    How the first book ends. I'll put it here cause I like it :
    “One more time? For the audience?" he says. His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me.
    I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.”

    If you do read the books you will find this to be one of the most meticulously accurate adaptations on the market in terms of directly translating a book to film. The only thing Lost in Adaptation was Katniss' internal monologue, which was very rich. However it is also recognisable in Jennifer Lawrence's performance which is the important thing.

    • @hgman3920
      @hgman3920 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +13

      The one thing I think the films do better than the books is the worldbuilding. The books are told very tightly from Katniss' first-person perspective. We don't get the scenes in the Capital with Snow in the books, which are marvelous at fleshing out the behind the scenes of the Hunger games - otherwise the books are some of my absolute favorites of all time.

    • @plothole181
      @plothole181 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +15

      Two other things that are lost in the adaptation are Madge Undersee (who not only was the one who gave Katniss the Mockingjay pin, but also had some relevance in the second book) and the idea that the mutts at the end are made to somehow resemble the dead tributes.

      I disagree. This movie was the worst in terms of adapting the book to movie form. They condensed the a 1/3 of the book into 15 mins. The entire cave sequence is off from the books. Little to no build up of Katniss and Peeta’s chemistry. Peeta as a whole sucks in the first movie. He’s meant to be self deprecating, funny and charming…yet in the movie he’s just kind and slightly creepy. “I watched you going home every day…EVERY. DAY.” Also they took away any kind of symbolism for the pin by having it be something random that Katniss gets in the hob and gives to prim first so the pin seems like it’s cursed lol. Also they made out thresh was killed by the mutts but he was killed by Cato.

      Eh. Honestly? They totally removed Peeta's disability in the second film. That's.... really not accurate to the story, and something I find borderline offensive. They would rather have their lead be inexplicably clumsy than explicitly disabled. That's pretty messed up, and something people don't address about the adaptation.

      this is a death game where the districts are put against each other. there's no support, much less respect, for one another, and that's how the Capital likes it. The fact that Katniss did that showed that she wasn't going to let the capitol change her, which is "against the rules"

  • @Skye_Writer
    @Skye_Writer 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +16

    Btw...the reason Katniss is having trouble with the Capitol-made bow is because she didn't train with one; Haymitch wanted her to keep her skills hidden, so she never used one. She's too used to her homemade bow, whereas the Capitol one is a composite recurve bow (Katniss's bow at home does not have the recurve, the ends of the bow that curve back in the opposite direction). The recurve bow is going to have a stronger draw weight and more force...it actually shoots differently than the one she has at home, which is her father's old bow. The more she uses this new bow, the more accurate she will become. (Also, she's been passed out for a couple of days recovering from tracker-jacker venom, she's malnourished, and a little dehydrated...not exactly at her peak.)
    Also, no, she couldn't just make one of her own for use in the games because there is a lot more to it than cutting a piece of wood and tying a string to either end. The wood has to be dried out slowly over a period of several months and properly seasoned before it can be turned in to an adequate bow.

  • @AlbertHuebsch
    @AlbertHuebsch 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +23

    Haymitch is warning Katniss that the Capitol (President Snow actually) doesn't take these things lightly. Now President snow is going to have it in for Katniss. Haymitch has personal experience with Snow's vengeance. He won the 50th Hunger Games and during those games Haymitch made a discovery that gave him an advantage in the fight against the other tribute in the final battle. President Snow didn't like this so he arranged for the murders of Haymitch's entire family, including his girlfriend.

  • @windriver2363
    @windriver2363 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +32

    It's true what everyone says that the books are even more gruesome.
    The most horrifying thing that was left out from the movie was that the dogs at the end were human animal hybrids made from the corpses of the fallen tributes. The capitol's technology is so advanced it's practically magic.
    Also Cato, the last tribute to die, was wearing armor to protect him from Katniss' arrows. So when he falls into the dogs they aren't able to kill him right away and he spends hours be mauled, slowly dying.

    • @Drummer4President
      @Drummer4President 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      They weren’t made from the corpses. The capital used the tributes DNA to give the mutts certain features from the tributes, like their eyes and hair. With the advanced science they don’t need to use the actual bodies. A human body wouldn’t have enough hair to transplant and cover Basically a werewolf size creature.

Great job!

  • @milom7865
    @milom7865 16 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    Whenever katniss misses a shot I’m pretty sure it’s always her first shot using that particular bow. No matter how good you are at shooting, a new weapon will take some getting used to. For the ratings it was a whole new bow to her and with the apples it was the first time we see her use that one since she took it from glimmer. Also the reason it’s so tense when she shoots the apples is because any missed shot is a wasted arrow, as usually you would try to retrieve your arrow since they’re limited but obviously she couldn’t in that situation

  • @hgman3920

    I think Cato deserves some degree of sympathy in his last scene. The "career" tributes from District 1 and 2 come from wealthier districts than 11 and 12 (although still nowhere near as wealthy as the Capital) and train in special academies. (Technically, the academies are illegal, but the Capital looks the other way). When the tributes are old and strong enough, the volunteer to be in the games because it is what they have trained all their lives to do. Think of it like elite high school or college athletes. In his final moments, Cato realizes that in spite of all of his advantages, he's still a tribute who is destined to die for the entertainment of the Capital, just like everyone else (excepting Katniss) in the arena. He was trained to be a part of the system and realized, all too late, that being a cog in the Capital's machine was the best he could ever be.

    just want to say that i've watched a LOT of hunger games reactions, and this might be my fave cause i feel like you actually understood the themes and motivations of the film immediately which is really rare.
    I personally love the ending with Cato cause imo it really humanises him - like sure, he's a bit of a horrible person, but he's also a child who has been groomed by the games from a really young age who has just realised his insignificance within that system.
    also two things i want to mention that aren't really covered in the film: Haymitch is a drunk not only because of his own games (where there were double the contestants due to being a quaterquell), but because of how he won the games as that led to (i think) his whole family and girlfriend being killed by the capitol. he's also head to mentor 2 children every year, by himself, ever since and watch them die, so he now never really gets involved to distance himself from it. that's why when he sees Katniss might actually have a chance he sobers up and tries to be a true mentor for them. The other thing is that the movie does try to push a love triangle a little more than the books, as that's very YA marketable, but in the books Katniss is a scared young girl, who has had to grow up very quickly and will soon have a lot of pressure put on her, and she really doesn't have the time or ability to love anyone because of the horrors she's having to live in. I've always kinda preferred that depiction of her.

    The three finger salute was a sign of respect and goodbye at funerals for district 12 specifically
    Also haymitchs story is really tragic. His fell on a quarter quell, which’s is special rules for every 25 years. In his double the tributes went in. So 4 from each district. He won using the capitals force field, they saw it as defiant and killed his girlfriend and family. Not to mention since he is the only winner , he’s been the only mentor the last 24 years and has seen every one of his tributes die.
    when the victor wins he gets to live in the same district but in a separate location build with nice houses called the victors village . They also get wealth.
    Peeta is actually leading them away from her. All he does in the games is so she can live, he really does have feeling for her.
    Also he burnt the bread on purpose because he knew she was outside starving, he also knew he’d be beaten by his mom but he did it for her. 🥹
    In the books he actually looses his leg.

    Haymitch (their mentor) was in the hunger games 24 years before we get introduced to him, so outside of the trauma of his time in the games at 16, at 2 tributes per year likely 46 of his prior students had died after the time he had to prep them. Compounded by their district while possibly not the worst since even have a winner alive, is structurally likely to lose any given year. So at some point he started more trying not to get attached to the tributes, than being a mentor to them.

    What I really like about people reacting to The Hunger Games movies is: because of the way it's slow to give information the audience tends to have the same thought process as Katniss, like can Peeta be trusted? Is her affection for him true or just for the cameras? Rue reminds us of Prim, ect. It's very cool how they can persuaide our thought process with no internal narraration like the book. I very much recomend reading the books though! They are much more intense (like the mutts are scaryys) and go into more detail on the harsh survival of both the games and outside, it gives a lot more info on Katniss as a character that's less YA female lead trapped in a love traingle (the movies actually do a very good job outside of the love triangle but I have a soft spot for book Katniss).
    Also, I don't know if anyone else mentioned this but going into the next movie just be aware of 2 things. 1. Katniss is still 16/17 and is still providing for her family while dealing with the ptsd from the games. She does not need to think about romance, she just wants the people around her safe, that's all she can think about. And 2. Peeta in the books actually lost his leg to the cut and infection from the game (katniss also lost her hearing from the explosion but the capital fixed that), so he has a prosthetic. They decided to remove that for the movies for whatever reason but still kept his struggles in without the main reason for them. Again I don't think they do too bad but just have it in the back of you mind haha. Excited to see your reaction to Catching Fire! I think it's my favourite!

    Hiiii :) just a few things!
    First of all, I loved this reaction, you got the movie's meaning right, many people don't.
    Second, in the books the creatures (mutts) in the end had features of the death tributes, as the capitol used some of their dna inside the mutts when creating them.
    Lastly, the three finger salute means "respect".

    Honestly even if Peeta was actually helping the careers I don't think it's fair to hate him or anything(not saying you do.) However it is a FIGHT TO THE DEATH. It's understandable to choose self preservation in a life or death situation. One of the last few interactions they had she attacked him for saying he likes her. Why choose to help someone who chooses to attack you even if it was in the heat of the moment. If it was Peeta who slammed her into the wall everyone would be all gung ho about killing him but everyone expects him to just give up and let her win and he was willing but he is 1 in 100,000,000. Not many people would do that.

    Peeta's comment about waiting Katniss out was in fact a ploy to keep her alive. The group would otherwise just keep trying to get her. Peeta was just hoping to extend her life.

    I been obsessed with this series for 13 years and I love finding new people to discuss it with so to answer your questions in detail;
    The 3 fingers is a sign of respect, it's a salute that not many people in district 12 receive. It's also one her father receive before which is why in this moment it's very important. In the books she talks about how only a handful receive this gesture and how she didn't think people noticed her or even like her like that. She thought they just dealt with her.
    The tesserae is a form of food source, if you put your name in the bowl extra times you can get about a grain of food(i think the book said, don't quote me on the grain part) but this comes at a price. So your name is put in once a year at the start of age 12. Then if you do tesserae you'll have extra papers with your name. Gale has 42 pieces of paper in there. I cant remember how much katniss has(they don't mention hers in the movie but if curious i can look it up) but this is why katniss doesn't want prim to do this. She protects her at all cost.
    anyone can be sponsors, the people judging them are game makers. They make the arenas and games and different obstacles for the arena.
    Cinna is a first year stylist in katniss games. The 74th hunger games. He never been a stylist for them and katniss assumes he was force to go with her distract but he CHOOSE to be their stylist.
    Careers are districts 1-4 they usually pair up until they're the last ones and battle it out till the finish or some type of disaster or mutation takes them out
    Remember Cato cove glimmer and marvel are still kids themselves in a world of Properganda. They were trained to do this.your not allowed to train but their district still did.
    The flashback during the running is about her father's death. Their was a mine explosion that killed her father but not just hers it also killed gales father. The two were declare the providers of the family after their father's passing basically the mother turned into a deep depressive person. She was so deep into depression that she couldn't take care of her self katniss or prim. They almost died until peeta threw the bread.
    Rue is 12, yes she just a kid but this is war. Sadly war doesn't choose its victims. I hate that rue died but I'm glad katniss didn't have to kill her. Bc only one can survive.
    Katniss doing the flowers is so important that it's a form of being a rebel in a way to snow. The person that got upset is to believe to be her father fans have assumed.
    Lastly she knew they HAVE TO have a winner. They can't go winnerless.
    I hope this answered the questions!!

      Katniss didn’t KNOW they HAVE to have a winner. By that point she was ready for her and Peeta to die just to stick it to the capital by not letting them have a winner.

    • @erinmckeon123
      @erinmckeon123 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @Drummer4President in the books she literally thinks "they have to have a winner right " and that is WHY she took the berries. Because she hoped that they would have to have a winner since no games had no winner before
      If it didn't work if they ended up dying she thought there was no better rebellion way to do it. But it was to try and survive first.

    Great reaction. I wanted to share a note on the geography of Panem. It exists where the USA is today in a future after some sort of cataclysm happened. The country is divided into 13 Districts plus the Capitol. Katniss is from District 12, which is Appalachia, basically West Virginia. The Capitol, though never expressly stated, I think is where Denver is today.

    19:58 they care about training BECAUSE it's for entertainment. The whole thing is a television show and training makes everything more interesting
    23:07 they're not the sponsors. They are gamemakers. They produce the hunger games
    25:00 they are rating them on a scale from 0 to 12
    39:00 again... It's a television show. It has to be entertaining. Katniss hiking through the woods = boring. Katniss dodging fireballs = exciting
    58:40 Gale can suck it. He never told Katniss about his crush on her so he doesnt get to act possessive now

    I've said this in the past, but it's always true: Donald Sutherland (RIP, good sir) makes a really good villain as President Snow. It's kind of the same paradox with Imelda Staunton/Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter: a delightful actor playing such a vile, despicable character.
    Also....RIP Rue.
    She did not deserve the fate she was given.

  • @veilen
    @veilen 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    The point of the book was to show how out of touch people in capital were, focused on their sick entertainment and celebrity cult. It supposed to highlight reality of western culture where people were more interested in what Kardashian had for lunch than war, human trafficking and famine happening elsewhere in the world. Or even homelessness and poverty in their own country. Yes, *we* are those weirdos with colorful hair and clothes, watching eagerly the new hip, fashionable thing on our screens and ignoring all the bad in the world. *We* let monsters like President Snow rule because we don't care. That was the message.
    Movie focus on the other hand was on the celebrity and entertainment part. The articles and reviews were all about the costumes, special effects, rules of the game, etc. The actors quickly rose to celebrity status themselves. The obsession young people had was exactly what the book described and criticized. The irony was immense but self-realization in media was nonexistent. From perspective of time I can say that it was only the prelude to what we have in social media today.
    The story and lore popularized a battle royale culture in gaming. Gamers imagined themselves as the heroes of the arena but were behaving exactly like those crowds from the capital. And no one cared about the irony either.

    IMO, Katniss bluffed with she and Peata eating the poisonous berries, figuring they would be stopped. Because there has to be a winner. Remember when President Snow explained why they just didn't kill all 24 all at once. Because there has to be hope. Hope is greater than fear. If there is no winner then there is now hope.
