"The Hanging Tree" a Hunger Games: Mockingjay edit

Will definitely have to check this out, and express my thoughts.  I still intend to do a trilogy edit of the 4 hunger games movies (though not a strict HG-CF-MJ purist structure), of which I'll probably start back to work on this summer, so I'm interested to see how you've managed to cut down Mockingjay.

I honestly haven't had the time to figure out what I want to do with Mockinjay pt 1 and 2, unlike me being pretty set in my ideas for the first two films.

Your cut list certainly looks promising.
 
Can't wait to watch it. High hopes after your Matrix edit, and there's much better material to work with on this one.

PM the editor or the people from wherever you downloaded. Do not discuss downloads in the forum.
 
Finally a watchable version of these movies. Not the fanedits, just a movie in general. Hollywood should takes some cues from the faneditors. Thanks for this title and for your work

If you're not logged in on IFDB trying logging out of the forum and then log back in and then go to IFDB. You should logged in. If not you need to "reset" your password. Go to your UserCP and enter a password (same one is fine) and that should fix the problem. You'll only need to do this once. This needs to be done to get your password in the IFDB database of its not there already.
 
thanks...heard too much bad stuff about the 2-part ending to actuall watch the dvds lol
looking forward to checking this out :)
 
thanks for all the hard work jerick! really loved this edit!
 
[font=Raleway, sans-serif][font=Raleway, sans-serif]Wait, why did you take out the entirety of the taking of district 2? That's a huge turning point in the war. I could understand taking out half the bombing of 13 and the entire rescue mission (as it wasn't in the book), but you just completely removed district 2! I don't think I'm enjoying this as much as I was before. :s [/font]

I never enjoyed the books enough to read them, they were always a bit juvenile for me, so I admit that this isn't a book edit. I do believe however that this is the best presentation of these two movies as a single narrative.

I'd be happy to discuss with you what you thought was lacking in the movie due to the complete removal of District 2. My arguments for removing the scenes are these:

The largest impact of the District 2 scenes on the film is the injury to Katniss at the hands of a Capitol fanatic and the resulting emboldening of the rebels as a result. The exact same description can be given to what happens when Peeta attacks Katniss after being brainwashed by the Capitol, so it works as a very simple replacement.

The other important exposition that happens during this sequence is the revelation that the District 13 army will do whatever it takes, however unethical, to bring down the Capitol. While this is an interesting development in the movie, I think it is much more powerful to leave this revelation to the very end so that at first you really question whether Coin bombed the Capitol children.

You say that District 2 is an important turning point in the war, and maybe it is in the book I honestly can't say, but it does not play out that way in the movies. There are no scenes in the movies that follow the district rebels and how their motivations develop, the movies focus almost entirely on how they respond to the propaganda that is being released about Katniss. Therefore her survival of the bullet wound and subsequent actions are no more powerful in the movie than her survival of the attack by Peeta.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts especially after watching it a second time taking the edit under its own merits and not with expectations of the scenes you remember from the books.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
