A relatively happy ending

After watching "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay (Part 2)", I suddenly realized that reading the original book must be much more exciting than watching this series of movies. After all, reading can make myself think fully. It can be said that "The Hunger Games" showed the audience the nature of politics in real life, the mutual consumption of power and humanity, and the preciousness and beauty that accompany people but are easily discarded; the only way to be familiar with good and evil is to always adhere to the inner psychology. Talents with conscience are qualified to judge, value is chaotic, any condition can influence human nature, there has never been a fairy tale ending, and this movie is no exception.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 quotes
-
Gale Hawthorne: This is another version of booby-trapping a resource.
Beetee: Right, I see.
Gale Hawthorne: This one's designed to blind. Smoke clings to the eyes. That's an application of the hummingbird trap. You scare people so they flee in this direction into what they think is a safe haven.
Beetee: Two-tiered explosion.
Gale Hawthorne: You allow people enough time to rush in, help the wounded, then...
Katniss Everdeen: A second bomb.
Gale Hawthorne: Right. Second one goes off here.
Katniss Everdeen: I guess there are no rules anymore about what a person can do to another person.
Gale Hawthorne: I don't think Snow used any rulebook when he hijacked Peeta.

Commander Lyme: President Coin, we're indebted to you for the reinforcements and the Mockingjay. But I'm not sure that anyone outside of 2 knows what we've been up against. This is the Nut. The Capitol's headquarters for all offensive operations. It's manned by both military and civilian personnel from District 2. As you can see, the fortress lies so far beneath the bedrock, it's untouchable. Yesterday, we attempted to take the northeastern gate. The enemy countered from higher up and we were forced to pull back. We took heavy losses.
Commander of D5: Could we create a decoy? Send troops towards one gate, launch a staggered attack on another.
Commander Paylor: Whose troops do you propose as a decoy, Commander?
President Alma Coin: We have the Mockingjay. Don't underestimate her. We could use her to erode support. She may be able to sway some of the loyalists.
Commander Lyme: You've been underground a long time, Madam Coin. This isn't like the rest of Panem. Support for the Capitol runs deep here.
President Alma Coin: Then there is no sacrifice too great. We need to control the arsenal inside that fortress. Even with every district in this alliance, we are outgunned.
Commander Paylor: I won't commit my people to a ground assault just to pillage weapons.
President Alma Coin: Commander Paylor, your people have suffered more than just about anyone else at the hands of the Capitol.
Commander Paylor: Which is why I won't condone a mass suicide.
