Songbirds and Snakes - Let Me Explain (A Hunger Games Ballad)

Listen, welcome to the capital, so 64 years before the first movie there was a kid named Cory Elena Snow who went from being a heartthrob to a dictator like I usually do and considering I think the Hunger Games is one of the best franchises that exist. I actually thought it was a pretty decent prequel to the series, let me

explain

, give me a drink, give me a drink right now, so the movie starts with a young Snow back when he was a kid in what they called the days. dark years before. the first Hunger Games, where he and his cousin were looking for food, but instead they found a guy who was cutting up bodies for physical education exercises.

Years later, they are still so poor that they eat starch and iron with it like Chorus and The Tigers live with her grandmothers and she lost her parents and Snow's mother and sister died during childbirth. The guy also lives in the shadow of his dad since he was a general who was killed by some rebels in the district, so after being killed by 12 he decides to become a 12 choir. been working in the capital in hopes of winning the pedestal award, which is more or less a scholarship that will allow him to go to university and they are announcing who will receive it on harvest day when they choose the tributes for The Hunger Games and it is also their graduation, so while the children of the district receive their caps, the children of the capital receive dresses.

You made it to the harvest for once and made it to graduation. We're both surprised at school, everyone is dressed like it's 1984, which really helps. Chorus, since none of her friends know that she is poor, his influence is chasing a classmate who always tries to take credit. Felix, the president's son, who is always eating, and Arachne Kane, who is the meanest of the girls who is also related to Senica from the first movie, who was designing the game, so I guess there's something sick and sadist in his family, what is that dress? She's kind of a clown and then there's Janes who everyone makes fun of because she actually came from the districts, her dad is the one who quit plin prize since he got Filthy Rich selling weapons for the military, no one here really likes her but They love their money, you know how that is, right?

Arachne, we then meet Dean Casa High Bottom B, he is the creator of the

games

he drinks. more than him, Mitch, and he was actually Snow's father's best friend before things went bad. I see that your father, him and I were best friends, so now he's sabotaging Snow Junior's chances of getting the award because honestly, all he does is insult him. at you, your makeshift shirt and your two tight shoes, when I know the Snows don't have anything to pee in, you hear that boy, it's the sound of snow falling, this man really said: how are you going to fit in when you don't ? your clothes even fit because the

games

are getting less views in the WNBA they decide to change the rules for the 10th Annual making the 24 students who are nominated for the award have to be mentors of the tributes in order to win it and this man says they don't even need to be survivors, they just need to turn them into spectacles.

I'm here to tell you that there has been a change this year. A final task to prove his worth. This is the first time we've seen the draft pick version. the lottery where all the rich kids are watching the live stream to see who they will be assigned from districts 1 and 2. They supply goods and soldiers to the capital. They always tend to be the winners as they are always better trained and fed. and that is why sanus ends up with marcus, since his father single-handedly chose the strongest tribute for him to earn the pedestal of selfless benefactor strabo.

Pam is grateful for the weapons she provides us, sir. Well our enemies in the districts probably don't feel the same way but it misses the point, the unpleasant thing is that it doesn't even need the plin award since you know it's a pedestal. His dad simply chose Marcus because he knew that was his friend when they were in the district and he knows that allowing his friend to be killed will separate his son's past life. you are monsters, all of you in the book. The District 3 tributes are the techwiz kids who can hack and control the drones they sent to the arena. but we don't really get to see them because they couldn't hack until the final cut of the District 4 movie has Coral and Bizen, who end up being the biggest threats because they're the ones gathering allies.

Hey, lumberjack, no, no. only you after 5 and 6, district 7 gets the most scene time with Treach and Lamina, who come from the logging district. The district has a mentor named Heavens, which means they should be a relative of Plutarch who we ended up seeing in the original series. by Philip Seymour Hoffman but his tributes are bobin and wovi, who shouldn't be there, it's not fair, it's not right. F you, after districts 9 and 10, we see more of 11, which has Dill dying of tuberculosis before even recruiting her and Reaper, who is already killed a peacekeeper upon entering, but it's the final district that has the tribute chorus, who High Bottom even nicknames District 12's songbird Lucy the Grizzly Bear.

Snow then turns white when he sees his tribute approaching on harvest day wearing an Etsy outfit and The first thing this girl does when all eyes are on her is drop a snake on another girl's dress, sing to get out of this Lucy Grey. Turns out Lucy did this to the mayor's daughter who was cheating on her man so she literally had dad set it up for Lucy to be chosen especially since Lucy isn't even from here she's a singer who is part of a well known traveling group like kovi and she has a country accent like Dolly when she talks and she also loves playing with

snakes

so she's pretty. a lot like a Swifty costume, I'm not hungry, you think I can't hear your stomach growl, just up D and look, I know they got this girl fighting harder than the Hunger Games when it comes to the press tour and I've had some criticism about the acting I think they're getting better but when it comes to the singing you just have to separate the art from the artist and taking my P they had her sing live on satellite and I think she absolutely kills every scene that is. to the point that she was being given more verses and they were giving her lines and Lucy is also a theater kid like this girl was just chosen to be murdered in front of a live studio audience and yet she burst into a musical number. because you saw the cameras were rolling, it really went from The Hunger Games to 12 Side Stories, take my capital, it says it keeps rolling, nothing you can take, eventually they meet when they bring the tributes and the snow just rises above it like if they really gave her a lot of shots from below to make it look like we're always admiring her you know, giving her Bruno Mars angles you look like a good man Cora Snow immediately Snow is trying to get on her slave's good side so she can win the games to the point that he even brings her flowers which Lucy eats like she's a dinosaur, but he's so desperate that he even got on the truck that sent them to the zoo since they were literally locked up like animals while all these families and TV teams come. to see them.

Any reports of rabies cases within the capital's walls are a complete fabrication spread by traitorous outlaws intent on destroying our way of life. It sounds like she's my mother-in-law. In addition to the rabies that Lucy's partner Jessup contracts, there is also a rachne that she continues to torment. or tribute from her by dangling food in her face, leading District 10's Brandy to snatch the bottle from her and slit her throat, killing her, but then the Super Troopers also shoot him in her place. What are the Hunger Games for Dr. Volumea? GA is the creator of the game who also teaches at the University and is played by Viola Davis who got the role because the director saw some horror fan art of her from the help and they practically played with the fact that the director said she based the character in Wily Wonka while Viola was concentrating a lot on her is an evil scientist who has like 4 hours of makeup on, has different colored eyes, which was her idea, and even a blood red coat that looks like she's hiding the consequences from everyone the experiments he has carried out and he really likes them.

Forget Che in the scene where this lady was biting, how tempting to see all her bright young faces on this auspicious day. I am Dr. volumia GA, your humble game creator in charge of the war department and all his affiliated concerns, ma'am, they know Ju Just. He says good morning, Snow then gets in trouble for breaking rules that don't exist about going to the zoo, but that's what gets G interested in him and he even listens to his idea of ​​placing bets on tributes so people can have bet when it arrives. to the games and they really invest and if it helps with the ratings they're hearing, persuade them to perform on camera, enter G's office full of creatures and touch everything like she's Darla, except the

snakes

because GA actually does them. use to delete.

Liars like the humidity because CLM decides to take credit for Snow's proposal. Gaul sets up a test where he needs to get the paper out of his snake pit and unless they recognize your sense or don't sense that you're sweating like a liar, they're going to bite you. and although in the book she comes back later after the bite with a bunch of scales, we never see her again in the movie, so it was a little difficult when Snow asked if she was going to be okay and this lady's response was: find out through science I thought I told you to make better friends so you can strategize with your tributes, they are taken on a field trip to the arena where they will all be killed, but before they can come up with a game plan. a group of rebels arrive from above and blow up the place killing four tributes, so before the games even started it looked like they were going to eliminate half of them.

I'm lucky that Flickerman is the first host of The Hunger Games after helping Chorus to In the rubble, you see these two start to bond a lot more when Snow gets him an instrument so he can sing with drops of blood on his guitar for the live show they do to get more sponsors, that's where Jason Schwarzman kills like a lucky guy. flickerman who is technically a relative of two cheeses flickerman who ends up leveling up the whole stick in the future movies but for now lucky doesn't know if he wants to be a host, meteorologist or magician, but he's the one who shows up. with the iconic line we know from the first movie I don't love your odds, but may they ever be in your favor May the odds always be in your favor Lucy then continues her version of PanAm Idol and breaks a donation record with more than 2,000 and if that wasn't enough, snow even gives Lucy some rat poison and a Covergirl compact, you know, just in case, please, gus, please don't let me die here tomorrow once Let's get to the games, it's completely opposite of what I saw in the original movies because none of that has been invented yet.

As far as the elaborate domes go, it's really just a Colosseum full of child gladiators where they all kill each other within the first 10 minutes of their bodies being splattered. On the ground, they're doing crazy long takes as they're being chased and I think one of the things that makes it more brutal is that they're not wearing suits or dresses like in other movies, they still have these kids in their street closed because of the bombing is also all rubble, so Lucy and Jessup jumped into the sewers to hide, while Marcus, who tried to flee after the bombing, is on a cot and hanging from a piece of concrete carrying the girl from District 7 to the head.

Go ahead and give him a mercy killing since that's how you show love in games, smile, that's why we have teeth now when it comes to the control room, they said they had already filmed all the arena scenes first, so that all screens are playing. Footage meaning they were watching The Hunger Games and that's where the mentors can send drones to deliver things, but since they're old war drones, they end up crashing harder than a Tesla because Marcus was their friend. Janus barges in at night to do a ritual for him, causing them to shut down the live stream, leading Gaul to force snow in there so he can catch his friend by promising him a share of the prize, but she just knew. that he would go. there it would mean that he will face one of the tributes that will lead to his first death and, although he suffered a cut when leaving it, that feeling of blood made him feel powerful.

It's not just about winning, it's all about winning the next day. Questioning who cut off the transmissions and why there is a dead tribute in a place that is full of dead tributes, but before they can ask questions, Lucy has to deal with Jessup's rage which turns him into a zombie, then they send water because I guess he's an acquaintance. fact that rabies causeshydrophobia, meaning the infected will go crazy if they come into contact with H2O and then none of that really matters because the drone just knocks it out and then runs back to the top where they surround it.

Snow cheats by sending more drones than Obama, causing them to fight over Lucy, then swaps the bottles with poisoned rat water as the group goes to kill the District 7 tribute and even one of their own, and it ends up being Dill, the girl. with tuberculosis who ends up drinking the water killing it faster is when Reaper who is from his District gathers all the bodies and wraps them in the PanAm flag, drawing out the spectators to the point that they have to go to breaking news we end up discovering that Felix the The president's son had died due to injuries from the bombing, so Gaul is ready to cancel the games and let them all die as punishment.

I want my enemies to see a rainbow of destruction, okay, so a woman's opinion who will be the next snow. Visit the lab again to get more points, but also to put on that handkerchief that Lucy wiped her tears with and slip it into the snake pit so they can recognize your scent and somehow no one sees it. That's also the scene where Gaul

explain

s the birds' fight. which were used during the war because they are able to imitate what people say, they are known as chatterboxes, which they eventually did with mockingbirds, creating a new species.

I had never seen those birds before, mockingbirds, we called them Lucy. then falls into the poisoning of the Treach van and runs through the rubble while G releases the snakes in the sand taking Wovie out of District 8 Reaper gets Medusa Ginger is captured and they think that nothing is happening to Lucy because she is singing to the snakes when it turns out that it was actually his vocal cords that were in more danger than his life every time he sings in the movie he sings Live the only time we had to limit the amount of singing he did was when he sings that song with the snakes and It's because the climax of that song hits her so intensely that it could actually damage her voice and her vocal cords and it was the only time we really strained her voice, now we're going to let her die there until all the students start singing. to let her out, so by default, Lucy Gray is announced as the winner, but Snow is caught cheating because not only does the tall butt recognize her mom's compact, but the handkerchief she swiped had her dad's initials on it and this is the guy who's going to be president High bot, then has the honor of exiling this kid for 20 years, which takes him from this welcome to the capital to that look, they're holding hands and I love them.

Dead Snow is then sent to District a. to become a soldier, but because he swipes it like a panm dub, he is redirected to 12 where sanus joins him, so now they are there like the two tributes from the capital were put on patrol and had their heads shaved, so he doesn't look like snow Shady cor I'm so sorry whatever you did I swear I'll keep you safe once they're gone he ends up finding Lucy singing on her AAS tour since the capital letter came back to District 12, but so do they. They mentioned that they liked her singing so much, you never know, you know they might invite her back to the Hunger halftime show after fighting with her ex and even including her own song on the soundtrack, we hear Lucy sing that song that Katniss ends up using. in the mocking J-movies that drive the revolution, so knowing that it's a popular song that carries across the districts, it makes sense why it hits the snow so hard when almost half a century later, another brunette from the same place sings it to get him what a nice pin thank you he's from my district they must be so proud of you honestly it contributes a lot to why Snow took it so personally because you know he was seeing his ex in the mockingjay and the idea of ​​Ella the idea of ​​the mockingjay and although I really like the press description that Lucy is the artist who has to fight, while Katniss was the fighter who had to make the images that they especially like with the csy, they feel that You take what made Katniss original and then give the origin to someone else, so unless they are related and it runs in the blood and that's why they did the same thing, I don't think Katniss would go to a library and find the recordings. of the 10th Hunger Games so he could know what to do, especially since they mentioned that everyone was eliminated.

She's one of the first people to take on the capital, but she's charming, she's a musician, she's a performer, she's kind of an anti-cat. While helping with the murders, Snow hangs out with Lucy and Kovi, which means people's heads are soaked in the morning while he showers with his girl at night, but you get to see a little more of the world, even if you don't. It's so much. As you can see in the book, they don't really have anything, so everything she would wear had to come from somewhere, so I would create backstories about how this got here and why this color would be on her, so we had like you know, pink lips and cheeks were raspberry and then in one of the kitchen scenes she had iridescent teal eye shadow that we said crushed beetles and put them in her eyes like always , it became a kind of game with us.

Where did this come from? So it was fun, Cole with the eyeliner or the mascara, so we started playing that game. Snow is finally called by a superior who was played by this gu, you know he's evil, but he's told he's getting a promotion to go train as an officer in District 2, which is a place they're illegally funding to create. more soldiers, that's when he confronts his cousin, who was in the movie much less than he expected and It turns out that they had to move because they were evicted. They also cut a lot of the scenes dealing with her backstory from the book, especially when it came to knowing what she had to do to survive, but upon re-watching the second part of Making Fun of J, I actually see her appear as someone who He helped defeat his cousin and someone who turned into a tiger, so you like an underdog.

Everyone likes underdogs. Not me, we end up learning about Janus's plan, who has been conspiring with the people of District 12 to start a rebellion, so Snow records him talking about it and sends him to Gaul with those birds who also imitate and finally Sanus He realizes how naive he is because he thought giving people money was going to be used for good, but Snow catches them trying. weapons during one of the shows, that's what leads him to kill the mayor's daughter, who he thought was about to tell on her, then they killed the disgusting boyfriend, so obviously the mayor sends a raid to find the weapons and the thugs who did it and that leads to them. hanging three including sanus because of Snow's recording and talking about sanus crying out to his mom for help before he died and then having the birds repeat that it was a crazy shot almost as crazy as finding out that Rachel was dating the actor who He played it since they met. in Westside Story and now he's there watching his girl suffer a blizzard at the hands of the snowman, but in Rachel you know she was the first person Francis met, but she was doing Snow White and she felt like she couldn't to go back to back and go straight to another production so far from home, so we had to imagine doing it without her, but finally, after casting Josh, we got an unexpected call from his agent who said, "It's too late now, "You just chose your boyfriend." She will leave and wants you to consider her again.

She even took her sister to a store and he said, Why don't you call your sister? She could be an extra and you really see her face before you see mine. If then. they literally meet at the Hanging Tree where they murdered three and escape together, but not at midnight while they are in the forest. Snow slides in and mentions that he murdered three and Lucy gets mad at him because one was fine, two get a pass but three, it's really a matter of balance in this world because you know the first person he killed was a tribute and that was for the capital, it was what they wanted in the games, but then when he killed the mayor's daughter, he thought he was doing it for Lucy or the rebels, but the third is killing his own friend or, actually, how He says it, killing a part of himself.

I think there is a natural kindness that is born in all of us, no actually, then they go to a cabin hidden in the forest where the snow is leads him directly to the weapons that are hidden under the floor that would connect them to the murders. , so he feels like Lucy's kind of snitch and that's something they covered a lot more in the book where she also plays him. and I talked a lot about Lucy as a character and the many facets of her and how she's charismatic and an actress and she knows how to use her sexuality, um, maybe to manipulate her so she can slide as fast as she can.

Lucy dives in. in the rain to choose this cat plan that she knows that she is completely out of season and I like that the line is a little early, but it's like cat, this time it's not cat, but then she goes out to look for her and finds her . fabric with a snake underneath that bites him and if they're both supposed to be a mix of

songbirds

and snakes, this is where one replaces it because the guy goes crazy and there were still girls on the screen and they were like, I think I can fix it, I wasn't horny, I mean I wasn't horny, let's see how you use that famous snow spell now on me, which is why I feel like it should have been a miniseries because they have three different parts and I think they rushed it. the third and most important part because you know how tight they needed to make the story for a movie, I think a miniseries would have been great because we would have seen a lot of the visits he made to the zoo that were cut.

We find out that this really strengthens their relationship with the zoo, since it's also a place their mom took them to before she died. We also could have seen the guy Snow met with to get Lucy her guitar, since she was working the black market and all. It would have been a really cool episode to explore more of this world. There are even the tributes they make for the tributes that show how the districts mourn them because the capital would hang their bodies to teach them a lesson or even parade them on horses. drag them if they were the Runaways, but instead they spent more money making fan cams as promos.

The quality of the cat is a much better ring, right? This is the official account of the company in which it is now playing its own Hunger Games. the forest that probably inspired some of the future scenarios, but he really loses it and goes full Call of Duty shooting the mocking javes he thinks are mocking him, although it's only a matter of time before we get all these pieces of thinking they are It's about his radicalization because yes, like in the OG movies, it's about nature versus nurture and how this guy was raised by an abusive father who was also a general.

He grew up seeing atrocities like people eating other people. His mentors are evil and they like it. Love triangle with Katniss, who had to choose between a soldier and a rebel. Snow is told several times that he is the capital or the girl and after feeling betrayed, he becomes king and country and everyone starts off as innocent until 'No, um, yeah, I find that interesting.' I mean, you know, I have my theories. No, I don't want to give any spoilers. I have my theories. I think Suzanne has her theories, but you know, the whole idea is the same. the mystery that she's a mysterious figure um she always was always will be um you know she even sings a song about the Lucy Gray type of mystery and so you know we all love what everyone's going to have have their own idea of where is she now the ending is something that is purposely meant to divide everyone because I know a lot of people want to see her alive and are throwing out theories about where she is or who. she may be, but at first I really thought that him shooting her and leaving her body outside of her was what made it cold. legend, who, song and history.

Moving on to What Katniss ends up becoming, I think, is what makes it so effective that even though she's gone, her ghost will literally haunt him for years and the Mysteries have a way of motivating people, but hey, it's Lion's Gate . Bigger series, so you never know. I like to think that she really likes the bird and Lucy Gray in the poem that she sings and that she flies away. Eventually he ends up packing his bags with his degree and three vials and sauces, but in a six-turn of events instead of becoming a soldier of District 2, he gets a full pardon and gets Janice's parents to fund his college studies. without even telling them the truth, never let them see you bleed, welcome home Mr.

Snow, the president renews the games. because the ratings end up being some of the highest and Snow returns to Gaul, who clearly had a planteacher to control Coro, the director even explains it by using the word grooming where she manipulated him into becoming a soldier and eventually a politician like a Shakespeare. tragedy, so practically all of this was a test for her, it is essential to accept what human beings are and what it takes to control them. Just know, let me ask you one last time what the Hunger Games are for and now you finally have an answer. and it is not that it is a punishment for the districts or a warning to the capital, but it is a reminder that the entire world is The Hunger Games, the Earth is the stage where you fight with others to survive, get sponsors and make anything.

He needs to be victorious and control the underdogs, why do we have a winner? I hope it is the only thing stronger than fear. We end up finding out that that strategist came up with the idea for The Hunger Games as punishment just because he was a drunk, he was throwing things around, but it was actually Snow's father who stole the idea and presented it to him the same way. that Clemy stole Coral before, but that's why he feels so guilty because he never really wanted to do it. and that's why you never hear him say tributes because he's not really there for the games, the tenth annual harvest ceremony where we pick two kids from each district and throw them into the capital Arena to fight to the death in The Games of Hunger, as it is Janus's 19th birthday.

Snow gives him his belongings, including the vial, to return to his parents. She prepared him a lot, as in the book she even calls him as high as the bottom of a kite, knowing that he drank those vials of poison out of guilt, letting it die, something he had become a master at once he was president, eventually trickled down. his Hogwarts attack comes out like a Victor and ends everything with the race to capture him that the snow always falls on it but once it catches fire it also melts and if we burn, you burn with us
