each team in f1 has two drivers who each year fight each other in races with one champion in the end who gets a trophy and glory. this year is the 75th year and it's a big event for the f1 comunity and all of this happen every 25 years. all the f1 community (drivers, teams, fans...) has one enemy, the fia. the interviewers enjoy the drama between drivers and ask questions to make them suffer.
now...
in the hunger games each district has two tributes who every year are forced to fight for one victor who gets eternal glory. this year is 2025 and it is a quarter quell that happens...every 25 years yes exactly. all of the panem population has one enemy, the capitol. the capitol population loves to watch the tributes suffer in the games.
so....this year is a formula 1 quarter quell which means that the capitol (the fia) will absolutely destroy our drivers for one victor (champion). i can't believe i just connected the dots panem is real and it's every weekends on our tv.
Suzanne collins didn't write sunrise on the reaping to give us haymitch's games...no. She wrote it to remind us that isntead of fangirling over snow cause we saw him as a young and broken boy the only words that he deserves to hear are 'fuck you'. Haymitch was the broken one. Not Katniss, not Snow not anyone...No. Haymitch was the one who suffered the most because of the game. As Lenore Dove would say:
Haymitch I love you like all fire
Spoilers for Catching fire of the Hunger games series, if u havent watched it dont read.
Rewatching the 2nd hunger games film, Catching Fire for the first time in a years here r my thoughts chronologically, & I've got a lot to say about this one:
- They actually show Katniss's PTSD, flashbacks and nightmares.
- Gale being a "nice guy", christ hes a an sh*tty
- watching them back to back, they recast the cat!!!
- Snow is a fabulous villain.
- CINNA 🥰
- Caeser Flickerman's banger theme tune!
- The camera's interview is so awkward
- Effie deserved Katniss snapping at her on the train
- Peeta acknowledging that he cant hold her to wot they did to survive in the games! Peeta's already way above Gale. Peeta king 👑 of communication.
- just asking each other their favourite colour is adorable
- The Mockingjay!
- Peeta offering to talk to make it easier for Katniss
- Peeta giving Thresh & Rue's families some of their winnings. Katniss's speech about Rue is beautiful, I'm sobbing
- I love district 11, f*ck the peace keepers!! That poor old man! Haymitch: Who's going to protect them!?
- Haymitch knows better than anyone that you never escape the games.
- Jennifer Lawrence is fabulous
- Haymitch cares about them so much, we love him.
- Katniss barely holding it together on the victory tour. She looked so horrified at the little girl saying she would volunteer just like Katniss did.
- Caeser Flickerman has no right to be so iconic.
- Peeta is amazing! I love him and Katniss
- Does Effie have to say Mahogany in every film?
- Peetas disgust at the Capitol compared to what people in the districts are going through.
- I love the politics of catching fire
- Seneca decided to stop breathing - Plutarch
- F*CK GALE!!!! SHE DOESNT HAVE TO LOVE U ROMANTICALLY FOR BOTH OF U TO SAVE UR FAMILIES!!!!! Gale's right about rebelling, but he isnt even trying to understand her trauma.
- I love the anti corporal punishment, pro riots/rebellion, f*ck the police message of catching fire
- Peeta without question helping to save Gale cos he's not selfish
- Prim being a great nurse!
- I don't think Katniss has ever had any romantic feeling for Gale, he's just her best friend at most, a lot of the time he's barely that, she would've thrown herself in front of that whip if it was anyone she remotely cared about.
- The trauma of all the victors. Haymitcch is right they're not winners, they're survivors. Nobody ever wins.
- Effie actually kinda realizing the games arent the honour shes been indoctrinated to think they are.
- Katniss didnt ghetto say goodbye to Prim 😭
- Finnick & Maggs!!! We love them.
- Finnick Odair 🥰
- The Capitol is even more perfect in this one
- Johanna Mason is iconic and fabulous
- Wiress & Beetie r great
- Maggs is the sweetest
- Transition from Seneca Cranes hanging body to Caeser Flickerman's banging theme song!
- The Victor's interviews are very persuasive & interesting, they each show a lot about the characters
- Slay Johnnana!!! Make him pay for it
- The costumes in this one is a step up from the first.
- the fact she knows that Cinna is in danger for the Mockingjay dress
- Peter "We actually got married" Mellark, Peter "If it werent for the baby" Mellark
- All the Victor's holding hands in a show of unity
- CINNA 😭 (Jennifer Lawrence was amazing in this scene)
- The arena is beautiful
- finnick: oh Sh*t Katniss might actually love Peeta.
- THE FOG ,, MAGGS!! 😭😭
- Tick Tock The arenas a clock
- PEETA! JOHNANNA!
- bye bye district 12
I love this film, for me, it's my favourite in the series.
I heard someone point out the difference between Coriolanus and Haymitch calling Lucy grey and Lenore dove ‘my girl’ and i was thinking that the difference is that Coriolanus means it like ‘she belongs TO me’ and Haymitch means ‘she belongs WITH’ me. Coriolanus is calling Lucy grey ‘MY girl’ and Haymitch is calling Lenore dove ‘the girl who lets me call her mine’ if that makes sense? (I also don’t remember when Coriolanus called Lucy grey his girl but if he DID this is what i would think) i don’t doubt that he did i just don’t remember
how much do you think katniss learned about her dad from haymitch? he said he told them his story in the epilogue…..from what i remember katniss was pretty young(??) when he died. what did she actually know about him? who told her she was covey? when haymitch told them about lenore dove did he talk about how her and katniss were related?
they better come out with an absolute BANGER for sunrise on the reaping. safe and sound? BANGER!! can’t catch me now? BANGER!! i want a song that gets stuck in my head for AT LEAST 3 days i swear i want to be sitting at school “but i’m in the treessss i’m in the breeezeeee my footsteps on the groundddd” i need it. i also wanna know whos writing it righttt now. i’ve seen people as for hozier sure.taylor again? sure. olivia again? absolutely. olivia and taylor colab? bring it on. i just need to be able to sing it in the shower for a week and a half
Haymitch felt so safe with Mags(i mean it was the hunger games but still safeish). He cried to her when Louella died. And she continued to comfort him in the games with the sponsor gifts. THE ICE CREAM WHEN MAYSILEE DIED!!!! They had met like a week or so (?) earlier. I cant do it this book might be my favorite of all the hunger games books just because i love haymitch so much. I love mags. Oh my good lord. Shes so sweet and kind and nice and ugh. Haymitch having to watch her in the 75th games too💔
During the 3rd Quarter Quell there’s no doubt in my mind that Annie Cresta’s name was on every piece of paper (for how many female victors there are in 4, probably a decent amount given its a career district). Think about it the Capital loves Finnick, but Finnick could never fully belong to the capital because of Annie. So they probably rigged it so that Annie would go in with Finnick and probably die. Leaving Finnick alone and officially sold to the capital
