Gay people will develop mental issues and make AT LEAST one of these movies their whole personality

[starrrbakerrr]

I’ve noticed that Tumblr is the only platform that widely acknowledges the fact that Katniss, Gale, and Haymitch were severely whitewashed in the films. On Twitter I’ve seen people get downright offended at the mention of Katniss being Indigenous, mixed, or simply non-white. I’ve seen people say that people with olive skin can be white and yes that’s true, but Jennifer Lawrence does not have olive skin which still makes her casting inaccurate.

I think this is because Twitter and TikTok focuses on videos, images, and short blurbs of writing - which caters to the movies. It’s the only visual representation of the books outside of fanart. Tumblr allows users to write long think pieces and the books are the primary reference instead of the movies. I’ve only seen the books mentioned outside of Tumblr when talking about Peeta’s characterization and missing lines in the movies. BookTok has also opened discussion of Katniss being non-white but otherwise non-white Katniss is generally not well received outside of Tumblr. Even fanart of Katniss with darker skin isn’t regularly distributed outside of Tumblr.

It’s disheartening but unsurprising. I mean, back when the first movie was released people were outraged that Rue was Black even though it was explicitly referenced multiple times. I just remember being in middle school and obsessed with the books and so excited when the movies were announced, and I was really disappointed with the casting of Katniss because I always imagined her as non-white like myself. Katniss is also supposed to be short and small in stature so that was difficult for me to grasp but I’m glad Jennifer didn’t pressure herself to lose weight for the role (she mentioned this in an interview). I think Jennifer and Woody did great in their roles, and Liam did good with what he was given, but I don’t see them as Katniss, Haymitch and Gale when reading the books or fanfiction. I remember Suzanne saying in an interview that the Katniss she imagines doesn’t exist, but Jennifer is close enough. I’m really curious to know how she imagines Katniss beyond the general descriptors of olive skin, dark hair, and grey eyes.

I’m also genuinely glad that Rachel Zegler is playing Lucy Gray Baird. She has tanner skin, which is great. However, the unfortunate reality is that she’s still “white enough” to be palatable to a white audience.

I hate hate hate celebrities who lie about having had work done! 😡

As someone who's educated on this topic, it is VERY easy to see which celebrities have had certain procedures done (i.e. filler, Botox, facelifts, lids, rhinoplasty, etc.)

**😒looking at you, Ms. Kate "I haven't had anything done" Beckinsale (Botox, filler, brow lift, rhino), and Ms. Cindy "Buy my magic melon face cream" Crawford (brow lift, lower bleph, neck lift and/or full facelift, Botox, filler)**

They only get away with their bold faced lies because people don't know what to look for.

Example: THIS is an upper blepharoplasty procedure (upper lid lift) on me.

It creates more upper eyelid space, taking the lids from more hooded, to more open. It is done under twilight sedation, in about 30 minutes.

TONS of celebrities have had this done. The most ridiculously obvious are:

Taylor Swift

Jennifer Lawrence

Hailey Bieber

Kendall and Kylie Jenner

Blake Lively

Margot Robbie

Ariana Grande

I could go on and on, but the moral of the story is: if a celebrity is looking different and claiming having had nothing done, chances of that being true are less than 5%. And if they're admitting to one or two things (Bella Hadid, Megan Fox), they've almost certainly had more than they're admitting.

To be clear: I ADORE PLASTIC SURGERY. I just abhor people lying about it and pretending they didn't pay the big bucks for their looks. It's not fair to make people think this is how humans naturally look.

Everlark on movies

or why I just can't hate the movies - Part 1

This post will be polemic, and I am sure everyone will disagree, but I came here to defend romance aspect on the movies.

But first, some important points:

-I do agree the books were totally better while the movies failed in insert romance organically in the storytelling.

-And yes, everlark community is right in be pissed of with the director. He really didn't get the purpose of Peeta and Katniss relationship and that's shows.

-The producers forced the Team Gale and Team Peeta thing to increase the engagement. More Gale and Katniss were their crimes.

That said, what I strongly disagree are following accusations:

-"The movies are Everthorne propaganda and made that ship more popular than the canon one."

-"Peeta and Katniss didn't have chemistry on the movies."

-"On the movies, Katniss was actually in love with Gale, Peeta was rebound."

So this post will cover this fist accusation.

The changes for the love triangule

First movie did insert hits about Gale have a crush on Katniss (the book made this too, but it was implied). In movies Gale is a decent friend (he was there with Prim wait for her, alike on canon), so he is shippable and this create a interesting conflict on the audience, cause her looks like a good match, right?

But then there is Peeta. This guy that happened to be genuinely kind, and was willing to let Katniss win. And in script was implied he did knows it was an act whole time. So in the end of story feels like the audience is strongly divided between two good men, adding the political mess, we do have an exciting cliffhanger.

Then second movies happens and all doubts go away! Again edition cut iconic lines from Peeta, but Josh killed it in all his scenes. Peeta's essential kindness was well portrayed, in my opinion, and made audience really care for him.

It was criminal that they didn't delve deeper into the everlark bed scenes and add new everthorne scenes (that no one asked for), but rewatching it I didn't see much emotions on those kisses (and thanks Liam for having the expressiveness of a door).

In the other hand, the everlark scenes during the games were EVERYTHING! All the drama that was missing in the first film came in full force in the second! The force field scene is so much more theatrical!

And they made the beach kiss sweeter (and personally I love how heartwarming the scene was). I do remember applauding in theater (so... no chemistry my ass)

In short, my reading of the film is that Peeta is not just a cute and passionate friend who Katniss is afraid of hurting by rejecting him. She's falling in love with him. The desperation, the devotion, all of this is perfectly translated in Jennefer's performance. I seriously don't get how someone can see their interactions on arena and think he is the third wheel (and thank you director for don't include Gale's sad face to ruin the moment here).

Feral and in love (overdramatic? overreacted? Yes, but it follows the intensity of Katniss in canon). Will historians say that she is acting like this because of a friend?

Then the two last movies. They finally allowed show Gale being a asshole (I liked that change with calling Peeta a coward, they cut Gale's bullshit in Catching Fire, they had to put in some place). We still have to endure some Gale and Katniss scenes, but again, their ton are pale (basic soundtrack, no creative angles).

But what continues selling the ship is the adversity, the longing. Wherever Peeta appears Katniss just sees him! Gale stay on background or the camera forget him, he is just a desperate man looking at an amazing couple.

You are excellent door Liam!

And all angst, the forbidden love thing make people root even more for Everlark! So no! The movies didnt' sell Everthone or this attempt backfired (or if you disagree, at least see Jennefer isn't on board).

In conclusion, yes the movies made little for the ship, but this little was enough to introduce people to this amazing franchise. The details, the performing, soundtrack, edition all came together to the tip of the iceberg of everlark.

something i’ve been thinking about a lot lately is this idea that art needs to have some kind of moral lesson in order to be enjoyed. and that the message behind art should be positive or else it’s doing some kind of harm to the person engaging with it. art does not owe you anything. movies do not owe you anything. it’s your choice to watch them. take what you will from it. if it’s nothing, then it’s nothing.

what got me thinking of this specifically is the new jennifer lawrence movie “no hard feelings.” the trailer dropped and generally, people seem to be excited to see this. they just want to have fun at the movies. and that’s definitely the purpose of the film. the film is actually based on a real craig’s list ad that is... absurd. the fact that the ad exists is the joke itself. so that’s why there’s a movie about it. bc! it’s crazy. like, these parents are willing to give a woman a car to date their 19 year old son. what?? who does that.

but the outrage is like, oh my god he’s a teenager he’s a child! this is grooming this is abuse! first of all, 19 is a legal adult. second of all, the film isn’t like, endorsing this. the film is acknowledging that it’s weird by simply... existing. like, these parents are so wacky can you believe they did this??

and then there’s asexuals who feel offended bc they’re like “oh their son is CLEARLY ace just let people be ace!!!” and also “their son is autistic look at how socially awkward he is this is wrong!!!” how do they even know any of this based on a 2 minute trailer? they’re just jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about this character who is based on a real life person who we also know nothing about. we don’t know how accurate the film is. we literally know close to nothing. we saw a 2 minute trailer. that’s all. and these people who are outraged are ATTACKING people for laughing at the trailer and actually wanting to see the movie bc it looks fun to them.

anyway, sorry for that tangent but basically movies do not owe you anything they do not owe you a moral lesson they do not have to be objectively pure to exist art is an expression and people make movies and write books for a myriad of reasons and those reasons do not have to be good.

there’s something to be said about celebrities that have performed as protagonists in dystopian films or media that were fighting against genocide/ethnic cleansing/fascism and them choosing to support israel

like, there’s something intrinsically revealing of hollywood, western society, etc. when it’s boiled down

jennifer lawrence & liam hemsworth

“He actually taught me how to be fair and to stand up for myself. It's my biggest weakness: negotiating. I'm a wimp about standing up for myself and Liam is always fair. He's always on time, he's always doing his job, and he's good about making sure that things stay fair. He's teaching me to toughen up a little bit. That was important. I need that.” — Jennifer Lawrence, on what she loves about Liam Hemsworth.
