Scenes That Wowed Me *Spoiler Alert*. I have seen the movie twice and in both instances am thoroughly impressed with the acting, the sequence of events, and the choices the director–Francis Lawrence–makes.

It is much more satisfying than the first movie, though I still worry about some of the themes translating to those who have not read the books. I will include my least- favorite in a separate post.
A mockingjay is a bird that was. Retrieved from 'http://thehungergames.wikia.com/wiki/Mockingjay Mockingjay is the third and final novel in The Hunger Games. Gale, Cressida, and Pollux dress in Capitol clothing to blend in. 573 quotes from Mockingjay. Peeta says the words slowly, tasting it.
Please note: there are movie and book *spoilers* to both Catching Fire AND Mockingjay in my lists! Moments that WOWed me in . And it was just as heart- breaking–if not more–seeing it as it was reading it. When Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) looked at Rue's family and began talking about how she sees Rue in the wildflowers, in the mockingjays, and especially in her sister Prim, the tears started streaming. They played the same heart- wrenching music we heard in . But the moment that actually made me choke back some sobs was when the old man whistled and gave Katniss the silent salute.
Jennifer Lawrence's reaction mimicked the audience's: the horror, the helplessness, the disgust of the atrocity that happens next to the old man. Peeta's (Josh Hutcherson's) reaction had the same horrified look when the trigger was pulled. Thankfully the door closes to spare the audience–and keep it at a PG- 1. The Capitol's reaction to the seemingly innocent whistle and salute is still frighteningly terrifying.!
It will tie in very nicely with Mockingjay and really showcased Katniss's impact with the Capitol audience. Yes, it's a small detail. But it is only when Buttercup returns to District 1. Prim that both the reader and Katniss finally grieve and come to terms with the loss of the beloved character. Their acting provided the perfect comic relief.
If it weren't for the scenes these two played in, it would have been such a depressing movie. They both showcased the ridiculous and outlandish Capitol attitude of excess and egocentrism. Though I would have liked a little warmer bonding between the two in this scene and in prior scenes, I love that they included it because it tells me they won't leave it out in . Bravo to Francis Lawrence for including this line.
In fact, the banter between him and Caesar was perfection. He was almost exactly as I pictured Finnick with his stunning smile and cocky attitude. When he offers Katniss a sugar cube, I was hooked. Just watch Katniss and you can't help feeling the injustice, helplessness, and fear as she enters the arena. When Mags meets Katniss for the first time, no words are needed. Her eyes show us all the emotion we need: she feels for Katniss, respects that she volunteered for her sister, and believes in her. Mags shows us how others see Katniss: the symbol of hope, the hope for change, the possibility that someday they can be free.
Pretty deep when you consider she says it all without uttering a single word. Enough to affect even Snow's granddaughter. I love that we see Finnick look at Katniss strangely in that scene because it foreshadows the Mockingjay scene when he tells Katniss that he knew she loved Peeta (that it wasn't an act) when she thought Peeta was dead in the arena. To me, this shows such attention to detail by director Francis Lawrence.

He knew he had to have Finnick react that way in order to pull off that Mockingjay scene. They were incredibly disturbing. No, they weren't really orange, but that didn't bother me. This scene happens in the early morning, so it is still dark. I think if we saw that scene in full daylight, it would have been even more frightening. Jennifer Lawrence and Sam Caflin are convincingly tormented by the cries from their loved ones; Josh Hutcherson is equally remarkable trying to convince Katniss that they aren't real.
This scene truly portrayed the psychological agony felt by the tributes. Her line about having no one left really digs deep. I loved how Peeta tried to convince Katniss that she should live. I just wish there was a little more to this scene. Which leads me to my least- favorite moments. You can read those HERE. But you'll notice the list is much smaller than this.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Character, character foil.
