The reason Gale's name was in the reaping so many times is because you can put your name into the bowl extra times in exchange for food rations (explained in the book)
Also Gale has a lot of younger siblings he looks after since his dad also died in the mining accident.
@@aliceros1you talking about the same mining accident as Katniss’ dad
@@nmoney6655 yes, their fathers were miners and died in the same accident.
When that happened, Gale' mother had two others boys and pregnant
It’s very subtly mentioned (maybe twice) in the movies too but I feel you
The number of times your name is put in also increases with age as well
People forget how hard it is for haymitch. He literally mentors and gets close to these kids only for them to most likely die. Every year for the rest of his life.
never thought of that ... thats heartbreaking.
@@Lily-mz1yjyeah. He's been in that train for years trying to help kids to win and them ending up dying in the games anyway. That's why he's so distance with them when they first appeared. I'm sure when he started to get serious on training both of them, he saw hope on both of them that they'll be alive at the end of the game.
I don’t think it’s people forgetting and more that they just didn’t realise that context at first
He was also the only victor for the district so he had no help, support or breaks from that. His ptsd is constantly triggered every year and before peeta and katniss he had to see dozens of his tributes die. His apcoholism honestly makes a ton of sense, and i appreciate how in the books especially the trauma and PTSD the victors struggle with is shown through many ways in a realistic way.
@@radioactive_sunflowerz2450 yeah if I’d had to mentor 2 kids every year and watch them die (Until Katniss and Peeta or Everlark) I’d probably be a functioning Alcoholic too NGL but since I already had a huge problem with Alcoholism in my family I’m trying to stay away from booze now that I’m 21
when haymitch first started mentoring after he won the games, he grew close bonds with the kids he mentored. but after he had to watch them get killed year after year, he stopped getting so attached. which is why we see him so grouchy in the beginning, he didn’t want to get attached to katniss and peeta
The thing you have to understand about Haymitch is that he survived the Hunger Games (traumatic in itself), went home and disobeyed the Capitol slightly and for that his parents, siblings and girlfriend were killed. Because of how poor and under resourced they are in District 12, Haymitch is that area's only surviving past victor meaning he has to attempt to give 2 teenagers what they need to survive each year only to watch them never come home. That's why he drinks and has such a sour, cynical attitude.
:(
This makes for a better prequel film than what we're getting about President Snow.
@@COSun25the prequel film about president snow is based on the prequel book. the book was great, the adaption will be good too!
@@starryeyes5534your point is understandable the movie and band book are both good, but I feel like people don’t really care to see President snow’s origin story. I hope she eventually writes something else, I’d love to read and or see haymitch and finnick’s experience during the hunger games and not after.
@@sonderson6363bet you’re happy now /pos :33
Rue’s part in the story is extremely big. She may have been on the screen for a minimal amount of time but that was the first piece in the progression of a revolt. I love this entire series. It was beautifully written.
yeah FoxFace was incredible at staying alive up until she took peeta's 'berries', even in the books, Katniss had a lot of respect for her and she was sometimes thinking about what FoxFace would do in certain situations.
But also imagine her horror when she knocked with Katniss at the beginning, knowing she got score 11, bet her life flashed before her eyes for a sec 🤭🤭
I don’t know if I’m misremembering the book but I have this memory of Katniss thinking FoxFace ate the berries on purpose. She knew she wasn’t gonna make it until the end and she didn’t want to get her family killed by committing s*icide.
@@SakuraSaskeyNo, Katniss knew she didnt know. The nightlock berries were only found in the woods of District 12, and even Peeta didn’t know what they were. They’re supposed to be extremely rare so it’s probable that it wasn’t in the training.
@andpeg I remember this being a question in one of our reviews of the chapter in the 7th grade. Did Foxface know?
Many of us came to the conclusion that she probably knew because she was well versed with plants and in the training center she was doing something with that if I remember correctly.
@@LyneDayesfoxface didnt only steal peetas berries, she also stole their other food. clearly she was hungry and not suicical
@@LyneDayesif I remember correctly her being really really good at identifying plants was a movie invention... I don't think that it was a thing in the books but to be fair I haven't read the book since I was in high school myself a decade ago.
I’m not sure if someone mentioned it in a comment already, but it’s actually illegal in Panem to be training the tributes but the career districts 1, 2, and 4 (4 is only ever classified as district in the books) still did it anyways. The lower the district number (1, 2, 3, etc.) the more money and resources they had, which is another reason why 12 wasn’t training their youth.
District 12 wasn't even allowed to hunt. Katniss had to sneak around and hide her bow. The career districts peacekeepers must have been far less strict.
District 3 was pretty broke and oppressed. They were a more rebellious District, so they got worse treatment by The Capitol. They probably feared their people’s intelligence as well
@@mjamitche5245The careers peacekeepers are less strict because they’re from the career districts themselves. But district 12’s were definitely lax in the first book. It was only after she won did they become more strict.
The second movie my favorite, which is funny cause usually they get worse . And they are some of the best dystopia movie adaptions by far. They would be better if they hadn’t split the last book into two parts for no reason. Book are superior, obviously. I’m so glad you’re watching these!
The reason why Gale's name was in there so many times is because families can get food rations if the eligible children put their names in. That's in addition to the required 1 name per year. So a 14 year old girl that got 10 rations last year and 10 rations this year would have 23 entries. That just goes to show you how shocking it was that Prim got chosen because it was her first year.
I thought they only counted the times they did it for that year alone. Didn't Katniss have around 18 or 20 for the year?
@@LyneDayes No it was a cumulative 20 entries. 16 year-old Katniss applied for herself, her sister and mother for every year since she was 12. Gail had brothers and his mom so, he had more entries.
I am not sure exactly how it goes, but in the books they talk about how mockingjays are basically a symbol of rebellion against the capitol because jabberjays were made to spy on the people and report back to them (you’ll see more of them in the second movie), but ofc the people found out and started reporting false info. I forget exactly what happened, but basically the capital chucked a deuces to the jabberjays and they mated with mockingbirds to create mockingjays who can’t completely replicate full human sentences but can mimic sounds and essentially flipped the capital off by finding a way to survive. Hence, the symbolism. Hope that made sense 😂
Yeahy pretty accurate. They set he jabberjays free thinking they wouldn't survive in the wild so the survival and existence of their descendants alone is a thorn in the capitols side.
I will never get over Katniss bear clawing Peeta after he came back from the interview 😭
catos final speech makes me feel sympathy.
the careers (district 1 and 2 in movies) - they were taught to kill at 12 until 18 (''bringing pride to my district'') and all thought it was an honour to serve in the games , but in reality they were all puppets sent off to die. in that moment he realised. in the novels him and clove had a close relationship as he ran to her as she was dying and held her? -which gives him some humanity despite his cruel behaviour to others due to anger etc and in that moment he realised too. when she died someone commented how their theatre clapped and gave a standing ovation , mirroring how our reality mirrors the capitol audience - they were all scared children and the capitol children masked it with arrogance. met galas too etc. you should watch their interviews (deleted scene) - it gives you some insight to their characters. growing up i liked clove due to her confidence and skill and foxface. foxface was seen in the training room to be tested on plants so its thought her death was a suicide - a painless death compared to facing district 12 , 11 or 1
Exactly. They knew no better as they were basically indoctrined from an early age to win and bring pride to their dictrict. Being happy about his death or any of the tributes deaths makes us no different from the Capitol.
I love my man, Peeta. Also how the story between Katniss and Peeta develops
Also, Effie is my fav character, she is her own person and always trying to be positive.
no offense to your opinion, but it’s easy for effie to be positive when she isn’t the one going into a death battle and she has a cushy capital life to return to. and the moment she had all her fancy clothes and wigs taken away at district 13, she pouted and complained.
@@moonheartskyyeh in the book she never even went to 13
The tributes as punishment is a reference to the story of Theseus and the Labyrinth, where they sent conquered youths to feed the Minotaur as a power flex.
In the books and movie, it is a way to pit the districts against each other and act as a state terrorism act of deterrence. If they can already do that to kids, imagine what they can do to people who try to fight them
32:35
The reason for why Katniss and Peeta were going to eat the Nightlock was an effort to deprive the capitol of a victor in the Hunger Games
The reason Haymitch only sent soup not medicine for Peeta is because the better the item, the more expensive it is to send. Plus items get more expensive the further into the game you go. So he may not have had enough at this point, and/or (idk if this is a theory or confirmed or what) he could have been saving money to use only on Katniss because he thought she had a better chance of winning
“what is going on? i was boutta say is we getting a papsmear?” lakia you got me dyiingg lmao love your videos
You asked what they did with the bodies. In the book the people running the Games turn them into monster dogs with human-ish faces. The dogs near the end of the movie are actually fallen tributes. 😬 Just like they made tracker-jackers and jabber-jays, they use the genetic material from the tributes and mix it with powerful dogs to hunt the last few tributes left alive until there is just one survivor. At least, they did in this Hunger Game.
They didn't do it with their bodies just with their genetics. Katniss even pointed out herself that she saw Rues eyes in the mutt but that it wasn't Rue and she commented that they wouldn't go as far as to use the tributes bodies but the mutts they did create were a cruel invention in themselves. In short, they knew what they were doing
@@LyneDayes Ah, thank you for the clarification. It has been a while since I have read the book and clearly, my memory has faded a bit. 😏
i loveedd the HG series when I was 12. its crazy how im above the maximum reaping age now - time flies. when you think about it , its an insane plot - but it happens now when it comes to war (as the books were based off of children going to war i believe)
The war references got added for later books as story shifted, I think the first at least beyond the totalitarian regime references she said was based off reality TV and what people will do for entertainment that blurs ethical lines and sometimes ends up being straight up evil in the name of consumerism and keeping the masses happy, as people and even children become products.A lot of that got lost in translation as you can imagine it’s hard to have a message like that that runs counter to commodification of people in even movie industry
I remember in the book, after Clove died, Cato did come for her and basically cradled her dead body begging her to stay alive. I really wish this happened in the movie, it shows that Cato isn’t such a feelingless human
Yes, because Clove died another way in the book. In fact, she's still alive when Cato finds her and died in his arms
@@a.g.demada5263 reminded me of what happened when Rue died because Katniss held her until she died
@@nmoney6655 yes, almost (I mean because Rue didn't deserved to die)
I actually read the books before watching the movies
There's a number of differences between the books and the movies, like how Katniss got that mockingjay pin, for example
I watched the movies first when I was younger and read all the books this year!! I was shocked at how many differences there are and how many important details actually were left out! Although I still love both, the books had so much more to them
@@swampratguttergoblin Ikr, including the timing of when we meet Haymitch
I think it was really well adapted to the screen though. Hunger Games 1 and 2 were good movies, despite the books being better. It was Mockingjay that they screwed up.
@@mjamitche5245 true, despite the glaring differences between the books and the films, they were relatively close
@@swampratguttergoblinone difference that surprised
Me is in the first hunger games book they reference johanna mason.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE GIRL !!!
Also can I just say that katniss growing fond of peeta Is one of the sweetest things ever because she saw the GOOD in him, He With such a sweet and selfless person and Katniss wanted to protect that
CRYING
peeta and katniss are my favorite couple ever, their type of love is absolutely 100% the soulmates trope !! it’s a super slow burn (but the second movie is the one where their romance really happens)
Fr!! And as an ENFP, the ISTP x ENFP trope never gets old! They're so cute!!
23:22 See, this is the kind of moment that makes me really appreciate what Susanne Collins did when she wrote these books. A few seconds ago, you were talking about how crazy it is that everyone watches the broadcast at all times, placing bets and being invested etc. Now, you see Glimmer dead and you say "I do not feel bad". Because she's a bad person, and hellbent on killing, and she's a murderer, right? But she's a kid - 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 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, 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 - you start 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.
OH YAYY! I was hollering when I saw the title im so glad you’re reacting! love my man Peeta 4L
Yess Peeta🫶🏾
@@LakiaJaiTV they dont have good showers in the districts Peeta and Katniss are probably really dirty
@@smdownh9 Who asked?
@@drewmcgary2872 pay attention @lakiaJaiTV talked about it when told Katniss they have to hose her down again
I maintain that The Hunger Games franchise is the best adaptation franchise
Honestly 😭😍 it’s iconic
The phrase “ He ate with his makeup” in that context is just… 💀
"He's just Peter with a little accent"
ICONIC!!!!
This whole situation with the sponsors is similar to adoption. People only sponsor the kids who are cuter, have some talent, class, or make a very good impression 😂😂😂
I love your laugh bro😭‼️‼️
Thank you 😅
Same, it’s a cackle/ guffaw which I relate to 😭😂😂😂
The reason Haymitch sends soup instead of the life-saving medicine that Peeta needs is because everything they send costs money that they raise from Capital citizens and the more something is needed the more expensive it is, so food is not that expensive because people can hunt for it but life-saving medicine you can't find that in the wild so it's too expensive for Haymitch to provide them.
The Mockinjay symbolizes hope in this world, cause At the time of the rebellion, the capital created genetically modified birds to repeat everything they heard and placed them in areas they believed to be rebel bases, This way the bird would hear the conversations and repeat it to the capital, like a kind of spy
Now, when the rebellion was eradicated, the capital went on a hunt to kill all the birds, and they thought they had killed them all, but in fact some of them survived by breeding with Mockinjays
The bird symbolizes hope because even though the capital wanted to kill it, it found a way to survive
Ayeeeeee let's gooooo, the Hunger Games movies to this day held their own as thee best dystopian trilogy, I totally recommend reading the books too
I didn't see anyone else commenting on the ending: They actually do get a new home in the Victor's Village along with wealth and special monthly packages for the next year for the whole district filled with foods. Peeta was commenting on their relationship. Because she doesn't know her own feelings and he is realizing that she was pretending during the games more or less. Hope that helps!
They really tried to make this series like Twilight and have done it injustice and could not find ways to actually explain the dynamics. Oh another point, the reason why Haymitch couldn't send that medicine for Peeta is because it is too expensive and prices go up as the game goes on.
I thought it was just the winner who got monthly goods but the district got food for the year.
@@LyneDayes the monthly goods are mostly food is how it is desrlcribed. The winners for life and the district for a year
i think hypothetically, the hunger games was to punish the districts (remind them that the capitol can take their children and kill them on TV) but also that it is an outlet for violence and that will stop future rebellions as well. great reaction, you are so funny!!!!
About Peeta's mom having no hope for him, gurl you are so wrong for laughing 😂. You made me laugh too even though I know from the books how abusive Peeta's mom was, and now I feel bad lol.
I honestly only remember the first movie, and even then, i only remember some key scenes
Exactly me lol same 😭
I’ve been waiting for this 😊
Same
2:20 the objective is to entertain and unite the capital and strengthen it. They will control some districts through fear and others through fun
They actually do get to live in a new house and with economic comfort! It's just now they're scarred for life :')
You were literally me this entire video 😂😂 the Capital was wrooooongg lol
Looolll im done with all of them 😭
Nah this commentary has me in tears, the way she ate up Peeta & his mamas lack of faith
11:45 I haven’t read the books but I know from Tiktok that there are 3 districts known for winning and I’m pretty sure training people. Also district 12 is the poorest district out of them all which puts them at a major disadvantage.
Omg not you thinking Katniss was getting a pap smear, im crying😂😭🤣💀
Such a classic! Love the entire franchise! Your reactions are the best too… 💯🥰
actually in the book Rue doesn't have a dad i think the guy just tired to see kids getting killed
The three fingers' sign is used in District 12 for saying goodbye to someone they like or admire
These movies are incredible! Totally going to read the books. Love your reactions always!✌🏻💖
i heard in the book Peta looses a leg and gets a artifical leg
Based on her survival strategies, Lakia would be Fox Girl in the Hunger Games. Hey, she's a great character and made it pretty darn far!
You were right about Gale it’s more clear in the book \Movie but basically he’s in part responsible for her sister getting killed in the Capitol because he helped create the bombs that killed her little sister and she basically couldn’t be with Gale because of that but Peeta (according to the books) actually called him her dandelion in the spring which is weird because he saved her life when she was 12 by throwing her some bread and then the next day she saw a dandelion and made dandelion salad and then she started hunting to feed her mom and younger sister
Your editing style is very 2016 and I love it and find it comforting😌
4:28 - girll i love your commentary - id love to talk with you someday haha. its not about honour - the sacrifice is more so repayment for the past rebellion against the government - families have to sacrifice their sons and daughters to repay for past wrongdoing
11:25 lakiaa girllll
I LOVE the hunger games! (I love your videos by the way)❤
Im watching the franchise for the first time too! So, im very excited youre doing this too!
haymitch sent soup because the nearer the end of the games the more expensive it is to send even simple packages, you would need a lot of sponsers to fund medicine for peeta that late (a lot more is explained in the book) the mockingjay is the child of a jabberjay and a mockingbird one of which were weapons the capitol created/used in the original war :)
recommending 'SKAM' it's a norwegian anthology series abouth youth and figuring out who you are (each one is an unrelated story so you can watch them in any order; each protagonist is different and some side characters are recurring but you don't miss out on anything plot-wise).
i specifically recommend S3 ('isak and even's story')!!
Where would I go to watch it? It looks like there are multiple versions of it, Spanish, Italian, French, and American. Which version did you watch?
@@teresaellis7062I would watch Skam Norway, the original skam
I can’t stop laughing 😂❤
Lakia is so cute when something romantic happens 😂 how can you not smile when she giggles like that?
I just love Lakias energy I was having a bad day and i started laughing the second I was watching
I was so pissed that the show really didn’t talk about the trauma and abuse, Peeta had to with stand with his mother. I wish they would have showed it a bit more, because you would have connected to Peeta sooner and deeper.
While there are differences from the books, the movies are actually quite good. They are my favorite adaptations of book sagas alongside Lord of the Rings.
Whenever I rewatch this movie, I'm reminded of how many famous actors started out here. Like this is a STAR STUDDED CAST!! Miss Orphan, Hugie from the Boys, LENNY KRAVITS???
the utter excitement i had for this upload
I feel like I need to make a TH-cam video like PowerPoint presentation style, to dissect/prove that Katniss was in love with Peeta the entire time not just when they went to the hunger games together. The thing about Suzanne Collins is she put it all in the subtext but if you are paying attention while reading it is all there. It’s just not said overtly because that is trite. 🙄
There’s at least a strong connection she feels for him since when he threw that bread! Yeah there’s Gale and she had a stronger connection to him because they bonded from their dads deaths and supported each other but after finally reading the book I realized that she deep down was always intrigued by Peeta. She was mostly keeping him at a distance because once in the arena they’d have to be enemies and she was protecting herself. By the end of the game it was clear that she had deeply bonded with him but he pushed her away when he thought she was only acting close to him for survival. I think for katniss she didn’t know how to not be in survival mode so she doesn’t quite know what she actually wanted to do vs what she had to do to survive when they overlap.
ur high pitched laugh makes by day
Oh how I have been waiting for theseee
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UPPP 🎉🎉😋😋🤸🏽♀️
I'm psyched for SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES. The book as not really as cinematic (I am not sure how they will do it as a movie) as THE HUNGER GAMES was. But this is an interesting series to revisit.
Also in the book the wolf things at the end were the dead tributes bodies turned into these mutts it would’ve made this scene so much more shocking and powerful
ive been waiting for this review since binging your divergent videos!! these are much better and im so excited for ballad of songbirds and snakes, esp after reading the book!!!
Oh my goodness yes! The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was so good! And terrifying. Snow started out a such nice kid, but choice by choice he lost his goodness until....😢😭 Just goes to show how each of us need to keep an eye on the choices we make and what direction those choices are sending us! It definitively didn't help him that he had a terrible mentor (the geneticist) who really messed him up!
Lakia has one of the most adorable giggles I've ever heard!
I’ve never been this early to an upload
11:08, this had me dying for like 5 minutes🤣😭!
Where have you been all my life??? Ur so funny
even tho some of them deserved to die i can't help but feel sorry for them
they were just kids who grew up in a fu**** up system that told them that kill people will bring respect and honor to them and their district and when you see the way they are treated you kinda get why they will want to be respected by the Capitol..
some of them literally trained for it they contributed to their own death (even tho the Capitol have the final word)
Oh thank goodness this is a rewatch. I was like you never seen hunger games lmao 😂 I need to do one too even though yes its a prequel.
its insane how hunger games is a parallel with met gala and Hollywood lol
Awesome video as always!
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSS
I DONT KNOW I DIED WHEN SHE SAID I think she will be favourite because she was the only one who volunteered WHEN THE DISTRICT 12&4 ALWAYS VOLUNTEER like there is 6 other people who volunteered for FUNNN then she thinks she the only one lol
Haymitch has to pick which tribute to get sponsors for
You know Lakia? You have a real mom vibe especially my mom
It’s so funny she doesn’t realize they’re not in a real forest
Wait Wes Bentley plays Seneca, he played in AHS: Hotel 😂❤
I love these movies so much
Since nobody answered it, they take the fallen tributes bodies and turn them into the mutts at the end
HEY PLEASE DO Bring It On: All or Nothing 2006!! I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY AND HALLOWEEN MOVIES❤❤🎃🎃
You should definitely watch Daisy Jones & The Six, it's a series about a band with Sam Claflin as one of the main actors!
MY FAV SO EXCITED FOR THIS
Pls do h2o just add water next
omg yes I love that show
Love this movie so much that every few months I go back and watch the franchise because I need my girl on fire 🔥 ❤
The Knov reference 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 👌
Fun fact: At the time at the start of this movie, the hunger games had already killed 1,703 tributes in the games!
I love the Bible verses!! I want to add them as well when I start TH-cam!! Also, love the Hinger Games❤
She said the country of padam 😂😂😂
Love your videos!! 😊I was wondering if you ever considered reacting to Stardust? Or is that a movie you've seen already?
I love my siblings, family and friends BUT you won’t find me volunteering. I love y’all but you’re getting the three finger salute 🫡
30:30 People of panem: Imagine how tired we are of it. Imagine how tired we are. XD
Can we discuss how Lenny Kravtiz was 48 whole years old when he played cinna?!?!?!
