Donald Sutherland, a Canadian and father of Keifer Sutherland, is the actor playing President Snow. He is a very well known character actor. He has a place on both the Canadian and Hollywood Walk of Fame. He is memorable in The Dirty Dozen, Kelly's Heroes and M*A*S*H. He wanted the part because he considered the books and the story to be very important for particularly young people to understand power politics and war.

The drink offered to Peeta at the party is not alcohol it is to cause vomiting so he will have room in his stomach for more food. It comes from a very old practice during the Roman Empire. Haymich uses alcohol to cope with trauma. He is very important to their survival first when he convinces the game maker to have 2 winners in the first games and in this one he starts out saving Katniss' life when she interferes with Gale being whipped and sets up with Plutarch and the rest of the tributes. Always remember the series was designed to show how politics, propaganda and war work and how people feel about it.

I'm unsure about filming location, but District 12's location is roughly near the Appalachian mountains in North America. The cinematography of this film is much different because of the change of director. Some people hate the first film's shaky cam, but it serves as a way to show how unstable and disorienting Katniss' situation is. The shakiness gets worse during fight scenes, for instance. In this film, when she has financial security and more self-assuredness, the camera movement becomes much more steady. Some added context, without going into spoiler territory: - The scene with Peeta giving her the bread was fleshed out quite a bit in the books. Katniss was digging through the bakery's trash cans looking for food. Peeta's mother found her and yelled at her to stop it. Katniss crossed the path and sat under their tree to starve to death (she wouldn't have been able to even walk all the way home). Peeta heard this whole exchange and burned two loaves of bread on purpose. Peeta's mother is abusive and beats her kids. He knew he would be severely beaten for burning bread, even on accident, as their finances weren't great at that point either, but they could at least survive. He did it anyway, knowing his mother would tell him to go feed the bread to the pigs. He went to do that and after making sure she wasn't looking, he threw her the two loaves of bread. Katniss could eat and make it home to feed her family. The next day, it was the start of spring. After school, she saw Peeta and his bruised face. She saw the first dandelion of the spring sprouting and that in combination with Peeta's act of kindness gave her the courage and motivation to go hunting on her own for the first time. - Katniss hates feeling like she owes people, because she only trusts herself to take care of her and her family. She doesn't want to take hand outs. She feels guilt towards Peeta for never thanking him or doing anything in return for the bread. This also means that she struggles with accepting help and trusting people, hence her taking a long time to accept that Finnick is actually trying to help them in this movie. - It's rarely stated directly in the books, but Katniss' cold exterior is a front she has learned to put up. After her father died when she was 11, her mother went near catatonic due to her depression and stopped working. The three women in her household were quite literally starving to death until the bread incident. At age 11, she had to step up and be the adult of the household and take care of her little sister. Katniss appears cold, but she is, at heart, a caretaker and wants to help people. The coldness is a front to protect her and Prim, but also to avoid getting attached to people. In the books, she says she doesn't want children for as long as the Games exist and people live in poverty. This means she's not opposed to kids in general, just when they can't be safe. This caring nature is also why she gets attached to Rue, Mags, Wiress and Beetee, as they are the ones who can't really defend themselves. - During the first Games, Katniss faked a lot of stuff for the cameras, but not all of it. The book spends a lot more time in the cave. She felt attracted to Peeta and enjoyed kissing him. They spoke a lot about home and the things they love, including Katniss' love for her sister. She even thinks at one point while they are sleeping that this is the first time she has felt this safe since her dad died, and this is while she is IN the Hunger Games. She can however not allow herself to fall in love. She has been so focused on protecting and providing that she has never really even thought about romance. She also feels that LOGICALLY, she should be with Gale (he's a good provider, caretaker and has been the only man in her life for four years) despite only loving him as a best friend / family. Couple her trust issues with her guilt feelings about Gale, as well as resentment at their relationship being 'born out of the Capitol' / as an act, and it makes sense why Katniss cannot accept her feelings for Peeta. The thing is, love doesn't give a shit about all of that. Her love for Peeta creeps up on her, despite her protests, and she finally realises it on the beach in this film. - We find out that Peeta has loved her from a distance for a long time, but was too shy to approach her due to her badass and closed off nature. We also hear that Peeta's father actually loved Katniss' mother, but she married a miner with a beautiful singing voice that would silence the birds around him to listen (Katniss' dad). Peeta first starts liking her when they are 5 and he hears her singing in music assembly and the birds quiet down as well. - Katniss and Peeta's skillsets compliment each other. Katniss is a survivor and is skilled at ranged combat, but sucks at handling her feelings and can't act for shit. Peeta is incredibly emotionally intelligent and great at acting and manipulating an audience, along with being really strong and a great wrestler. Peeta however has nearly no survival skills, growing up far more privileged than Katniss, and would die to natural causes without Katniss in the arena. He also can't aim at all, which is pretty funny. - Peeta's line about her "looking at me as if I'm wounded, I can stop acting like it" means even more in the book. Yes, he's referring to the love act and his hurt feelings, but he also lost a leg in the first book and has been an amputee for only a few months at this point in the book. Along with the typical trauma of the games that Katniss has as well, he has to deal with a part of him being missing. He HATES being an amputee and dislikes having to rely on his prosthetic leg to get around. It's a constant reminder of what the Capitol put him through. He also feels self-conscious about it and people have been treating him differently because of it, despite him still being the strong and caring Peeta he's always been. The physical limitations it puts on him is also part of why Katniss and Haymitch agree to protect him in these Games. They feel guilt about the act in the last one, about Haymitch prioritising sending Katniss sponsors (even though Peeta would have wanted that in any case) and they also feel he is a better person than both of them and deserves to live more, but they can also acknowledge that he is at a major physical disadvantage this time around and isn't completely comfortable running on the prosthetic leg yet. - The 'love triangle' in the books isn't reallyyyy a love triangle. It's always been pretty clear that Peeta is endgame for Katniss. Her situation doesn't allow her to really worry about that, but the Games and her feelings of guilt towards Gale push her towards him. Taking a look at her inner dialog though, Katniss never feels desire or passion with Gale and tries to convince herself she should love him romantically, whereas she can't stop herself from thinking about and growing to love Peeta, despite herself trying hard not to. Peeta would always win her over, Games or no Games.

In case you were confused about what Katniss and Peeta were supposed to be when they were riding into the tribute parade, they’re lumps of coal that ‘caught fire’. District 12 deals with coal production, so while abnormal to tradition, the spirit of the display was still true to District 12.

The electrified fence in the beginning was a masterfully bit of subtle world building. It gives a hint that the Capitol’s power is all based on illusion and fear. The electric fence was likely never intended to fully work, it was meant for people’s belief and fear that it worked to keep them caged in their zone.

@davidfairweather33013 ай бұрын
It was mainly due to the fact district 12 was left alone by the capitol cos their district trade had become so unimportant. Their technological advances probably led to coal being less and less desired. Because of this, district 12s security and overall budget was a lot less than other districts. When Rue talks to Katniss about district 11, Katniss actually feels grateful about being in 12, cos there is very little capitol interference. As long as they meet their quotas, the capitol don’t care about them. Whereas with district 11, they produce a lot of the food going to the capitol. So security is much stricter. The fence in district 12 was rarely turned on cos the district barely had electric

Hii, about johana (girl that undress in the elevator), get undressed in front of katniss just as a way to make fun of her , it's not showed on depth in the movies but it does in the books, katniss is a child first of all (16) so it makes sense , but she's very modest with her body in comparison to other tributes, she doesn't show a lot of skin and when her team pick her up clean her and take her to cinna she's very self aware and extremely uncomfortable with being exposed in any physical way (in underwear, naked, even show a little of skin, be seductive, etc those kinda things) she's also uncomfortable with other peoples nudity, sadly they would purposely make this kids appeal more desirable in case of girls to get esponsors in the arena in a subtle way, short dress in case of glimmer (blond in the puffy dress in the interviews first movie) see how shes even presented in a flirty way, they definitely sexualized tributes as a society it's not very evident in the movies but it's subtlety described in the books. A good clue about that is that they even wanted to give katniss a boob job ...imagine that shit. It's quite normalized so naturally to the capitol and the other districts she's seems ...to be very puritan in comparison, hence the making fun of her that way. If you are attractive you are desirable, if you are desirable u would get sponsors and if u make it alive they would want something in return, they don't see there kids as people but posetions, another example is in this movie, how they touch her shoulder when she walks into the mansion ...and when a victor from other district just Kiss katniss and everyone laughs...like my guy what the fuck... it's another layer about how fucked up this world really is

If you filmed this a year ago, you may have decided to watch some of the many explanation videos out there about this movie. If not, I suggest you watch a couple or rewatch this movie on something bigger/brighter than on whatever you initially watched it. From the crazy amount of things you missed, I would swear you watched it on a iPhone 5, lol. There are many things going on the background of many scenes, and a lot of the best parts of the filming were lost on you. I'm not complaining, I'm glad you uploaded it. I was just disappointed a little because I could tell early on that you weren't seeing a lot of the subtle details, and I think you may have enjoyed the film a lot more if you could actually see everything. Maybe in the future (particularly with horror movies) you may try to watch on a bigger, brighter screen if you have one available. Once again, not complaining so much as just trying to give a friendly suggestion. Happy holidays!

Something that was left out of this movie that is important to keep in mind for Catching Fire: Peeta lost his leg as a result of his injuries in the Games. Throughout the next movie, remember that he is a recent amputee. When he is clumsy or slower or when people are worried about him - that’s why! They had to keep those attributes for him because of plot reasons but movie watchers often don’t understand why.

@@TricameralPerspective I agree it's a matter of taste and opinion, but I wouldn't want to take a useful tool out of the hands of a director by categorizing its use as "lazy". I wouldn't want to see it used where it wouldn't be appropriate - for example, passionate love scenes or panoramic establishing shots. But for shooting scenes of 12-year-olds being brutally dismembered by machetes and making me feel like I'm an unwilling part of that action, I find it quite compelling. It's not the goal of the director to carefully show you the details of how an expert swordsman can most effectively behead a child; the goal is to create a series of images that instantly conveys the horror of the Games. I understand that people can have different opinions on this topic, but you dismissed the movie on this minor point, saying it was a "no" for you. That's what prompted me to comment. Best wishes on your reaction channel.

when eren acted all intense ( when you thought he is cold blooded intense character from several episodes of season 4) that was an act of his to push everyone away to make him seem like a bad guy who needs to be killed no matter what. that's why you feel like its a lazy writing and such.. because you got fooled into thinking he really had that persona of a psychotic cold heart person. he never was really. that persona was only to keep moving forward whilst pushing everyone away to try to kill him.. get everyone to the position that he saw in the predetermined future that led ymir to her freedom by Mikasa. sure you can not like that approach of writing because you wanted eren to truly be the different person you imagined him to be.. But he never was.. in that sense.. i dont agree with your thoughts about this part to be lazy writing from the author . what i mean is.. mostly people that crafted theories of eren being some sort of an evil coldhearted badass genius or such are the ones that are disappointed in this specific part of the dialog.. eventually you need to realize you made eren something that he was not.. but hey .. after all he acted to make his friends think that way.. and you got fooled as well.. so its logical this part will weird you out in a way. also you need to remember that eren perceives time - past present and future at the same time.. so he is never really stable.. him breaking down infront of armin in some sort of a childish way shows exactly the point of him showing emotions of a teen - shows a true side of him ( the one we didnt see while he acted all intense infront of his friends to push them away.) overall, i dont blame you to feel weirded out by that..but you need to understand that all we have seen in season 4 from eren in his interactions with his friends (mikasa.. armin.. even floch.. the military) are all facades he had to make in order to reach the predetermined future he saw. nothing else. his character always had a specific path that he had to follow. that's the story from beginning to end.

Peeta heard this whole exchange and burned two loaves of bread on purpose. Peeta's mother is abusive and beats her kids. He knew he would be severely beaten for burning bread, even on accident, as their finances weren't great at that point either, but they could at least survive. He did it anyway, knowing his mother would tell him to go feed the bread to the pigs. He went to do that and after making sure she wasn't looking, he threw her the two loaves of bread. Katniss could eat and make it home to feed her family. The next day, it was the start of spring. After school, she saw Peeta and his bruised face. She saw the first dandelion of the spring sprouting and that in combination with Peeta's act of kindness gave her the courage and motivation to go hunting on her own for the first time. - Katniss hates feeling like she owes people, because she only trusts herself to take care of her and her family. She doesn't want to take hand outs. She feels guilt towards Peeta for never thanking him or doing anything in return for the bread. This also means that she struggles with accepting help and trusting people, hence her taking a long time to accept that Finnick is actually trying to help them in this movie. - It's rarely stated directly in the books, but Katniss' cold exterior is a front she has learned to put up. After her father died when she was 11, her mother went near catatonic due to her depression and stopped working. The three women in her household were quite literally starving to death until the bread incident. At age 11, she had to step up and be the adult of the household and take care of her little sister. Katniss appears cold, but she is, at heart, a caretaker and wants to help people. The coldness is a front to protect her and Prim, but also to avoid getting attached to people. In the books, she says she doesn't want children for as long as the Games exist and people live in poverty. This means she's not opposed to kids in general, just when they can't be safe. This caring nature is also why she gets attached to Rue, Mags, Wiress and Beetee, as they are the ones who can't really defend themselves. - During the first Games, Katniss faked a lot of stuff for the cameras, but not all of it. The book spends a lot more time in the cave. She felt attracted to Peeta and enjoyed kissing him. They spoke a lot about home and the things they love, including Katniss' love for her sister. She even thinks at one point while they are sleeping that this is the first time she has felt this safe since her dad died, and this is while she is IN the Hunger Games. She can however not allow herself to fall in love. She has been so focused on protecting and providing that she has never really even thought about romance. She also feels that LOGICALLY, she should be with Gale (he's a good provider, caretaker and has been the only man in her life for four years) despite only loving him as a best friend / family. Couple her trust issues with her guilt feelings about Gale, as well as resentment at their relationship being 'born out of the Capitol' / as an act, and it makes sense why Katniss cannot accept her feelings for Peeta. The thing is, love doesn't give a shit about all of that. Her love for Peeta creeps up on her, despite her protests, and she finally realises it on the beach in this film. - We find out that Peeta has loved her from a distance for a long time, but was too shy to approach her due to her badass and closed off nature. We also hear that Peeta's father actually loved Katniss' mother, but she married a miner with a beautiful singing voice that would silence the birds around him to listen (Katniss' dad). Peeta first starts liking her when they are 5 and he hears her singing in music assembly and the birds quiet down as well. - Katniss and Peeta's skillsets compliment each other. Katniss is a survivor and is skilled at ranged combat, but sucks at handling her feelings and can't act for shit. Peeta is incredibly emotionally intelligent and great at acting and manipulating an audience, along with being really strong and a great wrestler. Peeta however has nearly no survival skills, growing up far more privileged than Katniss, and would die to natural causes without Katniss in the arena. He also can't aim at all, which is pretty funny. - Peeta's line about her "looking at me as if I'm wounded, I can stop acting like it" means even more in the book. Yes, he's referring to the love act and his hurt feelings, but he also lost a leg in the first book and has been an amputee for only a few months at this point in the book. Along with the typical trauma of the games that Katniss has as well, he has to deal with a part of him being missing. He HATES being an amputee and dislikes having to rely on his prosthetic leg to get around. It's a constant reminder of what the Capitol put him through. He also feels self-conscious about it and people have been treating him differently because of it, despite him still being the strong and caring Peeta he's always been. The physical limitations it puts on him is also part of why Katniss and Haymitch agree to protect him in these Games. They feel guilt about the act in the last one, about Haymitch prioritising sending Katniss sponsors (even though Peeta would have wanted that in any case) and they also feel he is a better person than both of them and deserves to live more, but they can also acknowledge that he is at a major physical disadvantage this time around and isn't completely comfortable running on the prosthetic leg yet. - The 'love triangle' in the books isn't reallyyyy a love triangle. It's always been pretty clear that Peeta is endgame for Katniss. Her situation doesn't allow her to really worry about that, but the Games and her feelings of guilt towards Gale push her towards him. Taking a look at her inner dialog though, Katniss never feels desire or passion with Gale and tries to convince herself she should love him romantically, whereas she can't stop herself from thinking about and growing to love Peeta, despite herself trying hard not to. Peeta would always win her over, Games or no Games.
Thanks for taking the time to share! I really appreciate all these tidbits on nunances that I missed because I did not read the books! Much appreciated.
@@TricameralPerspective the beach was filmed at an Atlanta water park the jungle was Hawaii not sure were Katniss and Peeta home is
@@TricameralPerspective Peeta painted Rue to hold the Capitol responsible for her death
BE AWARE WITH MISSION IMPOSSIBLE DEAD RECKONING POSTER ‼️😬😬😬😬 , THE FILM IS DARKER THAN ITS POSTER ‼️😬 , REBECCA FERGUSON'S ILSA FAUST CHARACTER THAT WE LOVED FOR EIGHT YEARS IS BEING KILLED OFF LIKE A CHICKEN AND BECOMING A CORPSE ON THE VENICE BRIDGE IN THIS FILM ‼️😬😬😬💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡😡
I know right, so sad. I saw this movie 4 times in theater, such a good film. And yeah, they did ilsa dirty... It was almost like they fringed her.
“Omg. Haymitch, no.” The most accurate reaction line for this whole series 😂
Nice video idea! Great editing too!
Thanks man, appreciate it!
The movie was directed by the brothers behind the YT Channel Racka Racka. First time directors. (and not the last)
That is amazing! I am definetly gonna check out their channel and I hope to see more work from them.
In case you were confused about what Katniss and Peeta were supposed to be when they were riding into the tribute parade, they’re lumps of coal that ‘caught fire’. District 12 deals with coal production, so while abnormal to tradition, the spirit of the display was still true to District 12.
Ahhh! Good to know. Thanks for the tidbit!
The electrified fence in the beginning was a masterfully bit of subtle world building. It gives a hint that the Capitol’s power is all based on illusion and fear. The electric fence was likely never intended to fully work, it was meant for people’s belief and fear that it worked to keep them caged in their zone.
Exactly, great catch!
It was mainly due to the fact district 12 was left alone by the capitol cos their district trade had become so unimportant. Their technological advances probably led to coal being less and less desired. Because of this, district 12s security and overall budget was a lot less than other districts. When Rue talks to Katniss about district 11, Katniss actually feels grateful about being in 12, cos there is very little capitol interference. As long as they meet their quotas, the capitol don’t care about them. Whereas with district 11, they produce a lot of the food going to the capitol. So security is much stricter. The fence in district 12 was rarely turned on cos the district barely had electric
Here is my reaction to 'Talk to me': kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJV-zsmvgdewp7g.html Check it out!
He will def always be Bjorn Ironside!!
Agreed!
Holy Shit 💩 15 millions for Godzilla -1 🏆
I know right? Very cheap to make compared to most Hollywood blockbusters.
I don't know if you are mentally prepared for Mockingjay Part 1 (very psychological, less action) and Part 2 (harrowing!!)....oooof
Solid List! Still have yet to see that Dungeons and Dragons film
Thanks Bro. You should absolutely check it out. It was incredible.
Disturbing is exactly what this movie was i didnt sleep well for a long time after watchin this
same. I am still yet to rewatch this movie years later.
The director for this film, both Mockingjays and the current film is Francis Lawrence. But Gary Ross directed the first one. Their styles are quite different. I believe the cinematographers were also different but I'd have to IMDb it.
Hii, about johana (girl that undress in the elevator), get undressed in front of katniss just as a way to make fun of her , it's not showed on depth in the movies but it does in the books, katniss is a child first of all (16) so it makes sense , but she's very modest with her body in comparison to other tributes, she doesn't show a lot of skin and when her team pick her up clean her and take her to cinna she's very self aware and extremely uncomfortable with being exposed in any physical way (in underwear, naked, even show a little of skin, be seductive, etc those kinda things) she's also uncomfortable with other peoples nudity, sadly they would purposely make this kids appeal more desirable in case of girls to get esponsors in the arena in a subtle way, short dress in case of glimmer (blond in the puffy dress in the interviews first movie) see how shes even presented in a flirty way, they definitely sexualized tributes as a society it's not very evident in the movies but it's subtlety described in the books. A good clue about that is that they even wanted to give katniss a boob job ...imagine that shit. It's quite normalized so naturally to the capitol and the other districts she's seems ...to be very puritan in comparison, hence the making fun of her that way. If you are attractive you are desirable, if you are desirable u would get sponsors and if u make it alive they would want something in return, they don't see there kids as people but posetions, another example is in this movie, how they touch her shoulder when she walks into the mansion ...and when a victor from other district just Kiss katniss and everyone laughs...like my guy what the fuck... it's another layer about how fucked up this world really is
Thanks for pointing that out. That is subtext I missed by not reading the books. Appreciate it:)
Sequel reaction here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2qOl5aBoqSscaw.html
If you filmed this a year ago, you may have decided to watch some of the many explanation videos out there about this movie. If not, I suggest you watch a couple or rewatch this movie on something bigger/brighter than on whatever you initially watched it. From the crazy amount of things you missed, I would swear you watched it on a iPhone 5, lol. There are many things going on the background of many scenes, and a lot of the best parts of the filming were lost on you. I'm not complaining, I'm glad you uploaded it. I was just disappointed a little because I could tell early on that you weren't seeing a lot of the subtle details, and I think you may have enjoyed the film a lot more if you could actually see everything. Maybe in the future (particularly with horror movies) you may try to watch on a bigger, brighter screen if you have one available. Once again, not complaining so much as just trying to give a friendly suggestion. Happy holidays!
Your correct I did watch it on my iPad in daylight. It was the beginning days of my channel so I know I missed quite a bit. But I decided to still post it in earnest.
titanic was a real ship
Yeah, I got that.
The second one is GASSSS
I agree, I recently watched it. My reaction will be up soon!
Completely agree, this show is fantastic!
Something that was left out of this movie that is important to keep in mind for Catching Fire: Peeta lost his leg as a result of his injuries in the Games. Throughout the next movie, remember that he is a recent amputee. When he is clumsy or slower or when people are worried about him - that’s why! They had to keep those attributes for him because of plot reasons but movie watchers often don’t understand why.
I see, thanks for telling me. I will keep that in mind for the sequel when I watch it.
@@TricameralPerspective some districts are better off but richer all districts produce something some produce food so they can eat more. in the books some districts made schools and train for the games and have people volunteer
Fuc hollyweird.
Why do you say that? You don't like the trailer.
it looks sick eh
Looks epic!
It's like Mulan but for adults.😄
I haven't seen Mulan yet.
Omg i live arcane i like your poster i was literally just watching arcane for a project just now😂
Same. I love Arcane... might be my favorite animated media of all time. I can't wait for season 2 next year.
Wasting time to tell me all the other movies you've seen the actors in and then complaining about the use of a handheld camera in action scenes is a no for me. I quit about a third of the way through your reaction.
fair enough. I still don't like handheld action scenes. I consider them the easy way out when filming action. It takes a much more skilled and confident director to make action scenes engaging and not use shaky cam. Thanks for watching though.
@@TricameralPerspective I agree it's a matter of taste and opinion, but I wouldn't want to take a useful tool out of the hands of a director by categorizing its use as "lazy". I wouldn't want to see it used where it wouldn't be appropriate - for example, passionate love scenes or panoramic establishing shots. But for shooting scenes of 12-year-olds being brutally dismembered by machetes and making me feel like I'm an unwilling part of that action, I find it quite compelling. It's not the goal of the director to carefully show you the details of how an expert swordsman can most effectively behead a child; the goal is to create a series of images that instantly conveys the horror of the Games. I understand that people can have different opinions on this topic, but you dismissed the movie on this minor point, saying it was a "no" for you. That's what prompted me to comment. Best wishes on your reaction channel.
@@crairdin To you it was minor, to me it was not. I sat down to edit this after watching it and I found it even more distasteful because it was used excessively. However, that does not mean I dismissed the entire film(that would be ridiculous). I still enjoyed it for the most part. I am also in no way advocating that it be removed entirely as a filming technique, just that it should be used appropriately and sparingly.
@@crairdinto be fair, it’s a pretty common take that Gary Ross overused the use of the handheld camera. Had he executed it well, it would be fine - but the shaky cam didn’t add to the movie overall, it hindered it. Look at the reaping scene and the “I volunteer as tribute” bit. There’s a literal jump cut right there cos someone messed up and they didn’t get the right take, so they mashed 3 takes together and it looks weird af.
@@davidfairweather3301 Fair enough, but I've watched these movies multiple times prior to watching any reactions on KZread, and never noticed the handheld camera until watching this and two other reactors. Since the time this discussion got started I've watched a dozen other reactors and nobody else has mentioned it. It's just a filming technique and it works well in the scenes where it's used in THG. But - it's all a matter of opinion, and that's what we're here to see.
The dream sequence shows her dads death in the mines followed by her mam withdrawing from everything including self care and care for her kids due to the intense greif. That leads to them almost starving to death until Peta throws her the bread. The warmth of the bread kept her going till she got home and they feasted on the bread and she foraged in the woods for the first time for things to go with it the next day. She saw a dandelion (or daffodil) symbolising the start of spring, so she now associates them with Peta. Doesn't show it all in the movie but thats the gist
Ah got it! Thanks for sharing, that makes it more clear.
Dandelions not daffodil btw
Ive seen a lot of reactors talk about the shaky camera 😭 I didn't even noticed it moved that much when i first watched this movie. Glad you kept going tho, there's no shaky camera in the next movies. If im not wrong, that strategy was used for keeping the movie R13:) yk keeping the blood and d-word kids at the minimum. Can't wait for you to watch the next one! ❤
Thanks for watching. I hope to have the next one out soon.
I agree with the comment above. When I saw catching fire, I went to your page to look for your review of the first one. I almost didn’t watch because I thought you skipped the first one 😅 and was like he’s gonna be so lost. Then I watched first part and saw it was the first one. Hang with this series. You’re insight is actually very spot on. Not many pick up on the disparities even between districts. So please keep with these movies. The rest are great! And the director is different for the last three. 😊
Thanks for pointing that out, I have now fixed it. Glad you enjoyed my reaction. I appreciate it:)
Quick tip the name of the first movie is The Hunger Games (second movie is Catching Fire) and since is your first time watching it will help with views if you put that in the title.
Gotcha thanks.
This movie came out years ago what are you doing 😂
??
Worst than the previous one?
No, I meant this looks better than the previous one.
The animated series was my favorite show as a kid! Definitely will stay tuned for this live action version
yeah, I am excited too.
when eren acted all intense ( when you thought he is cold blooded intense character from several episodes of season 4) that was an act of his to push everyone away to make him seem like a bad guy who needs to be killed no matter what. that's why you feel like its a lazy writing and such.. because you got fooled into thinking he really had that persona of a psychotic cold heart person. he never was really. that persona was only to keep moving forward whilst pushing everyone away to try to kill him.. get everyone to the position that he saw in the predetermined future that led ymir to her freedom by Mikasa. sure you can not like that approach of writing because you wanted eren to truly be the different person you imagined him to be.. But he never was.. in that sense.. i dont agree with your thoughts about this part to be lazy writing from the author . what i mean is.. mostly people that crafted theories of eren being some sort of an evil coldhearted badass genius or such are the ones that are disappointed in this specific part of the dialog.. eventually you need to realize you made eren something that he was not.. but hey .. after all he acted to make his friends think that way.. and you got fooled as well.. so its logical this part will weird you out in a way. also you need to remember that eren perceives time - past present and future at the same time.. so he is never really stable.. him breaking down infront of armin in some sort of a childish way shows exactly the point of him showing emotions of a teen - shows a true side of him ( the one we didnt see while he acted all intense infront of his friends to push them away.) overall, i dont blame you to feel weirded out by that..but you need to understand that all we have seen in season 4 from eren in his interactions with his friends (mikasa.. armin.. even floch.. the military) are all facades he had to make in order to reach the predetermined future he saw. nothing else. his character always had a specific path that he had to follow. that's the story from beginning to end.
Good points. Thanks for pointing that out. I supposee I judged too harshly considering that he was locked into that future essentially robbing him of the freedom he has so often sought. Thanks for pointing that out.
Really good movie! The acting performances were the best part of the film imo
Don't know how I missed your comment but I agree as well.
"promo sm"
what do you mean?
