10th Hunger Games - Blog Posts
Spoilers ahead!
Okay I finally got to watch the movie on Saturday and I've had time to process.
The brutality of the deaths really showed how horrific it was for both the Capitol and the Districts at the time. And slowly sensationalizing the games was portrayed really well. Lucky Flickerman was the forefront of the desensitization within the Capitol.
Hunter Schafer was amazing as Tigress, she was truly eye-catching and her last line in the move was...rough to say the least. I was genuinely heartbroken for her, after all her efforts to make sure Coriolanus didn't go down the dark path, it's the utter defeat when she said the line.
Rachel and Tom have amazing chemistry, just like the books, I was rooting for them until the second portion of the 3rd act. Would definitely petition for them to star in a RomCom or something just happier.
Josh gave the most wonderfully heart-breaking performance as Sejanus, I have no notes.
The songs are a bop, and next time I read the book again, 100% reading it with them in mind.
The foreshadowing of Katniss throughout the movie was awesome to see. Also Snow being left with his thoughts for two seconds and having a complete meltdown is so on brand.
The fashion of the Capitol was so wild to see, as they were dressed so "normal" like you would instantly be like "I would wear that," in contrast to the original trilogy shows how vapid and vile the Capitol became x2. Cause the classism and elitist mentality is already there.
Things I wish were added:
The first kiss the night before the games, I think for me it was both a emotional point, as these two have been bonding and falling for each other slowly, they might never see each other and I feel like it should've stayed.
Just more Clemmie in general.
I don't know why I jus really would've like to see Snow and the Covey interacting. Especially him and Maude Ivory more.
But overall this movie was amazing, and I felt a wave of nostalgia hit when I was watching it. Being immersed back into this world, and its complexities. And today my sister and I watched the first hunger games movies again, and I was just thinking about all the parallels, genuinely so cool and well done.
Is it just me or does "Carolina" by Taylor Swift really suit Lucy Gray Baird?
Lucy Gray Baird
Also known as Songbird
In love with her songs
Tigris Snow
I can’t find words that would describe how much I loved her character and how Hunter Schafer is a perfect casting for this role.
