In the final book of the Hunger Games series, Katniss starts out in bad shape. It’s not her safety but that of Peeta that has her curled up in the fetal position, and the reader right beside her feeling her pain. However, Jennifer Lawrence has portrayed a stronger Katniss throughout the series. Many of the moments of childish vulnerability are gone. Instead of a book where things go seriously wrong, the movie feels as if it’s purposefully heading to the end of the two and a half hours.
However, this is a fair portrayal since Katniss’s moments of weaknesses are far and few between her strength, stubbornness and determined naivete, and much harder to squeeze in to a single movie. But it all changes for Katniss in the final one—she goes to weak, broken, and mentally deteriorate. The question is, will Lawrence be able to pull this off. And moreover, is that what the movie will aim for? The cast of Hunger Games says yes.
Katniss is no Bella Swan or even Hermione Granger. Instead of taking on a more feminine female role, Katniss is like Ripley from the horror survival movie Alien. Ripley and Katniss both embody real female power.
So what do you want? DO you want the stronger, empowered Katniss to carry through to Mockingjay and help overcome Katniss’s emotional crisis. Or do you want, like the director and cast promises, the perfectly accurate portrayal in what will be a five hour production for the final book of the series? For her part, Lawrence says
You should keep Katniss because she’s the best and you can’t put a new one in now she’s perfect please let her play she already played in hunger games and catching fire please please let her play…….at the END
Exactly 🙂
i agree i definitely wouldn’t watch the last movie if Jen wasn’t there!
I will die if Jen doesn’t play her! She has to. I WILL NOT WATCH MOCKINGJAY IF JENNIFERLAWRENCE DOESN’T PLAY HER! SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN AND THE OTHERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT-THIS CAN’T HAPPEN! LETS WAIT FOR HER TO BEDONE FILMING XMEN IF WE HAVE TO! OK? WAIT! ITS UR IMPATIENCE THAT IS MAKING THIS HAPPEN! HAVESOME darn pattience! Even if it means we haveto wait
me to
I completely agree, when I watched the trailer of mockingjay it was a different katniss and different peeta a different gale and I swear I cried, jenn has played katniss in the last two movies and must okay the third, if she doesn’t i will not watch it and I will rate the movie 1 star, it’s not fair, jenn has to play it even if we have to wait
I want Jennifer Lawrence to play Katniss in the Mockingjay as I have got used to her playing the part and also because she is an amazing actress.
Jennifer Lawrence has to play Katniss as I think that if someone else plays her it will be odd as we have got used to seeing Jennifers face in it and it would just be strange to see someone else playing Katniss. Jennifer is also perfect at playing Katinss and she should pull out of playing in the Xmen as the Hunger Games is more important!!!
