"Always"

The split decision was about more than just ending the movie on a cliffhanger or giving it a satisfying climax. It was also a thematic choice that makes the movie, start to finish, about Peeta Mellark. Mockingjay, Part 1 opens with Katniss huddled in that access tunnel, reciting the list of things she knows to be true, including Peeta’s status. He was taken prisoner by the Capitol. He’s most likely dead. It’s probably best if he’s dead. She’s suffering from PTSD, and the biggest thing weighing on her mind is Peeta. From there, Peeta controls the beats of the movie. After his first interview with Caesar, Katniss agrees to be the Mockingjay, but ONLY if he gets immunity. His second interview creates a rift between Katniss and Gale as he calls Peeta “a coward.” His third appearance gives him a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of District 13 as he warns them of an imminent attack. It also nearly sends Katniss into a catatonic state as she has the realization that President Snow is using him to torture her. Then Peeta’s rescue becomes a priority. Then Peeta tries to kill her and the credits roll. He’s not on screen much, but this movie is Peeta’s.

“It wound up feeling like a really natural place to break the book, because after Peeta’s back, and you have a whole different set of priorities,” said Craig. “There’s a whole different process that Katniss goes through with him once he’s back. … This look she gives Peeta — she’s looking at somebody who she really loves who isn’t just a pawn in this chess game the way he is to everybody else.”

Liam Hemsworth entered the friend zone when he got a hug for returning Josh Hutcherson.
