Catching Fire

We all know about the Hunger Games series and have either seen the movie directed, by Garry Ross, or read the book by Suzanne Collins. Katniss Everdeen lives in district 12, in Panem; the new world after a major civil war. The government is angry about the civil war so they make 2 tributes from each district (12 districts in all) fight to the death in an annual Hunger Games. The hunger games is an all-out free for all fight with only one survivor. During the annual drawing to see who is picked to be tribute, Katniss’s sister ends up being picked as district 12’s tribute.  Katness then volunteers to be the first ever volunteer as tribute for district twelve, going in place of her sister. Then you have her whole dramatic showing before the games, her talking about her sister, preparing for the games, and the creation of the “star crossed lovers.”

            Then the real action starts and Katness is put into the games and as she runs into obstacles she finds a way through them and continues to go Rambo and win. Although she did not win alone, she and her fellow tribute or the other “star crossed lover”; Peeta Mellark where going to kill themselves so they would not have to kill each other. Before they could the games stopped and it was announced that they had both won. They were then taken back to the hospital and treated for anything they needed. The movie ended with president snow congratulating Katness and right before they were about to go on victors tour.

              Having The Hunger Games being a huge success the second movie Catching Fire was put into action immediately, one year later the next movie was starting to be shown in theaters. The film begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever, for better or worse.

            I have not yet seen the movie, but I will soon be going to it. I will have a review to the new Hunger Games movie Catching Fire very soon.
