The soundtrack is very dynamic in this installment, throughout it the tension is palpable in the various scenes, its musical accompaniment being a key piece for this impact to be possible, in addition, on more than one occasion it is behaved as a versatile section that knows how to adapt to the needs of the film.

The construction of the world is much more interesting than in the previous installment, the technological and dystopian scenario is expanded in an exquisite way to the point that it is possible to elucidate in a much better way the existing repressive arm as well as the capabilities of its science, this leaves a very complete atmosphere that knows how to perfectly transmit what it means to live in an oppressive world and with abominable social inequalities. At the social level there is a clear approach, it is an element that is given a more than necessary approach, through this not only the cruelty and coldness of the leaders is evidenced but also the way in which the population tries to resist in the way they can, this gives that air of suffering and oppression perfect.
La construcción de mundo es mucho más interesante que en la entrega previa, el escenario tecnológico y distópico es ampliado de forma exquisita al punto de que se logra dilucidar de mucha mejor forma el brazo represor existente como las capacidades de su ciencia, esto deja una ambientación muy completa que sabe transmitir de forma perfecta lo que significa vivir en un mundo opresivo y con desigualdades sociales abominables. A nivel social existe un claro enfoque, es un elemento que se le da un enfoque más que necesario, mediante este no solo se pone en evidencia la crueldad y frialdad de los líderes sino también la forma en que la población trata de resistir de la forma que puede, esto da ese aire de sufrimiento y opresión perfecto.

The plot is interesting and knows how to build some of its events in a very good way, from the very beginning, it aims to keep the viewer's attention captivated, either with scenes of cruelty, emotional moments, situations of tension and/or action. Narratively it is curious, the film changes its rhythm at various times, this is done in a subtle way to make its events feel more organic and plausible, although the final twist of this film feels completely out of the sleeve it does not damage the rest of the good work that the film has to its credit, In addition, although it lasts just over 2 hours it is not tedious, it has a good number of various events that make this duration enjoyable.
La trama es interesante y sabe construir algunos de sus acontecimientos de muy buena forma, desde el vamos, se propone el mantener cautivada la atención del espectador, bien sea con escenas de crueldad, momentos emotivos, situaciones de tensión y/o acción. Narrativamente es curiosa, la cinta cambia su ritmo en diversos momentos, esto se hace de forma sutil para que sus acontecimientos se sientan más orgánicos y plausibles, si bien el giro final de este filme se siente completamente sacado de la manga no daña el resto de buen trabajo que tiene la película en su haber, además, pese a que dura poco más de 2 horas la misma no se hace tediosa, tiene una buena cantidad de diversos acontecimientos que hacen que dicha duración sea amena.

The characters are a curious point, if there is one that deserves to be highlighted it is Peeta, from the beginning you can see his growth if you compare him with what was exposed in the first installment, he is a character who truly seems to have a growth both in his actions and in his thinking, in addition, both he and Katniss are given a certain degree of trauma for everything they lived, This is an attempt to give them psychological background that is quite good, the relationship between them is extremely meh, nothing special. The rest of the characters are completely forgettable and inconsequential, this is increased mainly in the villain, it is the second installment and remains a complete unknown, extremely flat and without motivation, the approaches he had did not seek to explore it or anything that resembles him, until times it is only bad because if and that is absolutely bland.
Los personajes son un punto curioso, si hay uno que merece ser destacado es Peeta, desde el vamos se nota su crecimiento si se le compara con lo expuesto en la primera entrega, es un personaje que verdaderamente parece tener un crecimiento tanto en sus acciones como en su pensamiento, además, tanto a él como a Katniss se les da cierto grado de trauma por todo lo que vivieron, esto es un intento por darles trasfondo psicológico que está bastante bien, la relación entre estos es sumamente meh, nada del otro mundo. El resto de personajes son completamente olvidables e intrascendentes, esto se ve acrecentado sobre todo en el villano, es la segunda entrega y sigue siendo un completo desconocido, sumamente plano y sin motivación, los enfoques que tuvo no buscaron explorarlo ni nada que se le asemeje, hasta los momentos solo es malo porque si y eso es absolutamente soso.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a sequel more than chording for everything that happened in the first installment, it knows how to amplify what has already seen in a very good way to the point of giving a more depth layer, which ends up generating interest, however, not everything is perfect, the section of the characters remains weak and with a fairly clumsy and coarse job, improvements are noticed with respect to the prequel but remains in the range of the decent without the possibility of evolving. It is for all the above that deserves 3.5 stars of 7, some sections truly have an improvement but errors are already made, despite everything, it is still a second installment that knows how to maintain interest and generate expectation.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire es una secuela más que acorde para todo lo acontecido en la primera entrega, sabe amplificar lo ya visto de muy buena forma al punto de darle una capa más de profundidad, lo que termina generando interés, no obstante, no todo es perfecto, el apartado de los personajes sigue siendo débil y con un trabajo bastante torpe y tosco, se notan mejorías con respecto a la precuela pero se mantiene en el rango de lo decente sin posibilidades de evolucionar. Es por todo lo anterior que merece 3.5 estrellas de 7, algunos apartados verdaderamente tienen una mejoría pero se mantienen errores ya cometidos, pese a todo, sigue siendo una segunda entrega que sabe mantener el interés y generar expectativa.

Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie tilted The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and I would like to share with you here.
The movie is about when Katniss is advised by President Snow to participate in a special edition of the Hunger Games that will feature all its previous winners, to eliminate her, due to her influential nature.
The movie begins, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark have settled into a life of material comfort and emotional unease back in District 12 following their joint victory in the 74th Hunger Games.
Katniss was traumatized by the Games and remains emotionally distant from Peeta.
President Snow visits Katniss and reveals that her defiance in the Games has inspired revolts across Panem.
To suppress the rebellion, he demands that she and Peeta feign love during the Victory Tour, threatening to destroy District 12 and kill their families if they refuse.
During their Victory Tour, Katniss and Peeta's speeches only lead to further unrest across the districts.
The two publicly announce their engagement in an attempt to persuade Panem's citizens of their love.
However, President Snow and the districts remain unconvinced. At the Capitol, Katniss meets the mysterious new head Gamemaker, Plutarch Heavensbee.
Upon returning home, Katniss witnesses the brutality of the Capitol's Peacekeepers.
Gale is publicly whipped for trying to intervene in their beating of civilians, leading to a violent confrontation that results in Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch's involvement.
The 75th Hunger Games, also known as the third Quarter Quell, is announced with a twist: tributes are to be selected from the existing pool of victors.
As the only living female victor from District 12, Katniss is forced to compete in the Games, with Peeta volunteering to join her.
In a previous attempt to halt the Games, Peeta announces during his pre-Games interview that he and Katniss had already married and are expecting a child, leading to a further outcry by the Capitol's citizens.
As ordered by Snow, Katniss wears a wedding dress for her interview, but Cinna, her stylist, designs it to shift into a Mockingjay symbol.
Just before Katniss enters the arena, Cinna is brutally beaten in front of her and later killed for altering the dress.
In the Games, Katniss and Peeta form an alliance with Finnick Odair and the elderly Mags from District 4.
They encounter a deadly poisonous fog at night; Mags sacrifices herself, so the others can escape.
The group also fights a pack of genetically mutated mandrills, during which the female tribute from District 6 sacrifices herself to save Peeta.
Fleeing to the beach, the group unites with Beetee and Wiress from District 3, and Johanna Mason, the female tribute from District 7.
Wiress discovers that the arena is designed like a clock, with dangers recurring at set intervals.
The Careers suddenly ambush the group. Katniss and Johanna kill Gloss and Cashmere, but Wiress is also killed in the encounter.
Find out what happened next after the group is suddenly ambushed by the Careers as the movie gets more interesting.

Good tv-series or a sequel of good movies are the best things to keep me hooked on them one after another. Lemme elaborate, on individual films, maybe a good one has a runtime of max 3 hours, not more than that, after that, it's done, maybe the feelings last long but that's an end, right? But for tv-series or movies with sequels/prequels try to satisfy a little more for those special feelings to have more. I know these two end at a certain point but I love to get hooked one after another.
So after the first one, I completed watching the second installment of The Hunger Games, titled as Catching Fire, it's a sequel to that. This one is directed by Francis Lawrence.
In the first one, we had seen how Katniss and Peeta came out as winners whereas there should have been just one winner. Their act of love, courage, and her wit made that possible. We had also got a smell that the Capitol didn't like that thing, they had anticipated something and the results are in this sequel.
From the very beginning, we have seen why these games were introduced, to keep them under their rule, to remind them about their slavery, and to minimize any kind of revolution against the Capitol. Every year, those 12 districts pay tribute and now after the 74th one, they seem to hope again for a change. They are seeing Katniss as their hope for a change, just like she made a change for the first time to bring out Peeta alive with her. People are showing signs to protest, showing the instincts for another revolution and the center of power is not unaware of these too. They wanted to terminate her but somehow came up with an idea to show the whole country that even the victors so far aren't above their rule.
For the 75th one, as the 3rd Quarter Quell, they announced a special one where only the victors from the previous years will be elected to volunteer for The Hunger Games. Again, from district 12 Katniss and Peeta, last time their act of love and threat to sacrifice both saved them, what now? The Capitol knows her risk, their sole motive was to terminate her, so inside the game how they are going to survive is the question to search for answers. And you know, it wasn't going to be an easy one, just think that there are all the winners, all of them have survived this game of death and Katniss is already unwanted by the authorities.
Even in this part, I liked how they arranged the whole part not just by showing the game scenes. Story-telling, things that are working along, reactions, conspiracy, emotions, and so on. And yes, a spoiler, the ending is not as expected but satisfactory, hehe. This one gave a massive hint for upcoming chaos in the next one. Yeap, I am too excited for the next one, see you then, happy watching!

Hello, living beings! I recently had insomnia and decided to watch a movie that I had already seen, but I hadn't decided which one, this movie was the first one that came out and I couldn't be more grateful that it did, this movie years ago I loved it and despite the years it still has the same effect on me, maybe more than before, and that just confirms again how excellent movie it is.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one of the best movie adaptations made based on books, really, and someone who has read the book and seen the movie can't say otherwise, everything, everything, well, almost everything is perfect and I cried again, I laughed again, and I felt ecstatic again for everything I was watching, no matter that I have seen the movie five times before.
Katniss and Peeta were the winners of the 74th Hunger Games and now they are trying to live, or better said, to keep surviving the games, but now outside the arena, and in ways, they didn't think possible, at least that is until they select the tributes for the Quarter Quell, and since it is a special year, it has special rules, and this time the tributes are going to be chosen from the winners of the past games.
¡Hola, seres vivos! Hace poco tenía insomnio y decidí ver una película que ya había visto, pero no había decidido cuál, esta película fue la primera que salió a la luz y no pude estar más agradecido de que así fuera, esta película hace años me encantó y a pesar de los años sigue teniendo el mismo efecto en mí, quizás más que antes, y eso tan solo me confirma de nuevo lo excelente película que es.
Los Juegos del Hambre: En Llamas es una de las mejores adaptaciones cinematográficas hechas basadas en libros, la verdad, y alguien que haya leído el libro y visto la película no puede decir lo contrario, todo, todo, bueno, casi todo es perfecto y volví a llorar, volví a reír, y volví a sentirme extasiado por todo lo que estaba viendo, sin importar que haya visto la película cinco veces antes.
Katniss y Peeta fueron los ganadores de Los Juegos del Hambre número 74 y ahora tratan de vivir, o mejor dicho, de seguir sobreviviendo a los juegos, pero ahora fuera de la arena, y de formas en las que no creían posibles, al menos es así hasta que seleccionan a los tributos para el Quarter Quell, y como es un año especial, tiene reglas especiales, y en esta ocación los tributos van a ser elegidos entre los ganadores de los juegos pasados.
And that's as far as I will talk about the movie because then I can tell you absolutely everything and that's not the idea, I will only talk about what I felt, and it was a lot, too much, and I can't even have all the words to say it. This dystopia is more real than many of us believe, or may want, or understand, nothing more real and actual than dictatorships selling a divine unreality to a few, while the rest live the hellish reality that you just wait for it to end, but you don't know when it will happen, or if even that moment will come.
Beyond all the reality that is lived, and that we see in the film, I love how much we can study the human (dis)nature that we are shown, from people who induce vomiting to be able to continue eating all the delicacies that are at a party, to those who are so bored of their own existence that in order to have fun, they let and allow teenagers to kill each other just to have something entertaining to watch and not to be watching the dark sky without stars.
Katniss is hated and loved almost equally for many reasons, but I won't talk about that, I still cry when I see her desperate after Peeta dies and Finnick does everything he can to revive him and succeeds only to see them give each other the most emotional drool-filled kiss in the story, and just to see Finnick realizing that Katniss really loves Peeta, but without her knowing it herself, those little details so well demonstrated are still a marvel to me, because it's one thing to read it and another to watch it, and that it's all so fitting is amazing, being only a teen book trilogy, you don't always expect something amazing, but this is just sublime and the beautiful thing is that it doesn't deteriorate with the time that passes.
Y hasta ahí hablaré de la película porque entonces les puedo contar absolutamente todo y no es la idea, solo les voy a hablar de lo que sentí, y fue mucho, demasiado, y ni siquiera puedo tener todas las palabras para decirlo. Esta distopía es más real de lo que muchos de nosotros creemos o podemos querer, o que entendamos, nada más real y actual que dictaduras vendiendo una irrealidad divina a pocos, mientras el resto vive la realidad infernal que solo se espera que termine, pero no se sabe cuándo va a suceder, o si aunque sea ese momento llegará.
Más allá de toda la realidad que se vive, y que vemos en la película, me encanta lo mucho que se puede estudiar la (des)naturaleza humana que nos muestran, desde personas que se inducen el vómito para poder seguir comiendo todos los manjares que hay en una fiesta, hasta aquellos que están tan aburridos de sus propias existencias que con tal de divertirse, dejan y permiten que adolescentes se maten entre ellos solo para tener algo entretenido que ver y no estar viendo el cielo oscuro sin estrellas.
Katniss es odiada y amada casi a partes iguales por muchas razones, pero no hablaré de eso, aún sigo llorando cuando la veo desesperada despúes de que Peeta muere y Finnick hace todo lo posible para revivirlo, y lo logra solo para ver cómo ellos se dan el beso lleno de baba más emotivo de la historia, y simplemente ver a Finnick dándose cuenta de que Katniss de verdad ama a Peeta, pero sin que ella misma lo supiera, esos pequeños detalles tan bien demostrados siguen siendo una maravilla para mí, pues una cosa es leerlo y otra es verlo, y que todo sea tan adecuada es increíble, pues al ser solo una trilogía de libros adolescentes, no siempre se espera algo increíble, pero esto es simplemente sublimo y lo hermoso es que no se deteriora con el tiempo que pasa.
My insomniac that day thanked me for watching this movie, for making him remember that everything bad can have an end, or its end can have a beginning with any small action or the accumulation of many small actions and that most of the times we don't even realize or notice, because we are not omniscient beings and we cannot understand where all these small actions are going to end up, and it is just one of the small things it teaches us.
Of the four movies, this is my favorite, although the last parts are just as good and even better because more things are added, the plot gets more complicated than it already was and the introduction of things that before we didn't even think existed but we know they were possible because everything goes in context perfectly.
I leave you the trailer, but don't watch it if you haven't seen the first movie, or even read the books, but who knows, maybe watching the trailer or reading this review will make you read the books and watch the movies, although it's more likely not. Anyway, no one knows how much I love that movie, being my favorite, but I do know that many have the same or maybe even more intensity than I do.
Mi insomnío ese día me agradecío que viera esta película, que le hiciera recordar que todo lo malo puede tener final, o su final puede tener comienzo con cualquier pequeña acción o el cúmulo de muchas pequeñas acciones y que la mayoría de las veces ni siquiera nos damos cuenta o notamos, porque no somos seres omnicientes y no podemos entender hacia donde todas estas pequeñas acciones van a terminar, y es tan solo una de la pequeñas cosas que nos enseña.
De las cuatro películas, esta es mi favorita, aunque las últimas partes son igual de buenas e incluso mejores, porque más cosas se añaden, la trama se complica más de lo que ya estaba y la introducción de cosas que antes ni siquiera llegamos a pensar que existieram pero sabemos que eran posibles porque todo entra en contexto perfectamente.
Les dejo el trailer, pero no lo vean si no han visto la primera pelicula, o si quiera haber leído los libros, pero quién sabe, quizás ver el trailer o leer esta reseña les haga leer los libros y ver las películas, aunque es más probable que no sea así. En fin, nadie sabe lo mucho que amo esa película, siendo mi favorita, pero sí sé que muchos tienen la misma intensidad o quizás mayor que yo.
