I am so pumped for Mockingjay Part Two, I am whistling like a Mockingjay daily and ever since I saw the trailer I have gotten more excited (I didn't think that was possible). I have not read the books as I watched the movie first and wanted to finish off that experience. Little SPOILERS ARE COMING for those of you who have not seen any of the franchise. You have been warned!
So I love this franchise as it's great to see a strong woman lead, not just one strong woman might I add there are a few strong female characters be it strong physically, intellectually or emotionally . Usually it's the man who takes on the institution, but not this time. It has never been more important for a woman to head an action franchise because let's face it they have been too few and far between since Sigourney Weaver took on the role of Ripley in the Alien franchise (yes there were some female action leads before this but I haven't seen or heard of these films).
Hollywood have turned down so many stories because they thought that no one will pay to see a woman take on these testosterone filled roles. Hunger Games knocks this theory out the park and has shown that women can take on this role and don't need to play off their sexuality. My fully adult male other half loves the books as well as the movies and he (a huge action fan) isn't put off by a female lead. Yes the Gale or Peeta switching can be a bit tiresome but we need to remember she's a teenager when she goes into the games and an experience like that would change a fully grown adult. Peeta understands what it is like and it's only normal that at points she would gravitate towards him.
I love that in part two we will see the districts all joining forces behind Katniss and her team. They will be marching toward the capital to take on Snow who has put traps everywhere, and it looks like Katniss and her team will be going in to disarm these traps. I think there will be a lot of deaths but I don't necessarily think that in the end she will kill Lord Snow, maybe put him on trial for his crimes against the people of Panem? Maybe I am wrong but I just don't think Katniss is that type of person, although it would be great to see her kill him for all the pain he has put her through. Who knows maybe someone else will do it. But either way it would be great to see and is definitely my most anticipated movie of the fall. Wheres Peeta?
Check out on November 20th to find out if I am right.
