I was
afraid that I’d be over this story by now, but my heart raced from the very
first second!! AHHH! I am a huge fan of the books and love, LOVE the movies and
this one is sooo good!! All the details from the book are there! That’s the best
reason to split the final book into two parts :p.
The
story of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) continues after she escaped the second
Hunger Games and found herself in the middle of the revolution led by President
Coin (Julianne Moore) of District 13, the district everyone thought
was destroyed 75 years ago. Struggling to stay sane and hoping to find Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) again Katniss becomes the revolution symbol
and their Mockingjay. And it’s not that simple; President Snow (Donald Sutherland) is ruthless and with every attack they hit
him with, he prepare his counter attack.
What I
love about this story is how Suzanne Collins showed the psychological effects
of going through the Hunger Games. How it changed and damaged them. And all the
actors, ALL of them did an amazing job to show it!! Jennifer, Josh and OMG, Sam Claflin who is an amazing choice to play the role of
Finnick Odair showed their suffering in their voices, their eyes and their
movements. In the book other than Peeta, Finnick was my favorite character, so
I’m super happy with Sam!
The rest
of the cast are just as brilliant if not even more! Julianne more gave me
goosepumps and it was great, yet sad to see Philip Seymour Hoffman who is no longer with us.
To talk
about the visual effects and the setting; they truly brought it to life in the
movie! I mean the underground district 13 showed us what the book told us it
would look like. The details of how everyone wears the same cloths, the minimum
use of materials mix with the high tech weaponry. Oh and lets not forget the Posters they did for the movie! Best posters ever!
To those
who haven’t read the book, the movie was a bit too slow for them, because there
was no more Hunger Games, but the story is now beyond the games and focus on
something much greater. I cried so much! Especially in the end *weep*.
For me
there will be nothing like The Hunger Games, just like there will never be
another Harry Potter. Suzanne had created a deep and emotional story
that will live in my heart forever. And I can’t wait for Part 2 to be released
next year!
