The Hunger Games (2012) GROUP MOVIE REACTION 

this needs at least 800 likes for us to do the 2nd one. so like the movie!!!!

"So...once you're 19, you're good. You're safe." Until you have children.

The bowl of berries at the end with the Game Maker is President Snow implying (but basically forcing him) to eat the berries and kill himself. This is a consequence of allowing a situation where either Katniss and Peeta kill themselves allowing a spark of anger over their love story and possibly cause a rebellion or allow them to both win but with the weakness of going back again on what was stated in the games.

"I'm hungry... and I like games."

Peeta scored in Career range, was extremely strong/powerful, excelled in hand to hand combat, was handy with a knife and a wiz with coaxing a fire. He also had no issue with the attention Katniss was receiving. Peeta kept Katniss alive she would have died in the initial bloodbath had he not shook his head at her because she was ready to run in for the bow. Literally if Katniss was the spark Peeta was the fuel source that allowed for fire to catch.

13:50 Katinss and Prim’s dad (a coal minor) died in a mining explosion I believe. That’s why their mom is so quiet and depressed looking. Katniss step up to a be Prim’s guardian since their mom wasn’t as present.

I hope you guys rewatch the opening credits. It explained everything about the games. Right after you guys started asking all the questions that were just answered. Edit: the berries are poisonous. They forced the game maker to kill himself for allowing Katniss to defy the capital. the Mockingjay is a symbol of the revolution. that's why Cinna snuck it to her.

1:19:39 always thought this was kinda sad . Cato since a kid was bred to just kill and he knows that’s all he’s seen for… also notice Peeta tapping on catos hand to tell her where to shoot

This cast was stacked -Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Wes Bentley, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz

31:00 The moment when you suddenly stop to think that this is 74th Hunger Game... 😶 And think that there's been 23 deaths in every game... 1 679 people in total for a TV show, before this game started... Made my skin to crawl when I stopped to think about after doing the math.

Lemme give yall the background on the bread. Peeta’s family ran a bakery n only gave burnt bread to the pigs. After Katniss’s fathers death in a mine explosion along with Gales dad and many others Katniss’s mom became so depressed that she had no strength to look after her daughters which almost caused them all to starve to death. He saw katniss and burnt the bread intentionally which his mom beat him for, but that piece of bread single handedly saved her n her sister n mom from starving to death. After that, Katniss stepped up her role in the family as the provider by hunting in the woods which her dad showed her when she was young, along with what fruits/veggies are safe to consume. However, it’s against the law to go outside the electric fence to hunt or escape, those who get caught become avoxes (the servers with the face covers, their tongue gets cut n they serve the capitol from there on out)

Guys you are awesome! I suffer from some degree of depression and I traverse through varying stages and types of Bi-Polar disorder, so life can be hard for me every now again. You know what? You guys are one of the few channels that reminds me that there is something to tune into every morning. I am very grateful for your support and your time here on RU-vid. It's a blast.

Katniss and Gale aren't dating 😂 they're childhood friends, though I can see why you'd think that. In fact in the books Katniss thought she had a crush on Gale but he lil sis'd her and told her he couldn't see her that way, it wasn't until the games when he saw her and Peeta getting close that he started to get jealous 😂😂. He's 2 yrs older then her or a 1 n 1/2, Katniss is 16 when she's reaped into the games and Gale is 18, it was his last year to participate in the reaping before he goes to work in the mines. Peeta was being honest when he said he's loved Katniss tor years, and watched her walking home. Katniss also knew him from school, and after her father died, ( he was the one to teach Katniss how to hunt and swim, among other things,) her mother completely retreated into herself and they all almost starved to d3ath, Peeta throwing her the bread he burnt saved her and her families lives, she started hunting after that. She cares for Peeta and Gale but doesn't love either one of them... yet anyway. Haymitch won his games on a quarter quell, which is a special game every 25 yrs where they change it up, his year the change was that they doubled the tributes so he had to survive 48 other kids, 4 from each district. And the 3 finger salute is like a tribute/paying respect, they do it in 12 at funerals but when they do it for katniss it's like a sign of solidarity as well as showing respect. Oh and the reason Katniss missed with the bow the first time was because she was used to using a handmade wooden bow her father had used for years before her, the one she used in the capitol was made of metal and plastic, probably hadn't been used very often if at all, so the feel of it would have been off affecting her aim, honestly it's incredibly impressive she was even able to hit a bullseye the second time, she adapted extremely fast. Edit: if you do decide to check out the other movies, the explosion on the cornucopia blew out Katniss's ear drum so she loses hearing in one ear, also the wound to Peetas leg wasn't healed, they just killed the infection. He has his leg amputated before going home, the reason I bring this up when the movie doesn't is because they portray their characters off the books still in the next movies so his character doesn't make as much sense without that context of he's now disabled with a prosthetic leg.

I watch reactions to see if people get how vital Peeta was to Katniss’s survival because the problem with these movies is in order to sell the love triangle they upgraded Gale and downplayed Peeta. Peeta was done dirty by the movies. If Katniss was the spark he was the air/fuel that allowed the spark to catch fire. Peeta had rooted in her heart with that act of kindness at age 11 and Katniss who had kept track of him and watched him did catch feelings during the games. His reaping did upset her and added to the misfortune of that day. The story is mostly told in her head and Katniss is an unreliable narrator who is trying to convince the reader she is not a good person and that she isn’t in love with Peeta. The star crossed lover’s angle was not the creation of the 16 year old boy. It was the adult advisors who observed the connection and energy between Peeta and Katniss. Cinna told them to hold hands in the chariot, made sure their were recognizable and dressed them in coordinated outfits and Haymitch advised them to stick together at all times and be amiable together. When Peeta asked to be coached alone I believe this is when Peeta was brought into the strategy and advised on how to bring it home in his interview. She would not have gone along willing with the strategy so she was not told about the strategy. And if she was willing to go along with the strategy she would not have been able to sell it as it is accepted through the books that she is a bad actress and can not lie. When you go into the next film please keep in mind Peeta is an amputee who lost his leg to the mutts at the end of the first game . A sampling of Katniss thoughts on Peeta in the Hunger Games. **To this day, I can never shake the connection between this boy, Peeta Mellark, and the bread that gave me hope, and the dandelion that reminded me that I was not doomed. ***This is the first kiss where I actually feel stirring inside my chest. Warm and curious. This is the first kiss that makes me want another. ***And while I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don't want him to die. And it's not about the sponsors. And it's not about what will happen when we get home. And it's not just that I don't want to be alone. It's him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread.’ ***And then he gives me a smile that just seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me. ***One more time? For the audience?" he says. His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go. ***In stark contrast to two nights ago, when I felt Peeta was a million miles away, I'm struck by his immediacy now. As we settle in, he pulls my head down to use his arm as a pillow; the other rests protectively over me even when he goes to sleep. No one has held me like this in such a long time. Since my father died and I stopped trusting my mother, no one else's arms have made me feel this safe.

Hahaha you guys spend so much time trying to guess what actors are in other shows and movies you've never seen before and being wrong pretty much EVERY TIME. 😂I cannot believe ya'll add it to your videos. It's insanely entertaining and annoying at the same time. I'm impressed. Love you guys. Hahaha

When the score came up, I dont think that was jealousy or something on Peeta's face, I think that was concern. He knows what Katniss did and usually the capitol is pretty condemning of things like rebellious or defiant acts. To me, Peeta looks worried. Like they gave her a high score to punish her and put a target on her back.

17:20 “Calm down, this is supposed to be rush hour!!”🤣

Susann Collins was on to something. Something like this could happen.

The only reason she missed is because the bow is made different than what she’s used to. But the second time she aced it. And third time of course 😊

I wish I could do all 800 likes because you’re gunna wanna see the next movie. The acting is phenomenal and the story line is everything

Gale and Katniss aren’t a couple. It’s quite possible he didn’t realize his feelings for her until after she left for the games but he never expressed himself. So during the games Katniss has nothing to lose with leaning into the lovers act. Whether something sparked or not

Please check out Lenny Kravitz, the actor musician playing Cinna. You may have seen his daughter as Catwoman in "The Batman". Her mother is actress Lisa Bonet (bow-nay) who played on Denise on The Cosby Show and A Different World. She used to be married to Jason Mamoa.

Fun fact: Wes Bentley, Seneca, is also Jamie Dutton from Yellowstone

I actually watched your whole reaction and was super impressed please please please by all means continue this series the next one is my favorite and I’ll just leave this comment by saying team mother fckin peeta! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼☝🏼

They are allowed to bring one "district token", like a good luck charm. Cinna gives Katniss back her pin as the token after the people in charge decided it couldn't really be used as a weapon (the pointy part, I guess?). In the books it says the girl from District 1 tried to bring a ring that had a hidden knife.

32:14 that’s jack quaid from THE BOYS and I wish you’d guys would watch it Lmao

I highly recommend the second movie. In my opinion it is the best of the franchise. Katniss missed the first time because it was an unfamiliar bow. She had to get a feel for it first. She was used to a homemade bow where she had to compensate for flaws. This was probably precision made so would have a different feel.

So excited for you to watch these! I rewatched them recently (it's a lot sadder than i remember lol). They're amazing movies! Me and my friends went to each premiere at the theaters! You guys are gonna love them!

You've got to circle back around and watch the second one. It's even better.

And yes, he's from The Boys...you guys should watch that too!

the constant confusion of everyone ever watching the hunger games of wtf the mutts are 😭😭 bulldog to tiger

Woody Harrelson was in White Men Can't Jump. The original in 1992.

Woody Harrelson was first in Cheers, a long running sit com. In addition to Zombieland, he is also excellent in Season 1 of True Detective. He was Larty Flint in The People vs. Larry Flint. He has a lot more but that is what my memory holds. .

The only rule of the Hunger Games: survival

We gon need y’all to react to the rest of the movies they get way better

LOL that's not just aloe to soothe the burn it's got some futuristic heal the burns up in a nap kinda shit!

In the book the smoke from the gamemakers fire had put the tracker jackets to sleep so they were not fully awake when she started cutting the branch.

One of my favorite series

My distant uncle is the gamemaker in this movie. I didn't know that for so long since I barely see him and only recently watched this movie!

You should watch Maze Runner trilogy as well!!

She missed because it Was a new-to-her bow and she didn’t have a feel for it yet

Ayyyeee hit 800 likes 👍🏽

Prim has grown so much

I've said this in the past, but it's always true: Donald Sutherland makes a really good villain as President Snow. It's kind of the same paradox with Imelda Staunton/Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter: a delightful actor playing such a vile, despicable character.

my favorite youtubers reacting to my favorite film!

that intro super class talking about games with the lionsgate logo in the back reminded me of the saw franchise theres arleady 10 of em 11th coming soon maybe you both like it to watch and react to. anyway great videos love these funny reactions! you guys make the day good!

lol you know Woody Harelson but you don’t know Lenny Kravtiz .. guys come on 😅 But I loved your reaction very very much!! ❤

Watch all of the hunger game series please it’s my favourite movie series ever😭❤️🔥🍿

Peeta’s mother was abusive we learn in Catching Fire that Peeta recognizes the sound of leather on flesh. When Katniss and Peeta were 11 and she and her family were on the brink of death by starvation Peeta’s mother chased Katniss from the trash bins where she was looking for food. Peeta saw and purposefully burned two loaves full of nuts and berries knowing he would have to take a beating from his mother. After getting hit he was instructed to feed them to the pigs when his mother went back into the bakery he threw them to Katniss instead. The next day when she wanted to thank him she noticed the welt on his face and looked away and saw the first dandelion of the spring remembered it’s edible qualities and knew how she would feed her family. He inspired her hunting and foraging.

Me and my family binged the entire franchise (except the prequel cause it was too expensive to rent on Amazon) when it was cold in Texas and I enjoyed every one of them, the cast is great from Jennifer Lawrence to Josh Hutcherson, the action, and the heart. Im very excited for yall to watch this fun franchise!

1:12:11 so it seems like district 11 really evaluates community with their people.

that was a fat jar of ROSIN

No the berries were real. The gamemaker was made to kill himself by eating them

7:45 well they play once the people who survive.

can’t wait for catching fire! it’s so good!!!!

Can’t wait for second movie

No matter what district, all the kids should be trained in something in preparation. I’d be teaching my kid all kinds of survival skills and combat.

Yeah these movie adaptations are pretty good,the story is surprisingly good

Gotta Finnish the series!!!

Katniss and Peeta! Cutest couple

You guys should watch Divergent!!

A lot of blood.

The berries are poisonous berries

Why does everyone think the wire is a slinky 😂

Instantly remembered to hit the like button at "doesnt that mean shes under the age of 19?" Lmaooo 🤣

Peeta is fine

Watch White Men Can't Jump, the old one, from 1992. Not that new one.

Liam Hemsworth is so cute

yessss, lets go!

Katniss and Gale aren’t together.

I hope you’ll do the other movies

District Twelve Is always Targeted Because There Seen as The weakest district plus the poorest

🎉

Pleas watch the rest🎉🎉

Jennifer Lawrence is the PERFECT woman. Beautiful and funny af

1:11:43 No she's actually 30 pretending to be a child lol

React to Terminator

You guys changed you channel name? I miss when you were 3 Katanas 😢

Watch Vikings!!!!!!!!!!!

She’s 14 in the book, but they decided to cast a young woman for the character…I like jlaw, but i admit I was upset with the casting for Katniss and Gale. Both looked too grown and all 3 (gale, Katniss, and Peeta) looked too well fed. Y’all rather missed quite a bit by not paying attention: Rue’s district and male tribute were shown during training camp, the berries were real, y’all just saw them kill the “Fox face” girl…the bowl of berries was telling the game maker to end his own life.

The winner of the Hunger Games pretty much get rewarded with a comfortable life and money, but they are still paraded around by the Capitol. In essence, no one really wins the Games except for the Capitol.

Rue 😢😢😢😢😢

Can you do a Saw reaction?

you should start watching bojack horseman!!

Come on like like like yallllllll

I normally don’t like Jennifer Lawrence, but she nailed it in this movie. It’s probably the only movie that I like her in.

12:04 tbh gale should’ve just volunteered 😭 then he would’ve be all mad

Peeta wasn't pretending to get sponsors he really was in love with Katniss. But she wasn't ubtill the second film it was that she learned how much she needed him and his love

Shitty high budget rip off of Running man. Crap series.
