I've got the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes sountrack stuck in my head and I whenever I hear Pure as the Driven Snow I think about Coriolanus' and Lucy Gray's relationship deteriorating

The song is all about how innocence was stripped off of Lucy Gray, and yet how she tries to find beauty and goodness in the world around her, even in Coriolanus. Movie-only fans won't know that the song mentions The Coven having to turn ice into water during the winter because it froze over, and how Lucy Gray wanted to include Coryo in daily activities such as milking goats to get butter. That after Coriolanus went after her with a gun, he was bitter that just the day earlier he was "pure as the driven snow", but that trust evaporated because he wasn't honest with her.

What always kills me is the line, "You asked for a reason, I've got three and twenty for why I trust you". It was so hard for Lucy Gray to trust anybody, it was harder to her to trust than to love, and yet she trusted Coriolanus. (Coriolanus, of all people.) She believed that they would escape together, make a life for each other in the North. She trusted him, and then figured out that he was responsible for the death of his supposed best friend. She escaped to save herself from someone who she was sure loved her.

Another thing that kills me is the line "The world goes blind when children are dying". When I was reading The Hunger Games series as a kid, I felt deeply for each one of the tributes. 23 kids killed of for entertainment purposes? Back then, it felt surreal. I didn't have the evidence of everyone turning their eyes away from the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. I didn't see dying people every day on the screen of my phone, and I didn't see people voting 'no' to a ceasefire. When Lucy Gray sings those words, she means kids dying in the Hunger Games, but I saw innocent Palestinians.

The song also comments on our moralty and how it's our choice to follow it. "Everyone's born as clean as a whistle, as fresh as a daisy and not a bit crazy. Staying that was is a hard row for hoeing. As rough as a briar, like walking through fire."

Suzanne just never misses with her commentary.

Lots of people might disagree with me, but Paris not getting into Harvard makes a lot of sense. She was obsessed. She didn’t live a life, she only studied, it was sickening for her to be like that. Sometimes in life you don’t get what you desperately want for a reason. It may not be the time for you to get it or/and you have some growing up to do. Paris says that the reason she didn’t get in was her interview, she scared them. She was putting so much pressure on herself and so much of her self worth into getting in that when she didn’t, she fell apart. It was similar to Rory and Mitchum. Paris, however, after she didn’t get what she worked years for, went a different path and figured that she needed to become better (not stealing a yacht). She stayed focused and determined, but was less sharp and started taking in new opportunities. Later, she did get in, at the right time. It all worked fine and the rejection helped her become someone better.

I love how useless ladybug and chat noir are at the last fight against gabe. yk if adrien wasnt his own son he wouldve won. It feels good to see a powerful villain in the end of a film and also he akumatized himself so that does a fantastic job of showing how disturbed he was.
