All right So the birds that were screaming like their loved ones for the emotional torture. They're called jabberjays. They were a creation of the capital to spy on the districts and these birds could apparently basically remember full conversations but they were easily spotted and the people in the district started feeding them false information. So the capital quickly dumped the concept and let them all go into the wild because they were all male. They couldn't breed well. They started breeding with female mockingbirds creating the Mockingjay. Hence the reason it's a symbol of hope and rebellion against the capital
No truly because so many books made for young adults glamorize abuse and major relationship red flags whereas Hunger Games just gave you a sweet boy who loves you
It was actually Peeta who painted Rue on the ground. He used his allotted time to impress the judges to instead send them a message. So when Katniss saw it she was inspired to send them her own message.
In the book, they covered up what Peers did with a mat because they couldn’t use cleaners to fully clean up what he painted. Anyways Katniss does what she does without seeing Rue painted. But when they finally reveal to each other what they did, they both joke around that you’d think it was planned.
My boy Peeta had the looks, the personality, the wits and he was loyal to Katniss for basically their entire life. He is truly the perfect man. I wish the movies captured how flirty, funny and sweet he was with her, but what we got was great
Peeta’s rizz in the books was unmatched, movie Peeta seems a lot more timid and shy in comparison. Josh Hutcherson if he was given book Peeta’s line and personality would’ve ate that up as well, but regardless I think he did a good job making Peeta likeable still anyway
@@clover2739 I think that’s why a lot of people who were wary of peeta in the first movie are completely in love with him when they watch the second. It’s where his canon personality shines through the most and everyone loves it.
@@nativenewyorker3144 I agree some people do, but even then the 2nd movie still doesn’t tend to show even close to Peeta’s book personality. They do a good job of showing his sweetness and even though they’ve added small moments of snark I feel like the movies still don’t showcase his personality fully but he’s still loveable. Tbh this movie can go half and half, people either learn to love Peeta by this movie or think he’s completely useless and a burden to katniss
@@anayaxo9007 oh but he was tall in the books😭 josh was such a perfect casting for his personality that the looks didn't matter at all hahaha. He was a brunette short king with brown eyes, while Peeta had blue eyes, blond hair, very tall and broad. I don't mind tho, it proves that women love personality over looks hahaha
Something that really hits home with Johanna when reading the books is that she, just like Katniss, is the only living female victor in her district, so she was doomed the minute the quarter quell was announced. To make things even worse, she’s the youngest tribute there, other than Peeta and Katniss, as she’s only 21
Its funny bc as a teen I thought johanna was such a badass adult, and now that I’m 24 years old I’m like……..my poor baby omg she is so tragic. All the victors on retrospect are soooo fucking sad. And I knew that as a kid but now that I’m older its like omfg
I might also misremember, but I remember the scene with the birds in the arena being different. If I recall correctly, Johanna walks in to get water while the birds are still there because she knows she won't hear any sounds because there's nobody left she loves. Which... the absolute tragedy of it all.
The fingers in the air is a sign of respect for people from district 12. After Katnis used it show respect for Rue in the games it became a symbol of the rebellion.
Isn't it kind of a sympathy/grief thing as well? Sorry, maybe I'm making shit up, I read these so long ago. I think I remember reading something like that from when Katniss volunteers in the first book
@@alinac5512 Yes, that's what I remember from the books also. The sign is used at funerals. That's why it was used in the first movie. Because when Katniss voulenteered everyone thought she was going to die (because people outside Dirstrict 1 and 2 don't have any chance at winning) - so they said their goodbyes to her with that hand sign.
i absolutely love finnick and johanna. Johanna in particular is so underrated because she was done so dirty in the movie. We don't get to see much of her which is understandable because there's already so much going on, but I absolutely love her dynamic with katniss. Finnick and johanna's backstories are so sad and I just want the best for both these babies🥺💕✨
YUSH! I loved her in the books! The drive to push each other through training and Johannas constant push against water until their final test and Katniss hears that she fails because of it but doesnt learn until later that Johanna was tortured with water (and electricity if I remember correctly? which is also why shes bald when they first free her.)
You can really see how much effie's changed from how relieved she is that Haymich is called instead of Peeta. And how upset she is when Peeta volunteers.
I honestly think that she was relieved because if Haymich went into the games, he’d still try to save Katniss most likely but would still die- and yeah it’d mess Katniss up, but not nearly as much as it would if Peeta died. Especially if Katniss was the one who had to kill him. So she was probably like “good, Katniss doesn’t have to kill Peeta/watch him die”
I like how Effie wears the outfit with the butterflies during the reaping. It shows her metamorphosis from being a Capitol citizen to siding with the districts
@@niloticnyaWhile still a bit "extravagant" ("you can take the girl out of the Capitol, but you can't take the Capitol out of the girl" after all), I did really like the more subdued "Autumnal" style and color scheme. It did a good job of quietly conveying a change of season/ passage of time, along with the change in Effie's mood (& perceptions).
It's okay if you don't like Gale. In the books it's better explained, she cares about him but she's not in love with him. He's in love with her, however. In her mind, she is not ever going to get married and have children because she doesn't want to subject them to the Hunger Games.
Even in the movie, it was clear to me that Katniss and Gale didn't have much in common. He was trying really really really hard to be chosen for the hunger games, and he does seem to like war a little too much. Katniss on the other hand just wants peace and a "boring" life in a small town, like Peeta.
@@adalon378 I wouldn’t say that Gale was trying hard to get into the Hunger Games at all. The only reason why he has so many entries is because he was determined to make sure he could feed his family (by getting extra tesserae and oil for each member of his family, which means more entries each year) without letting his younger siblings enter their names more. If Gale went to the Hunger Games, he would not be able to take care of his family, which would be his worst nightmare. I agree that Gale was too war-hungry, but otherwise him and Katniss were extremely similar. Too similar, whereas Peeta compliments her and challenges her to be better
@@adalon378what is your definition of hooked up? They kissed, once. That's all she's ever said about them being physical * wanted to make sure I was remembering correctly so I just looked it up and she actually just recently gave an interview because of the whole Flowers by Miley Cyrus rumors and she said she was happy to address and finally put it to rest that they never hooked up and she's only shared an off-screen kiss with him once during filming while he and Cyrus were broken up.
Haymitch competed in the last quarter quell, year 50. The twist that year was that there were DOUBLE THE TRIBUTES meaning that he had to beat 47 other people instead of the usual 23.
@mindofliz1298 in the books Effie actually got them tapes on all the other tributes/victors they were fighting or still alive, Haymitches game was the one they were debating to even watch. He won against the other last tribute by ducking(letting himself drop) right when she threw an axe at his head at the edge of the arena. She threw, he dropped, the axe hit the force field, and it deflected back at her face.
A thing the movies don’t touch on is that Peeta’s disabled, they had to amputate his leg, and he had to wear a prosthetic. That’s why during the fog he was tripping so much, he wasn’t used to his leg
He doesn't even lose his leg in the movie, that was one of my biggest issues, as besides the PTSD they've erased both Katniss (deaf in one ear) and Peeta's disabilities after the first game.
@@ryomahoshi4529you won’t be sorry. It’s a different experience. The movies in my opinion are some of the best adaptations I’ve seen. But like most they have to cut scenes which changes all the relationships.
Finnick is literally like my favourite fictional character ever. Book Finnick was even better! I literally named my son after him (I always wanted Finn but his dad wanted something more powerful and it was actually his mum that suggested Finnick knowing we were both fans)
finnick's fate in mockingjay literally BROKE me when i first read the book like... legitimately COULD. NOT. BELIEVE that they did that to him because i thought he would have main character plot armor and never die....... kept flipping back to the page and re-reading what happened because my mind couldn't wrap around what the fuck i was reading... as you can tell i'm still scarred about it all these years later lmao
One of the saddest parts is when they take katniss and peeta straight to the train after the reaping. In the books, you're in Katniss' thoughts and she explains that she's resigned herself to dying. She just wants Peeta to survive. Them not giving her a chance to say goodbye is heartwrenching because she expects to never see them again. Her last little cry of "goodbye" before they close the doors hurts my soul. 😭
Backstory on Finnick. He actually has a sad one. After he won his games, he was sold around the capital as a pr0st!tute and when he refused snow threatened to kill his family. So instead of money from his “patrons” he asked for secrets. Which actually came to be rather useful in navigating the Capitol Which also Johanna also has a similar story. She was also almost forced into pr0st!tution but when she refused snow killed everyone she loved. Which is why she makes the comment “they can’t hurt me, there’s no one else that I love” because snow killed them all because she wouldn’t do what Finnick did.
The thing with Peeta's painting of Rue is, I think, an outright mistake in adaptation, judging by how many people misread it... and how fair that misreading is. In the book, the Gamemakers were so disturbed that Katniss's assessment was half an hour or so late while they cleaned it up, and she didn't find out about it until Peeta told everyone later in the apartment. That would be too talky for the movie, so I get why they changed it, but people reading it as a psy-op against Katniss by the gamemakers really is a more likely scenario based on what's on screen.
I'm pretty sure the rules say the tributes can't see what the previous tribute did so they had to try to clean it up but didn't really success so they just put a mat on it. I'm pretty sure Katniss sees it during the evaluation and snaps and does the Ceneca dummy thing.
@@alinac5512 No she doesn't see it, but she can see how shaken the game makers were, and she knew that Peeta did something that would get him in trouble, so she decided she had to do something worse to get the heat off of Peeta. That's why she does what she does.
@@4Tom4lepus4yes! Or at least if we had a scene of Peeta showing katniss his paintings he did that he does to cope with the trauma then maybe it would be easier for people to guess that it was him. Since the movies didn’t show Peeta’s whole painting thing at all
idk why but when i watched the movies before i read the books i thought my gal MAGS painted rue.. idk why js very in character. i think in the books she took a NAP for her assessment. slay
what Elizabeth Banks & Woody Harrelson brought to the characters of Effie & Haymitch took the characters to such an amazing depth I absolutely LOVE the direction they chose for both the characters in the films
Its funny, I'ved watch a bunch of reactions to these movies, and most can do without gale. In the books, it better portrays, that katniss loves gale more like a brother, but plays along because she doesn't want to hurt his feelings. With peeta, she is just confused how she feels, because it came out nowhere that in the middle of preparing to fight for her life that peeta confesses to having a crush on her since they where little. Then she was forced to pretend without really time to process it.
I actually disagee, katniss definitely has romantic feelings towards gale, i think she even says they probably would have ended up together if her life had turned out different. But she realizes that gale and her wouldn't have been a good match and would have been fighting their entire lifes. Whereas peetas soft energy is what she actually needs in her life, they complement each other. She was also confused because she saw being with peeta as plan of the capitol and being with gale as a choice for the rebellion. It is only when she is completely free that she can listen to her actual feelings.
@Chris-pu6eb I think its just pity attraction not actual attraction. She says it in a way that seems "Oh well ill settle with Gale I guess." In a nonchalant way but she cafes WAY more for Peeta
this movie made me FALL SO HARD for Peeta, he is just the sweetest🤭i get that everyone has a type, but how could you really hate on Peeta. He's smart, strong, caring, selfless, cunning, handsome, he's the whole package💕
catching fire is widely considered the best book and movie, i wish the movie was longer bc the book is incredible, it really shows how insanely wonderful peeta is
They really did put their blood, sweat and tears into their performances. Seeing them stand there looking out into the crowd after Peeta volunteers for haymitch and thinking of the trauma they’ve already experienced just breaks my heart and then being forced to go thru it all over again. Hurts to see and makes me wanna cry despite seeing this movie in particular so many times already considering it’s my favorite, that’s how amazing they are
A lot of the costumes for Katniss didn't live up to the book descriptions but they nailed it with the wedding dress burning away and turning into a Mockingjay.
This is one of those rare movie series where I would say every movie is better than the one before it but they all must be watched together because the compounding story and character progression is a freaking master class
To answer the question about the salute with the three fingers: there are two different meanings. It's worth noting that regular communication between the districts is forbidden, so each district has its own distinct culture. The salute began in District 12 as a sign of farewell. But when the other districts saw Katniss doing it for Rue (directing it at the camera), it took on a completely different meaning for them. That's why it was so harshly punished when it was done by any district other than 12, because in the other districts, it's a signal to rebellion. There's a story behind why Johanna says, "they can't hurt me... there's no one left that I love," and I don't think it's ever explicitly stated in the movies, but I can't explain it just yet without spoiling something that _is_ explained for Finnick.
35:15 help I f*cking died at the visceral reaction you had to gale appearing during this traumatic scene😭😭😭 cuz girl me too, I involuntarily sigh when he appears on the screen💀💀💀
Could you please explain to me the short and sweet of why "we don't like Liam?" Back when the last movie had recently been released, I got into the series and during its youth, Peeta vs Gale was like the Edward vs Jacob of shipping wars. Though I'm glad most have come to common sense that Peeta is best boy, I don't understand why Gale's actor, Liam, is "ew?" I usually stay out of drama and haven't heard anything about this other than his divorce with Miley Cyrus. Thanks!
The three finger salute is explained in the book: It means thanks or admiration. One way to say goodbye to someone you love or respect. It was an amazing video c:
Not Everyone. But I cannot be in a team Gale either, couse Gale deserve someone much better then her, and it's a good thing she eliminated herself from his circle.
i love how you call president snow the one with the "funky beard" when seneca crane (the head game maker from the first movie) literally had the FUNKIEST beard of all time😂
Peeta is an underrated character in these movies. And he's one of the best teen love interest I've ever seen. You have no idea how refreshing it is to have a Young adult love interest that isn't a douchbage.
also the real reason peeta couldn't run away fast enough from the fog (and had to be carried by finnick in the books, causing him to have to leave Mags behind) is because peeta lost his leg after the first games and was still getting used to his prosthetic
I love all of the movies, and they do get progressively better after each one, but Catching Fire was my ABSOLUTE favorite. Between the plot twists, the games, the outfits, the shocks, Peeta and Katniss, I was GLUED to my screen the ENTIRE MOVIE🤭
I fell in love with Effie in this movie. She went from the annoying, Im above you, person from the capitol. To Caring and loving for them. You can feel the little family vibe from all of them. Also I’m not entirely 100% sure but I think in the books they mentioned there being a force field on their apartment balconies to keep the ones chosen for the games from jumping to their death.
More important than money, their winnings include food. The victors win shipments of food for their districts, which is why they call it the hunger games.
I'm so happy you're loving THG ! Catching Fire both book and movie is most people's favourite, and it is mine too. This movie is just so so good. Peeta is the sweetest character ever so happy to see you love him too.
NO BCS I LITERALLY WATCHED YOUR FIRST HUNGER GAMES REACTION YESTERDAY AND NOW YOU'VE POSTED THE SECOND ONE TODAY!!! 💖✨️ So glad I found your channel your content is so good 💖
The way I was yelling at the beginning. Like, no! We love Finnick! But he does play his role very well. Finnick's story and trauma in the books is absolutely heartbreaking. These are honestly pretty good adaptations but there is so much important detail missing, detail that explains why Joanna is the way she is and Finnick and Haymitch because for the three of them especially, it is so much than the trauma of the arena. The things the Capitol did to Finnick and Joanna... And yes, Peeta is a walking green flag. I maintain that Peeta is one of the most emotional intelligent characters ever created.
It is explained a bit better in the books, but the whole point was that tributes from several districts promised to help protect Katniss and Peeta. They had this huge plan to get Katniss out of the arena hence why Johanna got Beetee and Wiress out in order for them to build the tree contraption. The camouflage girl protected Peeta because everyone knew that Katniss wouldn’t care to be the Mockjngjay is he was dead; this was also a part of Haymitch’s promise to Katniss, which was to keep Peeta safe no matter what. Without spoiling the 3rd movie, *someone* and *some people* had a plan to start a revolution against The Capital and they wanted Katniss as the symbol. She was one of the only people who defied The Capital and got away with it. She was the symbol for hope.
There’s a reason why I love Johanna it’s because unlike Katniss who we see is nice and sensitive she’s abrasive and mean but she genially cares about Katniss especially because she’s like a little sister to her
Catching Fire is definitely my favorite of the four. The next two are also really good but the last one is heavy for sure. Hell yeah, team Peeta! Gale can go cry in a corner. Love watching these reacts! Thanks!
Just gotta add that no matter how horrifying and dystopic the games are, they got some really creative energy there. Would love to just read stories about all the different maps that were created :D
personally, id LOVE to read the different games that happened. like haymitch's one bc his was deadly. it doesn't even have to be a full book even just a novella just to see that man in action man xD or even a whole ass book that contatined a collection of stories about noteworthy games, just to see how the other victors one. that wouldve been interesting as well ugh
I'm so glad you're enjoying this series. I can't wait to see your next videos. Personally I love Catching Fire, but there's a scene in Mockingjay part 1 that is my absolute favorite in the entire series.
I love this movie. And I love your reaction ! I just finished reading the whole book series and I can't think of anything else !! Peeta is really sweet. I think they did great with casting Josh Hutcherson.
You remembering the names of all of the innocent/kind people and forgetting the names of the ones depicted as ruthless is actually really touching. You remember everyone’s name who was just a victim(except fox face but that’s not even her real name). It’s like your brain immediately decides it’s not worth remembering the people who are ruthless and it’s better to use that space to remember characters who were as good as they could be in the situation they were born into. That definitely says something great about your character
Peeta seems very fragile at the beginning of this game because at the end of the first book he loses part of his leg and uses a prosthetic. That's why 5:38 in this part they fall in the snow... Peeta is one of my favorite literary characters. He is not that strong, mysterious and irresistible. He is kind, welcoming, intelligent and loyal. You should read the books, it's a pleasure to get to know him better! You would fall more in love with him 😍 Great reaction!!
The movie itself is well thought out and acted. If you enjoy reading books, I really recommend picking up the trilogy that Suzanne Collins wrote. I was waiting for that reaction of yours and I was not disappointed. Thanks!🖤 Ps. *16:16* Fire melts snow ;)
I'm sure somebody else has already explained this, but in case they haven't, the three-fingered salute is a gesture of respect/gratitude/farewell from District 12, where they would mainly use it at funerals to show their love for someone departed, but during the games Katniss kind of gave it a whole new meaning and now it's a symbol of defiance as well as pure love
I don’t think he did it for katniss at all, he did it to make the gamemakers angry at him and to hold them accountable for what they did. In the book katniss never even saw the painting since the gamemakers tried to wash it up and put a mat over it to cover it up but Katniss knew Peeta made them angry. I think he also wanted them to angry at him and chose to kill him off rather than katniss, so katniss had to one up him so they focus on killing her instead. I know it’s different in the movie since katniss sees it, in a deleted scene for the movie Peeta even says ‘I never meant for you to see that’ talking about the Rue painting, so I don’t think he was trying to get katnuss angry in any way since he doesn’t want her to do anything that would get her killed off since his main goal is having Katniss live
Darling if u do ANY movie series next you should do NARNIA I literally never see people react to them so it would be unclaimed territory as well as it’s visually stunning
Oh my God. When you said you can’t hear without your subtitles, I felt that. Just watched your _The Hunger Games_ video and it was wonderful. Felt like I was watching with a friend.
Girl! I HIGHLY recommend reading the books. They give so much information on ALL of the characters! If you don't like reading, the audiobooks also work! It will answer so many questions that the movie didn't have time to hash out.
I did NOT realize how MUCH of a sweetheart Peeta is until this video and I've seen these movies a million times!! Ahh I love it but it also breaks my heart!! 😭😭
Peeta is everything! The movies don’t do him justice since they take 80% of his personality away and a lot of katniss and Peeta’s scenes were cut from the movies, especially the first one ruins him and Josh Hutcherson would’ve ate book Peeta’s personality up because he’s so witty and snarky but it’s also great to see how people still love Peeta’s character anyway cause he’s that good!
It's so cool to see a reaction from someone who didn't read the books before watching the movies. I love both but I kinda wish I had the same feeling of surprise and excitment for not knowing what was gonna happen next. Thank you for sharing you experience!
People who hate on Peeta make no sense to me. All they will say is "oh he has to be rescued all the time".......like that's all they got and they know it😭 that's the only "flaw" that Peeta has, which shouldnt be SUCH A BIG DEAL when it comes to his character, but whatever......if you like it i LOVE IT😭
@@JessLoveyy at least you can admit his good traits. There’s some people who be saying that “Peeta is so petty and mean” and I’m just like “are you watching the right movie??”😭😭
Also the movies cut out a huge part of the reason why peeta had so much trouble getting around and what not in the 2nd film. He literally lost a leg in the 1st games and still wasn't used to his prosthetic leg in the 2nd. They cut his disability out in the movies
I think the movies cutting how a lot of Peeta’s strengths and also cutting out him losing a leg doesn’t help, cause a big reason he was struggling is because of having to run around with a prosthetic leg he wasn’t fully used to in a jungle area filled with vines. Plus they don’t explain or show how much Peeta actually saves Katniss life as well and how important he is. Like the first movie having Peeta fall in training and have the careers laughing at him and so Katniss has to tell Peeta to show his strength was a bit strange to me. Considering in how in the book that never happens because Peeta actually does well in training, he excels in hand to hand combat which katniss sucks at and Cato is also impressed and comments on how Peeta is skilled with a knife. Peeta with the careers saved katniss life by leading them the wrong ways while she was dehydrated and then attacked Cato 1on1 to stop him coming for Katniss since she was too disoriented that she was just sitting there which is how his leg was so injured in the first place. Then Peeta also killed that girl from district 8 since the careees didn’t kill her properly. Then in catching fire they took out Peeta’s whole training thing, he was so mad after the quarter quell was announced and Katniss and Haymitch got drunk and he threw out all the liquor and went into personal trainer mode and forced Katniss and Haymitch to get it together and train every day to become careers and even though Haymitch couldn’t handle it, Peeta’s forced training got both himself and Katniss a lot stronger and capable and Peeta also studied every single tributes games every night to learn about them. He was that strict because he wanted both Katniss and Haymitch to live to the point that Katniss missed Peeta being soft and comforting. I think the movies cutting these out make Peeta look weaker, cause yeah he’s softer and sweet but he’s just as stubborn as katniss is at points and even though in the books Peeta is too injured the whole time to do anything with the force field and his leg, later on when Peeta feels better he manages to kill Brutus from district 2 with his bare hands for killing Chaff who is Haymitch’s friend. Brutus is one of the toughest and most brutal tribute and it shows that Peeta’s training payed off and is a lot more powerful than people think. Even in the books, Katniss is first worried at how Finnick and Johanna keep trying to split them up before the jabberjays happen and then she stops worrying because the way they split them up doesn’t make sense because Peeta would be able to overpower Johanna easily. Katniss herself thinks this even knowing how brutal Johanna is, so he’s definitely not weak at all.
I'm right there with you with the swooning for Peeta. I was down bad for him years ago when I first watched/read this story and even now, years later this man keeps making me feel things. Also, loooove your edit style!
Words can't describe how much this movie touches my heart, I've never cried in any other movie in my life and can we just talk about how the perfect man is peeta.
Someone might have already said this, but at the end of the first book Peeta gets his leg amputated and would definitely still be getting used to it. In the book his artificial leg gets caught on something and he falls face first while they are running from the fog. She has to help him up and why the time he gets him up the fog renders his legs useless. It doesn’t go to in depth, but the mention that he tripped due to that leg specifically (it is called his artificial leg) suggested the fact it was artificial has something to do with it, especially since it is rarely mentioned.
14:29 Effie’s outfit here is the archived Alexander McQueen with some additional butterflies applied to her skin. Even her lashes have butterflies, they’re from a brand that makes paper lashes with all sorts of designs. The attention to detail in the costuming + hair & makeup in the movies is really incredible.
10:53 every time I see this scene, I wish that they had kept in the part where he showed Katniss his watching and the mockingjay symbol flashed on the screen for a split second. But maybe the director thought that would be too obvious.
Fun Fact, Johanna Mason undresses in the elevator because in the first games Katniss was squeamish about exposing Peeta in the nude when she was trying to help him with his wounds so her doing this in the elevator in front of the fiancee in question was the ultimate middle finger to her.
So sorry this took so long to get out guys😢 the copyright police were on my a** but let’s see how long it stays up😭💕
I hope you loved it 😊
Did you watch the first one?
@@jasmine7744 she did it’s three videos from this one
All right So the birds that were screaming like their loved ones for the emotional torture. They're called jabberjays. They were a creation of the capital to spy on the districts and these birds could apparently basically remember full conversations but they were easily spotted and the people in the district started feeding them false information. So the capital quickly dumped the concept and let them all go into the wild because they were all male. They couldn't breed well. They started breeding with female mockingbirds creating the Mockingjay. Hence the reason it's a symbol of hope and rebellion against the capital
No truly because so many books made for young adults glamorize abuse and major relationship red flags whereas Hunger Games just gave you a sweet boy who loves you
Honestly, Peeta is the best love interest in any teen movie.

Still being himself even in death, as he wanted.
THANK YOU, I have read other explanations of this scene but I never fully understood Peeta's logic until now
In the book, they covered up what Peers did with a mat because they couldn’t use cleaners to fully clean up what he painted. Anyways Katniss does what she does without seeing Rue painted. But when they finally reveal to each other what they did, they both joke around that you’d think it was planned.

He was a brunette short king with brown eyes, while Peeta had blue eyes, blond hair, very tall and broad. I don't mind tho, it proves that women love personality over looks hahaha
“You can live a 100 lifetimes and never deserve that boy” 😢😢😢 Peeta is just too pure for this world.
Tan cierto ❤❤
Something that really hits home with Johanna when reading the books is that she, just like Katniss, is the only living female victor in her district, so she was doomed the minute the quarter quell was announced. To make things even worse, she’s the youngest tribute there, other than Peeta and Katniss, as she’s only 21
Its funny bc as a teen I thought johanna was such a badass adult, and now that I’m 24 years old I’m like……..my poor baby omg she is so tragic. All the victors on retrospect are soooo fucking sad. And I knew that as a kid but now that I’m older its like omfg
Only 21 :(
I might also misremember, but I remember the scene with the birds in the arena being different. If I recall correctly, Johanna walks in to get water while the birds are still there because she knows she won't hear any sounds because there's nobody left she loves. Which... the absolute tragedy of it all.
I wish they had shown more of her an Katniss relationship in the movies, the way they do in the books
@@swampratguttergoblin They took out Johanna so much in the last movie and I don't get why...
The fingers in the air is a sign of respect for people from district 12. After Katnis used it show respect for Rue in the games it became a symbol of the rebellion.
Isn't it kind of a sympathy/grief thing as well? Sorry, maybe I'm making shit up, I read these so long ago. I think I remember reading something like that from when Katniss volunteers in the first book
it's a sign of gratitude, love, and farewell, hence three fingers
I'm pretty sure it's also a goodbye, often used at funerals in district 12.
@@alinac5512 Yes, that's what I remember from the books also. The sign is used at funerals. That's why it was used in the first movie. Because when Katniss voulenteered everyone thought she was going to die (because people outside Dirstrict 1 and 2 don't have any chance at winning) - so they said their goodbyes to her with that hand sign.
I came looking to see if someone explained this hehe
i absolutely love finnick and johanna. Johanna in particular is so underrated because she was done so dirty in the movie. We don't get to see much of her which is understandable because there's already so much going on, but I absolutely love her dynamic with katniss. Finnick and johanna's backstories are so sad and I just want the best for both these babies🥺💕✨
YUSH! I loved her in the books! The drive to push each other through training and Johannas constant push against water until their final test and Katniss hears that she fails because of it but doesnt learn until later that Johanna was tortured with water (and electricity if I remember correctly? which is also why shes bald when they first free her.)
You can really see how much effie's changed from how relieved she is that Haymich is called instead of Peeta.
And how upset she is when Peeta volunteers.
I thought she sounded sad when it was Haymitch but she would also have been sad if it was Peeta...like she would have preferred a blank paper
I honestly think that she was relieved because if Haymich went into the games, he’d still try to save Katniss most likely but would still die- and yeah it’d mess Katniss up, but not nearly as much as it would if Peeta died. Especially if Katniss was the one who had to kill him. So she was probably like “good, Katniss doesn’t have to kill Peeta/watch him die”
Effie's character growth in the film series is pretty well done.
I like how Effie wears the outfit with the butterflies during the reaping. It shows her metamorphosis from being a Capitol citizen to siding with the districts
@@niloticnyaWhile still a bit "extravagant" ("you can take the girl out of the Capitol, but you can't take the Capitol out of the girl" after all), I did really like the more subdued "Autumnal" style and color scheme.
It did a good job of quietly conveying a change of season/ passage of time, along with the change in Effie's mood (& perceptions).
girl i’m scared for you because the next two are CRUEL on peeta
It's okay if you don't like Gale. In the books it's better explained, she cares about him but she's not in love with him. He's in love with her, however. In her mind, she is not ever going to get married and have children because she doesn't want to subject them to the Hunger Games.
Also I feel like she doesn’t like the actor himself, Liam instead of the character but boo to both of them anyways lol
@@dabidzubia2791actually on the contrary, they even hooked up, and she said smth like "what would you do? he's hot!"
Even in the movie, it was clear to me that Katniss and Gale didn't have much in common. He was trying really really really hard to be chosen for the hunger games, and he does seem to like war a little too much. Katniss on the other hand just wants peace and a "boring" life in a small town, like Peeta.
@@adalon378 I wouldn’t say that Gale was trying hard to get into the Hunger Games at all. The only reason why he has so many entries is because he was determined to make sure he could feed his family (by getting extra tesserae and oil for each member of his family, which means more entries each year) without letting his younger siblings enter their names more. If Gale went to the Hunger Games, he would not be able to take care of his family, which would be his worst nightmare. I agree that Gale was too war-hungry, but otherwise him and Katniss were extremely similar. Too similar, whereas Peeta compliments her and challenges her to be better
@@adalon378what is your definition of hooked up? They kissed, once. That's all she's ever said about them being physical
* wanted to make sure I was remembering correctly so I just looked it up and she actually just recently gave an interview because of the whole Flowers by Miley Cyrus rumors and she said she was happy to address and finally put it to rest that they never hooked up and she's only shared an off-screen kiss with him once during filming while he and Cyrus were broken up.
Haymitch competed in the last quarter quell, year 50. The twist that year was that there were DOUBLE THE TRIBUTES meaning that he had to beat 47 other people instead of the usual 23.
Was this in the books??
@@mindofliz1298 it was
@mindofliz1298 in the books Effie actually got them tapes on all the other tributes/victors they were fighting or still alive, Haymitches game was the one they were debating to even watch. He won against the other last tribute by ducking(letting himself drop) right when she threw an axe at his head at the edge of the arena. She threw, he dropped, the axe hit the force field, and it deflected back at her face.
A thing the movies don’t touch on is that Peeta’s disabled, they had to amputate his leg, and he had to wear a prosthetic. That’s why during the fog he was tripping so much, he wasn’t used to his leg
He doesn't even lose his leg in the movie, that was one of my biggest issues, as besides the PTSD they've erased both Katniss (deaf in one ear) and Peeta's disabilities after the first game.
@@ryanfaure3120 But Kantiss's ear was mendet after the games, they also let all her scares from the games vanish.
This is why I need to read the books. For stuff that wasn't shown in the movies
@@ryomahoshi4529you won’t be sorry. It’s a different experience. The movies in my opinion are some of the best adaptations I’ve seen. But like most they have to cut scenes which changes all the relationships.
@@bitterrootsimmer I will probably buy them off amazon when I have some free time
Finnick is literally like my favourite fictional character ever. Book Finnick was even better! I literally named my son after him (I always wanted Finn but his dad wanted something more powerful and it was actually his mum that suggested Finnick knowing we were both fans)
Bro that is so amazing omfg. I love that.
Aww love this.
Somehow I wana name one of my kids Cinna or Rue ❤️
But love Finn too
Wow its amazing❤
@@albataliephillips4271 I wanna name one of my kids Katniss because she’s my favorite main character in any book I ever read
finnick's fate in mockingjay literally BROKE me when i first read the book like... legitimately COULD. NOT. BELIEVE that they did that to him because i thought he would have main character plot armor and never die....... kept flipping back to the page and re-reading what happened because my mind couldn't wrap around what the fuck i was reading... as you can tell i'm still scarred about it all these years later lmao
The baby bomb in the books was so funny too cuz Katniss actually believes it herself for a sec 😂
She was like “did we do something on the train am I like tripping or something?”😂
One of the saddest parts is when they take katniss and peeta straight to the train after the reaping. In the books, you're in Katniss' thoughts and she explains that she's resigned herself to dying. She just wants Peeta to survive. Them not giving her a chance to say goodbye is heartwrenching because she expects to never see them again. Her last little cry of "goodbye" before they close the doors hurts my soul. 😭
Backstory on Finnick. He actually has a sad one. After he won his games, he was sold around the capital as a pr0st!tute and when he refused snow threatened to kill his family. So instead of money from his “patrons” he asked for secrets. Which actually came to be rather useful in navigating the Capitol
Which also Johanna also has a similar story. She was also almost forced into pr0st!tution but when she refused snow killed everyone she loved. Which is why she makes the comment “they can’t hurt me, there’s no one else that I love” because snow killed them all because she wouldn’t do what Finnick did.
And haymitch's existence was an example to show those victors not to defy or do anything that would show the capital in a bad light.
Which is disgusting because they were still kids.
The thing with Peeta's painting of Rue is, I think, an outright mistake in adaptation, judging by how many people misread it... and how fair that misreading is. In the book, the Gamemakers were so disturbed that Katniss's assessment was half an hour or so late while they cleaned it up, and she didn't find out about it until Peeta told everyone later in the apartment. That would be too talky for the movie, so I get why they changed it, but people reading it as a psy-op against Katniss by the gamemakers really is a more likely scenario based on what's on screen.
I'm pretty sure the rules say the tributes can't see what the previous tribute did so they had to try to clean it up but didn't really success so they just put a mat on it. I'm pretty sure Katniss sees it during the evaluation and snaps and does the Ceneca dummy thing.
@@alinac5512 No she doesn't see it, but she can see how shaken the game makers were, and she knew that Peeta did something that would get him in trouble, so she decided she had to do something worse to get the heat off of Peeta. That's why she does what she does.
Would have probably helped if they had showed more paint on Peeta so people know he painted it.
@@4Tom4lepus4yes! Or at least if we had a scene of Peeta showing katniss his paintings he did that he does to cope with the trauma then maybe it would be easier for people to guess that it was him. Since the movies didn’t show Peeta’s whole painting thing at all
idk why but when i watched the movies before i read the books i thought my gal MAGS painted rue.. idk why js very in character. i think in the books she took a NAP for her assessment. slay
Peeta made the painting, he went before Katniss. They were supposed to show off their skills, and he drew Rue 🥺
what Elizabeth Banks & Woody Harrelson brought to the characters of Effie & Haymitch took the characters to such an amazing depth I absolutely LOVE the direction they chose for both the characters in the films
I love that you love Peeta. But if you love him in the movies you will absolutely fell for him much stronger after reading the books
Its funny, I'ved watch a bunch of reactions to these movies, and most can do without gale. In the books, it better portrays, that katniss loves gale more like a brother, but plays along because she doesn't want to hurt his feelings. With peeta, she is just confused how she feels, because it came out nowhere that in the middle of preparing to fight for her life that peeta confesses to having a crush on her since they where little. Then she was forced to pretend without really time to process it.
That's explained perfectly.
Gale still sucks. Movies and Book lol
I actually disagee, katniss definitely has romantic feelings towards gale, i think she even says they probably would have ended up together if her life had turned out different. But she realizes that gale and her wouldn't have been a good match and would have been fighting their entire lifes. Whereas peetas soft energy is what she actually needs in her life, they complement each other. She was also confused because she saw being with peeta as plan of the capitol and being with gale as a choice for the rebellion. It is only when she is completely free that she can listen to her actual feelings.
@Chris-pu6eb I think its just pity attraction not actual attraction. She says it in a way that seems "Oh well ill settle with Gale I guess." In a nonchalant way but she cafes WAY more for Peeta
@@purpleclaws202 definitely yes! But i wouldn't say she sees him like a brother haha
this movie made me FALL SO HARD for Peeta, he is just the sweetest🤭i get that everyone has a type, but how could you really hate on Peeta. He's smart, strong, caring, selfless, cunning, handsome, he's the whole package💕
Girl peeta is the greenest green flag i want him too👀 and btw i love ur edit😂
Righttt he is 🥰 and thank you 😉
You can see at 24:52 the moment Finnic realizes katness actually loves peeta and isn’t just putting on a show! I never saw that before!
Yes exactly
I'm jealous of the people that get to watch this movie for the first time. What a masterpiece
I’m jealous but at the same time watching them when the hype was so huge and seeing it in theatres softens it a bit
catching fire is widely considered the best book and movie, i wish the movie was longer bc the book is incredible, it really shows how insanely wonderful peeta is
7:31 the fact that we don’t see her father after he started that riot in the last movie is so sad😢
Oh wow I actually never realized that. Ouch
They really did put their blood, sweat and tears into their performances. Seeing them stand there looking out into the crowd after Peeta volunteers for haymitch and thinking of the trauma they’ve already experienced just breaks my heart and then being forced to go thru it all over again. Hurts to see and makes me wanna cry despite seeing this movie in particular so many times already considering it’s my favorite, that’s how amazing they are
A lot of the costumes for Katniss didn't live up to the book descriptions but they nailed it with the wedding dress burning away and turning into a Mockingjay.
her reaction man made realize the books would've traumatize her 😄
Starting my journey looool I’m on the first book
@@MiyaElizabethReacts you definitely do a video on your thoughts and opinions specifically about what was left out of the movies and the changes
@@MiyaElizabethReacts Peeta never had the rise or confidence to talk to Katniss
This is one of those rare movie series where I would say every movie is better than the one before it but they all must be watched together because the compounding story and character progression is a freaking master class
To answer the question about the salute with the three fingers: there are two different meanings. It's worth noting that regular communication between the districts is forbidden, so each district has its own distinct culture. The salute began in District 12 as a sign of farewell. But when the other districts saw Katniss doing it for Rue (directing it at the camera), it took on a completely different meaning for them. That's why it was so harshly punished when it was done by any district other than 12, because in the other districts, it's a signal to rebellion.
There's a story behind why Johanna says, "they can't hurt me... there's no one left that I love," and I don't think it's ever explicitly stated in the movies, but I can't explain it just yet without spoiling something that _is_ explained for Finnick.
35:15 help I f*cking died at the visceral reaction you had to gale appearing during this traumatic scene😭😭😭 cuz girl me too, I involuntarily sigh when he appears on the screen💀💀💀
😂😭😭😭
Could you please explain to me the short and sweet of why "we don't like Liam?" Back when the last movie had recently been released, I got into the series and during its youth, Peeta vs Gale was like the Edward vs Jacob of shipping wars. Though I'm glad most have come to common sense that Peeta is best boy, I don't understand why Gale's actor, Liam, is "ew?" I usually stay out of drama and haven't heard anything about this other than his divorce with Miley Cyrus. Thanks!
The three finger salute is explained in the book: It means thanks or admiration. One way to say goodbye to someone you love or respect. It was an amazing video c:
Honestly, with both Peeta and Josh Hutcherson…until my jaw locks.
EVERYONE is team peeta, you are definitely not alone baby
edit: catching fire is my fave of all 4! i think it's a whole lot of people's fave
Not Everyone. But I cannot be in a team Gale either, couse Gale deserve someone much better then her, and it's a good thing she eliminated herself from his circle.
You are right she kinda played with both of them
Baboon Scene "Can you eat them?"
Gagged, gobsmacked, died and resurrected from that comment LMAO.
i love how you call president snow the one with the "funky beard" when seneca crane (the head game maker from the first movie) literally had the FUNKIEST beard of all time😂
Peeta is an underrated character in these movies. And he's one of the best teen love interest I've ever seen. You have no idea how refreshing it is to have a Young adult love interest that isn't a douchbage.
I’ve been in love with Peeta for well over 10 years now. I don’t mind sharing him though haha.
Thanks for the reaction 🙃
also the real reason peeta couldn't run away fast enough from the fog (and had to be carried by finnick in the books, causing him to have to leave Mags behind) is because peeta lost his leg after the first games and was still getting used to his prosthetic
I love all of the movies, and they do get progressively better after each one, but Catching Fire was my ABSOLUTE favorite. Between the plot twists, the games, the outfits, the shocks, Peeta and Katniss, I was GLUED to my screen the ENTIRE MOVIE🤭
I fell in love with Effie in this movie. She went from the annoying, Im above you, person from the capitol. To Caring and loving for them. You can feel the little family vibe from all of them. Also I’m not entirely 100% sure but I think in the books they mentioned there being a force field on their apartment balconies to keep the ones chosen for the games from jumping to their death.
Peeta, the ultimate husband material.
More important than money, their winnings include food. The victors win shipments of food for their districts, which is why they call it the hunger games.
I'm so happy you're loving THG ! Catching Fire both book and movie is most people's favourite, and it is mine too. This movie is just so so good. Peeta is the sweetest character ever so happy to see you love him too.
not the " I would have folded" lmaooo STAND UP
🤣
NO BCS I LITERALLY WATCHED YOUR FIRST HUNGER GAMES REACTION YESTERDAY AND NOW YOU'VE POSTED THE SECOND ONE TODAY!!! 💖✨️
So glad I found your channel your content is so good 💖
I just came across her first reaction a few hours ago 😂😂😂
I love peeta so much, he's great
Peeta is the golden retriever boyfriend we all need 😭
Nah. German Shepherd like Gale much better. They give you strength, protection and their proficiency. Of cource not for the bltch like Katniss.
@@LSG101097 are you okay? these are fictional characters 😭
The way I was yelling at the beginning. Like, no! We love Finnick! But he does play his role very well. Finnick's story and trauma in the books is absolutely heartbreaking. These are honestly pretty good adaptations but there is so much important detail missing, detail that explains why Joanna is the way she is and Finnick and Haymitch because for the three of them especially, it is so much than the trauma of the arena. The things the Capitol did to Finnick and Joanna...
And yes, Peeta is a walking green flag. I maintain that Peeta is one of the most emotional intelligent characters ever created.
It is explained a bit better in the books, but the whole point was that tributes from several districts promised to help protect Katniss and Peeta. They had this huge plan to get Katniss out of the arena hence why Johanna got Beetee and Wiress out in order for them to build the tree contraption. The camouflage girl protected Peeta because everyone knew that Katniss wouldn’t care to be the Mockjngjay is he was dead; this was also a part of Haymitch’s promise to Katniss, which was to keep Peeta safe no matter what. Without spoiling the 3rd movie, *someone* and *some people* had a plan to start a revolution against The Capital and they wanted Katniss as the symbol. She was one of the only people who defied The Capital and got away with it. She was the symbol for hope.
There’s a reason why I love Johanna it’s because unlike Katniss who we see is nice and sensitive she’s abrasive and mean but she genially cares about Katniss especially because she’s like a little sister to her
Peeta is great in the movies. I do wish they'd gotten more of his sass & stubbornness from the books, but Josh killed it.
Fun fact: the first time I watched this in the movies, my whole theater clapped when Katniss destroyed the arena. 😂
Oh man, they need to bring these back to theaters for at least two months
I absolutely love Effie!
Fantastic reaction once again.
Many thanks from your Kiwi viewer down her in New Zealand 🇳🇿.
God Bless.
I love that you were immediately team peeta. And the gale slander is incredible. You understood the assignment.
Finnick Odair is *chef's kiss*
15:18 I like how haymitch is talking about the other victors like sports celebrities
Catching Fire is definitely my favorite of the four. The next two are also really good but the last one is heavy for sure. Hell yeah, team Peeta! Gale can go cry in a corner. Love watching these reacts! Thanks!
Just gotta add that no matter how horrifying and dystopic the games are, they got some really creative energy there. Would love to just read stories about all the different maps that were created :D
personally, id LOVE to read the different games that happened. like haymitch's one bc his was deadly. it doesn't even have to be a full book even just a novella just to see that man in action man xD or even a whole ass book that contatined a collection of stories about noteworthy games, just to see how the other victors one. that wouldve been interesting as well ugh
I'm so glad you're enjoying this series. I can't wait to see your next videos.
Personally I love Catching Fire, but there's a scene in Mockingjay part 1 that is my absolute favorite in the entire series.
Your edits are hilarious and always on points. It makes the reactions so engaging 👏🏽👏🏽
I love this movie. And I love your reaction ! I just finished reading the whole book series and I can't think of anything else !! Peeta is really sweet. I think they did great with casting Josh Hutcherson.
This reaction was worth the wait! I adore you
🥲💖💖
you having absolute beef with finnick and then him turning out to be an ally was hilarious af 😂😂😂
You remembering the names of all of the innocent/kind people and forgetting the names of the ones depicted as ruthless is actually really touching. You remember everyone’s name who was just a victim(except fox face but that’s not even her real name). It’s like your brain immediately decides it’s not worth remembering the people who are ruthless and it’s better to use that space to remember characters who were as good as they could be in the situation they were born into. That definitely says something great about your character
1. You’re so pretty
2. I am so down bad for peeta!
Girl me tooooo and thank you 😉💖
Lol because of your first reaction i went back and watched all the movies and im gonna re-read the books. I forgot how much i loved this franchise
Peeta seems very fragile at the beginning of this game because at the end of the first book he loses part of his leg and uses a prosthetic. That's why 5:38 in this part they fall in the snow...
Peeta is one of my favorite literary characters. He is not that strong, mysterious and irresistible. He is kind, welcoming, intelligent and loyal.
You should read the books, it's a pleasure to get to know him better! You would fall more in love with him 😍
Great reaction!!
The movie itself is well thought out and acted. If you enjoy reading books, I really recommend picking up the trilogy that Suzanne Collins wrote. I was waiting for that reaction of yours and I was not disappointed.
Thanks!🖤
Ps.
*16:16* Fire melts snow ;)
I'm sure somebody else has already explained this, but in case they haven't, the three-fingered salute is a gesture of respect/gratitude/farewell from District 12, where they would mainly use it at funerals to show their love for someone departed, but during the games Katniss kind of gave it a whole new meaning and now it's a symbol of defiance as well as pure love
I’ve been a fan of this franchise ever since 2012 and I still tear up
i’m glad i stumbled upon your first hunger games reaction a couple days ago! cant wait for you to watch the rest of the movies. love your content :’)
Peeta is the one that painted Rue on the floor, to anger Katniss and remind her who the real enemy is
I don’t think he did it for katniss at all, he did it to make the gamemakers angry at him and to hold them accountable for what they did. In the book katniss never even saw the painting since the gamemakers tried to wash it up and put a mat over it to cover it up but Katniss knew Peeta made them angry. I think he also wanted them to angry at him and chose to kill him off rather than katniss, so katniss had to one up him so they focus on killing her instead.
I know it’s different in the movie since katniss sees it, in a deleted scene for the movie Peeta even says ‘I never meant for you to see that’ talking about the Rue painting, so I don’t think he was trying to get katnuss angry in any way since he doesn’t want her to do anything that would get her killed off since his main goal is having Katniss live
Darling if u do ANY movie series next you should do NARNIA I literally never see people react to them so it would be unclaimed territory as well as it’s visually stunning
YES
peeta is THE book husband
The fact that you’re literally supporting Peeta every other second 🥳 as you should
The way I was WAITING on your reaction to this 🤣
Oh my God. When you said you can’t hear without your subtitles, I felt that.
Just watched your _The Hunger Games_ video and it was wonderful. Felt like I was watching with a friend.
I love how you had the same thinking process as Katniss in the books with not trusting other tributes and finding out about the revolution haha
Girl! I HIGHLY recommend reading the books. They give so much information on ALL of the characters! If you don't like reading, the audiobooks also work! It will answer so many questions that the movie didn't have time to hash out.
I did NOT realize how MUCH of a sweetheart Peeta is until this video and I've seen these movies a million times!! Ahh I love it but it also breaks my heart!! 😭😭
Peeta is everything! The movies don’t do him justice since they take 80% of his personality away and a lot of katniss and Peeta’s scenes were cut from the movies, especially the first one ruins him and Josh Hutcherson would’ve ate book Peeta’s personality up because he’s so witty and snarky but it’s also great to see how people still love Peeta’s character anyway cause he’s that good!
Every time I watch this movie, I still wonder why Katniss would touch the fog! Like girl your in the quarter quell it can’t be good!
It's so cool to see a reaction from someone who didn't read the books before watching the movies. I love both but I kinda wish I had the same feeling of surprise and excitment for not knowing what was gonna happen next. Thank you for sharing you experience!
People who hate on Peeta make no sense to me. All they will say is "oh he has to be rescued all the time".......like that's all they got and they know it😭 that's the only "flaw" that Peeta has, which shouldnt be SUCH A BIG DEAL when it comes to his character, but whatever......if you like it i LOVE IT😭
yeah, sorry it makes him look weak. also, i don't love the actor playing him but other than that hes a sweetie
@@JessLoveyy at least you can admit his good traits. There’s some people who be saying that “Peeta is so petty and mean” and I’m just like “are you watching the right movie??”😭😭
Also the movies cut out a huge part of the reason why peeta had so much trouble getting around and what not in the 2nd film. He literally lost a leg in the 1st games and still wasn't used to his prosthetic leg in the 2nd. They cut his disability out in the movies
I think the movies cutting how a lot of Peeta’s strengths and also cutting out him losing a leg doesn’t help, cause a big reason he was struggling is because of having to run around with a prosthetic leg he wasn’t fully used to in a jungle area filled with vines. Plus they don’t explain or show how much Peeta actually saves Katniss life as well and how important he is.
Like the first movie having Peeta fall in training and have the careers laughing at him and so Katniss has to tell Peeta to show his strength was a bit strange to me. Considering in how in the book that never happens because Peeta actually does well in training, he excels in hand to hand combat which katniss sucks at and Cato is also impressed and comments on how Peeta is skilled with a knife. Peeta with the careers saved katniss life by leading them the wrong ways while she was dehydrated and then attacked Cato 1on1 to stop him coming for Katniss since she was too disoriented that she was just sitting there which is how his leg was so injured in the first place. Then Peeta also killed that girl from district 8 since the careees didn’t kill her properly.
Then in catching fire they took out Peeta’s whole training thing, he was so mad after the quarter quell was announced and Katniss and Haymitch got drunk and he threw out all the liquor and went into personal trainer mode and forced Katniss and Haymitch to get it together and train every day to become careers and even though Haymitch couldn’t handle it, Peeta’s forced training got both himself and Katniss a lot stronger and capable and Peeta also studied every single tributes games every night to learn about them. He was that strict because he wanted both Katniss and Haymitch to live to the point that Katniss missed Peeta being soft and comforting. I think the movies cutting these out make Peeta look weaker, cause yeah he’s softer and sweet but he’s just as stubborn as katniss is at points and even though in the books Peeta is too injured the whole time to do anything with the force field and his leg, later on when Peeta feels better he manages to kill Brutus from district 2 with his bare hands for killing Chaff who is Haymitch’s friend. Brutus is one of the toughest and most brutal tribute and it shows that Peeta’s training payed off and is a lot more powerful than people think.
Even in the books, Katniss is first worried at how Finnick and Johanna keep trying to split them up before the jabberjays happen and then she stops worrying because the way they split them up doesn’t make sense because Peeta would be able to overpower Johanna easily. Katniss herself thinks this even knowing how brutal Johanna is, so he’s definitely not weak at all.
I'm right there with you with the swooning for Peeta. I was down bad for him years ago when I first watched/read this story and even now, years later this man keeps making me feel things. Also, loooove your edit style!
Words can't describe how much this movie touches my heart, I've never cried in any other movie in my life and can we just talk about how the perfect man is peeta.
I love Peeta i hope i'll get a Peeta i hope everyone will have a Peeta
is one of my favorite love interest in movies or shows
Someone might have already said this, but at the end of the first book Peeta gets his leg amputated and would definitely still be getting used to it. In the book his artificial leg gets caught on something and he falls face first while they are running from the fog. She has to help him up and why the time he gets him up the fog renders his legs useless. It doesn’t go to in depth, but the mention that he tripped due to that leg specifically (it is called his artificial leg) suggested the fact it was artificial has something to do with it, especially since it is rarely mentioned.
I mean the whole bread incident probably maybe him a little hesitant to make a move
14:29 Effie’s outfit here is the archived Alexander McQueen with some additional butterflies applied to her skin. Even her lashes have butterflies, they’re from a brand that makes paper lashes with all sorts of designs. The attention to detail in the costuming + hair & makeup in the movies is really incredible.
Ugh I love Finnick so much
10:53 every time I see this scene, I wish that they had kept in the part where he showed Katniss his watching and the mockingjay symbol flashed on the screen for a split second.
But maybe the director thought that would be too obvious.
This one is my favorite, but I really enjoy all of them. The next one broke my heart
“its gonna be herrr!” meanwhile katniss was nawttt on the road to victory in that final stretch 😂
Ive watched this film twice, and i only just realised how many times peeta nearly dies.
Fun Fact, Johanna Mason undresses in the elevator because in the first games Katniss was squeamish about exposing Peeta in the nude when she was trying to help him with his wounds so her doing this in the elevator in front of the fiancee in question was the ultimate middle finger to her.
