May the odds be ever in your favor.
Hands down. Hunger Games is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious amazing. Don't blame me. I watched the film five times this week. When I first read the book, I was honestly gob smacked. It discusses everything I look for in a great story, politics, drama, tragedies, reality, faith and love.
I honestly love Cato. I don't know why some doesn't like him. Maybe because he's too arrogant, and all throughout the book and film. But what can I say. There's an untold story behind him. I loved him even more, than the first time I read the book when his death came. His final counters with Katniss:
"I'm dead anyways."
"I always was, right?"
"Didn't know that till now."
"Is that what you want, huh?"
"Nu-uh!"
"I can still do this."
"I can still do this!"
"One more kill."
That was the best monologue in the book and film for me. Realizing he was already dead before the game even started. His fate was to die. His entire life, he was dead. We pity the children from the poor districts, but they never took a thought about the Careers. All their life, they were born and trained for this. To die. The kids from district 12 maybe poor and weak, but they have lovely parents who love them to death. Meanwhile the Careers have to mask themselves with glory. They lived under a fake label. Cato, he's not bad. And that's why, I'm still weeping. I read the book three years ago, when Cato died...I seriously cried. Until now. Especially when they released the film and it was my OMG crush of all time, Alexander Ludwig who played him, I died with him.
"And I think.........the word he's trying to say is please. Pity, not vengeance, sends my arrow flying into his skull."
That was it. Oh well, you guys now know why Cato is my favorite character. Oh and look:
Seriously dude, this...this part where I went weeping as Cato said those words.
