[@rama2.0]

I think incompetent is the one word I wouldn’t use to describe her given her rather impressive resume. You’re entitled to feel how you wish however.

[@Septic-Hearts]

For the record, one thing I think the film's could never capture the visceral writing in books that made me question how in the hell they were published for Scholastic. It makes me wonder what an R-Rated Hunger Games would look like, they might be able to capture the real devastation and desperation of people starving and sick, which to me emphasised just how cruel and deliberate the whole system is, and makes the real-life counterparts that much more sickening. One thing that has stuck with me for years was how Katniss described the significance of the landmines in the book, instead of just saying you'd be blown sky high she explains that a District 8 girl who dropped her bracelet literally had to be scraped off the ground. Then there was that cannibal kid, the people who died of starvation or injuries from the mine in her kitchen, the people who went completely insane, the addictions, the trafficking and prostitution for food or for safety in the winning Victors' cases, a whole tonne of stuff, really. Realising that all of those things happened in the real world as a result of political conflict is what radicalised me.

[@abbiejo6822]

for as little screen time as Katniss' mom gets, the actress does a great job at portraying her

[@rama2.0]

wasn't she incredible? As cheesy as it may sound, you can feel the grief emanating from her almost. She's trying so hard to hold it together for Prim mostly but it's not working much (in the first movie at least).

[@Grievous-nx3iu]

Same with Prims actress. Especially in the first movie her screams and sobs sound so genuine they make me emotional. The cut to Prims screams from Ceaser and Senecas interview is chilling

[@MistarZtv]

One of the things that I appreciated about the series more as I've gotten older, was how our protagonist Katniss, wasn't such a chosen one savior character who's character choices is the sole reason the dismantling of the dystopian world and that she's just another cog in the machine (a very important one indeed) but a machine that would've start regardless just because of the very nature of people of the contradictions the people in power put in place to hold on to their power, there was a lot going on in the background decades before the events of the story by various people with various factions with their own (and a lot of the time selfish) reasons for fighting the fight. And showed just how much suffering and dehumanizing , the cycle of fear and violence can be. without falling into the centralists "every side bad" pitfall that a ton of dystonia YAs and political dramas typically fall into. Its a very scary reflection of our society and the real world suffering that we see (or unwilfully to see) around us. Its especially more true after all the events we're seeing now and the release of BoSAS and how people took all the wrong message from it.

[@rama2.0]

Yes absolutely. The way I see the series is that anyone with enough courage from the districts could’ve been Katniss. She has never wanted that position to begin with. It truly is scary how fitting Panem is to the current state of the world. Not saying it’s the same but there are definitely a lot of call backs and it’s very unfortunate. As you said, The Ballad also does an amazing job at showing just how much fear can control (young) minds and push them away from compassion as is the case with Snow

[@OpossumOnTheMoon]

I’ve always hated that the movies made her the first volunteer. In the books people from Twelve have volunteered before, so even that didn’t make her special. She was just a run of the mill tribute who just so happened to be overwhelmingly compassionate, to the point that it inspired a nation.

[@alhomsiyyah]

@@OpossumOnTheMoon While you're right that District 12 has had volunteers, Katniss says in the book that it has been "decades" since anyone has volunteered. And this also means that for decades, kids were being reaped while their siblings likely stood by and wouldn't dare to take their place. That's not necessarily blameworthy considering their circumstances, but it does add some level of commendable character to Katniss.

[@OpossumOnTheMoon]

@ I agree, but I think there’s a difference between being the first person to do something in decades and being the first to do something EVER. While the action is rightfully commendable in both circumstances Katsniss being the first ever volunteer just ruins that aspect of the story for me. She’s a average person but an above average sister. She’s the common man who happens to do the right action at the right time. I think it kinda waters her down a bit in ways I can’t fully articulate tbh

[@alhomsiyyah]

@@OpossumOnTheMoon I understand your POV. I still think it speaks volumes about who she is, not in a way that makes her extraordinary or superhuman in her affections. It is likely that when the Games first began, the population in the lower districts held onto some kind of hope that a volunteer might have a better chance at beating the odds than, say, an unlucky 12 year old. That hope likely dissipated with time which is why volunteering seems a waste of life by year 74, even for the caring older siblings out there. It's that bleakness that has drawn on for so long which acts as the backdrop of Katniss' actions, which make those around her perceive her as unique.

[@starboy_ken]

Katniss is so humble she might not be the best person but she’s so humane every time I watch her with rue I cry because you could tell she truly saw her sister in her and seeing her die truly made her become the mockingjay she was so young so kinda and didn’t even get a chance to grow up

[@rama2.0]

Yeah and I think she also somewhat saw herself in Rue as well because they were both the eldest daughters taking care of their younger siblings. She deserved so much more and just like you I always cry when I see/read about Rue

[@Itsintheway23]

3:54 not time stamped perfectly but I 100 percent agree about the Hunger games ability to immerse you into the story and the dynamics without TELLING you the dynamic. You didnt have to read the books to understand whats going on and you dont need a narrator. You get immersed into it, and like you said they brought it to life with parallels to our own society. I also loved the divergence series and i liked the first maze runner. But neither is a good as The Hunger Games.

[@rillagorton6141]

I know some people say that the Capital was too evil and that the Hunger Games would never really happen but they forget about the Coliseum in Rome. It was literally the Hunger Games but much, much worse.

[@alancranford3398]

One subtle theme in Hunger Games was the power of atrocity. The Hunger Games served to unite the Capitol district and get the citizens of the Capitol invested. This also served to get the citizens of District 1 and 2 and the other career districts invested in Panem unity. Most of the investment in atrocities was through sponsorship of one of the tributes, a vicarious degree of participation is atrocities. There is never enough power to force people to give their all--when people do only what they're forced to do, empires fall. "Doing nothing" is the nuclear option of a labor strike. "Doing nothing" undermined East Germany to the point of collapse. Participation in atrocities got Capitol District citizens to willingly and actively support the rulers of Panem. "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" drove this home to me--vicarious participation in the atrocities of war has a long and successful history. In "1984" the Two Minutes Hate was one of many vicarious participation atrocities that Big Brother used to control Oceania. In the Hunger Games, the fact that other districts were killing off YOUR district's children also served to make enemies of those districts, and it felt good when the other districts' tributes fell. Atrocity--just the medicine ordered by the doctor.

[@MoonStone_Empress]

As many times as I've read/watched this series, something has just now occured to me while watching this video. The Careers being allowed to train and their districts being afforded treatment the other districts don't recieve is the Capitol's way of ensuring their loyalty as victors. We learn about their special treatment in the first book, but see it come to fruition in Catching Fire. The rebel victors knew they wouldn't bite the hand that feeds them. It can be argued(albeit without textual evidence) that Katniss posed a threat to their existence in more ways than one and they were aware of that, which is why they went for her so hard the moment the gong sounded.

3:03 crazy how they casually waste food in the capital while people in the other districts were starving

[@Thoughtso573]

I remember when the movie came out and people were upset that Rue was played by Amandla Stenberg since they expected her to be white. I remember being the same age as Rue and realizing the not so subtle implication that the general public felt like Rue being black made her death “not as sad”. Suzanne really hit on so many issues that plague our society and even when showing the horrors of dehumanizing others people still managed to show exactly what aspects of Panem we accept in our society.

[@rama2.0]

This! I saw a creator on here talking about it in an amazing video (the day the internet discovered that Rue was Black I think it was) and I was honestly so sad and confused seeing that. Realizing that your skin colour makes others see you as less worthy of sympathy was so hurtful. I am honestly just super grateful Collins portrayed Rue with so much humanity in her book

Thank you so much for watch! I do agree with this. I did enjoy Divergent as merely an entertaining movie but it definitely does not compete with this franchise in my opinion.

[@CariDMM]

There's one thing I don't hear many people talk about. It's the trauma bond and potential codependency between katniss and peeta. I never really liked peeta as much as other people did. He saved katniss, but his actions also kind of forced her to get closer to him. I would love to believe fondness grew organically for her, but I can't ignore the fact that their relationship is rooted in pain and trauma mixed with isolation. They never had the time that they deserved. By the end, peeta became almost all she had left. Who else will understand her arena and war experiences but him? No one. Gale became too dangerous, and his actions caused the loss of her sister. Katniss lossed and her ability to survive is relateable to me as a veteran surrounded by danger and the desire to have a sense of normal or something to bond with. A lot of the friendships and relationships I saw were rushed and lacked proper foundation because of the constant looming danger. We often dated each other because we could relate to the shared experiences. That environment can be isolating, too. I don't know. I just wanted more for her in the end. That's also shows how realistic this series is. You feel like the story is real, and katniss could be someone you know. Sorry for the rant. It will forever be one of my favorite book series. I loved the films too.

I think everyone needs to watch The Hunger Games ALONG WITH The Handmaid's Tale. While I absolutely love what THG does, both the later movies and later books glamorize "revolution." It's really only the prologue of the last book that explains hard enough what it all meant. I think The Handmaid's Tale better illustrates the day-to-day of an oppressive government, attempting to topple that government, and the retaliation and lingering impacts that ensue.

It's eerie how Collins manages to draw reference to real world history in her fictonal world with such accuracy with how this form of political power works. Let's just hope the lame and lazy "critics" who's deepest thought of this franchise starts and ends at "this is just a Battle Royale rip-off" stays at a minimum. Its the type of people that swear apples and oranges are exactly the same thing because their both fruit.

Thank you so much! I've been so obsessed with this franchise since I was maybe 10-11yo so it feels good to see that ppl still care about it 10 years later:) Collins is simply amazing, her knowledge is what truly sets these books/movies apart from the rest imo. I did get some of these critics when I first uploaded this video on my other channel but so far so good lmaoo. I mean I did watch Battle Royale and it is good but I do prefer THG personally

I went to the same school overseas as Susanne Collins did, just years after her 😂

“The united nations of green flags* I’m watching this during my lunch break and nearly choked from delight so true bestie

[@rama2.0]

Hahahaha isn’t he just so lovely??

[@lunalovegoat]

I loved the video, im so glad youtube recommended it to me. You got a new subscriber 💚 Also, were some of the clips shown deleted scenes?

[@rama2.0]

I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and tysmmm for the support❤️❤️ and yes some of the scenes were deleted clips lmao. This video took forever to edit bc I kept wanting to add stuff to it which I tried to limit with subsequent videos😭😭

[@eliskasykorova2301]

This is a great analysis of THG series. I agree with you, that it is great at depicting the cruelty of war, the dictatorship and the total impact, that it has on people. Well, one thing, on which I disagree with you, is the comparison between THG and TMR, because The Maze Runner tries to depict different aspects of dystopy. It touches the topics of global warming, spread of deseases and trials used for searching for the cure, that are made on children. Therefore, at least as I see it, The Maze Runner can't be compared with The Hunger Games as both are approching different topics.

Don't think she ever had deep love for Peeta. He in the end understand her. He share her dreams and fears and lost.

I believe you mean, the genius of Battle Royale

[@NeedANewName]

Honestly i feel the argument about having children very much. At the ripe age of 27 i do have the urge to build a family. But just looking at the world around us makes me not want to. In one of the "better" countries its still too scary, inhumane and the climate chages are just too real. And all everyone is doing is pointing fingers and telling them to fix it while everyone should try to. And just because others aren't doing shit doesn't mean that we also dont do shit. It just makes everything so frustrating. And the housing crisis, money crisis and so many countries where you cant afford to live just makes me so depressed. But especially the climate one is big for me. We're looking at extreme change as early as 2050 and that's only 25 years away. It's just all fucked 😫

[@burningbirdgirl]

i love this but i wish you had spoken more about the books than the movies, because while they are a good adaption they miss a lot that's so interesting and vital in the story.

[@rama2.0]

Thank you for watching!! I think I preferred focusing on the movies bc the books have an enormous amount of material that I found a little daunting when making this video as it is the first one of this type I created. I did however make one on president Snow and TBOSBAS which has a lot of emphasis on the book if you wish to watch that one it’s on my main channel:))

[@cherishoneal9108]

When the scene of Cesar and a career tribute came up, I rolled my eyes because of the propaganda. No matter how many times I watch, I am still picking up on some things I didn’t see the first time.

[@karishmasinha4686]

At least the world of hunger games had clearer lines between good, evil and grey areas. In the real world we don’t have that luxury and almost everything is starting to look either grey or evil. At least they aren’t pretending to care for their children while also allowing their genocide like we are.

[@emilysimmons3517]

8:25 I’m not sure if you’ve read the books, so spoilers ahead. If you like the movies you’ll love the books. . . . Another reason why Haymitch is the way he is, is because he was punished by Snow for his win in the Quarter Quell. Like all the tributes, Snow punishes the victors despite the lavish lifestyle and celebrity status that comes with it. All of Haymitch’s loved ones were murdered as a result of his exploitation of the arena during his Games. He is completely alone on top of watching all of these children die and he is forced to relive the games every single year.

[@mgmalia]

Hunger Game is the world we actually live in... sadly!

[@911callyamom5]

His grippers 😂😂

[@directioneranne9564]

The best ya novels ever. Thankfully the movies were great too

[@Aerisuto]

1000th sub enjoy

[@rama2.0]

It was so nice to wake up to this! Thank you so much:))

[@sooyoungfanclub]

Please enable auto captions!

[@rama2.0]

I think they are enabled. On my side it says they are. Lmk if you can see them

[@sooyoungfanclub]

@ unfortunately not for me :( perhaps just a youtube hiccup then!!

[@rama2.0]

@sooyoungfanclub I’m so sorry idk how to help bc I enabled them in every version of English available + French:((

[@rama2.0]

@sooyoungfanclub if you want maybe try slowing the video down a bit bc I do speak fast in that one? I’m not sure if that would help😞

[@sooyoungfanclub]

@@rama2.0 thank u so much for your kindness!!! I will definitely do that 💛

[@Luba.Lukasa]

it was so ironic watching the american media turn the hunger games into a love story

[@rama2.0]

I think that started with the editors too (they pushed Collins to include the whole love triangle with Gale which she did not want initially). Even though I love Katniss and Peeta to bits, this is not a love story😭

[@RedLicorice05]

Thank you for deep analysis, it’s scary that our world is kinda getting more and more dangerous and capitalistic than ever before, hope it’ll never turn into hunger games
