I begin to fully understand the lengths to which people have gone to protect me. What I mean to the rebels. My on going struggle against the Capitol, which has so often felt like a solitary journey, has not been undertaken alone. I have had thousands upon thousands of people from the districts at my side. I was their Mockingjay long before I accepted the role.
Suzanne CollinsDirector Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he's also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building's fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol.
Suzanne CollinsPeeta, how come I never know when you're having a nightmare?โ I say. โI don't know. I don't think I cry out or thrash around or anything. I just come to, paralyzed with terror,โ he says. โYou should wake me,โ I say, thinking about how I can interrupt his sleep two or three times on a bad night. About how long it can take to calm me down. โIt's not necessary. My nightmares are usually about losing you,โ he says. โI'm okay once I realize you're here.
