Jennifer
Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson hit the big screen again with the sequel Catching Fire, on November 22nd of this year. Catching Fire is the second of the Hunger Games trilogy to hit the big screen. The film picks up a
year after the 74th Hunger Games that Katniss Everdeen and fellow
victor Peeta Mellark begin their victory tour. They begin their Victory Tour
through Panem Katniss receive a visit from President Snow. The Hunger Games
began with a twist because of Peeta’s confession of his feelings for Katniss,
which Snow wants to see happen again.
Upon return to District 12, Snow makes
the announcement of the third Quarter Quell which is held every 25 years From
the moment of the announcement, Katniss devotes herself to keeping Peeta alive
and making sure he survives the Quarter Quell.
Once placed in the arena Peeta and
Katniss become allies with Finnick Odair and Mags from District 4. The arena is
an island setting where the tributes encounter poisonous fog and mandrills and
the fight to overcome dehydration and hunger.
Actress Jennifer Lawrence portrays
Katniss Everdeen accurately with her stubborn but down to earth personality. In
the book, Katniss is very hard headed but knows what she is doing and cares
more about others than herself. Jennifer Lawrence is very much like her
character and gives another great performance in this film.
The film ends with a riveting
cliffhanger so look out for Mockingjay:
Part 1 in Fall 2014 to see where it picks up.
