Movie review: Mocking jay

The film set-up is more sober, this time, the glamour of Capitol is missing.
Katniss Evergreen is forced to join a militaristic society of rebels, who try to use her as a symbol, to rally the troops.
The more elder rebel president Alma Coin, and Plutarh old Capitol game master, are trying to steer Katniss for their interest using her emotions as reins.
Katniss as any young female, is untameable, their can't force her to act in front of camera. In Capitol she acted to save innocents, now she is free to negotiate the terms.
On the other side president Putin, I meant Snow, sorry, is trying to pull her emotional reins by  keeping Peeta captive, and use him as a propaganda tool. Katniss is torn apart between her love for Peeta, the disgust for his words and the love for her old lover Gale, who stand by her.
Gale will be noble enough to volunteer to rescue Peeta from Snow's hand, leaving Katniss anxious about the fact that bothe her lovers are in Snow's grasp.
If in previous 3 film, action and glamour predominated, this film is more sober and more psychological.
Some scenes are very realistic, sometimes you think you see images from Ukraine war zone.
I won't spoil the end, but I will say that the screen writer have left an opening for the next film.
What is strange how some things don't change:
 In Romania in presidential 2014 elections, and before that in 1989, the elders politicians have steered the discontent and energy of the young people, to reach the power.
Now I just expect next Mocking Jay film and the next year to see how they will use it.
