Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015) by Firstevil87 — 22 Nov 2015
A faithful adaptation of the book, mockingjay pt2 can be very divisive and lead to polarizing opinions.
It is the story of Katniss, the girl who has sworn revenge to the oppressive Tyrant for having destroyed her life.
It is a story of 2 opposing political factions, who use tv and propaganda to spread consensus.
We, as the audience, see the world through Katniss' eyes, and we feel the struggle and get confused understanding if the girl of fire actually exists or it is just a perfect marketing product.
The key word here is "live-tv show", while in the earlier installments war, pain and death were seen as a "cruel reality show", here the struggle is real, the audience is experiencing loss and deprivation on their own skin and not through camera lens.
Action set pieces are great not because of the spectacle, but because of the emotional burden they carry.
We feel every loss, we hold our breath at every step because danger might be near.
Dialogue is intense too, of course the best lines are delivered when President Snow and Katniss have a lovely chat.
Action and dialogue lead to a very intense climax where every actor shines.
The ending has seen as disappointing because it doesn't feel rewarding.
My personal view is that the ending is good the way it is, it deals with the aftermath of war, how it affects you when your life goes back to normal.
In the end, this is a movie for both fans of the book and newcomers, you will either love it or hate it, but I doubt it will leave the audience indifferent.
