She never had to really bond with the other kids prior. To her, they were just uncivilized kids getting the gift of luxury before inevitably dying. She loves these two because they’re a unit far longer. Not to mention this Quell was just objectively horrible even to the Capitol citizens saying goodbye to their reality stars.

[@rubydubdub2965]

Effie had one of the best character transitions in the entire trilogy. In the first book/movie, she seems so bubbly and superficial, but during this scene she can barely stop herself from crying

[@babybeans434]

Ugh, this is so true! She turns from heartless bubble lady from the capital to an awesome woman who supports the rebellion. That's why I love Effie!

[@mysticedits684]

Not only that, but her character is so underrated, she could've been way more developed as a character, in Mockingjay she was tortured and it was never really delved into (for obvious reasons) but it seems like such a waste, she was basically useless to either side, the Capitol wanted information that she couldn't give, and the rebels obviously didn't trust her, it was just such a waste of a good character!

[@sythlorde]

@mystic edits I wrote a new version of the hunger games in an alternate reality where the 3rd quarter quell was not tampered with. It takes place from the viewpoint of someone in district 1, its a sample, but I do go into the capitol and talk about the people like effie. Please come listen and like!

[@agirlhasn0name]

Effie is, in my view, the most interesting and wonderful character. She was NEVER mere comic relief, never unimportant--and it was a shame that we got so little follow-up on her in Mockingjay. (The movies essentially fixed that, but left out the torture bit, which is pretty danged significant.) I never found any reason to see her as anything but selfless, and my appreciation of her depth goes so, so much further than "She was a silly heartless Capitol goon who suddenly became a good person thanks to almighty Katniss Everdeen." Gah, no.

[@raquelflorence235]

TheSilverCorgi she was never heartless. It was kind of a coping mechanism for her. You know, mentoring two people and then watching them die is kind of a depressing job.

Absolutely! Haymitch promised to Katniss he would volunteer for Peeta if he was chosen, and you could see he didn't want Peeta to go in for him.He doesn't want Peeta and Katniss to de, and I think he would go in because he doesn't really care about life anymore

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

The look on Peeta's face when he tells Haymitch, *"let go"* is dead-serious; he's not joking around, he's not uncertain -- he's fully committed to his course of action, which is protecting, and if at all possible, saving Katniss. Well done, Josh Hutcherson!

[@nigel_ninja]

Peeta is what all men should strive to be like!

[@bekahswanson]

The way I perceived this scene is that Peeta also wanted to protect Haymitch. By Peeta going into the 75th Hunger Games, he gets to protect Katniss and he also prevents Haymitch from having to go through the games. I think Peeta also cared a lot about Haymitch too, not just Katniss

2:02 The significance of Mrs. Everdeen being the one to start the salute and not Prim is huge, Prim is immune, everyone loves Prim, but Mrs. Everdeen has and will always be an option to be targeted by the capitol and knowing that she's lost her husband and her best friend to the Games, and now she has to face the reality that her daughter will also be a tribute for the 2nd time in a row, risks it all to thank her for everything she's done for Prim while she was too depressed to do anything.

[@themisheika]

Prim is not immune though? She's only 13, and if the Hunger Games had persisted, she'd have 5 more chances of being reaped, and it's long suspected that family members of Victors have a disproportionately higher chance of getting reaped as a method of controlling the Victors. Katniss, even if she did survive the Quarter Quell, can't even volunteer as Tribute by that point in place of Prim as she'd be too old to qualify.

Love how Effie is portrayed in this. When first introduced, she appeared very flamboyant and more concerned with her job. This time, her appearance is still a bit flashy, but more modest and the pain she feels when pulling their names out is evident. Love how much she has changed since the beginning

[@jjveliz10]

Definitely. She has gained a sense of humanity and understanding of what it is like to have to go through the games.

[@einsteinboricua]

If you read the book, she always complained about being assigned to District 12 and hoped to move to District 1 or 2. She never really cared for those tributes because she'd only know them for a week before they died. Katniss and Peeta, being winners, showed her that they're more than just "tributes"; they're people, so naturally she grew to know them (also doesn't hurt that she got part of the attention as well). Her relationship with Haymitch also improved: Katniss was the one who "sobered" him up; in the meantime, he was a drunk who also didn't care much for the tributes. But I agree: they did an excellent job of showing how Effie grew from a snob to an actual human being. And even though she should have been imprisoned in Mockingjay, I like that they took liberty and showed her in District 13 without her flamboyant looks.

Katniss's mom went blank on Prim and Katniss after her husband died, and throughout the first movie I kind of saw that in her personality and the way she acted. But in this, she raises her three fingers and she looks so defiant it makes me think that seeing Katniss in the Games and seeing her being Reaped again jolted her out of that and made her realize how angry she is towards the Capitol. Well played, Francis Lawrence. I thought it was a great touch.

[@ihernandez4234]

+Abby Beck Hmm. I sort of just realized that there was something up with the mother (well I noticed this the first time, but it was more apparent after the 2nd watch). I remember feeling a bit teed-off how it seemed the protagonist effectively did the female equivalent of emasculating her mother with regard to telling her to look after her sister. I could have bought that if say her mother had drank too much, or periodically just becomes completely listless, but I still don't think they did such a great job convincing the audience that there was really something wrong with the main character's mother (I remember only one scene really that hinted this and it lasted maybe15 seconds at best).

She was never aware that both Katniss and Peeta had been negotiating with Haymitch to save each other. While Katniss counted on Haymitch to save Peeta, Haymitch knew he could do nothing for Peeta if he was reaped instead, because Peeta wanted to be the one to protect Katniss. Both men were planning to volunteer for each other... In a way, all three were ready to die to save at least one other person, although Haymitch was never in that to-rescue list he was still up for it. Effie's is a sigh of relief, because she was more attached to young, more innocent Peeta than Haymitch at the time. That's why her relief was quickly shifted to grief. Still, the show had to go on.

[@darthslobbius487]

One thing I give the films credit for was making Effie infinitely more likeable and human. In the books, she was a'ight, but the movies made me want to be her BFF.

[@karan.kk.h]

X-peon you can see she is trying not to cry herself

[@chesiregirl]

And when the Peacekeepers are dragging Katniss and Peeta away, you hear her say, "wait, wait," I assume she's saying "wait" because Katniss and Peeta are supposed to be able to say goodbye.

Just that even Effie gets emotional... it just gets me.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

[@ohnobees8033]

The way Katniss just turns when Haymitch's name is announced is just heartbreaking. She knew Peeta would volunteer if Haymitch got reaped, and Haymitch had promised her that he would volunteer if Peeta got reaped.

I absolutely love Peeta's "Let go." It has the perfect combo of strength without being disrepectful. You feel their love and loyalty for each other. Even Effie seemed relieved when she picked Haymitch's name.

Effie's character development in both the books and movies, was amazing. Elizabeth Banks was perfect for this role.

I agree. I think her character was portrayed better in the movies.

Peeta’s coldest scene. His facial expression shows he accepted that he’s in the games already. Ready to protect Haymitch AND Katniss. He’s an amazing character

[@jess_8602]

“I can’t let you do that” “You can’t stop me” Such a powerful scene, man, I got emotional.

[@agirlhasn0name]

It didn't take me until this point to love Effie. From her introduction I recognized her super-smiley, seemingly over-excited, excessively cheery & bubbly & bouncy facade as a forced but necessary act (one that would inevitably start to crack sooner or later.) She's a mere cog in the system, and there's not a thing she can do to stop it. All she can do is try her very best on behalf of her district and its tributes, which she does. I never disliked her. Making assumptions was all too easy; right away in the book, Katniss talks to you about this lady as if she knows her personally and/or can read her mind. But I didn't let the narrator dictate what I thought of other people. The more she hammered me with "You should hate this person," the more I saw that there was no actual reason to. I've never seen Effie's development as a simple "Oh, the oblivious dolt who loved child-murder was suddenly, miraculously changed when these two magically super-special people came along." I always gave her a great deal more credit than that. I saw it more like them unwittingly helping her to start overcoming the fear of her true self--beginning to trust and embrace it more, as opposed to continually repressing and rejecting it in favor of what her culture pressures her to be. Accepting that it's possible for those around her to be the ones who are wrong. That compassion is not weakness. Butterflies are symbols of metamorphosis and transformation. They begin life in one form...they enter a tight, confining, restrictive cocoon inside which they begin to undergo subtle and then dramatic changes...ultimately emerging in a new, freer and more empowered form. This seems fitting. It isn't a matter of her not "having the guts" to stand up to the Capitol (indeed, she's more honest when the risk is only to herself); it's the fact that that would do less than no good. She can't change the way things are, or doesn't believe she can. It could only create a mess of trouble and put others in danger. She feels alone and helpless and, in her home, pretty much is. And this is why she's my favorite. The movies did not change her or "humanize" her; it's there all along if you bother to read between the lines and think, consider the subtext.

[@Jacek0Mazur]

I can't distinguish Effie's emotions when she said Haymitche's name. was she relieved or sad?

[@princenaemon]

Jacek Mazur Both. Relieved as she likely didn't want both Katniss and Peeta to die but sad because that means Haymitch will instead. Perhaps the prevailing emotion in her voice right then was mainly relief-- the idea of losing both of the star-crossed lovers was probably on her mind, but not in a way that's selfish and ignored Haymitch. But she didn't expect Peeta to volunteer.

[@crackshipsarelife]

I think that She is sad and relieved. But I ship Hayffie sonI will say sad ahah

[@agirlhasn0name]

Anguished. She loves all three and definitely knew that both guys were very likely to volunteer in one another's place. It could've been either of them, depending on whether one could convince the other to let him go...

Wow, you can really see Effie's character development. You can tell she really loved them all, especially Haymitch since they've been a team for a long time. She didn't wanna let them go.

[@ThadiusMeyers]

I love this scene because it shows the sympathy people in the Capitol have for the other districts. Yes, they have no fear of hunger or having no shelter but they themselves were victims of tyranny as well. In the books you see so many Capitol citizens who sympathized the districts. They knew it was wrong but if they said anything they too would become victims (just look at what happened to Katniss' stylists). So, in this scene you see that break in Effie's mask. She chose this job for a reason: to help these kids survive. And finally after all her years of working she finally has not one but two victors that she and Haymitch were able to assist in getting them out of the games only to have them meet a certain death a year later. To finally have success only for it to be taken away must be absolutely devastating and you can see at this moment she is done with the Games.

[@nerdburger234]

Thadius Meyers But I doubt anyone is gonna say "Nah...I'm good..." If someone offers to take their place in a death match...

[@starthelotus3453]

Katniss’s prep team actually survived and they were taken to District 13 after the 75th. Coin tortured them thinking it would make Katniss happy. They helped her prepare for Snow’s execution.

[@edwardrobinson7726]

I just love that stunned/slightly disappointed look on Effie’s face when Peeta volunteers for Haymitch.

[@lololoulou565]

In the first movie (and book) it's the first time when Effie is the presenter for this "show" and she doesn't know what is it in the real life. So after know Haymitch, and Peeta, and Katniss, she is horrified by the 75 Hunger Games because now, she knows

[@crackshipsarelife]

lolo loulou Yeah, but she knew Haymitch for a very long time. The 74th wasn't her first games as an escort. I read that she had been working for a few years with Haymitch. I read also that she cried at night because she felt sorry for every tribute she had chosen and that they died, but she couldn't do it in front of the others especially if they are the people of the capital. I read it on wiki

[@murtazarizvi368]

the book even mentions the capitol people being angry becoz the victors were celebs to them

[@agirlhasn0name]

She always knew...she simply had no choice but to put on her act. "Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know..."

[@CJDM310]

Honestly, it seems ever since she is in charge of district 12 this is the first time a victor came from her district, let alone 2. From her perspective she's getting cheated out of her triumph of getting a victor through the games. That's my interpretation anyways.

[@agirlhasn0name]

She already has the experience of having escorted two D12 victors on the year of their win, and through the Victory Tour...she isn't being cheated out of that. I don't believe this plays a role with her. Certainly the prep trio, who had to be minimized and unnamed in the movies, were disappointed to lose out on future "Katniss & Peeta" things for their own sakes, but with Effie I believe it's all about them.

[@patmac1940]

I know this is so late but I really like how for the 74th Effie said “and now for the boys” and this time it was “and now for the men”.

[@froggiethefrog1357]

Luke Hogan HELL yea

[@madisongeorgia4692]

I was really gutted that they didn’t explain how Haymitch won in the films. Luckily it’s explained in the books. In Haymitch’s games, the arena was a Poison Paradise and there were 48 tributes instead of 24 because it was the second Quarter Quell. Pretty much everything except for a few things the Capitol provided in the arena was toxic so a lot of the tributes died from dehydration or starvation. Haymitch won by pretty much dodging and hiding from all the tributes so he wouldn’t have to fight anyone until he found a forcefield at the edge of the arena which caused things to bounce off of it and back up to the tribute if they dropped things at the forcefield. So Haymitch decided to use it as a weapon for when the only other tribute left (a girl from district 1), found him, and they started fighting and she cut open his stomach with an axe, so he led her to the forcefield where she threw her axe at Haymitch, and the axe bounced back up off the forcefield and lodged in her head, killing her. That’s how Haymitch won. Obviously the Capitol wasn’t happy that Haymitch outsmarted them by using the forcefield as a weapon, so two weeks after Haymitch won the games, the Capitol had Haymitch’s mother, younger brother, and girlfriend killed as a punishment.

i’ve always loved this scene because to me it seems like the very first time Effie sees the horrors and terrible things the capital/President Snow is capable of. she never cares before but after the 74th games she really got to meet the kids and people that are affected. and this scene does a great job of showing her newly found resentment towards the capitol as well as her sadness and anger for the victors.

I‘ve wondered if Peeta’s name wasn’t in there, but pieces of paper said Haymitch. Because Peeta was obviously going to volunteer for Haymitch. And I think President Snow wanted to make sure it was both of them that went back into the games. He couldn’t take the risk of Haymitch volunteering for Peeta.

[@willcc19-18]

I don’t know. It’s possible. As long as he got Katniss, the symbol for the rebellion, he would be satisfied. If he gets Peeta too, even better. Peeta is definitely capable of being a leader/starter of rebellion
