The iconic song Katniss sings isn't just "from the district", it's a song from Lucy Gray herself. She started it for her ex but when Snow and her planned to run away together, she continued it for him. So yes, Katniss made the song of war against the capitol be the song Snow's first love made for him.
Lucy didn’t write the song for Snow, it was about the hanging of the man that happened + Bully taupe telling her to meet him at the tree, she wrote the song considering these two situations from the POV of her ex (Billy taupe)
So yeah Lucy didn’t “make” the song for Snow.
@@Mohammadzabuasi it's almost like you didn't even read what I wrote at all😂
@@jrlombardi5251 No I read and you started right but continued wrong 😂 I read the book and analyzed multiple times.
@@Mohammadzabuasi I started right and continued right, it is in the book, I have also read it and neither just once. That's why in the fandom we all know this fun fact and share it with those who have just watched the movie.
@@jrlombardi5251 Then explain to me how she “continued” it for him
I Honestly thought it was a solid prequel that made sense to me in why Snow ended up the way he was in the main story
The relationship between Snow and Lucy gray is so cute, but I do like the way it crumbled down so quickly. There is a quote says "Love cannot live where there is no trust" I think it's exactly what happened to these two.
In the book near the end, Snow also thought about marriage, his way of thinking is that he will marry someone he hates, bcs someone he loves could impact him in so many way like Lucy gray did. So he rather marries someone he hates to never let that happen again😘
Lucy made the song. There are subtle differences. Lucy was singing it as a songwriter and musician. Katniss sang it as a folk song passed down
Lucy Grey did not deserve what happened to her. I am still hoping she survived and managed to escape to freedom. She wasn't gonna be a caged bird
That would be nice but then if she ever saw what the games became she would have to carry that guilt as being the one of the biggest reasons they became the way they were.
There’s some fan theories that she is President Coin in district 13 which would make the books even more crazy.
@@josho712 those theories are silly. Firstly, the ages don't line up - Lucy Gray is around Snow's age and so would be around 80 by the time of the 74th games, meanwhile Coin is in her 50s at most. Secondly, Coin and Lucy Gray's characters are just completely different, it's honestly kinda insulting to Lucy Gray to insinuate that she becomes Coin. The only theory linking this book to the original series that makes sense is Maude Ivory being Katniss' grandmother.
@@masonguthrie1257 yeah but still Snow had the potential to become awful and influence the games even before Lucy
@@masonguthrie1257lmao blaming a woman for a man’s actions is soooo tired, can we please start actually holding the people who DO the damage accountable? 💀 show is an autonomous human who made the decisions he made on his own. lucy didn’t force him to do what he did. she’s not guilty of anything but protecting her life
also side fact: his cousin tigris is the "cat woman“ in mockingjay part 2. Katniss and her unit find shelter in her house where she explains that she was a stylist in the games until snow decided she wasn‘t pretty enough anymore
Snow went from pretty boy to Eminem and from Eminem to Draco Malfoy 🗿💀
Snow was never good. He did not have to kill the tribute in the arena but he did and admitted he liked the power, he let his classmate probably die knowing the snakes would bite her but stayed silent, he taped his best friend knowing he would die, he killed the Mayor's daughter, he tried to kill Lucy Gray, and he poisoned Highbottom for revenge. The actress Rachel Zegler(who played Lucy Gray) won an Oscar for the film West Side Story. What was interesting is both Cori and Tigress were raised in the same household under the same Grandmother who hated the Districts but she had Compassion but he held her views and had none.
lucy said something...."she said she places trust above love"....she told him her condition.
In case you didn’t realize, Snow’s cousin, Tigris, is the same person that helps Katniss and crew hide in the capital after Finnick dies in Mockingjay Part 2.
I love all the connections to the smaller details of the original movies. Like the origin of the song "The Hanging Tree"
And the names, Heavensbee, Crane, Flickerman. and more I think.
Did you notice that the music at the end is the same as the music from the end of Mockingjay Part 1 and that the rainbow makes the statue's skirt look like Lucy Gray's when Snow looks at it.
Fun Fact: The actress playing Lucy has been dating the actor playing Snow’s friend Sejanus. They met while shooting West Side Story, which I think you two will also like. 💕🎶
Jason Schwartzman was perfectly cast as host Caesar Flickerman’s father from the original films!
This movie is just crazy. Francis Lawrence has done an incredible job and we recognize his paste with his way of creating the Hunger Games films. This saga is my favorite and is for me the best, and I would always have a preference for the first film which shows the beginning of this saga. However, this prequel surpasses the rest (my opinion).
Initially, however, I wasn't a fan of seeing Snow as the main character ! And what a mistake. The author knew how to arouse my curiosity and I felt so many things when I saw these tenth Hunger Games !
Snow has always had an evil streak and this is confirmed when he first kills the tribute in the arena and feels powerful. For him, Lucy was his way out of wealth and power. He thought he could control her, succeed in getting what he wanted, but he forgot that she was from district 12 (Covey certainly but she has the soul of a rebel). His anger towards her is such that the capitol removed all traces of the winners of the first ten Hunger Games. And the Hanging Tree music that must haunt him, my god. Best music.
What's also crazy is that every time District 12 won, it was in a rebellious way and very sneaky too.
- Lucy cheated with the help of Snow and sang the song in order to show the extent of her insolence towards the Capitol, but also the people watching.
- Haymitch won by finding a loophole (force field) and using it to his advantage to kill his last opponent and ridicule the Capitol.
- And Katniss twice (with Peeta winning) used the berries as a sign of revolt, then the following year with the dome, which started the revolution.
This film perfectly reflects the influence of certain people and the moment where Snow chooses between good and evil. Being a monster is much more rewarding than helping others (RIP his friend).
Lucy is for me the female version of Peeta :
- She doesn't want to kill.
- She helps her partner at all costs.
- She feels guilty about the deaths in the arena.
- She plays with words perfectly for the cameras (in the zoo in particular, then her final song in the arena - ALERT, it looked like the moment where Peeta announces Katniss's false pregnancy).
- She is full of intelligence and knows how to manipulate if necessary (which Peeta did in the first games with districts 1&2).
- She's an artist. Peeta he's a painter.
Thank you for your Detail coment. I agree to all of your points. Lucy Gray is the bird because she enjoy the freedom of a bird with her music. Birds like singing, intelligent, protective and they are loyal to their partner and family. They like to be in a peaceful group which they trust.
Corolianus Snow in the other hand ist the snake like Finick already said. He is underhand and kills with the poison his enemies. Snakes nearly always live alone like Snow. They attack when his victim does not know it (His friend).
I have one question to you: Could it be that Lucy survived? I mean there was no blood, only her cry. Maybe we get a second part?
Loved watching it with you. In the book Collins seduces the reader into rooting for Snow even we all know how it must end. Good story telling. Most people believe Maude Ivory, Lucy Gray's cousin, is Katniss's grandmother and that the hanging tree song was handed down to Katniss through Maude Ivory. A little 'behind the scenes', the actor who played Sejanus, Josh Rivera, is the boyfriend of Rachel Zegler (Lucy Gray) IRL.
The scene when Sejanus called everyone monsters was a great delivery
Tigris and Snow, that's a pairing you wouldn't expect to see, especially after the last movie.
Tyrion Lannister strikes again 😂
Lucy certainly got a crazy introduction, showing us just how fit she is for the Games. On the opposite end, Snow looks like he's just being thrown into the middle of things.
Viola Davis absolutely dominated every scene she was in as Dr.Volumnia.
It's really trippy, seeing how similar to Haymitch Snow is in this one, the way he coaches Lucy, how much he cares.
It feels surreal, seeing Snow fight so hard to save someone but at the same time, we can see how he's slowly losing his humanity in the process, which is ironic to say the least.
Eminem Snow 😂 that got a good laugh out of me, well done ladies!
"From lovers to enemies" - you summed it up really nicely, Magy.
These games really destroyed everyone and in the end, Snow, broken as he was, remained the only one standing.
Thank you for the epic reaction ❤
As you can see, Alex, Snow turned against his cousin in later years as he lost his humanity. Did you notice the crossover names btwn generations? Heavensbee, Crane and Flickerman.
The thing is Snow was never good. It's portrait perfectly in the book, because it's his point of view and we can actually read his thoughts. And he was never a good person to begin with. He was always egotistical and he hated Sejanus from the start, and his feelings for Lucy was more of an ownership than equal companionship.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes exceeds the very little expectations I had for this movie!
The story line was so well done. It was so neat seeing the different time setting for this movie, and seeing it from the Capitol's perspective. I have seen this movie 4 times, and every time I have watched it, I notice some small details that I missed the last time I watched it. Francis Lawrence's attention to tiny details is a reason why I love this movie so much.
The acting in this movie was spectacular! While I originally hated the decision to cast Tom Blyth as Snow (Because I personally wanted Adam Driver), he knocked it out of the park! He did such a good job at portraying so many different emotions in multiple scenes. Rachel Zegler did a great job as Lucy Gray Baird. Some of her facial expressions managed to make you tear up, and she had a lovely singing voice as well. Viola Davis arguably gave the best performance however. She was very cartoony, but very serious at the same time. Was not expecting a whole lot from her, but she stole the show IMO. Peter Dinklage is not getting enough credit for his performance IMO. His character had so many layers, and Peter did a great job at portraying all of them in multiple scenes.
While there were not a whole lot of action scenes, the film's screenplay and acting was so good, that the movie did not need very many of them. I loved the film's tone so much as well!
I do not think there needs to be another movie in the Hunger Games series. The movies have run their course, and they were all good! The only thing I would maybe like to see from this franchise, is a series about the Hunger Games that weren't shown, and see how they started, and how the games got much more complex and innovated as the years went on. It is really the only thing left this series has to offer IMO.
Overall, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a hauntingly great movie, that features stellar acting, and some great small details!
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
4 out of 4 stars
District 11 kids means so much to me every tiiime!! Thresh and Rue, Reaper and Dill, UGH
So I went into this watch having read the book. I enjoyed the movie very much. It did justice to the book. It was so nice to see your reactions to the romance, the friendships, the moral conflicts, and the horror of the games. I still have the same two questions from the book. When did his heart turn? What happened to Lucy? I like to think Lucy survived and lived a long life in District 13 or somewhere. Only Suzanne Collins can tell us for sure if she writes another book to connect the eras. As for his heart, there were clues, the conversation they had about where to live, city or country? His killing of Mayfair and definitely of Sejanus and lying to Lucy about it. Love seemed true, but trust was fragile. So it was definitely the unforgiveable lie for her. For him, snake bite?Star-crossed lovers? Great reaction, my friends. 🧲💕
When Lucy escaped and tried to kill him he feeled being betrayed. This broken him and this is moment when he got sight he answered on question about hunger games.
The movie watered down how bad Snow was in the book. He thought of soling Tigris at the beginning of the movie while waiting her with his shirt. He view Lucy Gray as no more than a pet which he believed belong to him. Hated Sejanus because he was district also sending him to his death without remorse (the scene where he "shows" remorse is just him being scared that he will die). Every "good" thing he did was always about benefiting himself. Overall he is just an absolute psychopath who cares only for power.
Soling?!
@@LifeWithHeather818 My bad. I meant "selling"
@@dimitrimitkov2499 oh okay makes sense lol
Well movie made it more complicated. Villain just being nothing but villain is boring.
Interesting because I found it hard to hate him in the movie or disagree with him at all. Makes sense they removed alot of the worse stuff.
The mayors daughter was threatening to kill them all and Snows friend was going to get them both killed.
Tbh i dont blame snow for having either of them killed. Especially the friend because he did warn him and he had no concern about the danger.
Fully agreed.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
"As long as there are those who remember what was there will always be those who are unable to accept what it can be."
"When the chips are down and these civilized people, they'll eat each other."
"Who filled my head with dreams? Who trained me hard until my bones cracked? Who denied me my destiny?"
A glass is something we drink of, symbolizing people's love and remembrance. Whenever you feel any change you either hold onto the glass for as long as you live, or let go to allow the force of gravity to shatter it in countless of fragments that all lives and spirit and dreams left completely eradicated. You couldn't replace this specific glass, as replacing anybody's love for their mothers or fathers or brothers or sisters or lovers. You start rebuilding it for as long as you keep your heart integrity or change people's story negatively.
15:10 - 15:24 The girl on the left was crying for the boy. Awww.
some people think maybe the old lady who gave katness the mockingjay pin was Lucy Gray
which is silly because if anyone has read the books you know she wasnt even a character there. the pin was a gift
Laminas fight scene was heart breaking. Honestly in that moment i wanted tj see her win
The way the weapons look here are more like the are how I envisioned them to look when I read the first Hunger Games book, way before the movies. Crude and makeshift, not chrome and tactical. I love how it's a blend of irony, humor, and poetic justice that it was a girl from District 12 who molded Snow into what he became, and it was another girl from District 12 who would be his undoing. I would like to see another book about the 25th Hunger Game, but done in a way where we have more than one person to root for. Make a lot them more fleshed instead of just a few important characters while the rest are just one-dimensional paper people.
“Who will watch the game if there’s no victor?” what snow said which also relates to Katniss’s first game
Tigris is the same woman with the tiger makeup from Mockingjay Part 2 where Katniss and her friends sought refuge in her shop.
37:25 She was literally saying that she was going to have them all killed by her father lol. What do you mean there was no need?
I love how Magy uses "Good morning", heh.
I love how sweet you two are 😭 I cried so many times during this movie!
the reactions to the buzzcut as too real LMAO
The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes is the perfect masterpiece haunting origin tale showing the downfall of president snow. What a masterful job at taking the book and adapting it to the screen. The cinematography is excellent. Tom Blyth is a star and rachel zegler embodies Lucy Gray.
Hello Magy 🙂 great to see that Hunger Games after long time came back with backstory of their own , and this time in the center of the movie is younger Coriolanus Snow himself , while watching each intense minute of the movie , i was seeing how slowly Snow from kind boy becoming a villain , i hope it will be a sequel , just like it was with Jenifer Lawrence as leading actress in Hunger Games trilogy 🙂 is it worth to wait ? 🙂 yes it is , that's why i love backstories while watching the movies 🙂
Coriolanus Snow = Anakin Skywalker
Same kind of downfall, all to save a woman he cared about.
I feel like
Anakin is a little bit better ( à better person)
@@laurine____7543 but stupid
Snow not fallen to save her he fallen when she stoped trusting him.
Killing leads to killing. Coriolanus Snow got caught up in it.
And every Capable person starts as "virtuous" in some respect.
(Remember the story of Lucifer (or Satan), the fallen Angel?)
The flag scene had me crying
I loved your reaction! Have you two ever reacted to the TV series Firefly? It has a huge following and I think that you would love it! It's from about 20 years ago and there was 14 episodes plus a movie that was shown in theaters a few years later because the fans wanted the show back.
I'd like to think that Lucy Gray fleed from Snow because he was cray cray lol, and she's probably up in Canada FAR AWAY from him living her cottagecore fantasies 😝
You two definitely need to watch the remake of West Side Story it stars the girl who played Lucy Gray and the guy who played Baby in Baby Driver.
9:25 I just understand the logic of having her grab the paper. The paper had the scent of the author, so if snow grabbed it, he would of been safe.
There's always two sides of the coin when it drops in snow heads or tales 😂
😢Tigris was Snow's cousin. And he later had her maimed into a Tiger. This cruelty against a loved one is so hard to handle. Blew my mind.
I want Mags and Shell at the same time 😈💀💯 sheesh!
Please watch Maze Runner, its 3 films and its INCREDIBLE
Its incredible example of plot hole and twisted "morale".
Where can you already watch the movie? Is it stream able?
Thank you very much for your reaction to this movie.
37:56 Actually there was no choise. His friend become reckless and doomed himself anyway. Question was only will Snow die with him or not.
Its always easy to discuss about good and evil and acceptable costs sitting on comfortable safe sofa...
well no, not really. no one would've found out had snow not done that, and sejanus could've run away from panem without harming anybody and lived like they were planning to.
@@bella-je5yc As we seen in movie he failed because someone invited major daughter. There was no way to avoid death after this.
Rebels would die in any case. Snow just did necessary thing to not die with them.
Love this movie 😍 better than old movies and more entertaining
Next movie should be EVENT HORIZON.
Happy Birthday beautiful LAURA, feliz cumpleaños LAURA preciosa hermosa ❤❤
I wouldnt call Sejanus, Snow friend, not matter the appearances, Snow was using him since the beginning.
Katnis and Lucy are not realited though they are a lot alike I agree. Then again when the other books are written and they make more movies that might change but for now they are not connected as for Lucy? Her fate stays unknown even in the book so it seems. I do like this movie and Viola Davis playing the game master was unexpected though I don't recognize her...only her voice haha. I like seeing how snow started off and how he became the way he is now as well though a part of me wishes he could stay a good man as it were.
this is the best reaction ever
Awesome reaction of my favorite The Hunger Games movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
It was a good sequel, just the pacing seemed wrong. Could of made it a two part movie.
Magy, Try to watch next time the movie "Pursuit of Happiness"
make The Descent movie next part 1 and 2 you will love it.! 2005 - 2009
oh yes please.
A question for Magy.
What made you decide to take on a second person to react with you, instead of still watching by yourself?
No offense to Laura. I like your reactions just as much as I did before.
She already answered this in a video. She has wanted a friend to react with for ages, she she thinks it’ll be more fun and better content
@@liviclareThanks. I must have missed that in the video.
Have there ever been 2 more beautiful girls in history than Magic Magy and Foxy Laura? I was not too fond of the movie, but I loved the reaction.
❤❤❤
Movie suggestion - "Scary Movie 2".
That movie is crazy hilarious. lol. I love all the exorcist and i know what you did last summer parody moments.
So will you now watch Hangover Games? =)
I actually think Snow did nothing wrong his friend was still was going to do what he was going to do. His friend was going to get caught either way because one of the district guys was captured.
If snow didn’t do what he did then the peacekeepers would look into snow since he was best friend with the traitor. Snow has no credibility in the capital if he caught he can loose standing or be hanged. To me it ain’t betrayal it’s just self survival at that point when ur friend is that stupid.
Its just situation without choise. His friend was doomed anyway and refused to stop.
Great chemistry with Rachel Zegler & Tom Blyth & really enjoyed supporting roles from Dinklage, Schafer and Viola Davis was EXCELLENT as the villain.
there's no audio🥲
Not people in the comments being Coryo apologists/Sejanus haters 💀 my God what has the world come to. Coriolanus DID have a choice, he just chose to betray his one friend for power. He chose to betray Lucy Gray for power because that was his motivation all along.
His friend doomed himself by reckless actions and would die regardless of Snow actions. If Snow not "betray" him he would just die with him.
When Snow betrayed Lucy? Its she first made suspicion she intended to reveal to peacekeepers that he killed major daughter, and then she tried to kill him.
In comments I seen that in book Snow was much worse. But in movie Snow really changed only in moment when Lucy betrayed him after all sacrifices he did for her. And that explains why later Snow was always avoiding things he love to not be controlled and get caught again.
@@Velanteg So? Let him be caught if that was going to be the case. Snow had a choice to keep quiet regardless. And mind you, you're just a movie watcher so opinion invalid
@@bella-je5yc Snow had choise to keep quiet resulting they all killed or sacrifice reckless friend so at least he and Lucy can survive. He was not arrested only because it was him who did the record so he not also accused as traitor.
How choise where they all will die can be better?
Isn't you just a movie watcher?
@@Velanteg That is... certainly not what would've happened LMAOO. But again, you didn't read the books
@@bella-je5yc I dont talking about books, I am talking about movie, its different story.
Hi Beautiful girl..... react " The Neverending story "
react to peter pan 2003
A $25,000 donation to your chosen charity says you both would be unable to watch the movie Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams without crying!
Let's gooo! ❤
I hope Francis Lawrence gets to direct BIOSHOCK
Hi Magy
Y'all are just darlin
I think Lucy survived and lived a happy life, away from all the sh1t that happens in districts. Snow never loved her, for sim she was only the means to an end.
Living alone in wild nature is not much greater than in districts.
@@Velantegyou have free will in the wilderness. It’s all a matter of perspective. It’s why people believe certain tribes that still exist do live somewhat of a better life. They make their own lives. They hunt their own food, fully self sufficient, and have their one morales and values, and avoid a lot of our current worlds weakness for addition, greed and power.
@@davidfairweather3301 They lot of time for wandering in forest, drinking and dancing in bars. What they not like in their current life at all?
He was obsessed with her and she treated him like a means to an end. They both did what they did to survive. Also, she has no survival skills.
Snow is horrible from the start. This is not a love story in the books we do have his point of view which is selfish and wicked. He is a traitor, murderer, horrible human being
Story in book written for 14 years girls. Dont need use it as example.
The variety on this channel is amazing. 🙄
😊😊😊😊
I love this movie so much
Fail army react
Hi Maggy how are you and this video was so amazing keep up the good work I love you so much as my wife babe
no te quise ofender perdona otra vez
a!! no hablo ingles
You are so gorgeous woman
I think in compare to the other 3 panem movies it's kinda weak ^^'
But I still think you won't regret if you start watch the One Piece Anime, you will experience the rollercoaster of emotions so much you never belive it :)
It is not even close to the first Hunger trilogy.
It’s not supposed to be since it’s about 60 years prior
Rachel Zagler is a decent actress
Just hope Snow White doesn't ruin her
Terrible movie. Especially the cast
I dont watch this movie out of principle, because the main actress is racist.
No she is not, she cant be
Nope, just a entitled spoiled demanding douchebag to pay her by the hour for wearing snow white dress. That's the equivalent of prostitution women asking to get paid for being in their sexy outfits.@@laurine____7543
@@laurine____7543 I hope its sarcasm?
If you dont like actors you still can watch, just dont pay.=)
What no she wasn't and it was proven she wasn't
