So now that you've finished and can articulate things, is there one moment that stuck out in your head from all three books? The Fin/Mags/Katniss/Peeta alliance was kind of my favorite from all three books. I don't know why, it just was.
One of my favorite scenes is in the first book, when they have their on-screen reunion after returning from the games, and they are kissing and Cesar comes up and taps Peeta on the shoulder and Peeta flicks him away and the crowd goes nuts. I'm not sure why I loved all those scenes with the interviews and the crowds, but I did, and that scene in particular, maybe because it was just a hilarious visual.
I think I could read an entire book of Fin hanging out with Johanna.
I love those scenes as well. I think I enjoy the interviews/crowd stuff because it's like they're putting on a show but also being themselves, and at least for Peeta, who he wants to be with her. I think that's kind of why he does the whole "secret marriage and a baby" because part of him wanted that to have been what happened.
Johanna was awesome. I really enjoyed the antagonistic/begrudging relationship she had with Katniss. Also Finnick being her friend made me smile. Something about them being the young ones, I guess.
That's really insightful! I hadn't thought of it that way, but Cesar has a way of making people seem the best version of themselves, charming and interesting and able to captivate a crowd, and that has to be fun for Peeta, which might be why I always got a kick out of those scenes.
And in the movie, when she sits on the love-seat with him, and her makeup is perfect- I really want to find a video teaching me how to do my makeup like that scene. They look like a pair of dolls; fake, but beloved for what they represent to the people... and her butterfly eyelashes! I have a lot of movie clothing feelings, too.
Yes, to a book of Fin and Johanna! I cannot wait to see who they cast. Already anticipating Catching Fire and probably have 18 months to wait....
When I saw the movie this morning I'd forgotten about that kiss at the end, and Peeta saying Katniss has no idea the effect she has on people. I really wish they'd left those in! Especially the kiss -- would have made the end so much stronger.
