So, I already posted this, but I'll give it one more shot:

I think the view that the reality of The Hunger Games is literally happening right now is so right and probably way scarier than people even realize. When we talk about The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins literally just reflected real capitalist-caused issues to fit into a dystopian world, but it's literally here, from the most obvious thing to the simplest detail:

How the riches and concessions from the Capital to loyalist Districts made people from 1, or 2, or so on, think of themselves as closer (in nature) to people of the capital than people in the poorest Districts? That's middle-class thinking, stopping them from realizing they're just as pressed by the Capital as the poorest Districts (the guy from 2 in the last movie, saying he wasn't Snow's slave when WE KNOW he is, everyone is?)?

How the electric fence around 12 is THE ONLY THING stopping people from starving to death since they could very well USE the land? That's literally the argument for legalized occupation movements on unused land, like MST and MTST in Brazil.

The use of addictive drugs and the idea of a "war on drugs" in District 6 to control the population and quite literally render them useless to weaponize such an important thing as medical supplies against the Capital (not that this should happen, but still)? That's literally happening in most poor countries in the world, just as much with legalized drugs - like the COVID vaccine (which Africa had and is still having trouble acquiring because of the Global North) - as with illegal drugs like weed, which is used as justification for police to invade favelas in Brazil, kill innocent people (children especially) and brutalize dozens more each time in a war against poor POC in special.

What they did to Finnick, Cashmere, and Gloss? Lemme tell you two words: Epstein Scandal.

The control of the media? Comms people can tell you: media always has a side, it's not bad in itself, but most of the mainstream media is right-wing and/or conservative, and I'm not talking just regionally, but globally, hence what we're seeing at mainstream media trying to hide important news, manipulate or maintain the narrative of equivalence between Israel and Palestine when we know what is happening is a genocide, an ethnic-based genocide.

The dehumanization of the people from the Districts suffer by the people of the Capital? How billionaires see the working class, how white people view POC, how the North looks at Global South countries - that's exactly there, people.

It's literally there.

But we're not the Capital, not entirely at least. It's true that we live in constant alienation caused by the overwhelming amount of content we have to swallow on a day to day basis — Brave New World, hello? — but we, the working class, are also the ones who pay the price of the "Capital's" need for profit without wanting to actually work — we work so they don't have to, even though we should be the ones to benefit from the result of our own work.

No cause they cant erase Lucy Gray no matter how hard they try! They may erase her game, her memory but not her music, never her music. Cause the Covey may not sing anymore but their tale in songs will go on to their kids. Maude Ivory is Katniss's grandmother!! Thats how Katniss knows the Hanging Tree song! And i think when Katniss and Prim was kids and Katniss was singing the Hanging Tree and their mother took their necklaces they were making and said "dont sing that ever again" it was because she didnt want anyone knowing they were Covey. Singing that song could get you killed and thats why she didnt want anyone to know that theyre Covey!

They might make everyone forget about Lucy Gray but Covey will remember. Only way Katniss could know about that song is that shes Covey and Maude Ivory makes perfect sense! Maude Ivory loved to eat the plant Katniss and Katniss's dad knows about the lake which only the Covey's know and Katniss can sing everysong with hearing it once (or something like that) therefore Katniss is Maude Ivory's granddaughter!!

Nothing on my mind except for how feral and crazy Katniss went when she and Peeta were taken out of the arena. How insane she went because she thought they were hurting him. How if they put that in the movies they probably wouldn’t have been able to drag out the stupid love triangle with annoying Gale.

so i started reading hunger games yesterday and today i got to the page where katniss sees rue get reaped for the games, and i distinctly remember all the outlast from racists when amandla was cast as rue for the movie, people saying they always imagined her as white or blonde or whatever.

only now am i realizing JUST how insane that is, obviously it’s racist and stupid, but it’s also just flat out wrong? she’s literally described immediately as havinf dark brown skin.

WDYM YOU IMAGINED HER WHITE AND BLONDE? CAN YOU READ??

You know what about Catching Fire we don't talk about enough? How the movie made Effie's hair the wrong orange but left in the lines referencing it's brightness anyway.

I’m gonna be so real I really don’t like how they portrayed the characters in the hunger games movies. The movies feel like you can’t really understand them without reading the books they just give like very little information compared to the books. The world they live in is so complex and with that you need good world building and they just don’t do it justice in the movies also they CUT OUT MADGE AND I LOVE HER CHARACTER SO MUCH. My biggest gripe is how Peeta is portrayed in the movies and how in the movies haymich has blonde hair when in the books he is described to have the seam look???? It’s so stupid. I have high hopes for song birds and snakes but I will probably be dissapointed

ok so katniss describes effie wearing a pink wig in book one and then we learn that there were pink birds in haymitch’s arena in book two.

this seemingly minute detail has always stuck out to me. what it tells me is that haymitch and effie are incompatible on a foundational level. it also alludes to effie’s role in the story. she plays an active role in perpetuating his trauma by being a games escort, so it makes perfect sense that she’s dressed up in a way that reminds him of the birds from his arena.

I generally dislike the movies, but one of the things I will give them credit for is the capitol fashion design. it looks so goofy and over the top. when I first watched the movies, I really liked that they had effie in a pink outfit, even though her hair was white. at the time, I thought it was going to be a great set up for when katniss and peeta watched haymitch’s games in catching fire. unfortunately, haymitch isn’t in the reaping scene in the first movie and they don’t say a word about his backstory in the second movie. *sigh*

Just got out of Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!!! Holy shit it was amazing! Only thing i wish that they put the line "Its not over til the Mockingjay sing" like how could they dont put THAT line in the movie! But exept that it was amazing!! They shouldve made it 5 hour long with every bit of the book. I wouldve watch a 5 hour long hunger games movie

I really want to annotate the hunger games but I don’t think I’ve got the spare copies anymore and I highly doubt my family will want to read it with my handwriting all over it
