In the books, Peeta burnt the bread on purpose so they couldn't sell it and would have to throw it out, knowing he'd be beaten as a result. He took a beating from his mother to be able to feed Katniss the burned bread
Haymitch won the 50th hunger games, which was a “Quarter Quell,” meaning they had twice as many tributes. Haymitch humiliated the game makers when he won, so president snow had his family and girlfriend murdered. For the last 24 years Haymitch, as the only living victor, and therefore only mentor of district 12, had to watch every tribute from 12 die. If you know his backstory, it’s understandable that he became a drunk.
Haymitch is the only character that gets a full pass for being an alcoholic. Hell, after what hes been through I feel like he needs to switch to something stronger!
One of the things, Peeta did not get his injury because they got bored of him, he got it protecting Katniss when she was hallucinating, the Peeta part, him telling her to run was real, Cato "the bad guy" was coming Peeta stay behind and fought him to give Katniss some time to get away. Also the bread is so important in the book because Katniss saw the act as Peeta saving her and her family lives because they had not eaten in days so from the very beginning she has a soft spot for Peeta because if it was any other guy who was picked to go in the games with her, she would have gone at the games all alone. It has to be said Gale and Katniss are just FRIENDS, some people just assume they are together but they are not, so she does not owe him anything, yes Gale likes her but he does not even come to the realization until like 5 months before katniss goes into the games and does not say anything to Katniss about him liking her.
I've said this in the past, but it's always true: Donald Sutherland 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.
Did you realize that Lenny Kravitz is the one playing Cinna, the guy who dresses Katniss and Peeta in the flame costumes and gives Katniss the mockingjay pin just before she goes into the arena? He's one of my favorite characters, and his costumes for them get even better!
16:18 he intentionally burned that batch so that he could give it to Katniss on the sly and caught hell for it from his mother. That extra meal when they were almost hopeless literally changed the Everdeen's fortunes and saved their lives. Unfortunately Katniss is proud and is so inoculated in "nobody does good for no reward" that she's been doing the math about what she owes Peeta ever since, and is more than a little pissed that she doesn't understand WHY
Like Katniss, I'm an extremely introverted, quiet person. You are so right about people getting the wrong impression about people that don't talk much. I had a best friend that thought bad of me at first too. 💖
Most likely you learn about your surroundings and the ppl around you before opening up. You can’t trust everyone because not everybody intentions are good
The thing with Hamisch is he won the Games long ago. When you win you are a Mentor and help the Tributes the following years. I'm sure going through what he did messed him up and made him apathetic and a drunk to cope with what he did to survive.
If you read the book, he suffered more than just PTSD. He won the 50th Hunger Games which was a quarter quell. His actions embarrassed the Capital. Snow had his girlfriend and family murdered. As a mentor for 24 years, he had to watch each tribute from his district get killed. His life was a living hell.
🤣🤣 The Peeta Hate to rooting for him at the end was such a journey 🤣🤣 fun reaction! yeah Peeta’s character shines in the second. And for Rue- normally riots don’t happen with the deaths, but Katniss was so respectful and kind for a different district that struck a chord with 11.
on to the next ones Devin they only get better. The reason why Haymitch did not want to help them in the beginning is because he was the only winner alive from district 12. They do the games every year so every year his tributes would have died, would be mad depressing.
Yeah, when you do the math on it, it's heartbreaking. There have been 23 Games since the one he won, so with two tributes from 12 each time, that's 46 more kids he's watched die, in addition to the 47 he had to outlive in his own Games (which had double the tributes because it was the 50th year of the games). And then there's the history they never fully divulge in the movies, about Haymitch's entire family being killed because the president didn't like the WAY he won his Games. In other words, he's a closed off alcoholic due to DEEP and ongoing trauma.
@@angelalurtz3638 right - the trauma and loss is so deep. Same with Joanna - they killed everyone she loved bc she wouldn’t cooperate with their trafficking her.
Glad you started this journey. This franchise is very good. It’s only a few steps that would have made it excellent. Thanks for providing us great content. You keep making, I’ll keep watching. Have a great weekend everybody.
Omg yes it was such a breath of fresh air! Even his reaction style was fun to watch. Sometimes people talk waaaay too much like they are trying to fill in the empty space, and sometimes they dont talk at all. He was the perfect reactor in that he gave us great commentary and reactions while being able to listen to all the key dialogue
I know you don’t care since it’s the movies but the movies do Peeta mad dirty, like they take away 80% of his personality and strengths and it’s why I don’t blame people for not caring about him much. Don’t know why they messed him up this badly because he is the personality, very witty and has the audience all over him. Knows how to play the game and saves Katniss life multiple times, which is a common theme since Katniss feels that she’ll never stop owing him, and he doesn’t struggle during training at all. He excels at hand to hand combat and with a knife, whereas Katniss is weak at hand to hand combat but has that range with a bow.
The movies know how to alter the storytelling to keep the tension and conflict up, keeping it from Katniss's perspective and not being sure whether Peeta is betraying her or not keeps viewers guessing and keeps conflict rising. That's why they don't let us in on Peeta's motivations in the same way the books do. Though they maybe could have more clearly established afterwards that he had been trying to protect her.
@@ceceliam9014 that’s exactly my point. Katniss in the book also thinks and it’s portrayed to her that peeta is betraying her. But it also still doesn’t do him dirty and explains everything he done, and didn’t add scenes that make him look weaker. Taking away his personality isn’t really a good movie adaptation either.
@@clover2739 Yeah, I see your point. Though books have more explaining time. Movies don't tend to have the same time for exposition. These are some of the best book to movie adaptations in history, imo. But yeah, there's definitely reasons the books are always better, and some things that got lost in translation.
@@ceceliam9014 I understand that, but a lot of these things don’t need long exposition nor is his book personality something that had to be cut out either. They even added in a scene that wasn’t there which made him look weaker, which they could’ve used to for this instead
To be fair, rising up isn't easy. The people are starving. They have no weapons. They're worked to the bone. The capital is already taking their children which proves that they will do anything and they completely destroyed District 13. It's understandable that they feel helpless to protect their children. All they feel they can do is hope and pray that their child isn't the one chosen. Also, context from the book. The three fingers to the mouth then towards a person is a funeral gesture in District 12. It's used to honor the dead and their family. That's why it's so morbid and why Katniss does it when Rue dies. In the book she directs the gesture towards Rue, not the cameras, as she never knows for sure where the cameras are or when they are showing her. But I get that the movie had to make some changes and couldn't add every detail
Backstory Haymitch also showed them up and they killed his girlfriend and family, then he had to mentor many tributes from his district that always died until Katniss and Peeta. So yes you never win the game and there are consequences if you show them up. What saved Katniss and Peeta in a way was how her story of love made them capital favorites and her sacrifice for her sister made her a favorite so the president didn’t want to make her a martyr.
I enjoyed your reaction! One reason that the districts havent revolted again despite this is that one district couldnt do it alone and there is no communication between districts. The only time people from different districts see each other or talk is when the children are killing each other. The only exception really being that most peqcekeepers are from district 2. The care that Katriss showed to Rue was the first real spark because she showed such care. Tributes sometimes team up, but Katness risked herself to stay with Rue and then give her a little memorial. The second in the book but not movie was Rue's district sending Katness bread. It would have been hard for them to pull together the money for them and they sent it to a district other thsn there own and they even had a kid still in there they could have sent something to instead. Thresh saving and sparing Katness was a rebellion too. And what could they do to her? They could kill her family like they have other "victors" or... well, watch the next one and see. ;)
Petta, join the alliance to protect Katniss. Being in the group he can control some of the things they do to try to kill her. He ends up getting stabbed in the leg protecting her from Kato when he told her to get out of there. The books gives you more information then the movies and really shows Petta's scarifices. #TeamPetta
Really enjoyed this reaction, subscribed so I can watch the rest of the series! District 11 (Rue and Thresh) pooled all of their money together to send her some bread when she was starving in the books after Rue died and she gave her the memorial. The three finger salute is something district 12 does at funerals; it is a way to honor and say goodbye
i can not tell you how many times i’ve seen this movie, i can almost quote the whole thing and it NEVER gets old. it never ages badly. it never fails to make me cry. it will always have a special place in my heart. i love this series so much!
Not sure if anyone covered this but the mutts at the end are created out of the fallen tributes DNA. In the book katniss noticed that they have the same eyes and the same color for as the tributes hair. Also Cato has a suit on that cannot be sliced so the scene where the mutts are attacking him in the book last longer and finally katniss shoots him to put him out of his misery and he begs her to do it. Last note as others said they did Peeta dirty in the movies. He is Katniss's rock and keeps her grounded. She is strong and quick in battle but he helps her stay sane and not lose herself.
Throughout Peeta is working toward saving Katniss, it’s always about her for him. The books make it clearer and he’s even more charming in the books, very clever wit.
Something the movies talked about in passing is the fact that your name gets put into the reaping once a year from the time you turn 12 to 18; by the time you're 18, you'll have your name in the reaping 7 times. Then you can also put your name into the reaping an extra time for tesserae (a years worth of grain and oil) each year for each member of your family, and it's cumulative too. So by the time Katniss volunteered (she was 16), she had her name in the reaping a total of 20 times (5 for each of the years she had been of age, then 15 more because she took tesserae every year for all three members of her family). She refused to let Prim take tesserae too. Gale came from a larger family, and he was older than her; he was 18 during THG, he has 5 family members including himself, and he put in for tesserae for his family every year so by the time of the 74th Hunger Games, he had his name in the reaping 42 times. The fact that Prim's name was called on her very first reaping when she only had her name in once was just horrible luck.
My one and only complaint about this movie is how they depict time. In the book they spent MONTHS in the game. In the movie it feels like it goes by in a week or two. Great movie, enjoyed the reaction let’s see the rest!
@@deving9793dude who commented is wrong, everything seems to take closer to real time because of the heavy emphasis on Katniss’s thought and survival techniques which we dont see in the movie because she’s not the type of person to talk a lot
21:55 thats exactly right. Introverts are considered more trustworthy and likeable to more people than extroverts for exactly that reason - you don't say much and therefore you rub less people the wrong way and keep them curious. Why I would absolutely never get sponsors in this game! smh i have strong opinions I always speak them
The basis of the hunger games was an intellectual exercise to come up with a punishment so horrible that your enemies would never dare oppose you again.
I had my youngest sister watch Hunger Games. She fell in love with Rue. When Rue died, she cussed me out for having her watch it. She cried like a baby over Rue dying. She didn't watch anymore of the movies tell the last one came out. It took me that long to convince her to finish the series. She liked to act tuff, but she was a big softie.
About the bread: He actually burnt it on purpose, knowing his mom would make him feed it to the pigs, and that he'd be able to leave some for Katness. He also knew he'd get beaten for it, which he was.
The movie don't make justice to Peeta. In the book Peeta's mom is abusive, she hit him for burning the bread, at the next day at school Katniss saw Peeta with a black eye. The bread that Peeta throw to Katniss was and heavy and expensive bread full with nuts. It's believe he burned on purpose to throw it to Katniss. And they were eleven at the time. Katniss was dying of famine and thinking about prostituting herself to have money to feed her little sister, that bread was the hope and motivation she needed to live.
I went to watch this movie with my partner when it came out and i was not happy to see it (was kind of dragged to the cinema), but she had loved the books and assured me id love it, by the end of the movie i was in tears a few times, and was eagerly awaiting the next movies we knew were coming. this is epic series 1-4. after, its typical hollywood sadly imo. Looking forward to the rest with you. Peace from UK
For the record they're not shown in the movies but Peter also has big brothers one who is old enough that he could take the spot he's I believe 17 or 18 and the other brother is too old to volunteer but neither one even flinches at him being called
The reason that the people have rioted over this is that they have spent the last 74 years being beaten down. They are all basically starving. In the books Rue talks about how she rarely has enough to eat at home, and Katniss responds that she would have thought being from an agricultural district Rue's family would have more access to fresh food. Rue asks, "Do you get as much coal as you need just because your district mines it?" and Katniss realizes that of course every district has it as bad as her district does. Everything that gets harvested or mined or made is sent to the Capitol first, so that they get everything _they_ need/want first, and then the Districts get the leftovers rationed out to them. Disctricts 1 and 2 are on the best terms with the Capitol and are the closest districts, so the "career tributes," the kids who actually are allowed to train with weapons and be ready for combat come from Districts 1 and 2, and to keep those districts on their side, the Capitol gives them the best and the most of the rations. Everywhere else, they are starving, they have to rely on the government rations to get by, which means their names get added to the reaping bowl...and only families who still have kids between 12 and 18 can do that. If your kids are too young for the reaping or if they are already grown up, you have no one in the house who can get that extra food for you. Katniss and her family were starving because her dad died when she was 11 and she wasn't of age yet to sign up for the rations. And no one has any weapons. This is why Katniss has to keep her bow hidden in the woods. Only the Peacekeepers are allowed to have ANY kind of weapon, and you saw what happened to the rioters in District 11; that got put down real quick.
Rue’s death will always be one of the saddest moments in hunger games. I cried my eyes out when I read it and when I saw it. You can feel the pain and guilt in Katniss, holding this innocent child who never should’ve been there, none of them should, and watching her slip away. And then when Katniss put flowers on her body, it made everyone realize, hey these are kids and this is wrong. Rue was the start of Katniss’s flame for the rebellion.
As much as you enjoyed this one, you will LOVE the next one. This one's really good, but the second film improves on the first in every aspect about ten times over. It always blows people away how much better it is, because the first one is good enough you just hope the sequel is about as good....but it manages to take it to a whole nother level. It's the film that convinced me I needed to read the books, and I'm glad I did. The story takes some VERY interesting turns, and has some frighteningly realistic parallels to our own society and lives.
I just found your channel after watching reactions with you and your lady. I love this series and am glad you got into the first film. You asked "What can they do now" since they won and got to go home... you'll see. 😅
Glad you reacted to this movie, I wondering when you would. I also was wondering how you’d react to Cato (the skilled and crazy white boy). The fact that you were in the US Army, I KNOW for a fact that you came across gung-ho dudes like Cato during your service. LOL 😂
Please do the entire movie series, that's one thing other youtubers lack. They all do one or two and then just stop for no reason. You're reaction was brilliant
Great movie and another great reaction. I can't wait til the next one. One suggestion: If you could turn the volume on the movie up more and turn your volume on your microphone down that would be better. I could barely hear the movie and then when you spoke I had to turn it down. I love your excitement but my eardrums didn't lol
Hope you do the next movies, I wanna see your reactions. They are all phenomenal and a great adaption to the books, even tho the books are better and give more detail and explanation and some things were edited out.
They don’t specify when this takes place but it IS in the future and Panem is what remains of the US after a massive flood event wiped out most coastal areas.
Keep going there is more to see. Just FYI Haymitch had 49 other people die in his games for him to win and he has had to mentor 2 kids every year to die in front of him for 24 years. Being a "fucking drunk" in that case seems pretty reasonable. He did convince the game makers to change the rules to let both of his tributes live this time. It's a difficult series of books to experience written to teach middle school students about politics and war and published by Scholastic Books.
By the way if you want to look up who plays Effie trinket online her name is Elizabeth Banks and Blakely I've been seeing her in oil of Olay commercials she's actually quite pretty she took a major downgrade playing Effie butt cheeks in mind when she was like in this movie as you move on in the series she grows up a lot in this series

They're both 12 years old, and Peeta got a black eye for this by his mother.

@sonderson6363 Otherwise known as a "movie".
Haymitch won the 50th hunger games, which was a “Quarter Quell,” meaning they had twice as many tributes.

For the last 24 years Haymitch, as the only living victor, and therefore only mentor of district 12, had to watch every tribute from 12 die.

Haymitch is the only character that gets a full pass for being an alcoholic. Hell, after what hes been through I feel like he needs to switch to something stronger!
@@ChaChaRealSm00thdo you know how good alcohol is? I give most alcoholics a bit of a pass.
@@teeheeteeheeish you have to be an alcoholic to think alcohol actually taste good
@@lolly1405 it is not about the taste, but the effect of the alcohol
No explain what a quarter quell actually is . Every 25 years they get a special arena etc or they gonna be confused
A lot of people didn’t watch this because they thought it was a movie for teenagers, but it really isn’t. The books were even better.

Nothing broke me more than when Rue died. I bawled like a baby.
It's still difficult to watch.
Yea that was the most heart wrenching part of the movie
I turned it off the first watch But I ended up finishing it later had to and I'm glad I did
I've seen the series so many times and I cry every time 😭 Such a pure soul

The three finger salute is something district 12 does at funerals; it is a way to honor and say goodbye
i can not tell you how many times i’ve seen this movie, i can almost quote the whole thing and it NEVER gets old. it never ages badly. it never fails to make me cry. it will always have a special place in my heart. i love this series so much!
Not sure if anyone covered this but the mutts at the end are created out of the fallen tributes DNA. In the book katniss noticed that they have the same eyes and the same color for as the tributes hair. Also Cato has a suit on that cannot be sliced so the scene where the mutts are attacking him in the book last longer and finally katniss shoots him to put him out of his misery and he begs her to do it. Last note as others said they did Peeta dirty in the movies. He is Katniss's rock and keeps her grounded. She is strong and quick in battle but he helps her stay sane and not lose herself.
Glad you enjoyed this bro, my girl made me watch it back in the day and I loved it. Definitely watch the rest. Fire reaction as always
Everything that is genetically altered is called a Mutt. The tracker jackers, and the dog like creatures and others in the other movies.
Throughout Peeta is working toward saving Katniss, it’s always about her for him. The books make it clearer and he’s even more charming in the books, very clever wit.
Yes watch all of them I think you’ll really enjoy it the good and bad
Something the movies talked about in passing is the fact that your name gets put into the reaping once a year from the time you turn 12 to 18; by the time you're 18, you'll have your name in the reaping 7 times. Then you can also put your name into the reaping an extra time for tesserae (a years worth of grain and oil) each year for each member of your family, and it's cumulative too. So by the time Katniss volunteered (she was 16), she had her name in the reaping a total of 20 times (5 for each of the years she had been of age, then 15 more because she took tesserae every year for all three members of her family). She refused to let Prim take tesserae too. Gale came from a larger family, and he was older than her; he was 18 during THG, he has 5 family members including himself, and he put in for tesserae for his family every year so by the time of the 74th Hunger Games, he had his name in the reaping 42 times. The fact that Prim's name was called on her very first reaping when she only had her name in once was just horrible luck.
My one and only complaint about this movie is how they depict time.
In the book they spent MONTHS in the game. In the movie it feels like it goes by in a week or two.
Great movie, enjoyed the reaction let’s see the rest!
Months!! That’s a huge difference from the movie
The hunger games only lasted for 18 days in the book, not months.
@@deving9793dude who commented is wrong, everything seems to take closer to real time because of the heavy emphasis on Katniss’s thought and survival techniques which we dont see in the movie because she’s not the type of person to talk a lot
They don't spend months in it, they spend a few weeks.
This was my favorite reaction for this movie and I can’t wait to see your sequel reaction!! 🙌🔥👌🌺
Can’t wait for your reaction to the second one
First time I've seen someone not liking Peeta. He's honestly the sweetest and kindest soul. I'm glad your perspective changed. 😂
21:55 thats exactly right. Introverts are considered more trustworthy and likeable to more people than extroverts for exactly that reason - you don't say much and therefore you rub less people the wrong way and keep them curious. Why I would absolutely never get sponsors in this game! smh i have strong opinions I always speak them
The basis of the hunger games was an intellectual exercise to come up with a punishment so horrible that your enemies would never dare oppose you again.
please do the whole series, it get darker and crazier every damn movie its so good
I had my youngest sister watch Hunger Games. She fell in love with Rue. When Rue died, she cussed me out for having her watch it. She cried like a baby over Rue dying. She didn't watch anymore of the movies tell the last one came out. It took me that long to convince her to finish the series. She liked to act tuff, but she was a big softie.
About the bread: He actually burnt it on purpose, knowing his mom would make him feed it to the pigs, and that he'd be able to leave some for Katness. He also knew he'd get beaten for it, which he was.
Good movies. Even better books.
That’s what I heard
Awesome reaction of my favorite The Hunger Games movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Loved loved loved this reaction. It just gets better each movie, please react to the rest ❤
You got my blood pressure up hating on Peeta. I am glad you finally understood a little. 😅
The movie don't make justice to Peeta. In the book Peeta's mom is abusive, she hit him for burning the bread, at the next day at school Katniss saw Peeta with a black eye. The bread that Peeta throw to Katniss was and heavy and expensive bread full with nuts. It's believe he burned on purpose to throw it to Katniss. And they were eleven at the time. Katniss was dying of famine and thinking about prostituting herself to have money to feed her little sister, that bread was the hope and motivation she needed to live.
I remember reading these books for the first time. They were great! Keep it up Devin, I love your reactions!
I went to watch this movie with my partner when it came out and i was not happy to see it (was kind of dragged to the cinema), but she had loved the books and assured me id love it, by the end of the movie i was in tears a few times, and was eagerly awaiting the next movies we knew were coming. this is epic series 1-4. after, its typical hollywood sadly imo.
Looking forward to the rest with you. Peace from UK
This is a trilogy that just builds & builds
I will be very interested in your take one the next 3
For the record they're not shown in the movies but Peter also has big brothers one who is old enough that he could take the spot he's I believe 17 or 18 and the other brother is too old to volunteer but neither one even flinches at him being called
The reason that the people have rioted over this is that they have spent the last 74 years being beaten down. They are all basically starving. In the books Rue talks about how she rarely has enough to eat at home, and Katniss responds that she would have thought being from an agricultural district Rue's family would have more access to fresh food. Rue asks, "Do you get as much coal as you need just because your district mines it?" and Katniss realizes that of course every district has it as bad as her district does. Everything that gets harvested or mined or made is sent to the Capitol first, so that they get everything _they_ need/want first, and then the Districts get the leftovers rationed out to them.
Disctricts 1 and 2 are on the best terms with the Capitol and are the closest districts, so the "career tributes," the kids who actually are allowed to train with weapons and be ready for combat come from Districts 1 and 2, and to keep those districts on their side, the Capitol gives them the best and the most of the rations.
Everywhere else, they are starving, they have to rely on the government rations to get by, which means their names get added to the reaping bowl...and only families who still have kids between 12 and 18 can do that. If your kids are too young for the reaping or if they are already grown up, you have no one in the house who can get that extra food for you. Katniss and her family were starving because her dad died when she was 11 and she wasn't of age yet to sign up for the rations.
And no one has any weapons. This is why Katniss has to keep her bow hidden in the woods. Only the Peacekeepers are allowed to have ANY kind of weapon, and you saw what happened to the rioters in District 11; that got put down real quick.
Rue’s death will always be one of the saddest moments in hunger games. I cried my eyes out when I read it and when I saw it. You can feel the pain and guilt in Katniss, holding this innocent child who never should’ve been there, none of them should, and watching her slip away. And then when Katniss put flowers on her body, it made everyone realize, hey these are kids and this is wrong. Rue was the start of Katniss’s flame for the rebellion.
As much as you enjoyed this one, you will LOVE the next one. This one's really good, but the second film improves on the first in every aspect about ten times over. It always blows people away how much better it is, because the first one is good enough you just hope the sequel is about as good....but it manages to take it to a whole nother level. It's the film that convinced me I needed to read the books, and I'm glad I did. The story takes some VERY interesting turns, and has some frighteningly realistic parallels to our own society and lives.
I’ve seen the second on Patreon. It’s phenomenal
@@deving9793 Glad to hear! Looking forward to it!! See, I knew you would! 😜
you don't really see it on the first watch but Peeta was gesturing for Katniss to shoot Cato in the hand. he was pointing to it with his pinky
I just found your channel after watching reactions with you and your lady. I love this series and am glad you got into the first film. You asked "What can they do now" since they won and got to go home... you'll see. 😅
This is the first time I've watched you. I enjoy your style and your attitude. I've subscribed.
You gotta watch ballad of songbirds and snakes too!
Great reaction Brother 🏆 Great Movie 💯
First time seeing any reactions from you. You are dope I liked it and your channel! Great reaction
Glad you reacted to this movie, I wondering when you would.
I also was wondering how you’d react to Cato (the skilled and crazy white boy).
The fact that you were in the US Army, I KNOW for a fact that you came across gung-ho dudes like Cato during your service. LOL 😂
Please do the entire movie series, that's one thing other youtubers lack. They all do one or two and then just stop for no reason. You're reaction was brilliant

His first reaction to Effie 😂😂😂
This was such a fun watch!!! Can’t wait for the sequel 😊
I really enjoyed your reaction, sir! I'll wait for the hunger games 2 ☺
Man! If Devins getting hyped at the riot he's definitely gotta watch the rest!
Waiting for your next one !! keep it going
Fire reaction bro! 👍🏿
Best reaction channel on TH-cam.
I genuinely can't wait for devin g's next vids.
I truly appreciate your support and kind words
Getting closer to that 100k bro! Keep up the hard work🫡 from UK🙏🇬🇧
Almost 💪🏿💪🏿
I loved this reaction! Now when's the next one coming out? 😁
Cant wait to see you watch the rest!
I love that you're doing this awesome series!! 💖
Already done the 2nd up on Patreon. It was fantastic
yo that bit at 23:20 is cracking me up! if i hadn't already liked i would have then lmao
For Peeta just remember he's a Baker and Pita 😅
The sequel Hunger Games Catching Fire is the one of the best book to film adaptations ever made, highly highly recommend!!
Great movie and another great reaction. I can't wait til the next one. One suggestion: If you could turn the volume on the movie up more and turn your volume on your microphone down that would be better. I could barely hear the movie and then when you spoke I had to turn it down. I love your excitement but my eardrums didn't lol
Hope you do the next movies, I wanna see your reactions. They are all phenomenal and a great adaption to the books, even tho the books are better and give more detail and explanation and some things were edited out.
I would not be a reader today if it weren't for these books. Always pictured Lady Gaga as Effie reading them, lol.
In the book those dogs are so much more creepy. They had the voice and eyes of the dead tributes.
Catching Fire next!!! 🔥
Hard not to tear up when rue gets killed
Please watch them all
Mamaw from Arkansas loved your reaction
👵🏻👍🏻♥️
That brooch brought bad luck to everyone who had it.
Oh damn really!?
@@deving9793 she gave to her sister, she got picked. She wore it and almost died.
The mentor is a drunk. Bc his job is to send kids to their death. Who would want to have that on their heart
They don’t specify when this takes place but it IS in the future and Panem is what remains of the US after a massive flood event wiped out most coastal areas.
The second movie of the franchise is generally considered the best one. You'll see why when you watch it.
Already seen on it Patreon fam!! It’s so dope
seems like our not so distant future
Great reaction❤😊
Greatly appreciated!
Keep going there is more to see.
Just FYI Haymitch had 49 other people die in his games for him to win and he has had to mentor 2 kids every year to die in front of him for 24 years. Being a "fucking drunk" in that case seems pretty reasonable. He did convince the game makers to change the rules to let both of his tributes live this time.
It's a difficult series of books to experience written to teach middle school students about politics and war and published by Scholastic Books.
By the way if you want to look up who plays Effie trinket online her name is Elizabeth Banks and Blakely I've been seeing her in oil of Olay commercials she's actually quite pretty she took a major downgrade playing Effie butt cheeks in mind when she was like in this movie as you move on in the series she grows up a lot in this series
