Apart from action-packed scenes, viewers similarly need to watch out for heartbreaking moments in 'Catching Fire'. The second film of the highly-acclaimed dystopian novel features painful scenes primarily because all the previous winners of The Hunger Games have been enlisted to go back to the Arena and fight for their lives.
 
According to author Suzanne Collins in an interview with TIME magazine, different elements make the film memorable: "There's violence, there's war, there's hunger, there's the propaganda, there's the environment's been destroyed, there's a ruthless government, misuse of power and all these other elements that come into play with it."

With these elements in mind, what are the scenes which viewers should be emotionally prepared for?

Katniss commemorating Rue and Thresh in front of their families during the Victory Tour in District 11.

As the newest Victors, Katniss and Peeta were mandated to visit all districts in Panem to talk about their opponents. Katniss thanks Thresh for showing her mercy when he had the chance to kill her. Most importantly, she expressed her grief for her friend Rue.

Touched by her gesture, an old man in the crowd gives Katniss a three-finger salute while whistling the three-note tune. The crowd joins the man but the Peacekeepers disturbed the moment by grabbing the old man and shooting him on stage.

Cinna being brutally beaten seconds before Katniss is launched into the Arena.

During the interview with the Tributes, Katniss wore her wedding dress which magically turned into an outfit which resembled a mockingjay. Since the mockingjay is deemed as a sign of rebellion, Cinna had to pay for his act.

On the day of the Quarter Quell games, Cinna was the one who escorted Katniss to the Arena. Katniss stepped onto the platform and when its doors closed, Peacekeepers emerged and started to beat Cinna with their batons. Poor Katniss couldn't do anything but just shout as her friend's bloody body was dragged outside.

Mags sacrificing her life so that Finnick can save Peeta.

Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, and Mags immediately became alliances in the vicious Arena. While they were sleeping, Katniss noticed a suspicious fog. Upon sticking her hand out, her hand was severely burned. She shouted so that they could run. Peeta's grotesque boils made him unable to walk and Katniss couldn't carry him as well. Sensing the difficulty, Mags kissed Finnick and walked into the poisonous fog to die. Finnick and Katniss then carried Peeta.

Peeta comforting a dying Tribute by asking her to watch the sunrise.

Ravenous baboons soon attacked the group. One of them attacked Peeta but a girl suddenly appeared and saved Peeta. However, her throat was bitten in the process. The group then went toward the beach where Peeta comforted the scared girl. Peeta calmed the girl by asking her to watch the sunrise so that she would forget the pain. Few seconds later, a hovercraft emerged to retrieve the girl's body.

Katniss realizing that Peeta has been captured by the Capitol.

One of the film's closing scenes involve d Katniss waking up with an oxygen mask. "She will lose her mind if she finds out about the boy," says Haymitch which Katniss heard. Katniss then found out that the group was not able to save Peeta and that he was captured by the Capitol. Even if she's still weak, Katniss showed her anger for losing the love of her life. She was then sedated only to wake up and be informed that her beloved district had already vanished.
