Shall I obsessively
Shall I obsessively overanaylze the Hunger Games trailer? Yes, I shall!
WARNING: THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS. LOTS OF THEM. DUH!!!!!!!
I am using the trailer on Youtube, Visotrailers, first one to come up if you search "hunger games official trailer". The title of the video is "The Hunger Games - Official Trailer [HD]" It is 2:33 long.
Feel free to disagree with me on certain parts.

I don't think I even need to watch the trailer now, you analyzed it thoroughly! :) Well done. I don't think I would have been able to do that.

The Capitol accent is hilarious.
The white-haired guy with the beard is President Snow.
The buff blond guy is Cato.
They didn't cast Madge so Prim's probably the one giving Katniss the pin.
And HAVE YOU SEEN EFFIE'S CLOTHES? They are AMAZING. I'm going to be her for Halloween. :D

THE BACKPACK ISN'T ORANGE!!!!! Does that bother anybody besides myself?
(February 20, 2012 - 1:04 pm)
Yes, it does. Same with taking out Madge. I tell my friends this, and they're like, "Uh... who's Madge?"
(February 21, 2012 - 10:10 pm)
When they show the flaming pin, I like that they put Rue's four note mockingjay call in there. hmm hmm hmm hmm. :)

Oh and I forgot to ask: has anyone seen the music video for Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift? She wrote the song specifically for The Hunger Games movie and it is SO AWESOME!!!!!!! The video has no real footage from HG, but they incorporate the feelings and all that into it; there's even the Mockingjay pin. :)
Spammy says twig. Yes, Spammy, there are a lot of twigs in the video. :)

So cool, you analyzed it all. I watched the trailer right before reading this, and I followed it step by step. I could not be able to write that all down like that.
(March 19, 2012 - 7:30 pm)
Uh, one more question: What is the Mockingjay pin for? And what is a mockingjay?
Mockingjay is the third book in The Hunger Games series.
