Elizabeth Banks dishes out on Effie’s character

In an interview with Next Movie, Elizabeth Banks discussed Effie’s personality and how it was a direct result of the Capitol.
[Effie Trinket] is an absolutely fascinating character. There’s so much tension built into her. She’s essentially a puppet of the regime.
Effie’s entire life is given to her at the hands of this totalitarian regime. So she’s one of the lucky ones, in that she’s in the privileged class, but at the same time, that all can be taken away from her at any moment.
When she comes across this uncontrollable tribute, whose actions reflect on Effie, it creates a lot of tension for Effie [laughs]. Effie wants Katniss Everdeen to win the games because that would reflect really well on her. But she does not need a revolutionary on her hands.
