![]() She ultimately proves better than her job, and her standing in The Hunger Games’ elaborate social structure makes the choice all the braver as a result. It’s not a sacrifice she makes lightly – her grumbling about it forms the bulk of Mockingjay’s comic relief – but it signals her essential decency transcending the quiet awfulness of her official position. She appears devoid of her finery for the first time, forced to take refuge in the upstart District 13 and give up her previous life. Her job as escort subsequently becomes more focused on her charges’ survival, and she ultimately abandons the Capitol to join the rebel forces, throwing her lot in with the district whose oppression she used to enable.Įffie survives the rebellion, though her appearance in the two-movie adaptation of Mockingjay is more substantive than the book. Forced to watch her two "winners" get thrown back into the arena they barely survived the first time, her sunny facade crumbles at the Capitol’s treachery. She’s a seeming contradiction, a shallow and indulgent member of the social elite who morphs into one of Katniss and Peeta’s staunchest allies as the saga proceeds. By Andrew Sims When asked in a new interview with LBGT-interests magazine The Advocate if she’s ever played a gay character, actress Elizabeth Banks said she thinks Effie may be a lesbian. ![]() The Hunger Games is set for release on March 23 this year, and hopefully this interview with Banks is just the beginning of tidbits we'll be getting from the actors leading up to the release.All of that changes throughout the series, as her charges first win the Hunger Games, then find themselves betrayed by President Snow in Catching Fire. Effie Trinket quietly found a way to steal the show in the Hunger Games saga, first as a figure in Suzanne Collins’ series of young adult novels, then memorably played by Elizabeth Banks in the successful film adaptations. ![]() The characters are so different and shoved together so often that I'm really looking forward to seeing Banks and Harrelson squabble with each other. It is only seemingly unimportant because she supports the main character, Katniss Everdeen, and boosts her self-esteem before the Games, which contributes to Katniss’ victory. Gale and Katniss make fun of her affected Capitol accent and how she is overly. Effie Trinket is a dynamic character, who plays a seemingly unimportant role in Suzanne Collins’ novel The Hunger Games. The one part that isn't mentioned in this interview, and wasn't part of the trailer either? The funny, often contentious relationship between Effie and Haymitch, the former District 12 tribute played by Woody Harrelson. Effie is the escort from the Capitol who has been assigned to District 12. "Katniss is so strong, so courageous, and when faced with this overly positive, super-enthusiastic Effie, and I definitely had some great moments of conflict." Just as in the books, Banks said that led to some friction between the two characters: It's a strange contrast especially to the character of Katniss, who is a tomboy with no interest in the hair, makeup and showiness that Effie wants her to participate in. She's a publicist hired by the people running The Hunger Games to shepherd the tributes from District 12- in this case Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson)- and make sure they're polished, camera-ready and presentable for the games. Effie tries to attempt to remain positive despite her taxing job. My vision of the Capitol is pansexual like ancient Rome, where everybody’s doing. Though The Hunger Games books are known for their violence and sometimes grim attitude, the character of Effie is the opposite. Personality flighty, sometimes overly cheerful, and a master in Capitol protocol and manners. I don’t think I have although Effie Trinket in ‘The Hunger Games’ might be gay, she said. Every day I would have that aha moment, like, 'We did it! We found Effie!' " Never one to go without being fashionable, Effie alters her drab government issue clothing to reflect her inimitable style.
