it's a mockingjay party, you're not invited
- Caesar Flickerman is wonderful, teasing, joking, getting choked up when the occasion presents itself. He and Peeta already have the rapport they established that night of the first interview, that easy banter, so I just smile a lot and try to speak as little as possible. -
What's your favorite character from The Hunger Games trilogy?
Why do you like this character?

You're caught me off guard with this question, but the answer is simple enough for me
✨Caesar Flickerman✨
I don’t know what first attracted me then, most likely the image of a sparkling starry sky (yes, I easily fall for such comparisons), but now it’s not so important, since his character is much deeper under all these sparkles.
I like this type of characters that ,,stand in the middle,, as a reminder that the world is not black and white. As for Caesar, we cannot judge him in any way, since his real opinion remains unknown to us. The only thing we have is his interaction with tributes. We never saw him off stage. But on stage, Caesar shows kindness. He really tried to help the tributes feel better, get the attention of sponsors and the public, which later increases the chances of surviving the games. Sincerely or not, he does it.
For me, he was on the side of rebellion, but not in such an obvious open way. Sympathy for the kids and the desire to stop senseless deaths yes, but the destruction of the entire Capitol no. It is possible to condemn the criminal actions of the ruling elite, but it is more difficult to give up your home and the usual life to which you belong.
in addition: everyone remembers what happens to those who in the Capitol show that they are against the system. No one wants to lose their job (although in the case of Flickerman it is unlikely, who but him ??? pale copies ??), the usual way of life, well, life itself :) You can blame him for being a coward, but fear is one of the most tenacious feelings to overcome.
What I don't like is where the movies have taken him (mjp2 Caesar is not real, he can't hurt you, the lack of information in the books saves the day). The pro-capitol stance is too easy when there was an opportunity to make things a lot more interesting and give him character development :(
As for his personality, Caesar is a Capitol citizen, anyway, which means he enjoys all sorts of things, such as endless food at endless parties with discussions about who wears what, and probably with too much alcohol. And then colored pills will be needed, because the next day is work, and then another party. (please stop) And, of course, he had plastic surgery to still look young and beautiful.
I don't think I can agree with all that kind of stuff.
In conclusion, I will add that for me he is also a funny cute colorful parrot (in a good way), which is just nice to be around, and which is aesthetically pleasing to look at 👁️👁️
