First....Great Video 👍

The first book in the series felt to me like it would make a great studio ghibli movie

This video is highly underappreciated. Loved your video!

As usual a great video 😊

I love your videos, you put so much work into them, I just cant get enough of them! Your voice is the most calming voice ever and I love hearing your opinion on the Hunger Games, I am a huge fan of the movies and I will be returning for more.

this is such a beautifully created video. wow!

I love those books. This saga is captiveting

Actually laughed out loud when you called Tamlin, Tampon. I wondeeeer why you would ever call him that😂

i would love to see your thoughts on each book!! the foreshadowing killed me

Loved the video, would love to see you review the tog series by SJM as well, if you ever happen to read it

Too much cursing.

What alot of people don't talk about when talking about the capitol is that even the citizens of the capitol are also prisoners of sorts, Effie for example has so much anxiety around how shes perceived, how that impacts her career and future and by extend those of her families. The citizens of the capitol are taught to express themselves in very clearly definable ways, approved ways, partly to distract them (if they're too busy being anxious about their own position in life then they're less likely to see the harm their lifestyle is doing against the districts) and partly to instill a sense of inherent superiority so they can sleep at night and not look too closely at how they get their luxuries (by making the citizens compliant in the abuse of the districts they make their control appear rooted in rightousness and not in shared shame or guilt). Effie clings to those forms of self expression all through her arch as that's hers, that's a freedom offered to her that she cherrishes and won't relinquish even when her life is in danger and she's moved to a place where her freedom of expression is openly discouraged. Her arch is a direct reflect to those of us in modern westernised societies who are being "woke" to social issues and our roles and responsibilities there in. But back to my original point, the citizens of the capitol. They've got so much anxiety around looking and behaving a certain way for fear of being ostracised, loosing their socially trained-to-covert positions and the fear of being forced into a peace keeper role, an unwanted career with a 20yr sentence, no self expression or general daily luxuries and freedoms they've been trained to see as normal and ideal, or worse, they could be turned into an Avox. We talk about how bad the capitol people were but the reality is more nuanced than that, the upper classes were the true villains, the ones with the power and knowledge to influence changes (but even then how much of that can be blamed on educational indoctrination as unlike in the districts, education was enforced in the capitol including capitol funded uniforms and food for students). The majority of the citizens of the capital only have the benefits of the capital if they comply with the capitols strict expectations or else they risk being made into literal voiceless slaves, which to a capitol citizen- who's never experienced abject poverty - probably looks like a fate worse than that which the districts face everyday.

I think Effie is a far less redeemed character in the books than in the movies. The movies played down Katniss's feelings towards her prep team. Thus, for the final movies, it's Effie and not the prep team who appeared (and were actually tortured) in District 13. And it's in District 13 that Effie has her best movie moments. Meanwhile, in Mockingjay, the novel, Effie only appears at the very end, just before Katniss assassinated Coin. Moreover, she seemed, to Katniss, almost like someone in shock, and has no memorable dialogue. So, does Effie ever really reform? Or does she, and the rest of the Capitol citizenry, just adapt to the changed reality?....

Effie was indeed a representative for the common Capitol citizen who ultimately loses their blinders to the cruelty going on around them. At first she is the epitome of the disconnect the average Capitol citizen has due to the overindulgence , privilege and propaganda given to them by the leaders of Panem. It's only when she gets closer to Katniss and Peeta while they proudly become her victors and then are unfairly forced to go into the games yet a second time that her blinders of the real cruelty of the games and the Capitol began to come off. Her blinders are totally tossed aside when she is taken to district 13 and sees up close the cold hard truth of what the districts face because of the Capitol's cruelty which even further changes her and her opinion. This is where she proves she is very loyal to Katniss as part of her team and keeps helping her as the Mockingjay thus ultimately supporting the rebellion. Effie is still always somewhat the prissy Effie we first met but she is now aware and connected to the horrors going on around her.

Underated asf

Effie kind of reminds me of Hailey Beiber. People hated her two years ago. Now, people are seeing her kind soul and finally realizing that she isn't a bad person.

I'm glad you dedicated a chunk of this video to Effie! Such a brilliant character. Nice vid! Subscribed. Also, may I ask what your book set for the trilogy is? I have the luxury edition book set already which is beautiful so I won't get it, but i've never seen that edition and i'm curious!

Wow... I'd been meaning to watch this video for a while. Pretty much since it came out! and I'm so happy to have finally watched it, it is incredible! The writing, the videography, the review, the message. This book is going STRAIGHT into my tbr list! And the message of the video? Exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you for putting this wonderful video out!

this was a really compelling video :)

Such an amazing video! Cinematography is on another level

Love this video!! Cinematography and pacing is lovely :D

Great Editing 😊

So this is where it all started!! So cool to see the origin story of such a talented actor!

Wow!!! The camera work, the writing. What a gem of a review!! I started reading Klara and the Sun two years ago and stopped after 10 pages. I can’t remember why I stopped - it wasn’t because I didn’t like the writing or felt bored. Quite the opposite. I just put it down and didn’t think of it again ‘till this very moment. Perhaps this is a sign I should finish reading it! I love Kazuo Ishiguro’s writing!

Awesome video😄
