There are no hunger games in Mockingjay, neither do actions. But surprisingly, it isn't that bad as a movie. At least I didn't fell asleep during the movie, at least I learnt something, that something isn't new, but it is something I've seen for the first time on big screen. It is about how to start a rebellion. So how? You need a Marianne.
Marianne, the symbol of liberty, the symbol of France. She is not a real person, but she is on every single French euro coin, every single French official document, and she is featured on one of the most famous paintings of all time : La Liberté guidant le peuple, by Eugène Delacroix. The author of Hunger Games was partly influenced by the most well known revolution in the history - the French revolution, and Katniss is derived from Marianne.
The political propaganda stuff is nice and all, but comparing to Catching Fire, it is rather underwhelming. Or may be it is because of the stupid trend of dividing the final book into two parts. I sincerely hope that this trend stops soon. After the movie, I just couldn't stand the cliff-hanger. So I checked out the the rest of the plot online. (Spoiler alert) And I knew it! President Coin seemed evil and I was right. She's gonna show her true colour in Part 2.
