The awakening of Katniss

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2014)

I will not judge the people that dislike the movie, simply because they haven't read the books, and I am sure for that. Mockingjay Part 1 is presented almost perfectly and watching this brought back my feelings, thoughts and all the images I have created in my mind when I had been reading the book. There are no more Games and now we see the aftermath. Katniss is trying to "recover" from her traumas mostly mental and psychological created by the Games. She has become a symbol of rebellion and hope to the people of Panem. They expect almost everything from her and that is what makes things worse for her. She is struggling to, lets say avoid her predetermined role, but deep inside she knows that she cannot. So this movie, Mockingjay Part 1 is all about her awakening, her personal transition to maturity, and the realization of what she has become. This is what matters in the end...for creating the path of the forthcoming Part 2. Jennifer Lawrence is yet again amazing, and we also see Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland giving their true self and high level acting.
