The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is a 2015 American dystopian science fiction film directed by Francis Lawrence and written by Peter Craig and Danny Strong. It is the fourth and final installment in The Hunger Games film series, based on the novel Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. The film premiered on November 4, 2015, in Berlin, Germany, and was released in the United States on November 20, 2015. The soundtrack for the film was composed by James Newton Howard, who also composed the music for the previous three films in the series. The soundtrack features 19 tracks, including the hauntingly beautiful "The Hanging Tree," which was performed by Jennifer Lawrence and became a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The soundtrack is divided into two parts, with the first part featuring more somber and reflective tracks, while the second part features more action-packed and intense tracks. The first track, "Prim Visits Peeta," sets the tone for the film with its melancholic piano melody. Other notable tracks include "The Rebels Attack," which features a driving percussion beat and soaring strings, and "The Mutts Attack," which features a menacing electronic beat and dissonant strings. Overall, the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is a fitting conclusion to the series, with its mix of reflective and action-packed tracks perfectly capturing the mood of the film. James Newton Howard's masterful composition and use of orchestration and electronic elements create a powerful and emotional listening experience.
