Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 - 9 Easter Eggs You May Have Missed

4. The Film-Makers Are The Rebellion

It's already been established that Mockingjay: Part 1's central approach is to look at the role of propaganda, taking the baton from the media's softening of violence seen in The Hunger Games. And, because the Francis Lawrence-era Hunger Games can't help but blurring the lines between Panem and reality, this seeped into the real world. The marketing campaign had already dipped into this, with teaser trailers that were in-world messages from the Capitol, but in the movie the whole thing is amped up to another level. The TVs in District 13 most prominently present propaganda from the Capitol for some reason, but when they're on screensaver mode they present images and text exactly like those used across the movie's standard marketing - Mockingjay Lives, burning birds and all that. Which means one exciting thing - the films are stylistically on a level with the Rebellion's plan, making the film-makers representatives of the Rebels. This could even prompt a reading that the whole series is an in-world, incredibly well-tempered, piece of propaganda in support of the Rebellion, although maybe that's taking it all a little too meta.
