Right.
They show us in the trailer the first uprising und a selective conversation with President Snow and Heavensbee (
Her entire species must be eradicated... The other victors. Because of her, they all pose a threat. Because of her, they all think they're invincible) why it comes to the quarter quell. They raise subtile our anticipation for the film, smart move.
But you can't expect that every basic brain can recognize that.
PS
Her entire species (they dehumanise them, this was a speciality of the Nazis for their enemies)

If you just look at the whole conversation between Snow and Heavensbee it is more superior than the whole body of work of Michael Bay, I don't think that's lame.

To understand the mechanism of dictators and their terrorsystem it's very useful to read Eugen Kogon - The Theory and Practice of Hell
http://www.amazon.com/The-Theory-Pra...ds=eugen+kogon
"Unlike many other books by survivors who published immediately after the war, The Theory and Practice of Hell is more than a personal account. It is a horrific examination of life and death inside a Nazi concentration camp, a brutal world of a state within state, and a society without law. But Kogon maintains a dispassionate and critical perspective. He tries to understand how the camp works, to uncover its structure and social organization. He knew that the book would shock some readers and provide others with gruesome fascination. But he firmly believed that he had to show the camp in honest, unflinching detail.!
and Elias Canetti, a great study of the interplay of crowds - Crowds and Power
http://www.amazon.com/Crowds-Power-E...=elias+canetti
"This book is a massive--and for the most part massively entertaining--indictment of the human being at virtually every level of its existence. Whether alone, in packs, or full-sized crowds, our goal is not just survival, but to be the last man standing beside a pile of corpses. No kidding. Crudely put, that's the bottom line, but its how Canetti adds up the facts to arrive at his thesis, or, perhaps more accurately, subtracts all the subterfuges we hide behind, that provides the real fascination of *Crowds and Power.*!
This was my favorite book of the series 
Incredible
should be more often used at ATRL.
Where have I been for 2 months?
The first one was boring and made me think that, yet again, they're gonna rush the games
