I'm currently in the process of rewatching The Hunger Games movies, and honestly, I have to be so real "If it weren't for the baby" is my Roman empire. I think about it constantly.

Especially the way they did it in the movie (I'm obsessed with Josh Hutcherson)

THE DELIVERY.

Haymitch's little toast.

The audience SHRIEKING.

Everything about it, I think about it all the time.

My partner and I recently finished watching TBOSAS (I’ve read the book beforehand, she haven’t) and her first thought after the movies was: “wow Snow really loved Lucy, if she hadn’t betrayed him they would’ve been just fine. Guess what you love *is* what destroys you most huh” and I’m wondering if that’s an average person’s take after only watching the movies and not read the book? Or did *i* missed a crucial part of the story???

me, reading this ask:

it is not a reflection on your partner's interpretation at all. i think the scariest thing about this ask is that, honestly, i think that your partner's interpretation of the movie can really be supported by the movie itself.

because the movie did not do a great job of conveying snow as the calculated, little maniac that he was. and how threatening he was to lucy gray in the lakehouse.

and i actually dislike the scene at the end of the movie where lucy gray is leaving him. because it makes it look like lucy gray is taunting him. like... 'i'm the only loose end. haha, catch me if you can'. it makes her seem really strong and conniving as a character, so i think that is why they made that interpretation.

but that is just not the reality of the book. in the end, snow was a rabid boy and lucy gray was the trapped girl. that doesn't make lucy gray any less powerful as a character-- rather, it makes her human. she just wants to survive and she is going to try to run from that situation.

in the book, she isn't taunting snow or revealing how she is a liability to him. all of those conclusions are being made by snow and she is just smart enough to run away from him before he figures it out.

so, no you did not miss a big part of the book. and also, i would argue that your partner's interpretation is somewhat supported by the movie.

overall, i really enjoyed that movie, but that one scene really bothered me from the moment i left the theater.

ballad of songbirds and snakes so far is just suzanne going “seems you missed the point the first time. let me fucking spell it out for you: reaping day is on the fourth of july.”
