This was to be a reminder that, allegedly, for every one Capitol death, the Districts lost two during the first rebellion. Maysilee and Haymitch made an alliance to help each other survive.
This lasted until five tributes were remaining. Shortly after parting ways, Maysilee was killed by candy pink bird muttations with spear-like bills, placing her fifth and leaving four tributes left. Then a tribute was eaten by carnivorous squirrel mutts, the next was killed in combat by the District 1 girl tribute.
This left Haymitch and the District 1 girl for the finale. Haymitch, though badly injured and literally holding his innards inside his stomach, managed victory by using the arena's forcefield to deflect a thrown axe from the Career girl which rebounded killing her, leaving Haymitch as the Victor. The Capitol leaders and Gamemakers thought Haymitch made them look foolish with this stunt and deprived their audience a proper finale, and promptly had his family and his girlfriend killed as a result.
Enobaria of District 2 won the 62nd Hunger Games , killing one of her former allies from the Career Pack by ripping open their throat with her teeth. This later became what Enobaria was best known for. She was encouraged to surgically alter her teeth, so they now end in points and are coated in gold, making them a flashy and deadly weapon.
Gloss of District 1 was the victor of the 63rd Hunger Games. Being from a Career District, it can be assumed that Gloss was in an alliance with the other Career tributes. Gloss and Cashmere were the victors of the 63rd and 64th Hunger Games, respectively.
Cashmere of District 1 was the victor of the 64th Hunger Games. It can be assumed that Cashmere was in a Career Alliance. Her brother, Gloss, won the previous Games. Finnick Odair won the 65th Hunger Games due to his proficiency with weapons, being from District 4 and therefore a Career Tribute, as well as his good looks that helped him acquire sponsors. He received a trident from sponsors, which Katniss believes is one of the most expensive gifts ever given during the Games. Being from the fishing district, he was skilled with the weapon and used handwoven nets to capture tributes and then stab them with his trident.
The victor of these Games is unknown. Also, Katniss mentioned in The Hunger Games that she remembered an edition from "a few years ago" in which the victor only received a 3 as his training score. Considering that "few" typically means "three to five," Katniss was referring to the victor of the 69th Hunger Games as the two subsequent victors, Annie Cresta and Johanna Mason, are female.
Annie Cresta of District 4 won the 70th Hunger Games. It is assumed she followed the typical Career Alliance strategy, but when her fellow District 4 tribute was decapitated, it left her traumatized and hid for the remainder of the game. She won only because a dam broke in the arena and flooded it; Annie was the best swimmer being from District 4 and outlasted all the remaining tributes.
Johanna Mason of District 7 won the 71st Hunger Games. Johanna won her games by pretending to be weak and fragile, but in reality, Johanna was a cold-hearted killer, and easily won her Games as the other tributes didn't see her as a threat, allowing her to wait until other serious threats had been dealt with and then mounting her own attack on the weakened survivors.
This was Seneca Crane 's first year as Head Gamemaker. Effie mentioned that both tributes from District 12 ate like savages and had no sense of etiquette or manners. This angered Katniss, as both were from the Seam and therefore they had never had a decent meal in their lives.
Katniss mentions that Caesar's hair and make-up color was crimson and appeared to be bleeding. In the film, Caesar Flickerman and Claudius Templesmith watch a rerun of these games. The 73rd Hunger Games seemed to be set in a ruined city; Caesar comments that the arena was one of his "favorites. Considering the tributes' outfits this year consisted of an armoured undershirt, this probably meant conventional weapons were not offered in these games since everyone had body protection.
This was Seneca Crane 's second year as Head Gamemaker. Katniss and Peeta were both the victors, the first and only time this happened. This was Seneca Crane's third and last year as Head Gamemaker. For allowing both Katniss and Peeta to win after the threat of a double suicide and thus making the Capitol look weak, Crane was marked for death by President Snow, and was either allowed to commit suicide or hanged. For the 75th Hunger Games, the tributes were reaped out of their district's pool of victors as it was the Third Quarter Quell.
This was Plutarch Heavensbee 's first and only year as Head Gamemaker. Actions for angelicaM3's Summary. So first of all there is this capital and every year a boy and girl are drawn from each community to participate in a games for their life.

Actions for sabita9's Summary. Katniss is a great example of overcoming obstacles in order to take care of her family. She showed courage, kindness, stamina and perseverance in her attempt to do her best. And Peeta sounds like pita, which makes sense considering his profession.
Victors get to live and retire in a village. That might sound great — and certainly an improvement over near certain death. But there are some drawbacks. Collins makes clear that a life of a victor is damaged. Finnick O'dair, a good-looking victor introduced in the second and third books, became tangled in a life of prostitution after the Games, for instance.
If a victor is considered desirable, the president gives them as a reward or allows people to buy them for an exorbitant amount of money. If you refuse, he kills someone you love. So you do it," he says in Mockingjay. Still other victors become addicted to drugs after they win. It's not like the kid killing is for "fun.
The deaths are supposed to shock and disgust readers and viewers. When reviews started arriving for the films, in fact, there was actually a bit of controversy over the lack of violence. Critics like Edelstein argued that the movies didn't show enough violence or the terror of the Games, which ended up dulling Collins's points.
It's possible the movie would have been more effective with an R-rating, which would have allowed more brutal violence. The biggest difference is that the book is written from a first-person perspective and peppered with Katniss's inner monologues.
There are no voiceovers in the movies, which means it's up to Jennifer Lawrence to convey Katniss's confusion, paranoia, and conflicting feelings. The other big change from the books actually surfaced during Lawrence's casting.
The books don't mention Katniss's ethnicity, but hinted that she has olive skin and dark hair. Indeed, Katniss could very well be multiracial. The casting of Lawrence, blonde and blue-eyed, initially caused a furor. But the actress's portrayal of the character has been generally been lauded.
There are a couple. In the movie, there is a four-note whistle that becomes prominent as a signal that everything is okay. As for official songs, Taylor Swift created a moody, somber track called "Safe and Sound" for the first album:. Lorde takes over the reins in Mockingjay , with a more vindictive, booming song called "Yellow Flicker Beat":.
Philip Seymour Hoffman, who played an important supporting character in Catching Fire , died during the filming of the final two movies. Production was halted as producers decided between rewriting the script to change Hoffman's role or creating a CGI image of Hoffman to act out his remaining parts. He had two scenes with dialogue that were left, and we decided we didn't want to try any kind of digital trickery with him, so we rewrote his scenes and gave his dialogue to other actors. So there was one scene from Part 1 and one scene from Part 2 , so we shot both movies back to back.
Katniss Everdeen and everything she stands for —independence, ferocity, kicking ass — are pop culture fixtures. Collins's story about a girl coming into her own and finding her worth ended up inspiring many.
The Hunger Games has also impacted the young adult genre. While there are still books being written with girls and young women who resemble Twilight 's Bella, there are even more characters who resemble Katniss. Look no further than the dystopian young adult Divergent series, or the Beautiful Creatures series.
Both were wildly successful, as was a movie based on the first Divergent book. The success of The Hunger Games also changed the way movie executives thought about young adult and female audiences.
Its huge box office draw shattered the myth that no one would want to see a movie with female leads. But it also had a more immediate effect. After The Hunger Games dominated the box office, a bevy of young adult movie adaptations were greenlit and produced see: Divergent , Beautiful Creatures , City of Bones. After surviving a plane crash, the boys are left to either thrive together or battle for survival amongst one another.
Guess which conquers? Hint: they don't form one giant, happy tribe "Lost" style. Primal instincts of savagery win out any chance of a budding civilization and the children begin killing each other—memorable character Piggy has a boulder thrown on him. How's that for bloody "Battle Royale. We can thank Stephen King 's "The Running Man" which was turned into a film of the same name five years later featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Here's a brief description of the film: "A wrongly-convicted man must try to survive a public execution gauntlet staged as a TV game show. Scrap "wrongly-convicted," and that's exactly what Katniss and Peeta and the school gang from "The Hunger Games" and "Battle Royale" respectively are attempting to do. The one big difference is that in "The Running Man," all of the convicted killers are running for their lives from professional killers.
The unfortunate winner gets stoned to death in front of the village. If anyone begins to step out of line or question the government, they need but one prescription of the hallucinogen "soma" to slip back into oblivion. This is very similar to how the people in "The Hunger Games" Capitol act. For you. World globe An icon of the world globe, indicating different international options.
