Hunger Games

The scene from the movie that I think is the most important is when Catnis and Peter both hear over the announcing system that if the last two people to survive are from the same district they will both be announced the winners of the 74^th annual Hunger Games. At this point they are both in pretty rough shape, Catnis has no food and has just lost her fellow teammate that she was working with and Peter has a sever sword wound on one of his legs that is beginning to get infected. Neither of them have the energy to fight off any more enemies, so for a while all the remaining people are just hiding out and hoping that the others will die off. Peter is rewarded with some medicine that will help his wounded leg heal overnight. Catnis and Peter decide to camp it out in a cave for the night and hope they can make it another day. The people running the Hunger Games realize no action is happening so they decide to send out a couple of vicious dogs to see if they can kill some of the remaining contestants. They are successful with this, but in the end it wasn’t a very good idea because now Peter and Catnis are trying to fight very hard to be the last two people left in the game. Towards the end they get another announcement saying they were just kidding about the whole thing, they say only one person can be ruled the winner of the 74^th annual Hunger Games. Peter and Catnis are way too close to each other and are not willing to kill one another so what they plan to do is eat some poison berries so that they both die so that there isn’t even a winner. The people in charge recognize what their plan is and decide at the last moment that they are just going to let them both be the winners. This all happens within the last ten minutes of the movie and I find it the most important because it’s where they realize that they really like each other.
