Watching THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 for the FIRST TIME and it's INSANE! *Movie Reaction*

[@Fenix-lr6ez]

The first minutes of this movie are excellent. I can't recall any beggining of any other movie as good as this one. Katniss and Finnick looking mentally destroyed, and finishing with "I wish they were dead and we too" is just amazing.

[@Profanity01]

This is my favorite out of all five movies, everyone always says otherwise because this one has the least action, but action scenes are only one of the many factors the make this movie such a masterpiece.

[@atticusfinch7543]

Ikr! I love the first movie way more than second. So good. Also, people who said that mockingjay should be one movie instead of 2, well if they not making long as movie i don't want thatm i'd rather it has 2 movie than 1 but got cut off lots of parts of the novel.

The 5th movie is not a continuation of Katniss and Peeta’s story. It is a prequel that follows President Snow and his rise to power. The next movie you’ll watch is the conclusion.

[@jamielee7943]

YES! I am so glad you guys loved this Part 1. It gets so much flack for not being “action” enough which means people just miss the entire message & purpose of what is happening. Mockingjay book & films are my favourite of the series because the spectacle is now gone & we are in the thick of it. You see the aftermath of how the games psychologically manifest in the tributes. The consequences of war. The price of rebellion. The ongoing battle between Snow & Katniss now with Peeta in the middle. The author & filmmaker don’t shy away from the horrible, traumatic & heartbreaking reality of having your world, your loved ones, your home torn apart. Freedom is hard won & it can cost more than you can bear. Katniss is still a 16 year old girl. Having all of what happens to her, those around her & what is requested of her on your shoulders would break anyone.

[@misakamikoto48]

Yeah many are too focus on action only that they forgot the message or the real plot of the story. I see a lot of that even in anime community they don't appreciate the slow plot saying its boring, a lot of talking, lack of action etc. when in fact the the main core of the whole plot is actually there, its not nonsense or boring if you actually appreciate or understand every single thing they are talking but I guess some will miss that message cause they are not focus to the scene & only interested to the action. I know action is entertaining but knowing & understanding what they are fighting for will make you relate to the characters more and will have the whole series a lot of impact

[@shaungerald23]

Nah. It's not about the action. It's about the pacing. This is the slowest pacing sequel out of the four. Personally I don't think they should have split the last movie into two parts. There are scenes that replay twice that could have been cut or combined with other scenes to quicken the pace. But splitting films into two parts was popular at this point. And well... money. I would love to see someone condense Part 1-2 into one movie.

[@jamielee7943]

@@shaungerald23 I disagree. I think the pacing works. Most of the complaints I see is about lack of action. If it was all in one film it would be the same issues that The Ballard of Songbirds & Snakes criticisms have been. It’s too long. They tried to cram too much in etc. Final books in a series always has so many moving parts. They have a lot of loose ends to tie up. I understand why they split it into two to please fans & to give us a more satisfying ending after committing to three films already. I’m glad they split them so we could get everything that happens in the books in the film. If vital things were left out… it would be worse to me & most fans. When you watch Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 in one sitting just think of them as one big 4 hour film 🤣

[@shaungerald23]

Ballard sucked. Not because it was long. It was just blah. Poor casting. Not engaging.@@jamielee7943 Like I said, there were repeat scenes with subtle differences that could have been combined or taken out. Wouldn't have affected the movie in any shape or form. But money is money.

Gale was capable of judging others harshly (talking smack about Peeta saying HE wouldn't cave to torture when he's never been tortured by professionals) AND was capable of killing civilians unnecessarily with no guilt. Katniss killed people but ALWAYS felt the guilt about it. Peeta wouldn't kill anybody unless absolutely necessary.

You could argue he was asleep during the hair moment, but wasn’t asleep the whole time. And Gale would have seen Katniss kiss Peeta back to sanity and not once mentions guilt over that. I think when Gale says she would pick the one she couldn’t survive without that he knew that she had made a choice and why. Katniss needed Peeta to live and not just survive.

[@scahearn6279]

The pearl Katniss keeps rolling around is a token of who Peeta was. In the first book Effie while bragging about how clever she was Effie told Katniss and Peeta she told potential sponsors that they were pearls because if you put enough pressure of coal it turns into pearls. So when Peeta gave it Katniss in Catching Fire it was a personal joke between them. After Peeta warns them of the bombs Katniss wraps it up and buries deep in a drawer trying to protect it from the bombs as if if it was Peeta’s life so no one can take it away.

Effie knows f about pearls Cuz they are made by mollusks who have some sort of an irritant inside of them that they cover in this calcium stuff. That's really pretty.

The 5th movie is a prequel! It’s from President Snow’s POV and the 10th hunger games. I absolutely love Mockingjay Part 1. People are so lame for discounting it because it’s not crazily action packed. War isn’t solely that; it’s behind the scenes, the “moves and countermoves” that make war happen

[@exekyute]

The area of super nice houses in District 12 that weren't destroyed is called Victor's Village and the reason it wasn't hit by bombs is because it's an extension of the capital; plus no one was in them when the bombers were hitting 12 too. Also, the rose that was in the vase in Katniss' house was fresh, meaning it had been put their recently and was a sign left to rattle Katniss.

[@needyverse]

34:03 Katniss didn't send the falling planes into the hospital, it's confusingly shot/edited but the hospital is in the opposite direction. Basically 99% of the time, reactors think she sent the planes into the hospital and it's so frustrating

[@scahearn6279]

In the book one of 13’s head doctors told her when she wasn’t sure of what was happening or if something was real to start by reminding herself what was real so she would start with her name and age before listing other facts. That is what she is doing in the beginning of the movie when they are trying to get her out of her hiding spot. In the book before Peeta is rescued she did a lot of hiding in small spaces and had to be ferreted out. The scene where Finnick says he wished everyone was dead was actually in Catching Fire not Mockingjay.

[@mrguezz5919]

as the person who watch this movie without reading the book. I like the "mockingjay part 1" so much. I think this is the best movie than the entire hunger games franchise.

[@jrlombardi5251]

Pretty sure in the book they describe how Peeta was forced to watch Annie and Johanna get tortured

[@ptitepeluche05]

It's never said that Annie was tortured physically. But it's heavily implied that she was in a cell next to Peeta and Johanna and heard their screams. From the book : “Johanna, could you really hear him screaming?” “That was part of it,” she says. “Like the jabberjays in the arena. Only it was real. And it didn't stop after an hour. Tick, tock.” Maybe you are confusing with the avox girl and Darius, the old peacekeeper of 12. Peeta watcher her be electrocuted and die. And he had to watch Darius being dismembered bit by bit until he died too.

[@synth3662]

And the part where they know how well they all scream

[@jrlombardi5251]

I think the point of Katniss's house not being destroyed is bc she lived in a kinda separated place with other victors where conditions were better, even if it was still district 12. They went against the poor and didn't even mind to go where the explosions wouldn't get to bc they're going against just the more vulnerable. Also, just three victors lived there and Haymitch even lived alone, so there wasn't much point on attacking that, as Katniss and Haymitch weren't even there and they got Peeta.

One of the ways the districts rebelled was to stop working so the capitol would have no supplies. That's why work was now enforced even more strictly & they increased hours - to punish but also so the capitol could get stuff they needed because the supply chain was being disrupted due to the rebellion.

You even caught the fact the Capitol is using Peeta's honesty to undermine Katniss' symbolism, because he doesn't know everything that happened in the arena or afterward. So good guys!!!!

[@katieb.024]

I’ve NEVER understood the hate for this movie. I’ll rewatch this movie more than I rewatch the first one🤷‍♀️. This movie is so vital to the world building needed for part two, but also takes its time in getting you to feel exactly how Katniss feels. They show you a series of really awful things, but also really strong and brave things from katniss and the districts. They get you to feel that stress for Peeta’s safety- and then Katniss’s too by the end. They make you ANGRY with the capitol over and over, esp snow bombing the wounded. You need this movie in order for the finale to feel even half as big as it does. People who say it’s too slow and not enough action- kinda miss the ENTIRE point of these movies, LOL. This movie starts to also really show the true Gale… Anywho. I LOVED this reaction. Thank you so much for sharing with us!!🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@genny5309]

The bombers didn’t hit the hospital when Katniss’ arrow brought them down, though it is confusing the way the movie is shot. Finnick talked about how Snow trafficked the victors, sold them if they were desirable, and killed someone they loved if they refused. Johanna refused and Snow killed her family. In Catching Fire, that’s why she said that he couldn’t hurt now, there was no one left that she loved. 😢

[@scahearn6279]

Snow had Haymitch’s entire family killed two weeks after the second quarter quell and Haymitch says he was made to be the example to the young Finnick’s, Johanna’s and Casheme’s of what could happen when a Victor doesn’t comply with the Capitol’s demands.

[@needyverse]

A really intricate detail I always enjoy in the costuming for this movie is the clothing Peeta wears in the broadcasts. Take a look at the first broadcast again at 12:44 - the collar is amazing, it looks like a knife against his throat. The point actually presses against his throat when he speaks. Peeta was being imprisoned and forced onto the broadcasts by the Capitol, which means he was being styled and dressed by them. The outfits were in line with where he left off in the last film, so he is in all white first (at his most pure and symbolic), and in the second broadcast at 39:27 he is in all black with the white peeking through in the centre. Finally, in the third broadcast at 47:43, Peeta is in all grey - at his most beaten down. The collars and ties reference him being literally collared and in a chokehold by the Capitol.

in the book they were treating effie really badly in district 13. and when katniss flipped out on them for mistreating her everyone was looking at katniss like she was crazy, even gale.

@@fmj1978 no, in the 3rd movie when effie is first in district 13 after katniss escaped from the ganes, plutarch (don't know if that's spelled right) says she's being treated exactly like everyone else in 13, but in the book that was not the case. they later left her alone because of katniss. it's been a while since i read the book, but i know effie wasn't treated as well as she was in the movie, because to them everyone in the capital is an enemy. and when gale was asking katniss why she would defend her, she said she's like a kid, she doesn't know any better. then she told him how effie cried when katniss had to go back into the games. maybe effie wasn't treated as badly as the prep team you're talking about, i honestly don't even remember that, i just remember everyone thinking katniss is crazy for defending effie.

Short explanation of what Penam is as a country. It’s the only known country left on Earth after the seas rose, and war consumed the planet. Penam is the remnants of the US that were left.

MJ1 is definitely my favorite of the whole series. Catching Fire is so good, especially after the first movie that already sets a high bar. But after finishing the whole series, it's easy to see that MJ1 has the most gravitas. It's like a dark poetry gut punch, showing you what PTSD really looks like, what pain looks like. It's the first real glimpse of what major loss looks like and how horrifying it is. And you get to see the districts start to take action. Plus I'm always impressed with Josh Hutcherson's performance in this movie and the next. He's just a perfect choice for Peeta. Looking fwd for the next reaction!

If you look at what makes these stories enjoyable, Catching Fire is the perfect combination of them all: 1. action/Games 2. story progression/character development 3. politics 4. Katniss/Peeta romance. The first movie was mostly 1 and 2 with sprinkles of 3 and 4. Catching fire blends all 4 very effectively.

The rose is still alive and looks so perfect because it's one of the capitols modified roses, most likely specifically left by Snow when he visited in Catching Fire or after District 12 was burned he could have had it placed there - all to eventually remind Katniss (or anyone that goes to that house) that Snow is always watching & can get to her no matter where she runs

I think most fans who say this is the worst of the four movies is because they find splitting the third book into two films unnecessary and made this part 1 a little bit dragging and ends with no resolution.

Still love that they showed scenes from different district and how Katniss' words impcted them.

[@matchababy8485]

they made a good decision to split it. chugging the whole book in 1 movie leaving the perspective from other district and the growth of Katniss’ rebellion will still receive criticism from people. Mockingjay part 2 is a whole book in itself, cutting them both in a two hour film will lack that impact. And of course, they gotta drag the hype 😄

@@B16wallyhave you watched part two? There is SO MUCH content especially at the end, it actually feels rushed. You are really suggesting this was split to “make money”. You also probably are one of the morons who think she wrote The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes because she “knew it would be a film”. Those people are also morons, if they bothered to open the book they would realize the entire story was told through snows point of view using his mind as a narrator. Try turning that into a film. They had to change a TON.

@RD-kd2di Nothing much happened? The entire rebellion actually started banding together & we saw how each district was organizing to fight back.

[@B16wally]

@@orphanedhanyou yeah nothing much happened, in terms of the story, all of the rebellion will and always happen so it was extended just because the book was split into two, character development has remained stagnant even when peeta was rescued, their motivation remained as at the beginning of the movie... like I said nothing much happened and it would have benefitted if the book was only into one movie. If you think that presenting the rebellion is enough for the movie then that's your opinion. But I'm just saying a lot of us think splitting it is unnecessary.

My least fav is the fourth movie. Not coz its a bad movie, but I hated certain plot points

[@jimmyneurons57]

can the guy in the yellow shut up for like 2 seconds or does he have to comment/make a joke that doesnt hit every line the actors say

[@Zerefk9]

This reminds me of Hamas vs Israel. Especially the part where snow just condones killing injured and innocent people like how Israel does

worst part of these movies is how katnis goes from practically hating peeta and not wanting anything to do with him for 2 movies to w/e this is

[@luiscalzoncit2820]

She never hated him, she just didn't know him and thus didn't trust him. She basically came around since the first movie, because when they announced that two victors from the same district could win, she immediately went to him, befriended him and nurse him back to health.

This is the piece that doesn’t translate well from book to movie. Peeta is a constant thought in Katniss’ mind and it’s quite obvious what her feelings for him are even when she doesn’t realize it. When I first saw the movies cause my daughter was watching them I was like why would she choose that little guy. Then I finally read the books and was amazed at the difference between book Peeta and movie Peeta. Peeta got done dirty by the movies. If Katniss was the spark Peeta was the fuel that caused it to catch fire. The way that Katniss and Peeta balance each other out is the reason they survived the arenas. Their strengths and weaknesses complement each other. Having read the books it makes complete sense why she fell apart without Peeta she needed him. She even says it herself right before the beach kiss when Peeta says "No one really needs me" her thought is “I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.” Katniss and Peeta are bound to each other if one doesn’t survive the other would be haunted by the other, but the movies did not build that relationship properly. I think the moments from the book they didn’t include where Katniss and Peeta are just two 17 year old kids were needed. Scenes like Peeta having to finish Katniss’s food at the President’s mansion so she can taste everything, working on the plant book, the train to the Quell, Peeta calling Katniss Pure and their day off on the roof. It felt like the movies wanted a love triangle so Peeta’s actual importance was sacrificed.

What movies did you watch? She never hated him & she only didn't want to be fake and have to perform.

I think people didn't like the 2 Mockingjay movies because there was no Games. 🫤 But these two are important because they show the real fight.
