Fire. Katniss ( now in district 13 after district 12 was destroyed by
the capitol ( Hey it's not a spoiler, they mentioned it in Catching Fire
) ,is haunted by the experience she had in the 75th Hunger Games where
Peeta and the other tributes were taken hostage by the Capitol. The
district 13 , lead by President Coin asks Katniss to be the face of the
rebellion as The Mockingjay against the Capitol. Katniss accepts the
offer on the condition of saving Peeta and the other tributes and giving
them pardon if they succeed to free them. What follows next is how
Katniss suffers emotional breakdowns as she sees the districts being
taken down and then becomes the face of the rebellion and inspires the
other districts to fight with her. The movie ends at the climax
which leaves you hungry for the part 2. - The climax sets the tone of the Final War that is about to come .
*For those who read the book, you know what I mean in that Peeta part*
Jennifer Lawrence(Katniss Everdeen) keeps getting better and better. Josh Hutcherson ( Peeta Mellark) steals the show. Liam Hemsworth ( Gale ) gets more screen time and ably supports Katniss is her fight against the Capitol. Donald Sutherland ( President Snow ) and Philip Hoffman ( Pluatarch Heavensbee ) along with Julliane Moore ( President Coin) portrays their roles perfectly.
And Haymitch and Effie provides some moments of humour in this movie which is set on a much darker tone than it's previous outings.
