The Awkward Teenage Years of Katniss Everdeen Explained

Video Description

The comprehensive guide to the complete complete history and life of Katniss Everdeen: The Girl on Fire or The Mockingjay, from the Hunger Games Trilogy Explained. Taking you through her captivating story through Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games (2012), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014), and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015), as well as The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023). From the ages of 16 through 18, Catnip was able to survive 3 Hunger Games in a row, the kind of Games that take place in a dystopian future, a game where two young representatives or “tributes” from one of the 12 districts are sent into an arena. Each of the 24 tributes have to eliminate their fellow tributes until one victor remains. During this, all of Panem is forced to watch. We see how Katniss is able to go from a tribute to a victor to The Mockingjay of the Second Rebellion. All thanks to President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland). We analyze Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) complicated relationship with Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth). Gale was full of fire like her, but she needed Peeta who was a Dandelion in the Spring. We discuss how much Katniss loves her sister Primrose Everdeen (Willow Shields), enough to take her place in the games and volunteer as tribute. So, of course, we talk about the epic tale of Katniss and Gale acquiring a goat named “Lady” in order to gift it to Prim. Katniss basically became Prim’s mom, and Mr. Everdeen (Katniss’ dad left the world) and Ms. Everdeen (who apparently doesn’t have a first name) checked out. Katniss was able to find unlikely alliances and friendships with Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) and Johanna Mason (Jena Malone). How she was able to learn from Johanna how to no longer fear the Capitol's control over her family, loved ones and all of Panem. Also, how Finnick and Katniss bonded over the Capitol taking Peeta and Finnick’s love interest, Annie Cresta (Stef Dawson). In this reaction, we get to see more character development from deleted scenes relationships with Bonnie and Twill, Madge Undersee and red headed Avox that I completely forgot the name of. How similar Katniss’ experience with Rue (Amandla Stenberg) in the 74th was to Victor Haymitch Abernathy’s (Woody Harrelson) experience with Maysilee Donner (Stefania Barr) in Second Quarter Quell/ 50th Hunger Games. I take you through almost the full history of the Hunger Games, from the 10th Games, to the 25th, the 50th (Haymitch’s Games), 74th, 75th and 76th; even President Alma Coin’s (Julianne Moore) proposal of the 77th Games. The kind of games hosted by Head Gamemakers like Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley). In order to help you gain some better insight, I reference interviews with author Suzanne Collins and books like The Hunger Games: Tribute Guide by Suzanne Collins and Emily Seife. #thehungergames #theballadofsongbirdsandsnakes Sources: NY TIMES: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/18/books/suzanne-collins-talks-about-the-hunger-games-the-books-and-the-movies.html ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: https://ew.com/article/2010/08/12/suzanne-collins-on-the-books-she-loves/ Follow Bryce Edward Brown on other stuff ➤ YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/BryceEdwardBrown ➤ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bryceedwardbrown ➤ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BryceEdBrown ➤ LETTERBOXD: https://letterboxd.com/ScifiBryce This video was made by Bryce Edward Brown
