I watched a bit of the first Hunger Games movie, mostly just to test my speaker setup in the basement home theater. The shakycam usage really is excessive, I get where it makes sense, like having the camera shake as it pans across the kids getting reaped makes sense, it shows tension and stress, but why the fuck is it still shaking whenever it's focusing on Effie or whatever the weirdo Capitol lady was named? She doesn't feel anything from any of this. Makes it feel less of a proper stylistic choice and more like something done for the sake of doing things differently.
Oh and Haymitch is the best character in the film, Katniss is an annoying BPD cunt and Peeta is SNCA
