“Mockingjay Part 1” (2014)

Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 begins shortly after the end of Catching Fire, with Katniss Everdeen still recovering from the end of the Quaternary Massacre when she was rescued by the rebellion leaders headed by the District President 13 Alma Coin and Plutarch Heavensbee and now she has to be the symbol of rebellion, the Thrush. It also has the presence of the dreaded President Snow ordering a severe retaliation against supporters of the rebellion.

In this work, Gale Hawthorne gain a greater emphasis than in the first film, as Peeta is under the rule of capital, and shows what really is the best friend of Katniss.

In this film, no more games, no more fights in the arena or televised programs. There is only resistance, and Katniss curiously wants to fight using the same enemy weapon: the media. The battle between oppressive government and then rebellion becomes essentially a propaganda battle. Katniss convinces the people to rebel, while a Peeta increasingly strange starts to appear on television asking his beloved to stop the fight.

The first part of Mockingjay came as a sweeping wave of special effects, fidelity to the book, impeccable production and especially excitement from start to finish. We can attribute this to the history of film itself, which because it is the last book of the trilogy, comes with a hint of drama, anticipation for the outcome of the story and sense of advance nostalgia.
