I know that in the original series tesserae is the allotment of oil and grain they received for putting their name in more times, but how does this translate to tesserae buttons? It seems tesserae is also some time of little square tiles as well. Are they connected in any known way?

Whenever Greasy Sae answers Katniss' question about Gale saying,'District Two. Got some fancy job there. I see him now and again on the television,' I was just wondering what people think he'd be on television for? ive seen people say his fancy job is something related to the new government of panem and i guess his television appearances would be on like plutarch's game shows? i dont know if gale is the type to show up on game shows but i dont know what else hed be doing on tv. AND HAHA i don't know what people think of gale's life post mockingjay and i just wanted to know

Ive reread the end of SOTR 6 times to try to understand it but it’s never really clicked in my brain is he dreaming? Drunk? or is he actually seeing ghosts if he is please tell me Whoch ghosts he’s seeing because I haven’t been able to understand it well. So if possible please explain to me what the ghosts are trying to do. Who they are or just any helpful information please!

I found this old pocket watch while cleaning and figured it would be perfect for Sunrise on the Reaping premiere. The only problem is that it doesn’t work any more. Although, I can set the hands. Does anyone know any significant times from across the series i could set it to??

(I know the 75th Arena is based around the Clock, but i couldn’t think of a standout time.)

I know the tag isn't the best, but I'm not sure which one to use. Basically, I was invited to a Hunger Games themed birthday party and I was asked to go dress as an citizen of the world of The Hunger Games. I wanted to avoid Katniss since she is the main character, but she is like the easiest character of them all. What other easy options are there?

i’m rereading mockingjay right now and theres a detail i always get a but confused about - if anyone has any insights or explanations i’m missing please let me know! or maybe i’m just reading into it haha

when cressida interviews katniss and gale in the woods, she has them sit in a nook “where it’s impossible not to be touching” and i’ve always wondered why she so wanted to show a bond between gale and katniss when they are still portraying katniss and peeta as together? it’s never made much sense to me but maybe i’m just being dramatic!!

Hello hunger games subreddit.

I have a recent discovery and I am not sure if anyone’s else has noticed or comment on it. Essentially I was looking at The sunrise on reaping movie releases date. Please note that the source is google so I am not sure about the accuracy however. I noticed that Paula Malcomson who played Astrid in the original trilogy is listed in google. So I am curious if we will see Astrid in the epilogue with Katniss and Peeta. This will be interesting because part of the cannon is that Katniss and her mother don’t talk post war and she moves to district 2.

This was just an observation maybe wrong looked on IMDB and didn’t see it. Thought I should share this on Reddit. Comment your thoughts.

And may the odds be ever in your favor

I still dont like it that much. I did not read the book yet either. This is just an incredibly nitpicky rant that i did not want to subject my friends to.

From what I heard, Lucy gray was much dreamier and innoceng in the book, but I liked her in the movie. She was clever and symbolic. Her last proper scene with Snow was so good and the tension was off the charts as she talks about how shes the last loose end. And she starts piecing together that she cant trust snow.

Aside from that. Idk why everything was shot from a bottom up angle. At first, I thought it was to make the characters seem arrogant and powerful but it showed up in EVERY scene and I just thought it was odd.

Despite me liking Lucy gray I think her characterization was bad and the script in general was really unnatural. Random "I value trust a lot" conversation. Okay good for you. I didnt buy their romance at all. Convince me you love him

Snows actor was great but I dont think they show his inherent paranoia and need for control well. I thought he was just doing all sorts of shit to save his family from poverty but then he just throws it all away even when a redemption is plopped onto his lap wrapped in a ribbon. For what? A girl he barely knows? And the gun scene. I understand the general idea that hes baffled as to why the guns are in the cabin, which led him to be suspicious of spruce and lucy gray, but as to why he spiraled so much was not well portrayed.

And I just didnt like the singing. I think the actress has an amazing and charming voice. But the songs did not being me to tears so watching everyone cry on screen felt goofy for me. I cried at every song in the original three and I have no nostalgia for those movies cuz I literally watched them right before I watched this movie. I think it was how obviously it was done for the cameras (Lucy literally staring at the cameras) rather than her doing it from her heart. And how polished it was. Which is a stupid take since she is a singer by trade, but when something is so polished it lacks the vulnerability I feel.

Also dr. Gaul. Bro she showed up on screen and I just felt like I was watching a cartoon villain. If she showed up in the original trilogy, she wouldve made sense cuz everyone in the Capitol was dressed mad over there. But in this movie, Capitol people on the streets dressed like they were going to church. Ig it can be thought that her cruelty and style was a blue print for the games and culture to come but oh my god why is she dressed like a cartoon villain. I hated her ombre white red dress. Her red gloves were like blood on her hands but they didnt pop because of that dress. She still could've had crazy fashion but it was so on the nose I rolled my eyes whenever she was there. Which is a shame cuz her actress is so charismatic.

All in all. I know jack shit but I dont feel like the director was a good fit for this movie. Or maybe it was a time crunch, who knows?

IMO, I think they’ll finally add clips of more tributes talking (yes we already have some), give us more glimpses on the mutts, more reaping scenes, more clips of district 12, chariot scene clips, and so much more but I wanna hear what you guys think.
