A year after winning
the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark must go on what is
known as the Victor's Tour wherein they visit all the districts. But before
leaving, Katniss is visited by President Snow who fears that Katniss defied him
a year ago during the games when she chose to die with Peta. The first stop of the tour is in District 11,
former home of Rue, Katniss' 12-year-old ally who was killed in the previous
games. After Katniss and Peeta voice their personal thoughts regarding both the
districts' fallen tributes, a man in the crowd whistles the tune Katniss and
Rue shared to ensure each another of their safety, and makes the three-finger
salute of District 12. Everyone follows the man's example until a Peacekeeper
shoots the man dead, leaving Katniss angry, afraid, and upset. Their mentor,
Haymitch Abernathy, informs Katniss and Peeta that they must display their
relationship for the remainder of their lives.
Katniss and Peeta are
taken to the capital city, ride the parade again and are forced into training.
They meet their fellow victors from the other Districts. The two of them are
immediately wanted as allies by the majority of the tributes, although some of
them are old, weak or ill-suited for the physical match. Still, she finds that
some of them, while lacking in brute strength, may have valuable surviving
skills. During their individual evaluations, Peeta creates a drawing of a
deceased Rue covered in flowers on the floor; Katniss creates a puppet in the
likeness of Seneca Crane, and suspends it by its neck on the ceiling, as a a
warning to a stunned Heavensbee.
Snow hopes that Katniss
will kill and betray as many other tributes as possible to stay alive, and
thereby make herself impopular. However, as the games get underway, Katniss and
Peeta ally with Finnick Odair and Mags, both from District 4. They find that
the arena is a dome protected by forcefields; Peeta nearly dies after hitting
the field, but is resussitated by Finnick. Later that night, they are attacked
by a chemical weapon made up of a fog of painful poisonous gas. Mags sacrifices
herself early on, allowing the others to escape. The remaining trio rests in
the middle of the forest where they are attacked by mandrills. During the attack
the woman from District 6, a camouflage expert and drug addict, sacrifices her
life for Peeta. After they escape the mandrills and rest at the beach, they are
met by District 3's intelligent tributes, Wiress and Beetee, and District 7's
female tribute, the cunning Johanna Mason.
A
short story,
Beetee
suggests a plan to electrocute the two remaining tributes outside the alliance,
District 2's Brutus and Enobaria, connecting a wire to a tree that is struck by
lightning at noon and midnight, daily. Beetee secures the wire to the tree, and
Katniss and Johanna are required to take the other end back to the beach. The
plan fails when the wire snaps, cut by Brutus and Enobaria, who are ready to
kill Katniss. Johanna attacks Katniss, but cuts the tracker out of her arm and
smears blood on her neck. With Katniss appearing dead, Johanna lures the other
tributes away. After recovering enough to track down Peeta, Katniss finds the
rest missing and Beetee unconscious. Finnick approaches and Katniss draws her
bow, but hesitates to shoot. The storm clouds swirl and the lightning bolt
starts to form.She attaches the remaining wire to an arrow and shoots it at the
force field during the lightning strike. This causes a massive blackout in the
dome, and the arena to shut down. President Snow enters the game room demanding
answers, only to find that the game is off the air and Heavensbee is gone.
Due to the impact of
the electric blast, Katniss is near unconsciousness, but witnesses the arena
dome starting to crumble. In her last waking moment, she notices an aircraft
entering and picking her up.
She awakens in an
aircraft with an unconscious Beetee. Upon entering the cockpit she finds
Haymitch, Finnick and Plutarch Heavensbee, who reveals himself as an ally and a
turnacoat-rebel against Snow. Learning she is on her way to District 13 and
Johanna and Peeta were taken away by the Capitol, she attempts to attack
Haymitch for not fulfilling his promise of returning Peeta home safely.
Plutarch sedates her and she awakens days later with Gale by her side, who
informs that her family is safe but District 12 has been destroyed by a
government airstrike.
Why i like this movie?
I like this movie
because the story line is interesting. Emotionally draining and can open up the
imagination of the audience. Make the audience feels like they are on the
movie. I like two of the character. The name is Katniss Everdaan and Peeta
Mellark. I like Katniss Everdaan because
she is an independent woman, smart and very loving family. And i think she is
very cool. It is very interesting to me. And i like Peeta Mellark because he is
very handsome. :)
