My Mom Watches The Hunger Games!! Movie Reaction [RE-UPLOAD] 

They emphasise this so much more in the books but Rues death really awakened things that had been suppressed in people. They were so brainwashed to see death of children as normal, Katniss’s heartbrokenness and respect for the dead woke them up from that.

Haymitch won his games by luring an opponent to the edge force field, and used the force field to ricochet (Reflect) the weapon back against his opponent, used the Force Field as a weapon. President Snow retaliated by killing his Family and Girl Friend, and ever since as a Mentor, his tributes have all died. Hence turning to Alcohol, and his comment about them facing 'Imminent' death. He has had to endure the pain.

15:35 It had nothing to do with nerves. If anything, in the book, Katniss was eager to finally get the chance to use a bow. The reason she missed the first shot, was that she was only used to her own, homemade bows, and this new, highly modern bow handled very differently than her own.

you got to feel bad for Cato. They manipulated him into volunteering saying it would bring pride to his district and in reality they are just pawns in their game. At the end of the day, they are all just kids trying to survive. In the books, he was mauled by the dogs for hours until Katniss took pity on him and killed him.

Thrush is from Rue’s district. They were not brother and sister just someone from home and she was so young. Thrush and district 11 appreciated that Katniss putting Rue to rest so sweetly that in the book, district 11 took donations and sent her a thank you gift in the arena of bread I think. Katniss was deeply touched bc she knew they were as poor as her district and they needed every cent but they sent it to her anyways. Also Mom was right about district 12 being in the Appalachia Mountains. Tennessee and up into the Carolina’s. Rue’s district 11 is where I’m living in Atlanta. It was the largest district yet most oppressed. They were crop people and they would be whipped if they were to eat anything even though most of them were starving.

Prim is 12 years old, what is the age minimum for being a tribute, and Rue has the same age. It's not showing in the movie but in the book, Katniss become deaf of one ear after the explosion of the food. There's two theories about " Foxface's " death. 1) she saw Peeta taking the berries and thought they were good and steal it 2) she knew they were poisonous (we can see during the training that she knew a lot about plants) and ate them for commit suicide because she knew she had no chances to survive against someone like Cato or Katniss

Not sure if anybody has mentioned this but part of why haymitch is so jaded/damaged is because I’m his games, the second quarter quell, there was actually double the number of tributes, so 48 rather than 24, and he actually made an alliance with another girl from 12 (Katniss’s moms friend) who he watches die

One thing they talk about in the book, about one of the reasons why Haymitch had trouble helping tributes. D12 is the poorest district. So the kids had to put their names in to get grain and oil to be able to feed their families. So, most of the kids reaped were kids from the Seam, which is the poorest of the poor. Therefore, they were small, they were weak, they were starving. So no sponsors would "waste" their money to champion them. This is why he says "And know in your heart, there's nothing I can do to save you." However, when he sees that Katniss and Peeta have strength. They have muscle mass. They have drive and courage. And Katniss has arrogance, he starts thinking that maybe, just maybe, one of them stands a chance. Maybe, just maybe, for ONCE, he can bring one back. So that's when he starts taking his work as a mentor seriously.

I love the fact that your mom knows so many actor and actress, reminds me of my self when I found out, like "oh, it's him? He's in this movie too?" 😁

Funny that Ma said it looks like rural Appalachia, that's exactly where it is set, per the books. Nice one, Ma! Also Ma: "Oh, F*ck you!" at the end hahahahaha

That mockingjay pin... its the part no one ever remarks on. The mockingjay warns everyone in the forest of danger, but in doing so, exposes itself each time it calls.

*Emotional/romantic scene plays of peeta and katniss* Editor: *EVERYBODY WANNA STEAL MY GIRL* That had me laughing 😂

Re: Haymitch imagine having gone through the hunger games and being the one surviving child to come out of it having to literally kill to survive then spend the rest of your life having to train more children to do the same knowing they will probably not make it out anyway 💔 drowning yourself in alcohol is understandable imo

In the books those dog thingys had the eyes and hairs resembling the fallen tributes. And as much as I remember the 1st dog Katniss kill resembles Rue so she's kinda terrified

The books were not written as a "YA dystopian series" they were commissioned by Scholastic Books to teach about war and politics of war. There is another series for younger students called the Underland Chronicles.

The Career’s motto: strike first, strike hard, no mercy

What did your mom and Donald Sutherland talk about?! He's great in this. Fun fact: his agents give him scripts just to read (not necessarily to be in) because he likes to read. He read this one and liked it so much he started campaigning the director to be Snow. Very lucky that happened. Though the Snow in the books is described as having a lot of plastic surgery and being fake looking (like a lot of the other Capitol residents), I rather like the "evil Santa Claus" version they came up with for the film. The actor who plays Seneca Crane is Wes Bently, best known for "American Beauty". This was Jack Quaid's first movie ever.

“What the hell is that” when she saw Effie lmao

She's not actually dating Gale. They're just bffs at this point. 🤣

the most endearing role donald sutherland has done in my opinion is mr. bennet in the 2005 "pride and prejudice". it's definitely a stark contrast from his role in these movies, and really help showcase his range as an actor. but glad you guys enjoyed this movie and now i'm gonna go check out your reactions to the other movies. cheers from southern ontario!!

Notice how there's still a lot of black in the clothes that the Capitol people is wearing. The fashion designers responsible for this said that, although they wear extravagant clothes with bright colors, their souls are still dark, considering they like to watch kids killing each other. I think this is an amazing concept! Also, the costume department in this is CRAZY! For each of those crowds that appear in the movie they had to compose more than 300 looks, including clothes, wigs, makeup and accessories.

The relationship you and your mom have is precious beyond words!

They are not allowed to hunt in District 12, that’s why she has to hide her bow and arrow. What she does hunt she sells some of to the district’ black market.

effie is from the capital. she is assigned to district 12.

It wasn't till I started studying Greek mythology that I realized this is also a reference to the Labyrinth, which the author fully acknowledges.

The district doesn't provide game to the Capital, their industry is coal. Katniss and Gale hunt illegally and trade in the "black market". People are starving in outlying districts so the black market helps them survive without having to trade putting their name in more for the Hunger Games draw to get more food rations. Katniss was the first volunteer from District 12 but Districts 1 and 2 often have volunteers. I believe they're military districts, or at least one is.

I believe Effie Trinket played by Elizabeth Banks, does not live in district 12. She's works for the capital, they don't say where she lives but I think she's pretty much on the train. That's why she speaks highly of the capital, she has to. Great reaction love the series.

Rewatching this because 🤫 y’all are definitely my favorite reaction channel! Just wish I’d seen more of the films/shows y’all react to so that I could actually watch more of your reactions😂 Anyway love the channel, keep it up Nick & Momma Jen!♥️😂

“Get that bitch!” 😂🤣 meanwhile knife girl is maybe 16 😂🤣😂 that was hilarious I don’t care lol

great reaction! idk if u knew this already but in the books peeta ends up loosing his leg after these games from catos sword and has a prosthetic for the remainder of the series idk why they left that out of the movies

38:41 I’m like. Super late, and im sure someone said already, buttt. In the books, during this scene when they’re getting away from the mutts, peeta actually gets one of his feet, and i think up up to the knee, eaten off by them. He gets a prosthetic when the games end. I think maybe that’s why they did the super short clip of the mutts trying to get his feet. This also kinda shows how boss he actually was, because he went through the quarter quell with only one good foot. This is also the MAIN reason maggs had to sacrifice herself when peeta was falling behind. It wasn’t as simple as the movies made it!! I’m loving the reactions!! Can’t wait to watch catching fire next❤️

Only ever heard about this, first time watch for me too! Crazy good! Very intense. And I loved Jen’s story about Donald Sutherland, that was such a cherry on top! VERY VERY EXCITED TO SEE THE NEXT ONE WITH Y’ALL!!!!!

In the book, District 11 sends Katniss a loaf of bread in appreciation for her treatment of Rue. Never before had one district sent a gift to another district’s tribute.

i truly enjoyed this reaction video. i can't wait to see the next one

First time watching your channel. Love your mom, she’s too funny, you guys make a great movie watching my team.

Love this series! Great reaction!

Rest In Peace, Donald Sutherland ❤

Trech is not Rue brother just from the same district

“Kick him in the balls”- I died laughing 🤣

Gale and Katniss are NOT together at any point in the movies or books. They are besties but Gale wants more.

I just realized Hughie from The Boys killed Rue.

Ms. Flix, you spoke to Donald Southerland on the phone? Hi, hello, I have so many questions. Brilliant man, would love to hear more!

I cried when the baby died

While I enjoy the movies I prefer the books & I highly recommend people read them especially if they enjoy the films as there's a lot more detailes about the world & characters that was left out, 'watered down' or changed entirely (like how/why Katniss gets the Mockingjay pin) in the movies Vs the books. I can understand that this is partly due to time/cost/technology constraints (as the first movie came out in the mid 200's & it didn't have the biggest budget) but I think it was also because the director didn't want to miss out on sales by making the story R-rated & wanted to focus more on the obvious action instead of showing the full extent of the characters truma (which I get is hard to show in films when a lot of it is internal but still). This means whole backstories for important characters never get shown (eg. what happend in Haymitch's games), some really interesting characters never even get introduced & some scenes just couldn't convey the true horror they were meant to (eg. the dogs near the end of this movie look like they share the dead tributes DNA, in the book, & Katniss + Peeta have to listen to Cato being mauled at for a whole night before she's able to finally mercy shoot him). The other reason though is because of how they portray Peeta (especially in the 1st movie). Now no hate to Josh Hutchinson (even if he, along with J-Law, wasn't really the correct age for the role) but book Peeta comes across much more useful/competent then they they show him to be in the movies. I think it's due to a mix of him being much kinder & emotionally intelligent than a lot of other male love intrests at the time the movies were coming out & Katniss not being as "traditionally girly" as some young female leads so I think the movie makers unfortunately viwed Peeta as the "weaker" part of the duo & kind of overdid Katniss's "GirlBoss" vibes to the point that she barley seems intrested in Peeta in many of the scenes when she really isn't like that in the books (just emotionally stunted/introverted/confused due to truma). Thankfully this dose get better in the other movies but none of them still do these characters complete justice, in my opinion, & definitely don't convey the true depths of the relationship the two share in the books. An example of this is the flashback with the bread - in the book Peeta & Katniss are supposed to be 11, it was shortly after her dad died & her mum was bassically catatonic so her & Prim where left to almost starve to death in secret after the "compensation" grain from the Capitol ran out because Katniss didn't want her & Prim to be put in the local children's home (the kids there were always covered in bruises) but she wasn't old enough for her name to be put in the reaping bowl yet so there wasn't any way for her to get extra food from the Capitol, she was too scared to enter the woods without her dad which meant she couldn't hunt & she wasn't friends with Gale yet, this went on till one rainy night Katniss got so desperate she tried looking for food in the bins outside the bakery but Peeta's mum stopped her & Katniss ended up under a tree just waiting to die & that's when she heard the baker's wife yelling at someone for burning some bread, telling them to feed it to the pigs as no one worth selling it to would buy it now then Peeta came out & waited till his mum wasn't paying attention before he quickly threw some bread to her, which actually managed to help her & her family keep going (the loves were thick with seads & nuts inside, meaning they were expensive, not just the run of mill stuff with little nutrients) until she finally got the courage to start entering the woods again but Katniss says that when she saw Peeta again at school he's eye was swollen from he's mum beating him for burning the bread & she wanted to thank him for helping her but never did because they're both awkward/traumatised kids that run in different social circles (Katniss comes from the "lower" class Seam part of town whereas Peeta's from the slightly "higher" class Merchant part of town) so during thier 'your more likely to win than I am' talk in the Capitol Katniss is really suprised when she starts blurting out how good at wrestling he was at school as she hadn't realised until then how much she'd actually been paying attention to him all these years & when Peeta goes on he's rant about how he's mother views Katniss as a survivor & she stops him by pointing out 'only because someone helped me'.

Hunger Games is great, the books are amazing.

When are you posting the next one? I'm already excited

Hi Movie Reaction Family, this was such a sad situation and series of movies. I never read the books.

Rue doesn't have a dad she lived with her mom and siblings

hi, i just stumbled upon this channel. you and your mom have such a cute relationship

🔥🔥🔥

❤

So when do we get to see y’all react to Catching Fire??!!! :)

15:35 "Nerves are getting to her" Wrong. She's only ever used her own bow and each bow is different. Just like each car breaks a little differently. The amazing part is that she only needed one shot on a new bow to adjust and be perfect on her second shot. The sight is probably off a bit. She's got nerves of steel in this scene.

Josh hutcherson is my bae

Just an 8 month later Heads Up: No need to hold your mom's hand and walk her through it while watching movies you've seen. No one held ours when we watched for the first time.

- revisit- Re the mockingjay pin.....aside from the scene where Gale scares off the deer, this is the main thing that ticked me off about the movie.....it wasn't supposed to be a bit of yellow colored metal (whatever that was, I'm guaranteeing it wasn't real gold like in the books....and then not only do they leave out the somewhat important backstory, Katniss tries to pass it off as like a talisman to "protect" Prim?? That just....never made any sense whatsoever, and makes the whole thing kind of pointless..... KATNISS: Here, I got you this cheap looking brass bird pin thingie, and as long as you have it, nothing bad will happen to you. EFFIE: Primrose Everdeen! KATNISS: ..................shit.
