Continuity mistake: At the end, the blanket wrapped around the baby changes. In the wide shots, the red stripe is near the feet, but in the close up shots, the red stripe is around the body, next to Katniss' hand. And in the wide shot and first close up shot, the baby's right arm is lying on the blanket, but in following shots, the arm is under the blanket without Katniss doing anything.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015)
Directed by: Francis Lawrence
Starring: Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Dormer
Continuity mistake: When Boggs and the team approach the area to film the first propo, we see them approach the square from behind and the ground is dry. Camera changes to the front and now the ground is wet. (00:45:40)
Factual error: When Katniss approaches the gate to President Snow's mansion, just after the massacre of civilians in the large plaza, she sees her sister attending to wounded and runs toward her. There is a fiery explosion and Katniss is thrown onto her back and we see that radiant heat from the blast has caused the front of her coat to burst into flames. Flash burns are a common injury following an explosion, but Katniss has not a mark on her face, and not a trace of redness then, or shortly afterward when she is treated in a dispensary.
Suggested correction: As is made clear in the book, the fire never touches Katniss' face.
Trivia: At the end of the film, when Katniss and Peeta are enjoying their life together, their two children are played by Jennifer Lawrence's real-life nephews Bear and Theodore.
Peeta Mellark: Your favorite color is green. Real or not real?
Katniss Everdeen: Real. Your favorite color is orange; Not a bright orange, but a soft orange, like the sunset.
Peeta Mellark: Thank you.
Peeta Mellark: You love me. Real or not real?
Katniss Everdeen: Real.
Peeta Mellark: Our lives were never ours, they belong to Snow, and our deaths do too. But if you kill him, Katniss, all those deaths, they mean something.
Question: Was it really Coin who killed Prim or was Snow lying?
Answer: Coin was ultimately responsible. Coin sent Prim to the Capitol and then had the Capitol bombed. The rebels, led by Coin, used hovercrafts with the Capitol insignia on it to drop the bombs so that the public thought it was the Capitol bombing their children. Coin wanted Katniss to blame Snow for Prim's death to get her full support.
Question: How come Katniss still wanted to kill Snow after learning it was Coin who released the parachutes and killed all the children including Prim?
Chosen answer: Katniss keeps up the appearance that she wants to be the one to kill Snow so that she can be in a position to kill Coin. She still hates Snow for all he's done, but sees that he's dying anyway. She realises Coin is the greater threat, and will simply rule as Snow did.
