He features Tom Blythe as 18 -year -old Coriolanus Snow (played by the late Donald Sutherland in the first four films), the future dictator – Uh, “President” – of the Panem Nation.
Sixty-four years before the events of the first Hunger games Episode, Snow is an academic student living in a panem torn by the war during the 10th annual hunger games. He is assigned to the female tribute to the mentor district 12, the magnetic charmer of snakes Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler). In the midst of the growing disorders of the nation, the two develop feelings for each other and count with the hard truth that “fortunately forever” and “dystopia” do not go exactly.
Francis Lawrence, who directed the last three films of the original series, returned for this prequel. The result was somewhat dividing, although the performances of Blythe and Zegler aroused praise.

The explosive continuation sees a traumatized Katniss and Peeta to resume “normal” life in the District 12 after the 74th games. President Snow, faced with growing troubles across the country following the joint victory of the pair, demands that Katniss and Peeta claim to be in love during their victory tour to discourage the rebellions.
This false trope of meetings may seem cute at the start, but things quickly take a horrible turn when it is announced that the 75th games will detach from tradition and shoot competitors from the swimming pool of past winners. Seeing that Katniss is the only winner in the District 12, she is again forced to participate in the Games, joined by Peeta and a new group of opponents. So much to take a break.
Take fire Presents several new members of the distribution: Sam Claflin as Finnick, the youngest winner in the history of the games; Philip Seymour Hoffman like Plutarch Heavensbee, the new game of play secretly in the league with the rebellion; And Lynn Cohen as magazines, another former winner of decades earlier, now in the 80s and back to The Hunger Games Spotlight.

The last chronological entry of the series takes a page of DuskPlaybook divides the last book into two parts. District 12 was decimated, forcing Katniss, Beetee (Jeffrey Wright) and Finnick to take refuge in the rebel underground district, District 13.
In the district 13, Katniss meets Alma Coin (Julianne Moore), the head of the rebellion. She told Katniss that her actions have triggered mass riots through Panem, which led President Snow to bomb the District 12. When Katniss asks Katniss to become a symbol of the rebellion (aka the “mockingjay”), it is initially hesitant, but ultimately agrees after having realized that the state tries to manipulate Peeta in the rebellian efforts.
While the rebellion plays a more central role in the story of the franchise, we meet several new characters involved in the effort – including Mahershala Ali as a corner deputy and Natalie Dormer, freshly out of her Game of Thrones Breakthrough, as a warned media, wisely taking its cinematographic skills on the ground. Robert Knepper is also presented as the villain Antonius, an original character who does not appear in books.

The last chapter of the original trilogy (finally, tetralogy) could be the most exhilarating, not wasting time before spending directly to action. The film resumes right after a brainwashing peeta tried to kill Katniss in the end of Part 1. It is enough to say that the issues have never been higher. Determined to release Panem, Katniss and his rebel colleagues embark on a dangerous journey into the heart of the Capitol to save once and for all the tyranny nation of President Snow.
Mockingjay – Part 2 Drew of generally positive criticisms, obtaining praise for its action sequences and its powerful conclusion, as well as for the performance of Lawrence. However, the division of the novel into two films also attracted the achievements of fans and criticism, a decision that director Francis Lawrence later admitted that he regrets.
The film finally failed in box office expectations, increasing about $ 650 million worldwide. Although this number is nothing to sneeze, it was the lowest in the original series in four parts.
