I like how this said screw gender stereotypes. Peeta is a tender, understanding person and Katniss is a warrior. They’re both courageous, wonderful people and it doesn’t matter if he’s a boy or she’s a girl
OMG teen dystopian was one of the biggest themes that carried cinema back in 2012 to 2016. Hunger games are one of the best book adaptations, it gets better with each movie. Please react to the maze runner franchise too. Love your channel and reactions.
"He just having fun while those kids are fighting for their lives.... He's the Wendy Williams of this universe" 😂😂 The way I screamed 😂😂 you are hilarious
For the red-head girl, the sneaky smart one who died from poison berries... earlier in the training moments we see her on a large scale computer identifying "symbols" it looks like. What she is actually doing is identifying plants (edible, poison, medicinial, etc,) and she is very good at it, so the theory is that she found nightlock berries and, for whatever reason, decided that she would rather unalive herself than risk going down under the brutality other players like Cato.
After all this time, I don’t know why I thought Foxface mistakenly ate the Nightlock berries!😲🫣 Makes perfect since she would just nope out then suffer at the hands of the Capitol kids…
To be fair, nightlock wasn’t in the training center and is only found in district 12, and it just showed her matching the symbols not necessarily identifying the berries. She saw Peeta collecting them and assumed they were safe because she was “emancipated” as Katniss described her.
Yes! It was also my favorite of the books. But of course I loved all of them. Catching was also the one I was most pleased with as far as book-movie adaptation.
Rue's death makes me cry every time. For the group of kids who ban together, those are usually the kids from District 1 & 2 and they're called "career-ers" (and yes, they wait until they're the last ones alive then go their separate ways once they need to fight each other) Those two districts actually have special academies where certain kids are trained from the time they're little, then when they're 18 they volunteer as tribute. It's an interesting bit of worldbuilding because even though at first glance it seems like a horrific thing for the adults of that district to do, kids from those districts end up winning a majority of the games. So it presents the question- is it more humane to let your kids die year after year with no training to limit your own complicitness in these atrocities or kinder to essentially brainwash a few well-trained children into sacrificing themselves when they have the best chance of potentially winning (at 18 instead of 12 like Rue or Prim) even if that means you're playing along with the Capital's bs?
One thing to add to this is that Districts 1 and 2 are relatively much wealthier than the other districts with industries based around manufacturing luxury goods and weapons, while somewhere like 12 (where the main industry was coal mining) was very very impoverished. So Districts 1 and 2 simply had more money to establish things such as these training academies whereas districts like 12 simply lacked the resources.
@@ActuallyAnanya Very true but another way to look at it would be that the economic prospects of having a lot of victors might then be of even greater importance to the poorer districts (potentially allowing a district's unofficial export to become victors, if they wanted to put in the resources to build an academy)
It's not just a matter of choice but a matter of resources. People in District 1 and 2 are more privileged, so they can better "afford" to train their kids. Meanwhile, people in the other districts are worked all day, so they don't have the time or the resources to train. Katniss wasn't even supposed to know how to use a bow because she no one was allowed outside the gates.
Omg you calling Peeta your “short king” had me cracking up!😂 And yes, I will never not cry for Rue❤ Hope you keep watching the series WEEKLY! Can’t wait to see your reaction to Catching Fire-it’s even crazier!!
In the book they explain that you can trade more entries in the bowl for a little bit of food. So the poorer people (they're *all* poor) are way more likely to get picked for the games because they need the food and they're desperate.
Basically the 3 fingers raised is a symbol of respect from district 12. And every time someone wins the games they become mentors to the next chosen children, Haymitch is the only mentor of the District 12 because he was the only winner up until that point
So one thing about the adults in the districts, they take pity on those who are 12-18 on the day of the Reaping. This is because they were the ones lucky enough to survive the Reapings while watching friends and classmates and brothers/sisters die. They understand the fear they have towards the event. Especially because the last person to win the games before that was Haymitch and that was 24 years prior to this movie. That’s why the old lady was so willing to give the Mockingjay pin
When Katniss offers herself as tribute and when the District 11 start to break everything bc of Rue's death...those are my fav scenes bc they are SO POWERFUL, I can't watch them without crying I can't wait for you to watch the rest (Catching Fire and this one are my favs)❤
exerpt from the book explaining more about the three finger hand gesture: Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don’t expect it because I don’t think of district 12 as a place that cares about me. But a shift has occurred since I stepped up to take Prims Place, and now it seems I have become someone precious. At first one,then another, another then almost every member of the crowd touches the three middle fingers of their left hand to their lips and hold it out to me. It is an old and rarely used gesture of our district, occasionally seen at funerals. It means thanks, it means admiration. It means goodbye to someone you love.
Fun fact (well actually moreso horrifying fact), in the books the mutts at the end were actually made from the DNA of the Fallen tributes, to the point that they wondered if the eyes of the mutts were the real eyes of the tributes. They also had collars with district numbers. They made them more dog like in the movie
Its honestly so nice seeing your reaction to this movie. Your reaction to Rue's death had me in shambles. The second movie catching fire is gonna gag you once you watch it.
CHUUUUU Love you so much you do not know how much this video is blessing me as an original hunger games girl who had all three books in middle school and I just finished the fourth book I cannot wait. 💙💙💙💙💙 You're gonna love it!!
Also Happy Birthmonth I hope you're celebrating yourself all month long 🎉🎉🎉🎉 And yes take care of yourself first and foremost break from horror. In terms of the release I feel like if you're really excited you can do it every 2 weeks and if you feel like you want to have more variety do it every month.
This movie traumatised me 😂. I saw it when I was 4 or 5 and it began my severe phobia of bees and anxiety lol. The whole series gave me so many nightmares 😭
I miss good teen dystopian movies, like why can’t we bring movies like this back? It was such a good time. Also you should definitely react to Maze Runner if you enjoy this series!
CHUUUUU?!?!?! The way i screamed when i saw the thumbnail....... FIRST TIME WATCHING HUNGER GAMES?!!?!?!? i am super excited for you! ALSO, love and obsessed with your channel, especially with react to movie : "MA"
Yessss thank you for reacting to Hunger Games!!! Can’t wait for your reactions to the rest of the franchise 🥰 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but those mutant dog things at the end were so much scarier in the book *spoiler warning for the first book if you want to read it and don’t want to know any details left out of the movie* because they had the eyes of all the dead tributes, and they also spent days slowly eating Cato alive while Katniss and Peeta were stuck on top of the cornucopia listening to him scream... it was so messed up 😅 it’s been a long time since I read it and there’s definitely a lot I forget but I remember being lowkey horrified by that part in particular
I’m obsessed with the hunger gamess 😭😭😭😭 you always come through with the reactions ❤❤❤ I know you don’t react to documentaries but I recommend Paris is burning maybe to watch in your own time if you haven’t already watched it. It’s about ballroom culture in 80s New York I think you’d like it. I hope you enjoy the rest of the movies if you watch them❤️
I rewatched this with my much younger sister and I cried LIKE A BABY even though I knew exactly what was happening. This movie and the 2nd one was my FAVORITE 💗
Chuuzus i first started watching you a few weeks ago. and im never unsubscribing you’re so entertaining to watch😭. my favorite horror movie i recommend for you to watch is “ Dead Silence” it’s so scary but sooooo good.
I'm so weak 😂 Chu rooting for everyone killed me, cause they all had to die. Reactions are always so good with this guy. React to the next one next week!!
I remember reading the books as a teen and I showed my dad the first movie and the way he was squirming during the countdown had me ask him what was up, “they’re doing a countdown…to kids murdering each other” now as an adult it messes with me so much more
Oh I’m so happy that you’re reacting to this! I’m from North Carolina and most of the first film was filmed here. Everyone I knew was so excited over that. And it ended up being a great film which I’m so happy about. Catching Fire is high key the best one. Everyone was ACTING in that one
I have no idea why the movie did it like that 😭 in the book he just covered himself with mud and leaves and focused on the textures so it blends in. I don’t know why they made it so extra for… like peeta was dying when he did it 😭
31:04 😢 34:05 this Fricken had me BAWLING especially when they showed the people in District 11, Rue’s district, put their 3 fingers up in that solute of honor.
YES!!! CHU!!! I am so happy that you're going to be watching THG series! The movies are great, but the books are stunning!! Since you haven't seen this series, you are giving the PERFECT reactions to the movie!

every week every week !!!!! i need to see your reaction to the best superhero franchise sequel in existence catching fire ASAP!!! you have no idea how good this shit is about to get like this is truly peak 2010s cinema. masterpiece franchise
What I love about Hunger Games is how well it aged. I've read a whole lot of YA when I was the target demographic and a lot of it falls flat the older you become and the more you analyze it (doesn't mean it's not a worthy genre though, as well as any other). But the more I think about the Hunger Games the better it becomes, even reading it at almost 30 a second time the prose is brilliant and Ms Collins doesn't pull any punches for her teen audience. I have some critique of the movies, but they are still a well made adaptation
Yesss!! I always wished you’d reacted to this, one of my favorite book series. When I first started watching you I remembered searching for this. But anyway awesome upload to see 😊
