CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers as tribute in place of her little sister Primrose (Willow Shields).
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on the best-selling young-adult novel by author Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games tells the dark tale of a 16-year-old girl named Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who is selected to compete in a vicious televised tournament in which 24 teenagers from a post-apocalyptic society fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses. In the future, North America is no more. In its place has risen Panem, a divided nation split into 12 districts. Every year, each district selects a teen of each gender (called "Tributes") to test their worth in a competition known as the Hunger Games, which are broadcast across the nation as entertainment, and to reinforce the government's total power. When her younger sister is selected as District 12's latest "Tribute," Katniss volunteers to take her place, and trains under hard-drinking former Hunger Games champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) to sharpen her killer instincts. Now in order to survive the game and emerge the victor, this young combatant must put all of her skills to the ultimate test. Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth co-star.

I love how Katniss' voice trembles 0:56, like she wants to cry but she knows that she have to stay strong for Prim. There's acting right there!!

[@ElMaestroGordo]

JLaw shows the clever subtleties of performing right here. Also, little Willow who plays Prim adds brilliantly to the scene in the quiet stillness. Katniss would probably like nothing more than to cry at how unfair it is and the injustice, to be afraid for her sister, but her desperation to save Prim is overwhelmed by the strength she has to show for the Capitol. She mustn't let them refuse her volunteering!

[@luci539]

100% agree

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

+El Maestro I like how this scene is taken almost word for word from the book. "I volunteer!" I gasp. "I volunteer as tribute!" . . Prim is screaming hysterically behind me. "No, Katniss! No! You can't go!" "Prim, let go," I say harshly, because this is upsetting me and I don't want to cry. When they televise the reaping, everyone will make note of my tears, and I'll be marked as an easy target. A weakling. I will give no one that satisfaction."

I love the absence of music throughout most of the scene. It adds a sense of realism and numbness that hits the viewers subconsciously. Then, only after Peeta begins making his way to the stage does an ominous and solemn soundtrack play faintly in the background. Not enough to ruin the overall silence, but just enough to begin moving past numbness and towards acceptance.

[@TheMetallicaMonster]

Yep. I use this scene to point out the leagues between Elisabeth Moss' acting ability and Jennifer Lawrence's. Everyone thinks Moss is a great actress when the music is doing the heavy lifting, when Lawrence can actually convey raw emotion.

@@kartunland It's always depends on the type of scene are we looking. Those movie might not have the same impact as this Hunger Games.

0:40 I love how the soldiers are initially hostile against this random girl interfering with the reaping ceremony, but then once they realize whats actually happening they let Katniss have the moment with Prim, and even let the other guy take Prim away. You can even see one soldier's face just in shock. The emotions man.

[@cherylannemason]

Katniss mentions in the book that there's always a certain extra sadness when a 12-year-old is reaped, and most folks would've known that Prim was the least likely kid in the district to ever hurt anyone.

[@yourstrulykaai]

I think it kinda brings back their humanity in a way. An innocent 12 year old who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

[@tenunknown4572]

Also, many of the 12th precinct guards were "friendly" or at least acquainted with the people they ruled, frequent customers of the black market and especially Katniss, who was one of the best poachers Plus, Katniss describes Prim as cute and easy to love, also known as her sister.

Such always killing Squrriels right in the eye. Peeta's father would buy them from her. She also a got a goat, Lady who was able to be sold to a butcher. But the meat wasn't going to be of use...and gave her to Prim as a birthday present. This helped them get goat milk and cheese. Also Prim will sell it at the Hob.

[@markusnashorn1145]

NEVER forget that because of choosing and reading the female first, Peeta was picked. Effie was clearly influenced after Katniss volunteering. So you could never say it would have been Peeta and Prim instead. That would only work if his name was picked before Prim's name was read. It could have been Peeta's brother or even Gale. (Also do 18 year olds like Gale or Peeta's brothers do a little joy dance when they are not picked? Even if a 12 year old gets picked instead?)

[@mitzy5675]

Maja Reinecke She prefers Prim. Katniss was rude towards her and basically despised her for “leaving” when her dad died (she had depression - and still does in the book - but depression isn’t widely known as a thing in the districts). Katniss has to supply everything for her family and hated her mother for forcing her and Prim to fend for themselves. Her mother much prefers Prim, and is probably more relieved that Prim has been saved. She’s upset for Katniss, but not as upset as she would’ve been for Prim.

In the books. Katniss had put her name for food. Rations. Basically the more you put in the more your name has a chance to be picked as a tribute. She also did so, Prim didn't have to put her name in besides the 'one'. Very little chance of her ever getting picked to get sent into the games. As she would do what she can to protect her sister. Gale did the same with his own younger siblings....being from a large family. And of course....Prim's name ends up called....and Katniss basically heart shattered. The odds of her name getting picked....and she had so with the name Katniss on it.

The part the still haunts me is that prim only had one paper with her name inside the reaping ball while many kids (Katniss included) had several because they could trade food supply in exchange for adding their name to the ball more than once. Katniss had her name put in the ball 20 times because of this, and she made sure prim would never have to do it and she still got picked in her first year.

If Effie had picked any name but Prim’s, Katniss and Gale would have probably gotten together, Prim would still be alive, Peeta would have died horribly, the districts would still be slaves, and 23 more kids would have died in the 75th Quarter Quell + every year after. If Effie had picked any name but Peeta’s, there would be no revolution, Katniss would have either died or become the lone victor, Gale wouldn’t be on the fast track to the friendzone, Prim would still be alive, the 75th Quarter Quell wouldn’t have been past victors so Annie & Johanna wouldn’t have gotten tortured and Finnick would still be alive… The moment Prim’s name was called, so many fates were sealed, including hers.

Technically they had the rule that both tributes from the same district can win, they revoked that at the end of the games so only one of they was alive but then when they were gonna kill each other they reinstituted it

[@Accel_Lex]

Shia Labeouf ✔ To my knowledge, they made the rule that both tributes can win towards the end, when Katniss was treating Peta’s wounds in the cave or whatever. But when they both became champions, they had no way of knowing that rule would get established. I’m assuming that because in Peta’s interview, he said he can’t be together with his crush even if he wins, because she got picked to be a champion as well. If the rule was established even at that point, the interviewer would have likely said something like “Let’s hope you both make it.” But instead said that it was definitely tragic. The rule was made for them, but then got revoked as you said, but they were going to kill themselves so it got reestablished so there wouldn’t be a game with no victor. I haven’t watched/read it in years tho so my memory may be off.

In the books it pointedly makes clear that what Katniss did in volunteering for Prim was a extraordinary first as even older siblings wouldn't volunteer for younger siblings. This why what Katniss did for Prim was so widely noticed and respected by the people of Panem. They wouldn't do it because they would be sacrificing themselves and the family would still lose a member. They didn't and wouldn't have the sense of responsibility for their sibling that Katniss had to take on for Prim after their fathers death. As bad as losing a sibling would be for them, it wouldn't be as crushing to them as it would have been for Katniss to lose the only person she loved in Prim.
