Hunger Games: 30 MORE Things You Wouldn’t Know If You Didn’t Read the Books Part 2

[@matteoairaghi790]

Something movie fans will never understand is the emotional impact of the character's young age in the books, in the movies (especially the last two), they were pretty much all adults

[@grahamdamberger7130]

It would have been one thing if they had adults in their 30's and 40's fighting to the death as most of them would have had more experience in fighting, medicine, and weapons over their offspring. But instead the Capitol elected to send adolescents and teenagers into the arenas, meaning that while one set of parents would be happy that their child made it out alive (said child may also be dealing with PTSD and other trauma from being in the arena, which will have a long-term impact on their life moving forward), 23 others would be heartbroken that theirs did not. And this went on for 75 years until most of the Districts finally had enough and planned a rebellion, with the bombing of District 12 being the last straw. The deaths of Snow and Coin resulted in the Hunger Games coming to an end, and peace to Panem for the time being.

[@Heejinbunny]

Yes exactly katniss was described as being 16 and looking young for her age (about 14-15). If they had a young actor it would really heighten the emotional impact on such a young child, forced to fend for her family from 9 years old then surviving the trauma of 2 hunger games, the rebellion and coins distrustfulness

[@grahamdamberger7130]

@@Heejinbunny The girl who played Clove (District 2 girl), originally auditioned for the role of Katniss, but was only 15 at the time of the auditions, and was deemed "too young" for the role. I can only imagine how the movies would have gone if she (or someone a year or two older than her) was Katniss instead of Jennifer Lawrence.

[@springgg4055]

@@Heejinbunnyright? Rue and Prim’s death were two of the saddest. If you ignore the fact that it was partly due to us being in Katniss’s perspective, the reason both deaths are horrifying is because both were so young. 12 and 13/14 respectively. If all the tributes looked as young as they were in the books, each death would have seemed more cruel than ever. While I love the actors’ performances in the movies, many were adults acting teens.

[@aliahduiker7998]

Totally true. As someone who’s only watched movies it’s definitely hard to remind myself most of them are supposed to be younger than me.

[@hockeystar7913]

Something that I would also like to mention, is cloves death. In the movie, the careers are heartless killers, bad people. You don’t empathise with them. But rather in the book, you can see through the reaction of Cato to cloves death they are still people. The movies dehumanise the careers, as cold blooded killers and not as kids who want to impress their district, kids who have developed relationships with each other. Catos attempts to save clove and begging her not to leave him, reminding the audience the cruelty of the games.

[@MovieFlame]

[@greenbeantm1096]

I will say that I wonder how Cato would have reacted to Cloves death if it wasn’t for the rule change. Other than Katniss and Peeta they were the only 2 who could take advantage of the change.

[@ClairesUniverse]

I think a huge thing the films missed was how much Katniss did not care about romance. Her entire life she had to take care of herself and Prim and she always thought that out of necessity (not love) she would end up with Gale. Though after the games, he no longer understood her. Peeta was the only one who did. I believe she genuinely liked Peeta a lot, but I truly believe she only loved him because he was the only other person who truly understood her. As she and Haymitch discussed a lot, their romance was part of their survival. She used that angle so much that after Peeta was rescued from the Capitol he had to have her clarify her feelings for him because he was so confused. He meant a lot to her. But not because she was madly in love with him. But because he saved her and her family. They were basically just partners in crime and their relationship would always be tied to the games. I think it makes their story so unique. From the moment they agreed to lose the games together, they were a unit.

[@mickeyc2137]

Well their connection really started when he saved their family from starvation by throwing her the loaves of bread

[@claireconolly8355]

Not sure of the word is "care" about love. She was literally in survival mode. I think more that that part of her brain was completely shut off. A psychologist can explain better than me 🙈

[@deborah8056]

I disagree Katniss grew to genuinely love him by the ending of the last book when he first got kidnapped by the capitol is when she realized this and then even more after she returned to district 12. She started to slowly heal and stopped being in survival mode. She become madly in love with him because if you read the books ending she finally agreed to having kids with him even though for the longest time she didn’t want to have kids because of the trauma she faced and fear the hunger games will return. Also they had a game of confirmation of things are real or not real and when Peeta asked is her love for him real she confirmed it was real. she always thought she needed someone like gale who was hard and strong but she really needed somebody like Peeta in her life who was kind and patient in order for her to heal and fall in love.

[@thetelevisionnerd]

Finnick being literally sexually abused in the Capitol after he won his games at 14 YEARS OLD was so disturbing to me when I read the books, and I understand it wasn't a vital part to include in the movies to move the plot forward but it was very important to Finnick's character

[@monaeckle]

It was included in the movies though. Remember, Finnick's speech in Mockingjay Part 1?

[@thetelevisionnerd]

@@monaeckle in the speech he says that the Capitol "paid him" with secrets so he knows all of their depravities and the fact that Snow drinks poison to anesthetize himself so he can use it on his enemies, he never explains what happened to him tho

[@monaeckle]

@@thetelevisionnerd No, rewatch the scene. Finnick does say that the Capitol used to sell him or his body at least as a reward, that he wasn't the only victor this happened to and that if you refused Snow would kill someone you loved.

[@eilishcorkery2364]

@@monaeckle Snow used Haymitch as an example of what your consequences will be if you defied Snow because Snow got Haymitch's mother, younger brother and girlfriend killed two weeks after winning the second quarter quell and Haymitch is actually the only Victor to be reaped in two quarter quells

[@Fraukie_H]

I never read the books. But when Katniss couldn't do the "distraction video" and Finnick took her place, I remember him making it very obvious that the Capitol, or especially Snow has a habit of sending a victor that is "attractive" into some sort of prostitution only that the "customers" only payed Finnick because they felt guilty, while the real price to "borrow" such an attractive tribute was paid in favors and stuff for Snow. I also caught me wondering if that could be the reason why Johanna was so bold and when she caught Katnis' worried look she said "They can't hurt me, there is no one left that I love." (or something like that). Because how Johanna was portrait in the movies I can only imagine that Snow might have tried to sell her into prostitution also and she refused so he had to let her go, knowing that her slaughtering the people who "bought" time with her wouldn't really work out. But since I read that Haymitch's loved ones were executed for him using the force field as a weapon.. I do wonder if after refusing to be Snow's "Trophy prostitute" Johanna might also have come home, just to find out that her family was executed because of her resisting this "tradition" without knowing what would be the cost.

[@likecascade7015]

Another thing movie viewers don’t know is that District 4 was a career district also. Something that pisses me off because they’re not that in the films.

[@Matt-id5mi]

Theyre not always Careers though, they can be but as a district they are pretty rebellious- in Catching Fire they stopped producing seafood for the capitol which is what Katniss notices as the citizens at the party are complaining about it. 1 and 2 get special treatment and volunteer to be in the games- Finnick was 14 so I doubt he volunteered, same with Annie especially seeing how the games affected her so badly. They might team with the Careers but they arent careers in the sense that 1 and 2 are

[@wolfsedo1576]

I think that it his of huge importance for finnick and Annie, that they were originally careers. Of course it's opinion, but I think it makes the whole point of Annie going insane way deeper. If u think that she trained for the games her whole live probably and shows how blind they were, since altough they watch the brutality on screen it's still to far away to really catch the heavines. For Finnick I think it's important to know because many people probably think he was a surprising winner against all the odds. Yes, Finnick didn't team up with the rest of the careers, but like Katniss said, in the end he was a career like the others. Altough he was just fourteen he had probably already trained for years and maybe volunteered early because he was just "arrogant". Finnick winning wasn't just the outsider poor child winning that nobody could see coming, but it was a career being trained to kill and highly supported by the capitol sponsors (trident for example) This is now a small point, since Finnick didnt went with the career pack in his games as far as i remember but: Also it helps more in form of surprising&exciting (maybe) the readers in the book, when Finnick as a career joins Katniss instead of the career pack

[@littlelove13]

Yes!!! Everyone always thinks ‘careers? that’s only 1 and 2’ but it’s explicitly stated so many times that 4 is also very much a career. And it’s also really important. Especially for Finnick who is the embodiment of kids being forced into this. The fact that being a career tribute, Finnick likely volunteered for his games despite being young, is frankly heartbreaking because it shows the humanisation of the career tributes because they’re not killers, they’re kids. He’d been taught to volunteer so young, to impress people, possibly seeing himself as a nobody if he didn’t and just wanting people to look at him, which is similar to Clove’s backstory that her actor created.

[@willback8513]

Yes!!! It would've made so much more sense to the audience why Katniss distrusted Finnick in the quarter quell. It also would've been more impactful to the audience when Finnick talks about being sex trafficked by the Capitol, because it shows how the "Capitol favorites" were really treated.

[@l.tc.5032]

My headcanon is that they were the last to become careers mainly because their district didn't have as glamorous an industry as 1&2 and kinda earned their way in after several victories that the Capitol and 1&2 couldn't ignore. It also may be less important to them than the other career districts, still an honor but not as much as it would be in 1&2.

[@okita_souji_alter]

When it comes to the bombs i was more disappointed in learning Beetee's involvement than Gale's cause his corruption was obvious in the movie and Prim's death sealed the deal for me

[@mickeyc2137]

Agreed

[@CrabtasticCrabs]

Yes! But same and I think in the books it was obvious as well ever since he planned bombing in the nut despite his father dying in a similar way

[@LOTLore]

Literally just watched The Hunger Games for the 15627th time (because I wanted to), and then came on KZbin to go to bed, and found a BRAND NEW MovieFlame video about the franchise. It must be my birthday or something.

[@annaw7384]

these books are so layered and so depressing but so amazing. Katniss goes through so much, starving, risking her life to poach game, volunteering and going through the Games TWICE, suffering Snow, watching Lavinia and Darius be tortured and forced to serve her, Cinna beaten in front of her, spending all of Mockingjay wondering if Effie had died, seeing her Prep Team tortured, not to mention being literally forced to murder every single person she kills. she never kills someone without knowing she absolutely HAD to. it's honestly a wonder that she ended up "okay" after everything. but i guess SC makes a point to add that her nightmares, Peeta's "episodes" never stopped. man, these were just kids.

[@Hiiii-v2o]

Peeta was taken captive and tortured and saw Lavinia and Darius tortured

[@RealWorldGames]

In the books she kills a kid when she is sneaking into the capitol even though she isn't sure if the kid will even have a chance to betray them

[@RealWorldGames]

Also in the end she continues the horror of the hunger games just changing the victims to the capitol children. Peeta votes against this, because he didn't lose his humanity.

[@Addi-tp3ky]

Yeah, I think that it's interesting that there is so much detail that I wouldn't know if I hadn't read the books.

[@fanofstuff1607]

7:04 Katniss’ family gets the victor’s reward money, as they use it to live off of, and try to give it to Thresh’s and Rue’s families. It’s why her mom can stop asking for payment when treating people after the mines close and w/ the new peacekeeper.

[@ellewilliams958]

Yep! And how Katniss was able to give food to others in the district and buy supplies for her mom like fabric for bandages.

[@fireflyfox93]

The bomb that killed Prim was so hard to read, that upset me so bad when reading it for the first time. I hate that they cut that out of the movies because it was so important to how Katniss and Gale's relationship died.

[@mik1of3]

They didn’t… they show the bomb going off behind Prim as she made eye contact with Katniss.

[@ShawnDraven]

They got money to. Katnis says she felt awkward going to the hub with a purse full of money and tries to spread it out to as many people as possible. They also got access to phones in their home which doesn't sound like much of a reward but it allowed katnis to keep in contact with cina

[@bookworm7076]

The filmmakers obviously had to leave out some of the darkest aspects of the books in order to keep the PG-13 rating. If the movies were rated R, the number of teenagers watching the movies in theatres would've been smaller. It's very important for adults AND teens to understand that the Hunger Games is a warning about where our society could be headed if we don't heal our wounded world.

[@TheEclecticGoat]

It’s super bizarre though, since this was a YA book in its original form.

[@drown_n]

@@TheEclecticGoatnot bizarre at all. You can get away with so much more if you just put it into words. ~Seeing~ some of the fucked up things you get in the book is just gonna be different so they have to rate it appropriately

[@TheEclecticGoat]

@@drown_n Disagree. Lovecraft could have told you: there is no greater horror than what you visualize in your mind. The minute the visual becomes external, it becomes less.

Another thing I see people asking about is why Plutarch would spin the clock in CF and risk Katniss’s death but the careers were running away and Katniss had an easy kill shot for one or both, making Katniss and Peeta decide to break off because they didnt know the plan and potentially kill the others and ruin the plan so he had to cause a diversion which is why he stopped as soon as Katniss fell in the water

[@WeAre044]

He did that so that the rest of the tributes couldn’t figure it out

[@Matt-id5mi]

@@WeAre044 that makes no sense. It wouldnt have mattered. There were 3 other tributes besides the main group. Katniss and Peeta were already thinking about leaving the group, killing a career or even both wouldve made them leave the main group. Its kind of heavily implied thats the reason plutarch spun the cornucopia.

[@helRAEzzzer]

The first book says Panem was America. There's a brief bit of dialog describing Katnis's history teacher and classes. It mentions district 12 being in Appalachia and how Panem used to be called The United States of America.

[@spangelicious837]

And the Capitol is mentioned as being in Colorado/the Rockies.

[@tarynzarebah]

[@joshuahecht6866]

@@wickdaline8668 That will be told to the people. The people deserve the truth and freedom to find their own path. Plutarch will help out.

[@Fraukie_H]

Does anyone know how much that was changed from books to movie? In this video he says that Plutarch basically advocated for Katniss not being punished because of her severe PTSD and getting her to 12 kind of like "sweeping her killing Coin under the rug." That would mostly be necessary if in the public mind Coin's death would be the "bad deed of a confused young woman) In the movie (I think Haymitch reading Plutarch's letter to Katniss was a great way to deal with Plutarch's actors untimely death) Plutarch's letter promises Katniss that she just needs to lay low for now and will be pardoned when the time comes. That would call for making Coin's grasp for power public. It is a great difference if Katniss is found "not guilty for killing Panem's savior and new leader, because of her own PTSD. Or if she is pardoned because it is made public that Coin basically betrayed everyone and committed a war crime when she send those bombs not just in a crowd of children and civilians, but also send their own people in to be killed by the delayed, second explosion. How is that handled in the book?

From the beginning of the books I was never much of a Gale fan. Something always felt off to me about him. I was team Katniss and Peeta from the jump. But yea, MockingJay proved that Gale wasn't quite the great guy they tried to make him be. Not that he was a complete monster........and of course he didn't know that Prim would end up being one of the medics or else if he knew that I don't think he would have gone through with the bombing though it maybe wouldn't have been in his hands to stop it after it was already planned though he could have stopped Prim from being a medic if he knew she was going to be one. But yea, his vengence for the Capitol def got the best of him bringing out a bit of his dark side. It would happen that way for many people so I can't be completely a hater but I was glad Katniss ended up with Peeta. I also feel even if he hadnt been involved with creating that bomb plot, Katniss still should have ended up with Peeta cause she went through two games with him. An experience that Gale could never ever understand and relate to and Peeta would always understand the trauma from it so it made their bond unbreakable

[@panikosatlas6758]

They got money in the books too? Did i misinterpret the fact cause they got rewarded with money and a house in 12

[@esavvysavokiii1277]

some things movie fans wouldn't know that I'd include in a video: 1. Katniss was really small and scrawny for her age. Because Jennifer Lawrence was already like 20 when she was cast, physically fit, and taller than Josh Hutcherson, this didn't get across that well. But in the books the Careers are described as having a lot on her physically, whereas in the movie that's not really the case, and it really made a difference in the fight scene with Clove because Isabelle Fuhrman was only 15 at the time and she's *actually* tiny. 2. We didn't learn Marvel's name until Catching Fire where Katniss learned it on the Victory Tour, and it was really impactful because she was learning that this boy that she personally murdered had both a name and a family. The entire time he was referred to as the boy from District One. But in the movie, he's referred to as Marvel from the beginning. 3. The boy from District 10 in the 74th Games was disabled, described as having a "crippled leg", but despite that, he actually made it pretty far. 4. Katniss was considering Foxface as a potential ally. 5. Foxface laughing while standing in the rubble of the Careers' supplies after Katniss blew them up. Honestly, that would have been such a good moment to include for her, because in the movie we see her as being more stealthy yet timid, rather than being sly. 6. Katniss almost died of dehydration in the first days of the 74th Games. In the movie, they cut out several days and had the Careers teamed up with Peeta and chasing her up a tree happen on that first night, but she actually spent a couple days trying to find water to no avail first. The forest fire led her to fresh water, and if I remember correctly, she realized it was likely on purpose once she reached the water? 7. Haymitch was from the Seam, or at least looked like it. They cast Woody Harrelson in the role and he was great, but he was described as having olive skin and dark hair like Seam people. 8. District 12 itself had a class hierarchy. Movie watchers assume that all of 12 is just dirt poor, but there's a distinct class hierarchy even within the district, where the mayor's family lives comfortably, and there's a merchant class (like Peeta's family, and Mrs. Everdeen's family before she married Mr. Everdeen), and then the Seam is the lower class, with families like the Everdeens and the Hawthornes. This is a big part of why Katniss doesn't really trust Peeta at first either because she thinks he probably views her as beneath him. 9. In Catching Fire, Cecelia from District 8 had three kids who all clung to her and cried when their mother was reaped again, and it was really sad. 10. The fight scene with Clove in the book was BRUTAL. In the movie it was a lot more subdued and even had this weird sexual tension to it that wasn't there at all in the book. Clove even punched Katniss' windpipe, Katniss spat blood all over her face, and stuff like that. It kinda ruined it for me because they played into the aspect of showmanship for the audience that the books were explicitly condemning. 11. Piggybacking off of that, Thresh smashed Clove's head in with a rock rather than slamming her into the Cornucopia, so it was way bloodier. Also, he overheard Clove taunting her about Rue, but he didn't know what Katniss had done like in the movies. Katniss was stammering as she explained it to him, and that's when he let her go. He didn't just magically know like in the movies. 12. There was a large field that was considered Thresh's territory in the Games, and the Careers had their camp set up by a lake, not by the Cornucopia. 13. Cato was being mauled alive for HOURS by the mutts before Katniss mercy-killed him, and she was afraid that Peeta wouldn't make it that long since he was so badly injured and they were both freezing to death. Katniss described it as being for nearly 12 hours I think, but this could have been an exaggeration.

At 19:27 i would like to say if you got the paperback version of the first Hunger Games book on the back it says that Panem was north america. Not being rude but i want to make sure no one is misinformed

[@hawkstaroftunnelclan]

She did say the dress was her mother's in the movie

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Yeah as someone who saw the movies first I actually kinda liked Gale. Then when I read the books….Gale disgusted me. Throughout the series he just went from meh to I pretty much hated him.

[@joseluismontes2946]

can you please do every difference beetwen the hunger games book and movie

[@louisacoote2337]

Beetee and Gale are working on the bomb idea in the film at one point, I think. It might not be mentioned in that scene, but is talked about afterwards, or at least alluded to/implied at some point.

[@lucygarrett9785]

I’d say the main thing left out of the prequel I was upset about was the covey

[@zarennaangel1198]

I didn't read it. I listened to audiobook versions. I loved it.

[@absynthefaerie]

“Formerly North America” that includes the entire continent not just America/USA.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I just finished reading the series. I have seen the movies before but it’s been a while so reading the books was almost like having contact with the story for the first time. I really don’t remember much about the movies 😂

[@racheljackson4428]

That garden arena in the hunger games would be right up with Poison Ivy from batman.

[@Rick_King]

Anybody who hasn't bothered to read the books has missed out on so much. I love the films, they are fantastic! But the books are twice as good!

[@lawreb91]

I remember being so confused that Effie was in the final movies as much as she was.

[@DailyGrinderII-gd6tb]

Books are just better.

[@rilynnkelley8138]

You left out that in the end of the 1st hunger games book, katniss and peeta actually put the nightlock berries in their mouths and had to go to a nearby lake (also not shown in the movie) to wash their mouths out so they wouldnt die

[@GeneralKenobi543]

Hi movie flame, I love your vids , and I was wondering if you could make some more Percy Jackson / Heroes Of Olympus content?

[@dylanconstanza8927]

You should make another fan theory video. This time about what would happen if the rebels had lost. What would happen to Katniss, peeta, etc. And what will be the future of panem and the districts. Along with the possible theory of how the hunger games change.

[@billyraycyree3785]

I love watching your videos.

[@TheRayvolution]

I wish this next book were about District 13 betrayal and the rise of Alma Coin. That would have been so good.

[@geonunes10]

On the whole tigress having to sell herself. It gave me the impression she did it in the ten years between the war and the story of the book. But considering she was a teenager for most of the time, it's still messed up

[@rayahnsingleton3215]

Actually Darius became an AVOX and when they went into the 75th hunger games training center he was there in their suite.

[@mubzytv]

I’m pretty sure in the first Hunger Games book, the video they watched during the reaping, they mentioned how Panem used to be North America

[@MollySM-pc4fy]

Idk if movie fans know this or not but Katniss found out about district 13 when two people heading there pointed out that the same video was used and could be spotted by a bird always being in the same place

[@dylanclarke78]

I think the movies did explain the bomb that Gale and Beetee created, it just took place in district 2 instead of 13 and was really short

[@m0th3r0fdr4g0nZ]

Lucy Gray DOES say her dress was her mom's in the film tho...

[@ellewilliams958]

Several times. She even said it being her moms dress was the only thing keeping her together, like her mom was hugging her

[@Kerriangel]

What about Johanna's family and loved ones being executed by Snow when she refused to be prostituted to the Capitol after her Games? Haymitch remarked how he was held up as an example to '"The Finnicks, Cashmeres and Johannas" about what happened when the Capitol was defied. Johanna refused to let Snow sell her body, so everyone she loved was killed.

[@BenjaminKV17]

Hey movieflame do you have any plans to make the life of asoka or someting like that?? Sorry for bad enlish it is not my first laguage

[@taramcgettrick8464]

Something that is left out of the movies is that Lyme is a victor

[@VampDollz13]

I didn't know about the new book. How exciting.

[@saminshinu]

Im pretty sure in the movies it said that lucy got the dress from her mother😅😅
