FULL LENGTH REACTION* for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
Added 2022-11-10 13:58:08 +0000 UTCIt's Thursday!! And that means a full length reaction is available: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.
Another intense movie where I keep thinking everyone will die at any point.
I hope you enjoy the reaction, and just a reminder that you need your own copy of the movie to follow along (unless you want to figure out what the movie is about based on my reaction which might be pretty difficult).
Have a great rest of your week!

Could not agree more!! These movies end up being way better and way more than what I expected. I just thought it would be a teenage story that ends up being a love triangle with not many meaningful themes BUT, was I ever wrong!! Effie throughout the movies has such great character development and we really see her for who she is, which is so different from what I assumed in the first movie

By far the best done Star Wars in a long time, far more complex than usual look at the banality of fascism and oppression and the cost of the rebellion for normal people.

2022-12-09 04:37:19 +0000 UTCI commented on the YouTube vid for Catching Fire earlier but wanted an excuse to watch the full mocking jay movies again, so here I am, hah. I’ve never been a fan of shaky cam in general (only movie I ever walked out of was a Bourne movie since it just got too much). But I really like what these movies end up being… about severe trauma, the power (even potentially for good) of propaganda to make an argument, and the danger that a revolution only replaces one dictator with another. Surprisingly mature exploration of some difficult themes. And yes Effie is great, Elizabeth Banks plays it perfect. Love the character arc she pulls and she has to have had fun with the role!
