That was the best monologue in the movie. Because he realized he was already dead. He was supposed to die his entire life. We pity those kids from poor districts, but have we ever stop to think of the careers? They were trained for this. Knowing they would probably die. What kind of parents use their kids as a business? Trained to make them rich, or die. The children from 12 were poor and starving and weak. But most of them had their parents, loving parents who would die to get some food to bring home for them. Cato and the rest of the careers lived under a fake mask of glory. And he realized it right before he died. “Is that what you wanted?” He screamed to the cameras. Was he blaming the Capitol? Or maybe, just maybe, was there a heartless mother back home, realizing she had killed her child from the day he was born?
