I have enjoyed the presentation of the "Hunger Games" books in the theaters. I went and saw the third installment, which is the first half of the third book. Again it was very entertaining. We are now past the arena, and the sinister game of the capital, and into a real revolution. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is recruited to serve the rebellion as a spokesperson. She finally accepts, and is drawn into the conflict, and is the favorite target of President Snow (Donald Sutherland). Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) is held captive by the capital, and his captivity is a major focus of this film, his torture and his eventual rescue. However, the torture has influenced his mind to the point where he has been brain washed and manipulated, first as the spokesman of the capital, and then as an assassin.
However has Peeta really been turned, because he does get a warning through to the rebels in District 13 that they are due to be bombed. The other person prominent in the movie is Gale (Liam Hemsworth). Gale is Katniss' first love, who has now joined the rebels.
The idea of this movie is very good. It is very tense. The back and forth between Snow and Katniss is very well down, as President Snow tries to break Katniss, by sending white roses, and by manipulating Peeta, and finally by making Peeta into a killing machine.
