A Business Standard report sourced the director and actress Natalie Dormer's response about the level of violence in the movie.
"In the visual interpretation of the stories, I wanted to make sure that we were again focusing on the emotional consequence of of it, not the carnage, not the blood...You'll notice there is very, very little blood. That's not what I wanted to explore, that's not what I am interested in," he said.

The movie will remain true to the book, and therefore they could not exactly shy away from the violence. The director spoke about that as a challenge.
"That was probably the biggest challenge I had in the making of this movie specifically. I think each of the movies has been violent in its own way, but this was going to be the toughest," he said.
Dormer also added that they didn't want to be patronising to the young audience which also explains why they might have wanted to incorporate the grit.
"I think the Hunger Games is a phenomenon that's rewritten the rule book about what can be commercially viable. It's not condescending, it's not patronising to its young audience," she said.
Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 will hit theaters on Nov. 20.
