Everything GREAT About The Hunger Games! 

P E R I O D

PREACH

With the limited run time of films, I'm glad they cut them and gave the time to much more interesting characters like Effie and Haymitch. If either of them had less screen time than they wouldn't have been done justice at all.

@@artloverivy Yeah I understand that but in a perfect world it would have been nice to see their growth in screen

Ikr I wouldn’t be upset with a guy 3 and a half hour movie if it went more in-depth

My brother thought the same

@@burritodoggo122 same

bro, my mind is BLOWN wtf

I spent five minutes asking my mom what mahogany was cause that point I hadn't seen the movies or read the booksnand she had. I was convinced she misunderstood what i was saying

that has always confused me

rayvids but more traumatized

@@unfortunateanchor1717 *coughs in his profuse drinking*

Alduin the Lord of Dragons that’s only because the capital though he disrespected they, so they killed his mom, brother, and girlfriend, causing him to get a drinking problem

Yes! There's a short fanmade film on RU-vid about that! It's so good!

@@racheldupuis9558 God I remember watching that back when this movie was first released. Insane to see that fan film still talked about almost a decade later

But if you lived there, you'd probably think it was too. It soil be engrained in your mind to think like that by everyone around you.

Why did you call them a Capitol District? Do you mean Career district?

Also youre not starving to death constantly and surviving on scrounged scraps in hovels. Really the odds of being chosen are lottery winner level if the maths is done, its not something to really worry about

Saying that it’s a Capital District is the same as Career District because it is closest to the Capital and the Capital favors them the most...so, the same thing 🤦‍♂️

@@cavespider5377 well sure, but just for the sake of intelligibility, one might as well use the correct nomenclature

It’s even worse in the books. I don’t even remember if he had a speech but his death makes it clear he’s as much of a victim as any other kid there.

I was watching and was just like, "you good Cato??" (I wld probably be a bit more emotional if it wasn't 4am and I was completely dead inside and also didn't really like the film. I didn't like the shaky camera, and I also didn't like the choice of haymitch's actor. a wonderful actor, but he didn't look like I imagined haymitch wld. a matter of opinion, ofc)

Rue’s death was the worst for me I’m still mad she died

BirdyLady 333 : No matter how many times that I watch this movie, I get very emotional when Rue dies. 😩😭🤧

DeathnoteBB actually clove’s death made me realise that

Glitter.Dawn__ Probably won’t. Wish he would

I agree! Please do Catching Fire and both parts of Mockingjay!

#alsomockingjay

HE STILL HASNT AND IM SO SHOOK

I sad :-( 😟😞😢

He became addicted when snow killed his family after he won the hunger games cause if you throw something at the edge of the arena it will fly back and a girl did it to kill him but he ducked down and it flung back at her and killed her so he won but snow didnt like that haymitch figured it out so he killed his whole family

@@naomidon6218 and it was quick thinking as the girl had cut haymitchs stomach open and he was holding his guts in

Craftyii builds No, the Capitol kills your family if you refuse to be turned into a sex slave

DeathnoteBB that’s something that’s not the only occasion learn your stuff you fucking idiot

That is*

THAT IS MAHOGANY!

Misty Whispers, lmao

*ITS A LIE* !

Misty Whispers i knew it was a type of wood but i was dumb and all these years i thought it meant “that is improper !!” or something like that😭

Yeah, your profile pic sums it up nicely

Pretty sure he was joking

That woman was actually named Mags or Maggs I forget which but they are different people.

Madge was the one that wasn’t in the movies right

harry Arney that's not who we're talking about.

It's especially poignant because people think the books are anti-capitalism but they're so CLEARLY anti-socialism, with the government owning and operating all commerce, deciding who gets what

With the genocide happening in Gaza I came back to this movie series and yup sure enough it holds as true as ever

Dude I am ALWAYS saying this and people look at me like I'm insane. I think Suzanne Collins killed it. Even the love triangle is symbolic for how people deal with trauma. I'd take an analysis of these books over Orwell's ridiculous jam-packed essay smack in the middle of 1984 any day. (I really enjoyed 1984, for the record)

Why am I not surprised? XD

Sound so fun 😆

I'm gonna start doing this in my English class where we are writing an Essay on HG

We did that too whenever someone got called on to do a presentation or something the three fingers would go up

Ahhhh it was such a great era

This hits hard. I hope the people you're aiming to read this

As someone with bad PTSD and survivor's guilt, thanks for making this comment. More people need to realize the horrific effects trauma has on you/your brain. I remember reading these books when I was younger and thinking she needed to just get over it. Now I see how naive I was. Not to say I didn't sympathize with her, but I was frequently frustrated by something I just couldn't understand. Catching Fire especially depicts this really, really well. From addiction (Morphlings+Haymitch) to Katniss's freak-outs, it's just gut wrenching and an excellent depiction of PTSD and survivor's guilt.

And yet the Capitol audience is ready to riot when they believe that Katness is pregnant... What is it about status quo people that they will care less about the deaths of children but will freak out over the unborn?

@@TheNoodleIncident Same with the last book I was so close to Katniss understanding throughout all three books with not only the nightmares but starving and having a distant parent, by the third book when she just chose to be silent I understand why with all her pain, loss, torture and so on. The book shows yes about how the world might be like this in a hundred or more years but also shows how trauma and neglect can cause damage.

It’s just one of those adaptation problems. In the books Katniss is stone faced and stoic, it’s a major part of her character that she deliberately tries to never show any feeling. All of the inner awesomeness, and flaws, and nuance, intelligence, cunning, and just overload of emotion happens on the inside. We get to experience that in the books. So when it comes to adapting it, do you stay true to the character but chance the possibility of viewers thinking that she’s wooden? Or do you completely rewrite the character to show who she is on the inside? I personally think they chose correctly. Because we do still see some of Katniss’ inner turmoil, but also the fact that she is so deliberately stoic- and that the latter is a massive part of her character. If she’s not stoic, she’s not Katniss

Carlos Rodriguez Thing is we never know what happens to him. Finnick hits me harder because of Annie and a self-sacrifice win

Luigi Nastro Finnicks death in the book was so unnecassery and stupid.. In the movies however it was pretty good.

I hated how Cinna's death even happened off-screen. I mean, they just said he had died and that's it, he's dead! At least Finnick had a pretty epic demise, especially in the movie.

He dies??? NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!

I hated Finnick's death, because I loved him, but also because he was screaming for help, not to die or for her to run. I realize that she couldn't of helped, but couldn't they had made him scream do it, instead of screaming her name?!

Bro literally how do you become an archer

Brody Mills 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ah, that's my specialty dish!

“Ouch I hurt my ankle, I don’t think I can go this year..”

I saw this comment right as he said it 😂😂😂

Sameeeeee

danisnotonchairs same and I love that he makes a defensive argument for some of sins points.

I stopped watching sins a while back, since it always left me in an angry mood

@@anotherforkingchannel8129 same. At first sins was quite a good way of watching movies i didnt care about too much but still wanted to get the plot of. But now its awful, their sins are stupid and everythings really nitpicky

@Bernd it was. Now its just dumb

go team Gale.

He’s honestly a bit of a jerk in the books tbh i don’t think anyone would see that by just WATCHING THE DAMN MOVIES there’s a lot of detail that goes into his character that no one would’ve noticed in the films bc Peeta does all he humanly Can to get Katniss back even though she’s still confused about her feelings for both of them but she still shows how much she really cares for Peeta bc either way Gale will be just fine on his own

Ikrr

Gale killed katnisses sister...

@@galileadiaz5417 yaeh

''It's just so grim but exciting'' is what basically everyone thought, and I think it's scary how genuiely invested in the games we are lol. There is a weird appeal to see how all the participants use different strategies to try to win. Honestly, I'd love to have short stories that show you the pov of characters like Peeta(how did he convince the careers to accept him, and did he actually kill that kid near the place where Katniss was hiding at the begining), Thresh(what did his area of the games look like, how did Cato kill him), Foxface(how come she saw that district 3 kid constructing mines around the horn of plenty?), and when we look at the second game, I think a pov in the district 1-2 group would be nice(Did they also figure out how the arena works?).

@@legrandliseurtri7495 I personally would love to see a POV of the meth heads. I know they're only mentioned as an afterthought and I'm not sure if they even appear in the book. But it would be interesting

👍

Chiaseeds ABSOLUTELY agreeeeeeed

Not to mention it wasn’t ever confirmed in book 1 whether or not they _were made from_ the dead tributes.

I really wanted them to be werewolves... when you said this I was a bit disappointed

Yeah... that’s just creepy. Katniss questioned whether the capital transplanted the brains of the tributes too. Would’ve been cool if they confirmed it to be true or not but still, downright inhumane

Especially because the mutt that makes her realize it is the one designed after Rue 😭

We love a dramatic queen

*MAHOGOHNEY*

HOW ABOUT ITS JUST BAD MANNERS *CINNA*

When I first saw this movie and heard that line, I thought that she was saying some fancy name of saying “that’s illegal for stabbing a higher statistic person” but ya know, a type of wood works too.

Erin: THAT'S NOT VEGAN

Never thought about it that way. Well done.

You sir, are a genius

Camou-Camou-Camouflage!

Chandler Arndt lol

OH my gosh I never thoght about that

Gaaa I hate it when that happens, once I was stuck like that for window and broken. Weird week. Mahogany mahogany mahogany

It's cas mahogany is expensive wood

"Break it down? Are you kidding, this is hand-carved mahogany." I liked that part of that movie.

Birch

*m a h o g a n y!!!*

Oof size: large

I always view cinna and effi as like a "middle class" if you will ie they are not district poor that they view the games as completely fucked and the reality, but they aren't the rich members of the capital that are desensitised. Like they are trying to make a best if the worst situation type thing in that they are trying to make the tributes feel better

Katniss, in the book, is not referred to as a flower but as a starchy tuber like a potato. And she literally provides sustainance to her family because of her hunting and gathering skills. So yeah, arrows and food. That's Katniss. To refer to her as a flower is ironic, because though she's beautiful she always dismisses her own beauty as utterly irrelevant to her personally.

@@Marialla. actually no, im currently reading book 1 and it specified that she came across the katniss flower which her father said, as long as u have these ull nvr starve

​@@Marialla. Most food plants flower, even tubers. Potato plants have beautiful flowers.

@@underscore_ditto hang on, maybe she noticed the plant because of the flower, but it isn't the flower that is edible. She specifically talked about how the roots, roasted, were as good as any potato. The flower to her was incidental, not the actual thing she was after.

@@Wilhelmena3 that is true. I've even grown potatoes myself, and admired their flowers. But my point stands. The plant has a flower, and maybe it's gorgeous, but Katniss cares about the root because she's trying to stave off starvation, not make a bouquet. And that's perfectly in line with her personality. She doesn't care much about fragile surface things. She cares about the root meanings, and being practical. She's grounded. She would relate to the tuber, not the flower.

Sofia the First oh gosh yess

hahahahah

JackOfSpades yes I know that’s why he’s named Peeta smarty pants, but the way he said it while talking about something so serious and the connection to that made me laugh...? Sorry..? 😂

I think katniss is unable to fight for a better future, she is too focused on herself and what she wants, gale is willing to lose everything for building better a better world

It’s sad that she’s gone. She’s one of my most fav characters.

I cried as well as we didn't know her much we go attached to her

I agree! Definitely added to the atmosphere in this film. Gave it a kind of raw and visceral quality the later movies lacked.

In general action movies utilize shaky cam but they use it unnecessarily

I think the best use of shaky cam was during the reaping. Along with dulled audio it really gives you a good look into the anxiety Katniss had during that moment.

the shaky-cam DOES make me feel sick.. and honestly, that's a good thing? this isn't a feel-good movie

I think they're the same person

@@kristinmartin28 they are not, as per Jeremy’s statement

A few years ago, yes, that would've been an interesting idea but now with the way that Cinema Sins has become... I would pass

May be cool

@@vladgogulancea345 what happened to CinemaSins?

I was in my mid 30s when I read The Hunger Games. I agree with you, there's no age limit on YA fiction. Sometimes I want to read PG13 stuff without gratuitous sex. Plus, everyone who is currently an adult was a young adult at some point, so we can all relate.

While I have lots of "adult" series on my shelves, I also have a lot of "young adult." That's what I'm currently reading, in fact.

iTzz Bowser Jr I’m still waiting for a prequel movie of that games, that part in the book is as good as the other games

I know right? I'd watched the movie first then read the books and asked myself why Haymitch's game wasn't in it at all!

Same hear movie's don't get but that scene hit me hard.

HEATHEN IT'S SPELLED RUE

When I first read it, I was a child, I was like “why was shooting him considered mercy? You just killed him, how does that help?” And now I’m like “ohhhhhhh, that’s so sad! That is totally mercy”

Yeah, i SOBBED. Also I’m the book he was literally sixteen. The same age as Katniss.

*ding*

ding

DirgeOfCerberus111 I agree with those choices just add in "Return to Oz", "A Matt Damon and Emily Blunt film I love called "The Adjustment Bureau" that is an awesome film. Also add "The Princess Bride" and "West Side Story".

Hell yeah! :D

IRON GIANT

Yes. Very yes.

Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm!

Carlos Rodriguez What's your opinion on Lars Von Trier's use of it?

I agree! I love the shaky cam use for the actual game portion, but it makes zero sense to have shaky cam while hunting a deer or showing district 12. I understand his points that it's uncomfortable, but it really is to the point where most of the first portion is unwatchable because it makes me sick to my stomach. The camera work is lightyears better in Catching Fire.

Blacque Jacques Shellaque A lot... a lot of people would disagree with you on Bourne. Bourne used it well.

Carlos Rodriguez Shaky cam, especially with a narrow FoV and a washed-out colour pallet, makes me physically ill and in longer doses will add a migraine to the nausea. I think film-makers forget that shaky-cam has to be considered from a practical, "Will this make my viewers physically uncomfortable?" standpoint as well as a stylistic one.

Just watched Saving Private Ryan yesterday, and that film utilized shaky cam sparingly but appropriately. You're supposed to feel disoriented along with the soldiers.

I haven't seen the last two movies yet, but I'm pretty sure those Capitol kids playing with fake weapons was another visual exposition showing how the Capitol citizens as a whole view the Games, which is just as a form of entertainment rather than seeing actual kids being made to fight to their deaths.

its possible they could be district 1 or 2 kids. in those districts the kids volunteer always, they are trained from a young age to be good fighters then when they reach an appropriate age they volunteer because they believe it brings them honour or something. in return for district 1 and 2's loyalty and acceptance of the way of the world they are treated almost equal. that family could be from district 1 or 2 visiting the capital for the hunger games.

@@jjohnson8549 capital* is the correct spelling. capitol is more american misspelling nonsense

So true, I’m pretty sure this is how they escaped in the arena in catching fire too

No you're wrong

Harry Valiente oh ok I am just stating my opinion,I am sorry if I made you sad

Harry Valiente In your opinion

No, but a lot of stuff is.

Anonymous Freak twilight

R8xanne i jeremy’s voice every time I see or hear the word “twilight”

The_Lost_Son I would totally want to see that. I haven't had a chance to see the movies yet, but I liked the books, and I know a lot of people full-on hate them, so it would be interesting to see it.

+Aengelo Vargas Honestly I liked GhostBusters 2016

The only win is that those films gave us the phrase "Still a better love-story than Twilight."

+DeonteDoesStuff! Firestone I didn't think it was bad as everyone made it to be either

The_Lost_Son im going to be honest.... twilight wasn't bad but the rest were trash

Yeah I’ve been waiting for him to continue as well has he forgotten about it or something

Agreed! it was the best book and movie! After reading it i was so excited for Mocking Jay, I was very disappointed. I actually watched the movie version of Mockinjay first, i did not love it. Then i went to read the book thinking, it must be way better, I was wrong :P

not so sure about the books, but Catching Fire was definetly the best movie.

It really was the best book, the last book is just.... blegh

YES!!! I agree so much!!! By far my fav movie/book of the series, mostly for Finnick, but it's just so compelling in general

Catching Fire is fucking amazing. I'm not a fan of Hunger Games at all but damn this movie is so great!

Gemma Stockley damn it I was writing that in a sec

anyone else realise PEETA is a BAKER. peeta bread

@@sonnybro3915 Yes and his first connection with Katniss is over bread. And the kids are *reaped* for the *Hunger* Games like wheat in a field, to essentially bring the whole of Panem (which means bread in Latin) together, until the girl on fire burns it. Nice food symbolism especially for a book about poverty.

Nothing great about CinemaSins though. They’re clickbait

No everything great about cinema wins

That would a short video.

Haasher Please, he can't make a 2 hour 32 minute video. He can make a 1 second long video. (Respective)

Haasher YES. BATMAN BEGINS WAS LIKE 2 or 3 MONTHS AGO. Wtf

Ceedubs Entertainment patience it will come. The wait just makes it all the more rewording when it does.

I think he already posted videos on those but I can't be sure :/

Well...

Priorities

Trip, I mean rip glimmer

I like how you don't criticize him for the points you don't agree with, and for that I say thank you

Bryan Ortiz I know still waiting on a video game version of this channel.

There's a GamingSins channel that does both in two separate vids.

he's saving it for when Homecoming releases. I think he said in on of his videos where he pulled out the pole.

he pulled out the pole in one of his videos?

Alex Love yeah there was a poll in his iron man vid

Brock Allan Agreed

Honesty *Ding*

Thats actually a very good idea you should be a film maker and make you idea a reality

I think that would be a good spin off film

Greg Greggorson that would be an amazing idea for a spin off tv show, maybe each season could be a different years game.

Ivan Rodriguez PLEASE DO HOLES

Please oh please do holes

Ivan Rodriguez planning on seeing it I've only read the book and it's amazing

Haven't seen the movie but I adored the book!

wait... you mean Gaping Holes Vol. 9? I love that one!

The Prince of Egypt is a masterpiece!

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Mockingjay part 1 sucked but part 2 was amazing. Makes me wish they kept it as 1 movie.

@@montyrobertson7362 Mockingjay was 2 parts for marketing reasons, which was irritating since it was based on an existing trilogy of books. I think the books had a good amount of filler already (like an entire chapter of Katniss trying on dresses in book 1) because they were a "planned" trilogy, then the movie makers padded the already-padded third book to squeeze it into two movies. Which is why the first movie wasn't great. The second movie was most of the plot from the book Mockingjay. Please review the whole series @CinemaWins! Despite the shameless marketing, there are good things about all of them.

Yes please.

gof harry!!! "HARRY! DID YOU PUT YER NAM IN DEH GOBLET OF FHIRE?!"

Yes, hurry up with that one!

gof harry!!! yeah

I'm waiting to see the win counter when Tennant looks at Snape's screwdr... *cough cough* wand.

Gabriel Haskins Yeah, he did the first one so he better do the second

Yesss that’d be so great! Can’t imagine how much the win counter will go up when Toothless goes Alpha form and defeats the Bewilderbeast.

Oh gods yes 🐲🐉

PLEASE DEAR GOD YES.

Anyone know what song that is?

For me Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Cest has hate that it doesn't deserve.

What? But everyone loves Pirates of the Caribbean!

As someone who loves all four movies, YES! Please do! We need to make people realize that they aren't that horrible!

James Moyner I personally like that one too. I don't think anything comes close to beating the first one, and the fourth was a bit of an unnecessary money grab. However, I still like it as it's own movie in its own right

My favorite moments characters and moments include: The Spainard to me he is a type of Boba Fett not on screen much, but you enjoy when he is there. For instance when the English soldier is holding the British flag he says "This Land is forever claimed in the glorious name of King George--" he is shot by the Spainard who says "...Someone make a note of that man's bravery." -Philip and Syrena the mermaid their romance felt natural and I liked how they came together. Like when he escaped from the battle at the fountain to the area where the pools are he tries to put water on his wound. Syrena comes out of the water and says "You are hurt." Philip "In body only. My mind is at peace. Because of you." Syrena "Me?" "Yes I was lost. The wind, the tides...they were to renew a man's faith. For me only you." After she tells Philip that she could save him from dying he says "I seek but one thing." "What is that? "Forgiveness. If not for me, you'd never been captured." "Ask." "Forgive me." To which see kisses him which allows him to breathe underwater and they both go away." Lastly one of my favorite moments before the battle was when Jack stepped in between both Barbossa's force and Blackbeard's and says "Whoah, whoah, hang on a minute! I just...I just need to understand something. Right, so. You will fight against them, they will fight against you all on account of him wanting to kill him wanting to kill him? Where is the sense? Exactly. I say let them fight each other! While we lay back, watch, have a drink, place some wagers! Eh?!" What I take from that is a satire of big climax fights in films involving two sides or more and how everyone on both sides will end up fighting each other. That is funny dialogue!
