When I saw this trailer for the first time, I got all emotional.
It struck a major chord.
Especially that scene. The one where Prim’s name is picked.
All of a sudden, she’s destined to go to the arena and fight to the death.
And we see this little girl – this skinny little bit of a girl – and we know she doesn’t stand a chance. She’s not strong enough. She’s going to die.
Then comes that emotionally charged moment.
When Katniss, Prim’s older sister, screams, “I volunteer!”
You see, somebody has to go. A tribute is required. Prim is destined.
But Katniss takes her place.
And all of a sudden, there is hope. Because while Prim was weak and didn’t stand a chance. Katniss is strong. We know she could win.
Katniss takes Prim’s place.
Katniss sacrifices herself so Prim can live.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else?
Let’s Talk: Have you watched or read The Hunger Games? Does that scene make you as emotional as it makes me?
