If you've seen "the Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2," you probably agree when I say that it was a great movie. As a fan of the Hunger Games, as well as a reader of the novels, I was pleased as I watched the final movie of the saga. I thought they did a really good job of following the novel and captivating the entire audience in the theater.
The acting - as usual, great.
The special effects - as usual, great.
The amount of bombs and shootings and killings - going strong.
The torturous love triangle between Katniss, Gale, and Peeta - torturous as ever.
The overall plot - solid.
All in all, the movie was suspenseful and heart-breaking, as it should be.
So how would you describe the Hunger Games? It's genre is adventure fantasy/science fiction, right? Sure, Katniss can make some snarky, sarcastic comments that earn a chuckle out of the audience but it's not a comedy, right? So why is it that a good amount of the audience, including myself, was laughing hysterically during the final few moments of the movie?
It's because she has an Asian baby.
Katniss and Peeta, who are both white and have a white son, have an asian baby girl.
Honestly I don't understand why or how she has an asian baby.
Maybe they couldn't find a white baby.
Maybe they were hoping we didn't have eyes and couldn't tell the difference.
Maybe someone thought Katniss and Peeta were asian.
Maybe they know something we don't know and white people will be able to have asian babies after the apocalypse.
I'm not sure.
But I think we can all agree that it was a great movie, the best part being when Katniss was holding her asian baby at the end.
