have money are cynical inhuman shells detached by reality and death.
Reminds me of the current world, particularly in the U.S. The rich have less to worry about than the poor and middle classes. The country is full of rich, spoiled people who toy with peoples lives. They even had a "Donald" playing a president, and we also had a "Donald" playing a president. Interesting that a fantasy movie could have so much striking truth in a world they didn't know existed as it is at the time.
@@planetsidewinderreact this is the power of cinema and literature: they see in the future for some aspects and ... tragically they get them right sometimes. I love dystopian world especially because is a kind of books/movies where the characters, the psychological issues, the trope are usually stable but never fail in being immersive. Sadly one of the ingredients of a dystopian regime is the regime, the grey-ish world, the absence of colours and presence of social /poverty/ racial issues, so it fits perfectly under Trump reign with also the big propaganda (qanonist and shit).
The beast you see as the last rush of the Hunger Games have the eyes of the other tributes. Literally. The technology makes things real in the arena so the beasts, the fire, everything is real and lethal.
Josh Hutcherson actually ad-libbed the "I'll take the bow" joke amd they just kept filming because it was too perfect. So that was a genuine chuckle from Jennifer Lawrence.
In the book it’s explained that she missed the target initially in the training session because the Capitol’s arrows were too perfectly straight; she was used to her own homemade arrows which she had to compensate for the curves on.
Rue's death still gets me every time!
Here's a direct quote from the book about the "three finger gesture": "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me. But a shift has occurred since I stepped up to take Prim's place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one, then another, then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and holds it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love."
In the books, it's more mind games. All of the dead tributes had their eyes duplicated on the mutts at the end. Even Rue's eyes were duplicated on one of the mutts. The books were all a mindf_ck.
Oh geez, not Rues.😞🙁 that’s so messed up.
Haymitch won it during the last quarter quell, the 50th hunger games. He had to go against 47 other tributes.
Yeah there’s a love triangle but that’s not the story, y’know? For that marketing they tried to play it up like twilight, but it’s literally about war.
It's ironic how in the books, the love triangle and focus on romance between Peeta and Katniss was emphasised by the (Capital controlled) media to be the most important part of the Games, to distract the Capital's citizens from the actual horror and uprising of the districts, to supress any form of hope of rebellion. When the movies came out, that is exactly how the real world media marketed it; as a story of a love triangle in a war like setting, rather than the actual focus on the war and rebellion, with a love triangle included.
@@perennials118 it’s ironic in the worst freaking way, dude. Scary :(
yeah well they shouldn't have done this love triangle
@@justlive2809 it wasn’t even a mf triangle. She loved Peeta and that’s it
@@magggmae I know but i think they wasted time with Katniss kissing Gale and the weird relationship they have i know she's a teenager but still that actually got me out of the movie every time
So it’s in the distant future, a post apocalyptic world! After a huge chaos where all the districts caused an uproar and huge war, the way to control everyone was for the capital to force most of the districts into extreme poverty and punish them by making their kids fight it out every year. So that’s why no one has food and is living in ruins in the districts but the technology in the capital is super advanced. All the districts have a certain resource like mining or forestry and some of the districts like 1 and 2 are more rich due to having better resources therefore typically produce stronger kids that go on to win the games. If a kid wins then their district gets extra food and wealth for the year
specifically post-apocalyptic North America (Panem being Pan-America including parts of Canada and Mexico) and the Capitol was moved to Wyoming due to massive flooding (Florida and most of California are underwater) and the Districts radiate out from there. District 1, the Luxury District, is located around the Northwest of the Capitol around parts of Utah, Idaho, and Montana. District 2, the Masonry District, is located in Colorado and New Mexico. And so on. District 12, the Mining District, is in the Ohio area. There's also a 13th District that's said to have been obliterated in the Dark Days of the first rebellion prior to the adoption of the Hunger Games.
thehungergames.fandom.com/wiki/Panem?file=Panem_in_NA.png from an overlay of the district map from the mobile game over North America
Districts 1 & 2 have been training their kids to volunteer so they are the richest District because they have the most Victors.
27:05 It's like a battle royale video game you can't just camp on the outside because the circle pushes you in.
If you read the book, you’ll know that nearly all the cave scenes where the romance develops, Peeta is genuinely in love and Katniss is sick of people dying and will do anything to save the one person she can so she’s playing to the crowd, but slowly starts to develop a real bond with him but even she doesn’t know if it’s romantic or platonic or what. The real romance is most apparent in the second half of catching fire.
Yeah the whole Hunger Games world is pretty much ancient Rome President Snow is pretty much Julius Caesar
Oh god, I just noticed that line "If I'm gonna die, I still wanna be me"
"She's nucking futs" is why I subscribed lol not ten minutes in and I'm here for this channel.
Haha awesome! Thanks!
Definitely one of my favorite film franchises. I've got all the books too. This film was shot in the state where I live☺️ P.S. I can't wait for the next one- it's my favorite!
Mine too
theres gonna be a new one??
@@zizersx6867 by "next one" Sandra is referring to Newfie's reaction to "Catching Fire" which was the sequel to "The Hunger Games"
@@zizersx6867 they are also making new Hunger Games movie based on new book The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
It's prequel about president Snow when he was younger and very early Hunger Games.
I really loved that book so i hope that movie will be great.
one of my favorite movie series’s of all time
It’s funny how at first you had a thought that Katniss and Gale could be bro and sis, because in the books Katniss says that they’re so alike, that they can actually pass for siblings (in fact, they had to pretend to be related at some point in the second book)
You are probably the only reactor I have found that noticed Peeta was the one that pointed to Cato's finger. Everyone always calls Katniss a genius for it. While Katniss is smart, Peeta Mellark is a friggin mastermind.
Jennifer Lawrence is absolutely incredible I don’t care what anyone says
Ah fuck yeah. I was reluctant when I saw newfie and thought thought maybe it was an unrelated name, then hear your voice. You also picked up on some things other reaction youtubers didn't pick up on which i appreciate. Smart bloke. already love ya
Right on! Thanks PB :)
@@NewfieMovieReactions Thanks for the response! Your videos showed up on my feed when I had the flu so my comment is slightly unintelligible, but my family is from Newfoundland and fiance is from PEI so it's nice to find youtubers that have that accent. Watching your videos feels like watching a movie with a friend and I have watched many more since I posted that comment. Comforting content my bud.
@@NewfieMovieReactions Just starting The Princess Diaries vid now while I snooze off and excited to see what you think
@@PB-vb4ob That's awesome! Thanks for sharing that. Yeah, I don't think that there are many Newfie TH-camrs. Haha.
I NEVER thought about the name Peeta and the bread. Cracked me up so hard!
Peeta/Pita Bread! How did I not notice that before?
Hahaha right!?
Also katniss is a type of water plant with edible tubers. In the book narration we learn that her dad told her "as long as you can find yourself, you will never starve" and the scientific name of katniss is "Sagittaria" (like the zodiac archer) because of the arrow shaped leaves. So both Katniss and Primrose are named after plants.
@@alharairah2214 the plant is also shaped as an arrow too
I'm literally so here for you reacting to the hunger games trilogy! One of my fave series ever❤ now with one of the best reactors😊
Wow, thank you! You are awesome.
@@NewfieMovieReactions awh thank you thats so nice, you are as well☺
There are so many young adult dystopian book adaptations but I feel like hungers set the standard for the genre
I am embarrassed as a human that I have never said pita bread in my mind. It never occurred to me 😂
The fact that he keeps calling Peeta “Peter” 😅😅
honestly, this is still one of the best book to film adaptations i have ever seen. i lost count of how many times i've watched all four films. i think what helps these films that isn't really incorporated in other book to film/show projects is the subtlety with the details. it's not in your face. it's not explained by a disembodied voice. you have to really look for the things they snuck in which is how visual art should be. we as the viewers aren't guided by the hand being told everything, we actually have to watch and rewatch, and then watch a few more times which i love! i started making two seconds gifs of the films and it made it a lot easier to spot all of the little things the crew got right. i am still annoyed by katniss' archery though. she's supposed to be a hunter. not an olympic archer. to see the bow technique she should have been using, there's a gorgeous scene devoted to long bow archery in king arthur: legend of the sword. i think there's still a clip up here on yt. it's the only film i can immediately think of that shows everything correctly. i'm convinced the director made the film just for that scene alone.
To think of all the "reality tv" fans who watch this and remain clueless as to the extent they're being mocked.
Hunger Games is in my top 5 movie franchises
My favorite lines from the book after they leave the arena and the doctors are looking over Peeta (he ended up losing his leg)
"I slump down on the floor, my face against the door, staring
uncomprehendingly at the crystal glass in my hand. Icy cold, filled with orange juice, a straw with a frilly white collar. How wrong it looks in my bloody, filthy hand with its dirt-caked nails and scars. My mouth waters at the smell, but I place it carefully
on the floor, not trusting anything so clean and pretty."
Sometimes I miss this era of movies like Hunger Games, Maze Runner it is very unique and most of the franchises have some good ones, the second Hunger Games is my favourite!! The third is okay and 4 is fun.
Peeta telling her to shoot the hand was actually more high stakes in the books, because not only was it the only way to make him let go and not take Peeta down with him, dude was also wearing body armour that covered him everywhere except that spot.
I clicked so fast seeing this! I love this series so much I’m excited to see what you think, I love your reactions
I love seeing people enjoy the movies/ shows I enjoy as well it makes me so happy
Also you can’t really tell but in the end Katniss actually feels bad for Cato, because you can see he’s just another kid who got used in the game. That’s why she puts him out of his misery.
you have one of the best reactions I've seen to this film. I love how much you paid attention to detail! just one thing I want to clarify: Katniss and Gale were never actually dating, they were just childhood friends and nothing more. from reading the books, I I had an idea that Gale probably had a crush on Katniss but never acted on it but they played up the love triangle thing for the movies a lot more.
Book Haymitch hated that Katniss shot the apple and Book Katniss believed the Gamemakers gave her an 11 to make her a target. I'm glad Suzanne Collins changed things up for the film.
"Shoot, then we both go down and you win" is the only thing Cato sais when he dies in the book and actually the only scene in the book which causes me feeling sorry for him is his district partners´(Clove, the girl with the knives) death but in the movie he wasn´t even in that scene. In the movie it was actually what he sais when he dies which makes me feel so sorry for him. And actually those scenes make him my favorite character in the whol Hunger Games series... Any way I´m still trying to find a solution in which all tributes could survive the games...
That's the salute the protesters in Burma and Thailand used.
This movies series is so good! You’re quite a clever viewer, you pay attention to details and anticipate what’s next, you just get it - I love that. You would make an excellent movie critic (professionally). I especially loved your reaction to their first kiss, that was fun! My reaction was probably the same, first time I watched it. Thanks for your post, I can’t wait to check out more of your videos; I just found your channel and decided to watch, glad I did. Happy holidays .
Not entirely sure why the movie made the dog mutts materialise like that but in the books it's implied there's a network of tunnels and infrastructure below the arena and the mutts just come and go through secret access points.
The Careers’ motto was to STRIKE HARD FIRST, SHOW NO MERCY!!!!
“peter looks shit baker” the way i’m wheezing at 12am😵💫
The three fingers is meant as a slight against the Capitol. It's the Districts versus the Capitol. I think the three fingers stand for Thank you, Good Luck and Goodbye.
It's her districts way of saying "We're behind you."
The hand symbol means farewell to the dead. It originated in district 12.
Hunger Games movie are really great and I am waiting for your reaction on what's next in this saga because is fire. Mark my words, it's fire and is gold.
Nuckin futs is my new favorite thing 😂😂
I cried when Katniss volunteer
Hey brother if you didn't recognize him, Gail (Liam Hemsworth) is actually Thor's (Chris Hemsworth's) younger brother.
I didn't know that at the time. But I do now. Thanks!
I was waiting for your reaction.🖤🖤🖤🖤
About the timeline: it is set into a future dystopian era
Great series, I have always liked the sequel best. Can’t wait to see you react to that one.
Yessss I love Catching Fire!
I’ve never clicked a video so quick😂 I’m excited for this one
SO EXCITED FOR THE SECOND MOVIEEEE! CATCHING FIREEEEE
Yes!! Apart from Harry Potter my favorite series, been waiting for this!!
I appreciate the emotion you showed!! So real, so human
I really liked that you concentrated on the plot line and gave actual comments unlike so many other reaction channels! I can’t wait for the Catching Fire reaction!
Never joined a patreon so fast in my life!
6:45 Nuckin Futs 😂😂 this is the exact moment I subbed
Absolutely love your movie reactions ! Thank you for sharing so much of it on TH-cam here (47 minutes !), so we can follow with you most of the important sequences of the movie, I really appreciate that 😊
Can’t wait to see the rest of the series ! (although I know from your interview with Jacob Restituto that it takes a loooot of time to edit, but no problem, I’ll totally wait, as it is really worth it 😉)
Has been mentioned in another comment, but I think you would like the Maze Runner trilogy too, hope you can check it out 👍
U should watch all the movies its very encouraging
Ohh I will be. :)
Okay so with this series of movies the first movie is Directed by a different director than the rest. So I suggest sticking with them! The 2nd movie is one of the best book to movie adaptations out there! Love THG
Here's something you might like.
JLaw starred in the Indie movie "Winter's Bone." It's gritty and realistic. Poor-folks Ozark meth-cooking culture. Her dad in the film is absent. Either on the run from the law, or dead. If he's alive, she has to find him and get him to show at court, so they don't lose their home which was used as a bail bond. Her mother isn't quite right in the head. She has to care for her younger siblings. And she can't be sure who to trust. Sound familiar? In all likelihood, her performance here is what got her cast as Katniss.

AYEEE you noticed the hand signaling yesssss
I did a psychology paper on The Hunger Games! In college !!! One of my best papers
Oh damn I totally missed this one, I was away ! So happy you're reacting to this series !
My Master degree was studying those books from a historical perspective, cause the dad of the author was a soldier in war of Vietna. So she have a perspective about the desensitization of violence by the extremely exposition on television
love how into the hunting you were at the beginning. that’s the Newfie boy coming out!
The next hunger games movie, was my favorite movie for a very long time
In the book, she says the bows at the Capitol felt off from the one she was using in District 12. So, she just had to adjust to them
I’m just here for all the Hunger Games love ❤️
Really liked your commentary. You caught on to things a lot better than most people and see Peeta in the right light from the get go
They didn't put in the movie, but im the books, the mutos are made by the corpse of the death tributes, Katniss see one black little muto mafe by Rue :C
Great video! I like how you got excited about the first parachute that arrived to Katniss
This is my first video from your channel and I'm already HYPED to see you react to Catching Fire.
loved your reaction, felt like i was watching it for the first time myself so thank you for that!
Ahhh thanks! When people ask why would people watch my channel... I say it's because it allows people to experience the joy that they felt the first time they watched the film along with me. It's the fun thing about reaction channels. Which is why I watch so many of them myself! haha.
This has been my favorite series forever!
