―Catching Fire‖ is a Must See Movie
Number Two is Just as Good

Just like the “Hunger
Games,” “Catching Fire” is
a huge success, earning
over $8 million more than
its predecessor (per Entertainment Weekly) in the
first week alone. It‟s
guaranteed to leave you
on the edge of your seat.
“Catching Fire” follows
Suzanne Collins‟ book
quite well. It takes you
back to District 12, the
home of Katniss and Peeta
as they go on a Victory
Tour throughout the 12

districts of Panem. President Snow (played by
Donald Sutherland) orders
Katniss and Peeta to show
Panem (their country) that
they are in love. He is a
heartless ruler, with a hatred for Katniss after her
acts in the 74th Hunger
Games. Katniss is a defiant symbol to the people
in the districts, and President Snow believes she
has started talk about rebellion of the districts
against Panem. In order to
stop this rebellion, President Snow and head game
maker Plutarch Heavansbee (Philip Seymour Hoff-

man), have to come up
with a plan for the 75th
Quarter Quell Hunger
Games. The victors from
the previous Hunger
Games are now back to
“the Reaping.” Katniss and
Peeta are headed back
into the arena.
In the midst of all this,
there is a love triangle.
Katniss is caught between
her love for Gale (Liam
Hemsworth) and Peeta.
Gale isn‟t on screen a lot
in “Catching Fire,” but is
still a major part of Presidents Snow‟s twisted plot.
