The long awaited final film, Mockingjay Part 2, of the four part movie series debuted on Nov. 16. The series was based off of the books written by Suzanne Collins. The final book of the series is titled Mockingjay. The movie creators decided to prolong the movie interpretations into four films.

In the first part of the Mockingjay movies, the ending shows the people of Panem being told by President Coin that they will create a new Panem and conquer the Capitol. Katniss is shown looking at Peeta behind glass rescued from the Capitol where he had been brainwashed.

The second part starts with Katniss’ throat being treated and Peeta was still strapped down in a room. He was recovering from his brainwashing.

A simple and somewhat predictable journey takes place through the course of the final movie. Katniss goes to Coin and she wants to kill President Snow of the Capitol because as long he’s alive death and destruction would never end. Coin only wants to use her in propaganda to get the rebels from all districts to unit against the Capitol, but she sneaks onto cargo delivery to a district close to the Capitol and meets up with an elite team which assists her in the takeover of the Capitol. There was logical progression of their journey to the Capitol but sometimes the action dragged on and the movie becomes sleepy and slow, but the focus was clear.

The scenery was detailed and was mostly set in the Capitol. The Capitol was a large city containing big buildings. The editing in the film was also very detailed. For example, the elite squad met many new people who had very detailed features, like Tigris who is a human who looks like a female tiger because President Snow didn’t think she was pretty enough and transformed her.

A challenge that the elite faced were booby traps which the movie calls pods. The pods added a lot of special effect and interest to the movie. They also added a surprising quality because the viewer never knew when a pod would go off.

The dialogue was quiet with a lot of up close discussion. The dialogue between Peeta and Katniss was conflicting. There was also Gale who was competing with Peeta for Katniss’ heart which added some conflict. The most memorable dialogue however is the times when Peeta says, “real or not real.” Peeta used this to help him regain memory of what was happening around him so he could escape the brainwashing done to him by the Capitol.

From the beginning it was predictable the outcome of the film, which was the Capitol being destroyed by the rebels. Coin dropped bombs on the Capitol to help the rebels gain access to the President’s Mansion and defeat Snow. The people thought that Snow was the responsible party killing children and other subjects by dropping bombs. This caused a rebellion and some of the residents of the Capitol joined in to help the elite rebels. They end up capturing Snow and taking him to a greenhouse. Snow tells Katniss that Coin sent the bombs which triggered Katniss’ anger and Coin had become a violent leader. Katniss then kills Coin and the mob of furious people because of killing Coin run to Snow and maim him as well.

The statement “real or not real” also reveals the deeper theme that the viewer should ask themselves, “Is Coin a real leader with good intentions for all people of Panem or not?”
