cuz nobody else has even bother it to show up yeah I like you a lot she’s running the show the game makers did tell you to jump in the cage with them they just said that it was a mentor’s job to introduce our tributes to the citizens of panm if Lucy gray is brave enough to be here then why shouldn’t I be too for the record I didn’t have a choice yep that’s important to note so come down to the zoo and see these tributes before it’s too late and I mean too late before they’re
dead I’m lucrecias lucky flickerman that is a hell of a trick yeah how’d you do that I mean she seems very capable and I she kind of treats it like she’s getting exposure yeah for her music career yes she’s been planning this great way to get some followers your little Excursion is in violation of about five different Academy rules Mr snow you I’m moving for the game makers to disqualify you as Mentor immediately wow what a jerk and you ucing her to people you make it look as if one and the same as those animals
a tributes are human beings just like us shut up dude you’re harshing the vibe snow fell down in the cage down in the cage but wow what is she doing everything maybe one day you’ll be a game maker like me what are the hunger games for they’re to punish the districts for their Uprising they’re for Ratings commemorate the end of the war commemorate the dull dull dull punishment can take Myriad forms we need the emotion we be asking ourselves whether or not they’re right in the first place we have a problem with my game were
2 years old when the war ended the oldest of them were only eight you’re not going to be a good Mentor yeah the capital is supposed to be everyone’s government now it is supposed to protect all of us now making children fight each other to the death is protecting anyone that sort of sympathy might interfere with your mentoring assignment maybe s Janus is on to something here maybe we should be viewing those tributes as human beings what I just wanted to get to know Lucy gray like wanting to get to know a lion yeah doesn’t
mean you let him to make the stakes personal who will watch the games if they care what happens to the tributes everyone I watched American Idol people need someone to root for and someone to root against against we need them to invest and if we bend a few Capital laws we could even have them place bets wow you really instrumented everything yeah a whole vision for how this could be even better and even worse how to create engagement with the hunger canes I’d like you to write up a proposal of these thoughts tonight Mr snow
wait you you might you might actually use his ideas if it’ll help the ratings why not corus and I are class Partners we do all of our assignments to what a snake jeez dude it’ll be an interesting test I mean what’s the har they’re saying The Hunger Games aren’t working so you got to try something different yeah why not emotional investment this is the future right they should learn their lessons from prior marketing tips yeah but why does this experience leave him so cold my classmate back in too it’s not your fault to I know
I’m so blameless I’m choking on it father bought him for me you know at the raping just so he could show me that I could never go back to T your father sounds like a yeah but being capital is going to kill me so do something about it eat this bread eat your bread sandwich quite the rebel I am I’m bad news don’t waste your time the boy’s bad news is that for us it’s lber spread I’m not hungry you think I can’t hear your stomach growling just a big you can’t eat pred alone man
what happened to his neck bat bot oh first night on the train he thought i’ give him superpowers man bat he didn’t sleep away the whole journey cuz he was keeping the bats off me so I get some rest what the what one thing I learned in 12 is that hunger is a weapon your friend over there sure knows it that’s why I keep all the host here starving yeah I might have a chance to help you I might even be able to get the audience to send you gifts in the arena food and water
to keep you going microphones a recording studio you just have to try singing again to win people over I don’t sing when I’m told I sing when I have something to say we’ll find something to say the guards say you get money if you get more people to watch and you say you want to help me which is it both yes by helping you it helps him you seem like a good man Corina snow you have no idea you’re a good man Draco Malfoy sure would have been nice to meet you under different circumstances one
of your shows maybe yeah you could have had a drink oh could have done it yeah knock boots wow dude oh yeah go for it Jesus who that was great whoa it’s okay hold on hold on look at me hold on it’s okay I’ll get out this is not going to help your whole thing with Jesus yep so she did and the narrative will make it look like that a Savage killed her yeah this is how we Begins the war it was my fault I suggested we get closer to the tribute it wasn’t your fault
she sh like a this was bound to happen somehow she’s not a rebel Grand she’s just a girl trust me that one hasn’t been a girl in a long time wow oh is she hunter from Euphoria I’ve been wondering she looks familiar she will use you you must use her or you’ll end up dead in the trees like your father yesh such like a soap opera whatever we cut to anyone who’s not part of the the players in The Hunger Games yeah you’re in like the most Gody places dealing with like the most Upper Crust
issues yeah half these people probably do have like a missing twin brother back from the dead our president has decided that the games must go on of course show everyone the capital is unafraid of such acts of Terror that be given into Rebellion later this evening there will be a special telev presentation of each tribute to our audience to you know get to know them have an hour to discuss strategy I love how he just playing Tyrion again I know just an American accent Tyrion dress like a freaking monk you may begin I like his
attitude though it’s is funny there’s like a divide between him and col and but he’s probably going to end up more like him than the others yeah I’m going to win and for that to happen we need to make you more marketable attractive we need a glow up for you oh rule number one cover your mouth people really ain’t old up that are you okay wearing my mama’s dress is the only thing keeping me together here it’s like she’s wrapping her arms around me I cannot tell how sincere she is or if she is intentionally
playing him yeah I need you to sing in these interviews later it’s the night before the games and your last chance to win people cheapers this move’s quick can’t send you gifts in the arena without their money maybe a guitar could persuade Me Maybe you really want to take care of me in that Arena corus give me a fender start by thinking I can actually win no death coat I know for some reason Rachel zaggler is a controversial figure but I think she’s the best part of this movie oh yeah I mean she’s really I
don’t know yeah she’s just full of this uniquely specific distinct pointed life yeah oh these are the creatures in early devel early in development that they would put in the games yeah come and see my new babies so she is like an evil scientist yeah my laboratory straight out of a cartoon DD I know she was just back there stealing Ariel’s voice real quick and now she’s in here your proposal which one of you actually wrote it well there was was inspired by corus yesterday of course his little wedding idea yeah yeah so it’s your

retr futurist yeah and it feels appropriately like in the past of the familiar world but still futuristic to now yeah it’s pretty cool just nothing beats Jennifer Lawrence fing at the mouth in tears for a whole trilogy you know yeah yeah yeah you know it’s the real heart and soul of the games but hey man maybe Rachel Ziggler break down and do like a crazy ass crying scene she’s great I love her character no ideaone else just about her I love her she you’re alive they have them sleep out there yeah I guess so there’s
no other like doors or anything there’s a hole down in the floor leads down to some tunnels I’ve tried it and you can disappear down there what moment you hear that bell rang you ignore the weapons in the middle and you run as fast as you can for that hole wow I can’t let you die I love you you saved me let secret maybe she saved you because she knew she needed you still hopeful during the daytime but when it gets darks okay when it gets dark I’ll suum to the darkness me it’s okay I

seems so much kind of sharper and and kind of detached from the of this than anyone else it is not a gift it’s alone don’t touch it don’t even breathe it in because small amounts can be deadly and there will come a time when you need this when you need to act we all do things we’re not proud of to survive yeah is Lucy gray doing that we going to win this she C this a different shot of her we’re going to win this together it’s the electric company Hunger Games Hunger Games chapter two oh
got a yellow flower today that friend of yours plin you might want to find him a seat near the door whoa cuz he’s about to be called out put on blast I’m lucious lucky flickerman oh he’s perfect CU you can still see he’s trying to prove himself yeah in my hand an envelope my prediction the winner to be opened by me upon the Big Show’s end but how old Stanley Tui supposed to be how long of a glow up was that really how much plastic surgery did he have done enjoy the show I do like
like Rachel Z is my favorite colon Iris colonoscopy snow is great he’s he’s good I do feel like we still needed some stronger scenes with them before I feel like we need feel a little bit by the Numbers they with them glue to stick all this together but specifically between the two of them yeah was the part where I’m like I know where the plot’s going but it kind of just seems like the mov like we know where the plot’s going but they’re not there a little more meat on it yeah or that way I’m
like o I hope I hope she’s not using I want to I’m more just like I don’t know I wonder instead of like oh I hope more time to test their actual relationship through other means or or like have other things intervene that force them to act off the cuff yeah cuz that’s like the core heart of the struggle here the real conflict and I do like how like downscaled these games feel by comparison uh yeah by a lot they’re in one room oh no a symbol out of him yeah Marcus guess we can all
sleep better now knowing he’s off the streets oh he’s going to lose his yeah you’re monsters all of you I’m on your side I thought he was the kid from strangers when we saw the trailer he does look like thought it was the whole time game mazzo shouts out 2 1 sing O then the movie get begin yeah what are you doing FR nah man she can’t leave her dude behind oh how barbaric this wide angle lens too it’s just like a Royal Rumble in here yeah who nice yesh ah Trident what’s his name oh
the bow and arrow so many Easter eggs that was an instant vomit seems like it’s going to be a very short Hunger Games oh Jesus jeez just wandering around over there wow what a great shot I killed a man with a trident Rick killed a guy uhoh oh what you’re seeing now is a live feed of security cameras come on oh boy oh boy high and soft NE other side pining in on Lucy graay pining very tactical oh she can squeez through can Jessup damn it dude pull him ah no no no no kick him
kick his faceing high oh you can feel that like what the hell happened her where they stab her I would have stabbed her right in the butt this my one opportunity see what this is like six tributes gone in minutes if they keep it up at this page we’re going to be out of here in no time wow oh my dude is he asking for death yeah send your money now once they get your money Mentor can choose to send in food or water reprogrammed with facial recognition this shures that your package goes directly to
your tribute isn’t that right Pap Herington yeah yeah the hell out of my face the first drone oh cut her hand off wow yeah what the they did not master drone technology hey the facial recognition do it did its thing so we don’t have to worry about that anymore what do you want from that girl nothing I want her to live and the plen prize would be a happy coincidence I suppose I believe I’d be entitled to it prize the girl how convenient you don’t have to choose between them ouch who do you think makes
that final decision for the prize you so covet Mr snow wake up even if Lucy gy beard somehow wins it all I will do everything in my power to Ure that you don’t see a dime why do he have against this guy yeah what’ he do to you how much how much do you care if she lives now more is that the answer more what did you sacrifice to make sure she could live and then she betrayed you I just want to S oh boy you know what’s in that water what have you done to
it I didn’t do anything Jess you okay I did I did Endeavor to save you and to share this space with you s breadcrumbs I believe sustenance for a fallen comrade on his final journey of District 2 Superstition whoa I need someone to get him out right now you should send peacekeepers in only to have him bolt and hide like a rabbit ug Felix Raven steal his fighting for his life in a hospital Mr snow I will not have these Rebels make a further mockery of my games oh you get them out unscathed I whisper
your name in his father’s ear uh-oh and he has more power than Peter Dinklage I’ll freeze the feed for an hour I estimate that’s all we have until the people notice whoa all the manipulations and minations of high society I think Gary Ross directed the first Hunger Games movie and Francis Lawrence directed the rest and I kind of feel like this needs a touch of what Gary Ross’s Direction was yeah where you really feel like you’re there on ground observing this yeah I think I need a little bit of that grit that Gary Ross brings
but this movie does prove that you can continue on The Hunger Games movies and World Without You Know Jennifer Lawrence yeah you still make this is still like an interesting film yeah and you know you get your social commentary in there sort of same social commentary the other ones more overt slightly updated to include drones and facial recognition technology I mean no they they just dro Dro drones in the they did the drones in the other one this is like the origin of it yeah or something right they Che them yeah they have those little
like thingies that’ll bring you stuff they work you need to go Coro I promise to get you up I have to do this I had to go where the cameras are you think anyone’s watching this do you want to fight these tributes or fight for them because if you want to make real change you need to stay alive how can I make any change from out there you’re rich you’re the only one who stood up to go in that class right yeah you got to lead the Rebellion out there dog better hurry up man come
with me spend your father’s money do some real good I’ll just be another dead body in Gs one trust me come on man go go oh jeez wow enjoy the show oh my God you can’t you can’t kill him yeah oh no I don’t want to hurt you yeah dude in the face dog oh he mad whoa dude this is bad this is very bad move over the gate oh maybe theate maybe that was a hint of the disdain that he actually does feel towards them my father my father let the buying begin I feel
so bad for these spoiled Rich Kids yes who clearly understand the full extent of the system within the which they exist it’s weird when the people from The Districts got when the people from The Districts first got reeled in they were portrayed as humans now that the games started they portrayed as like Savage villains what the just happened or is it intention that when you switch perspectives of that you know I don’t know you get what I mean they stop being human and all us they were just Savages yeah yeah yeah where they all just
kind of feel like a big gang of like rabid feral people villains yeah no I did definitely I I remember in the other movies like them having this sort of you know nasty gang mentality here and there but yeah it felt like we were fighting morlocks just now yeah see how quickly civilization disappears yeah fight or flight those tributes don’t have a choice I was talking about you oh all your fine manners education background she witnessed she witnessed with the club who beats another boy to death to stay alive yeah was a test you want
to protect people Mr snow protect the games to govern them like your father oh and it’s essential you accept what human beings are animals and what it takes to control them television oh oh got to make enough Hunger Games money to save the rec center they sent me into the Arena tonight tigers are you okay I killed one of the tributes damn and it felt like a release powerful oh yeah look out you got your first taste I’m going back in yeah I got to get back in there you don’t have to pay the same
price just to survive people can be good you can be good you are good okay it’s your villain origin story man something scintilating occurred bobin from District slaughtered wow people cheering they aren’t showing us what happened to that little boy he clearly was killed right there there’s cameras everywhere they said there were old cameras liy probably just another one of corals Fus sit down they haven’t moved an inch or hunger dementia what’ you do to me ly what is he doing something’s wrong he he wouldn’t turn on her like what did you do to me
what did who do to you someone must have done something folding it in itself wait look the phone I think it’s rabies oh my rabies it makes you afraid of water send him a drone scar him yes away from her oh my Vick’s going for her community pad early I don’t have any idea fly a drone right into him what’s wrong with me I guess that’s what I mean is like here they specify oh oh yeah oh and then we offered her water yeah like Mary Magdalene oh look out yeah they specify drones from the
war here I feel like that’s that’s more pointed oh yeah well that’s the thing is they do have like gladiator weapons too like at least inspired by the different casts of Gladiators in ancient Rome packing it in Lucy gray swarmed cornered M propeller sending a drone his community I’m going to flood the room hey Crow do you mind if I take this one not a chance wow wow Jesus hey free water water hydrate they must have should have stipulated something it’s a that’s a little too much involvement I think yeah develop the telepathic link it’s
a terrible hiding spot yeah it’s not a good high ground do now oh me she seems like a good person yesh oh that trident is very effective whoa oh damn so smart oh you’re cruel oh you real cruel I legit get out of these balls wake up grab and put a little wake up let me go up here they’ll want to get their water yeah what she can stab through that oh damn did you get a finger in there you really think you deserve that water now Tanner let’s all share the water look you just
said watch the beam H Coro it’s w a what oh no why did she step out yeah come on now seven tributes remain that’s annoying oh she’s going to try to drink the water damn it oh that is sad he’s just going to lay down what happened maybe they’ll all just have a sip of the water and just all over I got to hydrate my brain so I can think straight how could they not be viewed as humans before I don’t know well I mean that’s what classism does to you as long as there is

just like you said a it’s good to see you smile man I cheated save Lucy Gray from the snakes and I do it again do you think they killed her she was a big hit if there is a games next year they’re probably going to invite her to sing at the opening ceremony a she’s going to love that when the girl you risked everything for might be waiting for you at the end of this trap my friend don’t give them the satisfaction your life has just begun you’re going to do great she has a whole
family name yeah how does a guy like this climb back in power I mean he must wind up being some in some unique position to mediate between the furthest reaches of the rebellion and the innermost core of society must exploit something welcome to 12 for the next many years brothers and sisters in your immediate Squad will become your family you will train together sleep together eat together you will rise together and you will fall together touch yourselves together and it will be your duty to report anything suspicious you see because if you do not you
are as good as a rebel yourself Burn Gorman a peacekeeper and two mind bosses were shot dead that this man all out chance is guilty oh run run ah you’re murderer the birds are listening spy Birds yeah jabber what were you thinking back there she didn’t do anything Coro what do she kill to you being directly associated with Rebels if she had gotten through the crowd I don’t think I would have been able to shoot her you need to find a way to make peace with our life here now W H’s giving us all leave
passes for the weekend boost morale we’re going to Hogs me yeah they need a morale boost yeah these guys clearly downtrodden yeah does make sense though like he would this whole experience allowed him to get the most involved with understanding the full breadth of the whole society from Top how to govern well how to govern over yeah how to Wrangle and maintain oh there’s music Lucy Great Bear could be here here cuz we’re planning on heating it up a let’s go no one here we go get that new guitar you need a bird you need
like a hummingbird or a dove like there a lot of bird themed guitars I bet you never expected to lay eyes on me again and let me tell you that goes both ways but I am back oh come on y’all you know I gave up drinking when I was 12 I wonder if she’s been brainwashed or like controlled by the capital in some way yeah leveraged and or more likely leveraged than indoctrinated but yeah oh she got a great voice God damn all them blue not like every song she’s been given yeah when she’s going
to bring that Soulful bluesy quality with like Broadway Precision are these original songs I don’t know if they yeah I don’t know like they sound like they could be just like you know songs passed down it’s go take I feel like the lyrics kind of suggest that it’s a it’s an original song like written recently but it sound like they could be about her it could be about they could be about snow like Snow’s perspective get that accordion boy oh Jesus swear you wouldn’t play with them again Billy to B Jesus oh dude save the
accordion ow I know you missed me Luc keep your hands off me right now oh that’s the xoh uhoh uhoh I will snake I will oh dude yeah get off get off what are you crazy come on we got here wow was that close to her this is really interesting there’s like three different movies in here yeah each Act own little movie each chapter really interesting around the Hanging Tree swaying in the breeze I love every kind of song she was given yeah still got one foot in the arena God how beautiful the country there
is a bit of like a classic southern tale they tell with her breaking their rules saving your life but I gave them my last scent so that I could come here to 12 because I had to try to find you cuz I love you my Dean he told me the strangest thing he said he was glad that I survived you what ouch I didn’t have a choice that little girl D I know I thought it’d be one of the others maybe you are not a killer Lucy gr yes I am did what I had to
do you’re safe I don’t trust anything around her there are no bars preventing you now your Peacekeeper friends I’ll handle this hey they can’t see us together there’s a lake out in the woods a nobody knows much of it except usby meet me here tomorrow we’ll go it’ll be our special place it’s a romantic drama between them it’s funny it’s it would have been cool to see some of this perspective on her life in the earlier part of the story but I get why you can’t really put it there but I feel like it might
have been a good thing to do earlier on for her character figured you’d be a while so I decided to Spore town with Billy to who’s the other guy with him I remember that the academy watching watch everyone oh carefully choosing when the way in are you trying to help these people don’t you think they need help they lost the war s Janice before they started that made your family Rich throw away any chance I might have of getting home someday just because you feel a bit guilty good point turn coming I wrote this song
about me oh my God they’re in like casual garb one by the Drone Just Hits him the Forbidden Love red on black friend to Jack I guess she just wasn’t using him or something I guess not it’s just an actual romance between them D I’m going to get the soundtrack yes it’s great I love I love the songs Mocking Jays we call them mocking everyone cheered in the theater stood up and threw their po that’s part one and that’s part two I’m sure she’s out there somewhere she’s a Survivor but it’s a mystery sweetheart just
like me whenever you look down in the sand and see one set of footprints Lucy gray was carrying you the whole time would you really go back though if you could to the capital I have to you have no idea ug but I hope you’ll come back with me capital’s not for me is it civilized has Ord The Hunger Games are order yeah what cuss of course not what if this was our life corus not here it’s not coralus it’s Slim Shady now I got a new name all right it’s a little early at M

those guns were the only loose end besides the four of us so we’re going to be okay not a word okay okay at the end of the day he’s only going to look out for himself it’s like that Mentor ship slingshotted him into just being a manipulator and a plotter H is losing his mind mind the mayor’s daughter got shot in her boyfriend too he’s sending out every grunt we’ve got to find the guns that did it oo my palms are sweaty on my uniform already we shall find their murder weapons if the killers are

wanted to say goodbye be targets without me I’ll come with you I just learned Hoff is sending me to tube for officer training but none of that matters now you were going to leave it’s all PanAm as soon as they find that gun they’ll hang me no matter which district I’m in I think we got one 3 years I fought for the capital during the war oh I was going to let someone else take it this is the first time I felt ashamed oh get the other one up here yeah it’s a big old Gap
there Capital has received word via Jabba J that these two men conspire to break into our basis jail and flee North a you messed up dude expect this of a reel but not from one of our own this is treas does he know who that’s who’s his son is the leader Spruce he wants to get his sister Lil out of jailon Base oh that is bad oh wow they played it but they they didn’t play his a part of the Audio I feel like everything post The Hunger Games of this has been the most interesting
this is the part that’s breathing the most and also like doing something completely different from the other ones yeah yeah dude you like straight up betrayed him yeah dude this is all on you this man is like Master at sneaking I know there’s a whole bunch of dudes around I love the songs in this movie they are all so good and they they’ve naturally found a way to like weave them through the whole thing and it’s like not quite a musical but still kind of cuz like it’s yeah it’s such a strong element there’s emotion
to it man there’s movement it’s like completely rooted in the story and it creates a tone to the film yeah it’s rooted in her emotion sure will be nice not to have to kill anyone else up north though huh three’s enough for me dude why that phrase who’s the third what person you killed lanus he said you killed three people I only know about two do not lie to me oh yeah my old self I killed him so I could come with you clever yeah speak poetic she don’t buy it though very clever man we’re
going to need food let’s catch some fish while we’re here storm clouds gathering over your relationship if you want to fish there’s rods under the floorboards I brought you this delicious bass it break to you guys there’s I like I I like them both individually they’re is a lack of like romantic chemistry with them though yeah it’s like fine it’s like passing great you know but I really feel like this has to be compelling yeah you got to like love the romance enough that it’s going to be completely heartbreaking when the inevitable happens the one
you fired at Mayfair Spruce must have known about this place if we destroy that gun you’re free you can go back home no besides me ug you wouldn’t tell anyone of course not song birds for singing I’m just going to go dig up some catness yeah down by the lake thought it was too early for that the world changes awful fast that grin it’s still raining well I’m not made out of sugar I would love if this just became an evil dead movie right now St was in there with the guns he did it come
you’ll see m a scarf I do like the trajectory of oh my god wow damn is that poisonous I said are you trying to kill me after everything I’ve done for you he did do a lot for you it’s turning into like a tense domestic threr yeah there the movies doing something really interesting where he starts off as like you know that pompous arrogant first class and then the more he becomes like the dark villain the more human he actually seems yeah you watch him flirt with the different ideologies until finally we get here but
he seems like more like a guy now than he did at the beginning even though he’s worse yeah he’s like becoming like full a villain wow what a shot went right for for it wow uhoh something to remember you by that’s enough Lucy great I said birds whistling along is it a recording I don’t know I guess must be oh oh that’s what I spend my time doing in Red Dead Redemption damn Birds he got to shoot the birds it’s like the saturation tone down there then Jason comes upks it’s the only thing we haven’t
done with Friday the 13th yet Jason gets a gun gummy berry juice I mean he got rid of the loose ends of the guns but he would need to kill her yeah especially now how’s the arm private medic said you took quite a bite nothing that I won’t have forgotten about by the time I reached tomb there’s been a change of plan private snow what we’re creating a special district and putting you in it it’s 15 congratulations Mr snow you’ve passed all my tests so you’ll be studying under me now at the Capital University what

picked up but before I take you under my wing after everything you’ve seen out there in the real world let me ask you one final time what are The Hunger Games about what are the Hunger Games for I used to think that the Hunger Games Were punishment for the district then I thought they served as a warning to us here in the capital about the threat the districts posed little bit each now I know the whole world is an arena and we need the Hunger Games to remind us all who we truly are we need
the annual Purge who are you do you determine the Victor welcome home Mr snow wow the world is The Hunger Games you look just like your father corus in the end he became his father and we know what she thinks of his father we know she wasn’t talking about the clothes he was wearing talkinging about the hate in his eyes your Twisted Soul wake up sanus plint personal effects from District 12 what’s going going to return this to his parents tonight as a gift would have been his 19th birthday but I think they would prefer
just this H Jesus best friends forever you grew a heart in the districts no not in the districts in The Hunger Games I should be thanking you credit for the Hunger Games goes to your father half of it at least I only jumed them up as an assignment whoa oh no oh my God I was drunk devise a punishment for our enemies so extreme they will never forget how badly they’ve wronged us no one could actually agree when I sobered up I wanted it destroyed but your father my best friend sto from me wow damn

top God damn right got to respect the game yeah that’s true respect the game don’t knock the hustle oh no Peter Dinklage man he did seem like he wanted it the from very beginning or like yeah surrender find your peace whoa that was a good effect actually the way they made him go like cold and purple and bruis around the eyes yeah it’s really good color fading from his face snowfall symbolism he’s changed the entire weather pattern of the capital soon this Fountain will be covered in ice and a rainbow of Destruction per it’s the
things we love most D Tri us oh look out and you love Lucy gray the theme awesome we did it we made it wow all right reject Nation so today I want to share something with you that has been a wonderful addition to my health and fitness journey that I discovered during the holidays and that is liquid IV’s hydration multiplier I’m down to my very last packet and I’m freaking out but it’s okay I got more in the mail now a lot of you have been so kind to notice how I’ve been working on my
physical health thank you for all the compliments and one thing I learned is that proper hydration is absolutely crucial especially post-workout and pre-filming after post-workout and my wife actually introduced me to this product which is perfect because we not only care about quality but a good taste and quality product whether it’s after a sweaty workout or just after you know a good night out you know what I’m saying efficient hydration and replenishing electrolytes is key you just feel better and it tastes fantastic I can’t emphasize that enough another thing I’m always on the lookout for
too is products that have zero sugar or zero sugar added because that’s one of my main dietary restrictions throughout the week and they of course got products that fit that description that also tastes good too so yes thank you so much so liquid IVs hydration multiplier is in summary is they are non-GMO electrolyte drink that delivers hydration into your bloodstream faster and more efficient than water alone sometimes drinking a whole gallon is not always efficient but in fact it can provide the same hydration as drinking two to three bottles of water I’m also big on
efficiency plus it’s packed with the love essential vitamins and we know vitamins are good for the body it’s vegan soy free gluten- free and dairy free you can customize the water amount to your taste again perfect for post night recovery traveling or just having a big night out you know what I mean no so if you want a booster support for the channel and booster hydration game go to liquid i.com and use promo code Rejects at checkout that’s liquid i.com promo code Rejects and remember liquid IV it’s not a real IV sure feels like it
so stay hydrated stay healthy and let’s keep crushing those health and fitness goals together in the year 2024 all righty well well reject Nation uh if you’re listening to us on Apple or Spotify we just literally moment to go finish watching Hunger Games Ballad of song birds and snake all righty well um before going into it my expectations were they were tampered well like there was a good trailer and then there were not great reviews mixed reviews I would say but then a really good audience score and then the box office ended up picking up
on it so I was like all right well this sets my expectations I feel like that’s all I really knew I didn’t watch any reviews so I didn’t know what people thought about anything in particular and then I just was able to take this one down now just little reminder like I’ve only I think I might have seen the first one twice I think I saw the first one twice yeah yeah I definitely saw the first one twice and then I saw the other ones just one time and uh I really love the first two
a lot I remember uh really loving them yeah this isn’t going to be really a comparison uh to them there’s no real point in doing that uh but there were there’s a lot about this movie that I really really liked uh quite quite a bit and there are some things that I’m like H I feel like maybe they wor maybe two and a half hours is actually not enough to tell this epic spanning tale that they want to tell and then it seems like it even ends at a point where they would still do his
equal yeah to the the the rise of snow I think they were smart enough to go we’ll just try this one movie that we jam-packed out and then if people like that then we’ll do our corol is snow Trilogy yeah yeah yeah instead of announcing it ahead of time I mean but what did what are your what’s the first thing that comes to mind for you John oh goodness I mean I guess Rachel Ziggler is the first thing that comes to mind uh yeah I quite enjoyed this too uh in an interesting way cuz yeah
like The Hunger Games franchise for me you know I I like I probably had the same experience that I think about it like I might have seen Catching Fire or the first one again at home you know on home video at some point but I feel like I the first one was a pretty vivid experience when it was out the second one like I’ll never forget the IMAX experience of that yeah and then the the the returns you know kind of diminished across the mocking Chase uh but yeah so I I I came in kind
of in a in a middle space you know sort of being like yeah I’m I’m happy to go back to this world I’m not expecting the moon and I’ve heard enough mixed opinions some people really positive some people kind of met that I was like yeah this this is a fun Prospect to me because it could go any number of directions and it sounds like they’re at least trying something and uh and yeah like it’s interesting because those two performances at the center of the movie are so much of you know what makes it compelling
I mean like the the the world and the way that they talking about snow and Lucy gray yeah okay Lucy greybeard uh you know those two com I I I I agree when you say that this could have been longer just because I feel like we really see from the perspective of snow we really get to know snow and I wish we could have maybe done that for Lucy gray as well because Rachel zler does have this fascinating presence in the movie as it is presented because she is kind of like a bird flying through
everything uh because she’s removed from everything like she comes from these people who exist outside of and sort of in between the different districts and then you have the district setup that we know about but we’re largely seeing from the perspective of somebody who is from that Upper Crust and who you know has even if he’s got you know uh shambled Origins is certainly Arisen to you know the kind of the heights of privilege and whatever else in this society and so like when they first meet and she enters the plot like she is such
a presence and such a force but I feel like there it’s like the problem is we need our own like Katniss everine Style movie to show her life outside of this too cuz like the way she enters the movie she does have this kind of like magic presence cuz you know she’s going to teach him but she’s also got to survive the Hunger Games but she also just has this just sort of effervescent wiseness in in all situations that sort of places her I don’t know yeah just in this interesting plane above it all while
still very much entrenched in it all so yeah I feel like some of the character things could have benefited from the kind of breathing room the third chapter gets which I’m glad they put it there because it’s what you’re going to leave people off you know it’s the last taste you’re going to leave in their mouth and it’s certainly sort of a very tangible uh sequence uh that part of the story and you do get more of that sense of like the life that this girl comes from and and the way he looks at that
and all those interesting things but but the performances I thought were really terrific the performances were I thought everyone was great in this movie yeah even to even Viet Davis are usually can’t do anything wrong with me she’s the only one I was questionable about did she did she for sure know the world the tone of like yes there are HID in characters in Hunger Games for sure but there’s kind of like a time and a place for where they are placed she’s not doing like hoyy toyy heighten she’s doing like she something else yeah
she’s doing like a whole other she reminded me of Charlie there in Snow White and the Huntsman where she’s just like way elevated and chewing scenery in a way most other characters are not yeah but I found it very amusing she was very entertaining and she had her scenes where she was effective yeah and I I like I think for me you know while we’re on this subject of all them yeah like I think the individual performances of both of them were really good who plays Snow yeah what is that guy’s name i’ never I
don’t know if I’ve seen this guy before probably have he’s one of those guys probably I’m like oh yeah I have but I didn’t I didn’t remember has he done a game of throne or something I don’t know this guy’s name yeah Tom blle Tom ble that name sounds familiar does he maybe get like thrown out there for lots of things no I haven’t seen anything this guy’s done actually looking at looking at his list of stuff I haven’t seen any of this yeah damn first time this is first time for us yeah first time
for us uh yeah I mean I thought he did a really good job and I thought she did a really good job and I think like the missing piece for me between the two of them uh really was just and a lot of it comes down to the writing the breathing with then your first um because there’s three parts to hear so three long acts is what they’re doing and and I think like in the First Act especially they really could have utilized building that relationship up yeah with them it’s more about like the qualitative
treatment that you give them with The Spar time they are allowed to see each other you know and they’re talking about like oh Mentor mentee uh Dynamic and they don’t really I I don’t feel like we really did enough with that that the part where I felt like they were really missing something when it seemed like that would have been your most compelling story to element to build the relationship between the two of them because they want to do two things right they want to tell the story of the origin of snow but also the
origin of how The Hunger Games came to be I think the one thing I was misled by and I kind of blame the trailer I think the trailer makes it feel this way that this was going to be the first Hunger Games yeah I thought I thought this would be the first that was the impression I was left with was oh we’re going to watch the story of the very first Hunger Games yeah and what did that look like yeah I didn’t realize it’ be 10 years in we still get the origin of how it
came to be and and how it even correlates more with snow haha in a way that was uh pretty surprising and it like that reveal at the end of he is a special yeah your dadicated these games your father was Obi-Wan Kenobi yes you are monarch son yeah yeah there was there was the a nice little treatment there uh but I I do think that what they did miss out on was really capturing that to hide in everything tension Stakes the that prequel fear syndrome where you’re like I know he’s going to be bad but
I don’t want him to be you have to like tug at that you know and that’s where I thought some of the qual where where some of the emotional heft was missing some of its zest yeah oh good word personally that’s just my personal take and it’s kind of odd to say that when the individual performances themselves like isolator or I thought were really good Rachel zler especially I thought was a scene stealer and and I I know you keeps I understand your perspective there of wanting to see a little bit more from Rachel Ziggler’s
POV but I I this choice to keep it this whole thing feels like it’s entirely in Snow’s perspective even when you cut to Rachel zegler in the arena or hiding out I’m like well there’s cameras on there that he could be watching you know so it’s still his perspective so like even choices like that make sense to me I don’t I can’t recall a scene in here where you actually cut away from a scene that he is not either privy to or uh like he has to be in the room in some way yeah yeah
and and honestly I don’t beg grudged the movie I understand that the structure they’ve chosen necessitates that and I don’t think that’s the only way to do it I feel like yeah if the First Act and by extension the second but like one thing the later games the earlier movies do which I get is not fully formed yet that’s part of the point of these but you know you spend a distinct amount of time with the mentors you know so like and then they become distinct characters and so I like the idea of them being
thrown together and them essentially like meeting as she’s getting off the train then being thrown into this truck and then being thrown into the zoo and I feel like if we could have stole in a few more moments to it’s weird it’s like there are a lot of things about it that necessitate that quickness of pace and we’re rushing into this and there’s not really much time anyway but it would have been nice I think to have a couple of scenes that just made it so that we maybe didn’t have to spend so much time
wondering if she is you know being straight with how she’s expressing herself cuz there are certain times and and I and I think there’s a certain amount of time you’re supposed to be wondering oh are they both playing the game um and and you know seeing from his it’s weird yeah it’s it’s good like I think they’ve given us a good amount of like kind of Rich stuff there but yeah like some more intimate beats early on that breath the little that allow them to establish the chemistry and allow us to Care just about them
being together Beyond all of this well the the issue I think with the movie is is another even though it’s a long movie I mean nowadays it feels like the standard for films are like two and a half or three hours and I think this should have been three hours because unlike the other Hunger Games movies specifically referencing the first two those first two that Fe like mocking jay does not have a Hunger Game in it those first two movies have a Hunger Game in it and the structure with that is introduce characters lead into
the h games the fun ceremony stuff and whatever and then you’re in The Hunger Games and there’s like a a 5 to 10 minute wrap up at the end yeah those are both those movies yeah you know and then here you’re do it all that and then another hour whole movie The this is the rare time because people used to roll their eyes about the whole like oh split the last one into two but I’m like you could split this in two and really stack up all the because all those happen to favor one side
or the other there’s always one half that’s a little more action-packed there’s always one half that’s a little more emotional a little more story and stakes and so like I feel like here you could have had your thrilling first installment of like oh man we’re getting to see the both of them we’re getting to see him learning how this world works and his place in it and the moral implications of all that plus them just bonding over getting through this Hunger Game and then the next side okay they’re free they’re back in the district they’re
about to gear this up again you know will he you know we know where he’s headed but then you can spend that movie going oh will they remain you know together yeah cuz I didn’t even feel I I don’t really care for um I’m not one of those people who really thinks that a movie needs to do commentary I do think that when you are I’d rather just get a character-driven narrative honestly more than anything else and then let some commentary speak via through that which is how I think commentary generally should be ex it’s
called subtext yeah exactly because there’s a lot of textual talk in here yeah whereas uh here I’m like the concert doesn’t really do anything that new for The Hunger Games world uh not really like everything that they touch on with uh oppression classism and War all that people as animals and you yeah like prisoners the the way they’ve explor all these Earth yeah we’ve seen all that and and honestly that’s the thing with Francis Lawrence who I feel like is on the unlike unlike David Yates because David okay for those who don’t know David Yates
made Order of Phoenix I think that was his first one and then he just made every Harry Potter fantastic Beast he didn’t take a break to do anything else yeah whereas Francis Lawrence has at least done stuff since the last Hunger Games movie and and then this one right but at the same time it is like I feel like we kind of needed a fresh director to I do feel like because the first two acts while not bad I don’t think they’re bad I don’t feel like they’re anywhere near as interesting as the last act
because there is a certain element of kind of going by the numbers while they do some different things even like the new stuff that they’re introducing kind of feels like yeah this is about the Beats you expect them to hit with the origin of snow in this early Hunger Games story it it does feel a little bit like in terms of outlining and and that’s where the richness would come in with just stronger scene work or or really be like even not being like I don’t even really care about that stuff being like the outline
being a little bit what I expected it’s but the scenes themselves really shine and and so that’s where predictability versus uh you know actual storytelling you and and to me I’m like yeah it was kind of weaving in and out uh for me of being really connected whereas like the third part three of of this post The Hunger Games is when I felt like Francis Lawrence finally like lit up yeah I was like okay I get to bring some of that stuff I’ve probably been raking in from more recent experiences and apply it to this
yeah I got to do something different cuz to the movie’s credit one of the best things about and and and I keep forgetting it’s actually based on a this one’s based on a book you’re forgetting that but to the story of it is there’s been a lot of origin Tales of people that just seem unnecessary or I I don’t even like that word necessary you know when people say that this fil is necessary I don’t really like that word necessary um that the the origins feel so predictable the origins feel like well we know we’re
going to go here we know is going to happen we know and and the only thing we really that was a obvious is that he’s got to end up a bad guy by the end and B um it probably something to do with the Heartbreak here that he experienced with this but the way that unfolds while some stuff you can sort of telegraph like a like several minutes before it happens for the most part I really was like I don’t know how he’s going to end up to being the snow or or at least end
up on the path of being the snow that we know him to be by the time he becomes Donald southernland yeah and I thought that was a strength that kept me watching because I was because I could not see it really I’m like I don’t really know and by the time we got there it actually really clicked for me it I thought it was great on how they did it cuz they took Avenues primarily in the part three act they took Avenues and directions that kind of let plot points unfold in ways that don’t actually
feel cliche and I don’t think they are cliche they took different directions that I thought were actually really unexpected of why he does what he does or how he lands where he lands where he does come to the lesson of the world is not the Hunger Games are merely a mirror you know and I thought that was kind of powerful I thought that was great it’s a distillation of everything that’s going on all over this place because we isolate the Hunger Games but they are a reflection of us in a in a way right and
so I actually really like the third act really bumped this up a lot for me whereas the first two Acts were I I’m I’m picking and choosing what I really like well the first two acts of that Blockbuster thing that happens where you have like a bunch of talent and not enough you know time to really let that spread out yeah and and Ian even the hunger game itself was like just yeah it’s a little It’s Kind honestly it’s this a weird word to say a part of it feels like it’s kind of cute to
me of oh yeah it’s like an older version oh yeah look at that it’s the older version that’s how a lot of it was sort of reading yeah instead of really having the suspense and stakes and the Menace people finally the most violent that happens is someone people fall you know like and I thought oh we’re in a more like barbaric setting where usually we’re in this like giant landscape yeah and I and and and I and I thought it actually completely didn’t have the no I want to say completely it was void of the
grit that the other ones had even especially the first movie’s grit like the first movie I remember not knowing what I was going to go watch and sure there might have been like the shock Val of it of someone who had no idea what the Hunger Games was about and be like these kids are married like but see but it was still captured in a way that I remember being like this is really violent these are like kid like the way it was being sh even pg3 Humanity of it all yeah yeah like bord personally
it borders on R and and and and this I thought really should have towed the line and it The Hunger Games themselves were like yeah fine that’s that’s the thing about so much of the first two chapters of this and why I do honestly think that if any of these should have been split into two this would be a good candidate because that’s the thing is I yeah it’s like I think it’s a neat idea of doing like okay so it’s like the 10th one we’ve done a couple of these enough to know that it’s
not going to be like completely makeshift but yeah it’s not what you are used to in the future that’s a cool Prospect because you can play up the humor like with the drones but I feel like the half that they are missing is the way which that’s totally more barbaric or it would lead to a games that is a lot more feral and Scrappy and like that there are glimpses of that like the weapons do like hearken back to like old Gladiator stuff and you know it’s not super Hightech but I feel like surface though
it it it is yeah and and so you have these cartoon you know all the other competitors fell into their cartoon you know archetypes and you have like a literal puppy killing with the one girl with the tuberculosis and the one guy over here who’s just like you know The Chosen hero and everyone in between the problem with the runtime is that you you’re now short in like the other two movies that’s most of the runtime is the it’s the game and here you’re like we got to condense that runtime because yeah see again not
I guess I’m just gonna Embrace that these are the ideas the movie is giving me not to like totally rewrite but I feel like it’s good to keep it in Snow’s perspective I I like what they tried to do with The Hunger Games I feel like you could have done a lot with the tension like you could show her perspective in the games to a greater emotional degree and and ride off the simultaneous nature of the fact that he’s in one place around the establishment watching her and can only do so much to help and
she’s you know literally stranded in Lord of the Flies right now so like there’s so much Mutual tension and cutting back and forth and stuff that you could do in the moment to really make that gripping and and again like one thing those old Hunger Games movies did do was at least take some time to like okay we’re meeting all the other contestants in they get their intros in front of the city but then we do like the behind the scenes like oh this is what they’re really like and this is you know who I’m
up against and who might be an ally and you get to wonder about all these things a little whereas this is moving so quickly that it it just doesn’t give you time for mystery or wondering much of anything that isn’t clearly going to be end of the movie Reveal stuff and that’s where I think to your point of where some of the stuff of because we’re focused on snow Snow’s perspective not um uh Lucy’s perspective where Lucy gray whereas the movies are focused on Katniss’s perspective who is in The Hunger Games yeah so you you’re
more connected to it you’re you’re more connected to the entire thing and so I think the idea was to kind of flip perspective but it was trying to have its cake and E to two a little bit you know and and I think that’s where some of it and because of the fact that it’s this number installment movie the only people who are going to watch I most people who are going to watch this this is going to be the fourth Hunger Games movie they’re watching no the fifth this is GNA be the fifth Hunger
Games movie because there’s the MJ’s two parts right yeah yeah this will be the fifth Hunger Game movie you’re watching and not uh their first one so you naturally well yeah know it does and that’s the thing is there is an awaren too so yeah cuz yeah I think too it’s like it rushes pretty quickly past them their initial distrust and the spirit they suggest upon their first meeting just doesn’t seem like someone who would warm up to him that fast so I feel like they needed to earn moments like that and yeah you can
do a lot of things still within his perspective but that develop that that’s what made him uh that’s what made me like question her but back to her I mean I think that her Rachel zler again and I feel like that it’s become like this hot Buton keyw word to talk about her um I don’t really care I mean I I thought she was the absolute standout in this movie I came in here to watch the origin of The Hunger Games and the origin of our favorite dictator and Rachel zler I I forgot she was
in it till a moment before they showed her I was like oh yeah Rachel zler is in this movie I was not expecting her character to be such a standout her the songs that they I don’t know if they wrote those songs I don’t know if they’re uh at um covers I don’t know what regardless I thought they helped serve the narrative and help develop her character and her voice and the mood how it creates an atmosphere around her and it’s something that I think could have really failed at how they executed it to be
in here is just something that feels completely cheesy and silly uh yet you can see how that is also the start and origin of uh of something theatrical to endear you to the audience in terms of like in The Hunger Games world of how they do that the theatrics to make them a little bit more performers who are tributes the tributes make them more performers and and uh but but her performance overall like I was most concerned about her like I didn’t she was the only one where I was like oo I I don’t want
her to die and the stakes are really real for for you cuz you’re in district 12 at the moment and you’re also you know part of a traveling group of people who seems to be on the fringes of society anyway and and I like that they use the music like the music does I think a good amount to bridge some of the gaps because music does just speak in ways that words don’t always and and a lot of the lyrics kind of are directly about situations that happen but I feel like you know the emotional
rousing that music can provide is put to good effect here and I like that it also plays into the tradition of like yeah in rebellions music plays a big part both for morale and for this sending of messages and other things like that and so like that’s a nice astute detail to put in there that’s perfectly in line to do what often happens in in earlier Hunger Games installments where it’s like okay this is technically a rebellion but you can warp it into being part of the show too you know the the one is part
part of the Matrix you know yeah uh and so yeah like that was like a cool thread that they didn’t have to commit to to the degree that they did I thought that was like a nice artistic surprise they put on this it was a really nice artistic surprise and I like The Descent of snow where he normally in these movies where someone becomes a monster you just watched them become less human and more cold by the end and I thought the choice to actually do do kind of an inverse where he actually seems more
detached honestly in the beginning to in the be in the very very beginning of the movie he seems a little bit more detached and I get it his family was once of prominence and he’s putting on sort of this like posturing Act of Elegance that even Peter Dinklage calls him out on yeah and then so then you’re slowly getting to see like oh he’s actually but some of his earlier on scenes I didn’t really I feel like he was cast for what he did in the later half sure and not so much what he did
in the first half and in that first half um yeah cuz I I think his real strengths were in that last half and in that first half of the movie you you are watching as he’s becoming more human right from falling in love to the fear and paranoia even when he starts doing villainous Deeds or corrupted Deeds that are out of just selfish gain it where he’s playing his own Real World Hunger Games like as someone who was a mentoring he playing Real World Hunger Games he actually feels like he’s becoming more and more human
as he becomes quote quot unquote a monster I guess you know and I and I thought that was actually a nice way of doing an origin for like oh look at him he’s a good guy and we’re going to watch him become bad and they did it in a way that was different it didn’t feel like he completely became sometimes in origin movies they they really Telegraph very early on that this is who they like oh you’re going to see them become bad and is Right streak was always in them yeah yeah they do that
or they uh I don’t know there’s there’s all other kinds of versions of cliches and I haven’t quite seen it done this way like when he’s in the woods trying to shoot her he still feels like a very multi-layered human in that moment who is experiencing paranoia heartbreak fear of loss SW like I thought he embodied the multiple layers and he felt that’s what I’m trying to say I felt like he actually became multi-layered and multifaceted um at the as the movie went and by especially by the end and that’s why I feel like he’s
more Human by The End even though he’s more cold whereas in the beginning I didn’t really feel the multiple layers of this character and it took me a while to get actually interested in who snow this version of snow it it really took me some time like Rachel zler was kind of right off the bat whereas um her uh him took me some time and then the other performers too of course like Peter Dinklage was you know Peter D was kind of doing something we were familiar with Peter Dinklage doing but it was still like
he still committ he still Peter nckl he’s still great yeah he’s still great he’s still doing the performance and Jason schwarzman as just call him young Stanley Tui always forget that character’s name lucky flickerman or whatever I liked how you know the comparison differen is Stanley Tucci is is very much he’s a superstar you know um he’s Regis filbin and then this is Young Regis filbin you know gu’s working his way up yeah he’s holding the show together but he’s also singing for his dinner yeah yeah totally I thought J Sportsman was excellent and yeah
think performances costumes all look great and the aesthetic of making it like retro sci-fi where it feels like how the 50s and 60s imagine what the future would look like uh so I thought that was really cool and and yeah the third act to me was um that that’s when I felt this movie really sang a lot and and had the most amount of actual tension to hold on to and and concern and worry and I like that you don’t find out what really happened with her you keep it a mystery with Lucy G even
as The singing’s Happening the wood just a thing that the birds are recalling above him is this just an echo in his mind did she really you know yeah did she even really exist The Hunger Games head yeah but like no like like I guess that’s the last thought that I kind of have is is is is yeah I think the the most important thing this movie had to do for itself given what it’s set out to do is sell the character journey of Cory elanus snow and I thought the most graceful thing about it
was the way they did sort of weave in and out of moral gray areas and you can see him in multiple in in almost in you know the same scene at times you know like swaying more toward a benevolent side swaying more toward the machinations of the capital you know right right you know for for as kind of straightforward or as surface level as certain things were it felt like that part of the story they really always managed like I love that thing with Peter Dinklage because yeah you think he’s just being a Snape about
it because like I knew your dad back in the day Potter like you know I’m going to stick it to you whereas you know you come back around and it’s like oh this guy and that’s at a point in the story where Coro is sort of seemingly flirting with more of a humanist perspect or is being drawn more toward a humanist perspective so that gives you more cause to suspect that uh the the um what high bottom or whatever his name is like is a bad guy and then later on oh you find out he’s
helping out the rebels and he did this because he thinks you’re just like your dad even though you’ve like tried not to be throughout this movie but now you’re still being set down that path you know and it’s and I think we needed some depiction of the dad that would have been nice yeah cuz there was all this emphasis on him and I was and I didn’t really if they still kept it so vague just something we don’t like for me you don’t even need to see his face necessarily but like show a window into
the moments where he did have time with his dad to form any association cuz we first meet him as like a kid out in the snow like getting taken in from you know squalor so like where was how old was he when he knew his dad like all there’s questions there I think what I never really latched on to with the movie is why snow cares to get this far cuz he’s the special and his dad created The Hunger Games but you know like at the very beginning like of course I’m not going to relate
with this there’s got to be something there to relate with the motivation like I think they’re trying to tell me that all this stuff with this and his grandma he really loves them so he wants to take care of them is what the movie’s I think trying to tell me yeah will never be evicted again but that wasn’t I don’t know I like this specific thing you going to lead this place this specific thing yeah he was aspiring to at the very jump of this movie and why are you so inspired with ways to make
the games that much better cuz this whole thing is predicated on like oh he’s got this crazy ass plan for how to make the games great and I feel like we glossed over that cuz I think there was something there in the text about um and maybe I missed it but feel like I paid attention to everything the the because it seems like the family was once respected yeah and once of regality in some regard and then now they’re not and he wants to reclaim that good name I think maybe but he also seems very
detached to cult but it also seems like everyone who finds out who his dad is other than Peter Dinklage was like your dad was an all right guy you know yeah man he gave us this so I don’t know I mean but he didn’t know that right not until later I don’t I thought it seemed like he didn’t know his dad gave him till the very end yeah seems like uh he took somehow for some reason that it’s been lost yeah not even orever or maybe just he was never in a position to have it
revealed to him or something like that but even such yeah it’s like that’s right it’s cuz the hunger gam hadn’t even happened yet cuz we started off 3 years before he gets taken in yeah 3 years before when they’re like little kids and then and then so sometime I I guess what is it he’s taken in by the guy who would eventually create the Hunger Games that like that part kind of confused because we don’t really ever see him and we see Grandma or whoever that is uh but yeah and then we cut to 10
years later or whatever yeah because the movie starts off three years before the first Hunger Games yeah right it said the first Hunger Games yeah um and then I guess they had that conversation through a few years before the first Hunger Games like like that’s the thing is yeah like it would have been even if this is not about the first Hunger Games it would have been nice to check in with the first Hunger Games like I feel like that would kind of almost be important for how close the part of the point is like
we’ve only been doing this for a little while and you know they’re flailing out here we got to figure out a way to really beef this up and and get everyone on board and I think that would have been I think it’s be a really challenging it’s like the first the movie The of The Purge franchise and there’s there there are correlations I think you can draw parallels in terms of the story and what they’re talking about and what they’re doing between what the Hunger Game stories are about and what the purge movies are about
even though they’re very different movies there’s a lot of similarities at the same time AB um in terms of some contextual things and and I think that would have made for in terms of like a a thematic piece the a more interesting thematic piece yeah because you would see how people like were reacting to when this was first announced and when they were going to do it and then how the response went over when it went when when it uh when it does go down yeah and then the unknown of how how this is supposed
to work and figure it out see that’s the thing is you could have a Hunger Games again and and again do you know the part of any you know continuing franchise where we do the thing from the first time again but you can give it a whole new you know uh veneer and a whole new kind of you know set of circumstances that could make it fresh and interesting in a more rudimentary and rough kind of way and tap into you know like the signature aspect of like what Drew people to this franchise in many
ways like yeah some some pretty straightforward but you know very invested commentary on society in various ways and even this like it flirts at the end with they they either reject Society leave and go someplace else or they try to climb to the top and and fix it and all that and like yeah things were so bad and these wars happened and we split up all these districts and stuff and it was so bad we had to create this game right to to make an example but also just like Sate people’s anger and keep people
complacent and whatever else and like and yeah like it it is odd to me not to at least touch on that like I feel like maybe they’re just keeping that Ace up their sleeve so if they you know want to in another five or six years or if this Trilogy doesn’t work they can go first Hunger Games let’s get cycle three going um but it I don’t know I feel like again for drawing it so close to that and doing some of that I feel like you could have just made that stuff even more Rich
by at least touching on the first games well uh overall n you know I’d probably give this movie uh like guess there’s a lot of things I really liked about it though man like whenever Rachel zler was on screen and I really did find a lot of suspense in the last hour of this film yeah and uh and I’m glad they put it there like you know again in the math I I would rather be left off on an interesting note oh yeah rush through act three it feels grounded and gritty and it feels like
the real world allegories are even more present and you put snow in a position where there are Stakes where you like you start to semi forget like oh yeah you’re supposed to somehow get back to the capital and be he’s stripped down I think that’s another thing that helps with the character he’s stripped down he’s vulnerable he’s taken away from everything and he’s traversed all levels of this society and he’s been in favor he’s been out of favor and and in that last half you’re able to kind of live I think one thing doing this
perspective allows you to do is live in the banality of the daytoday of this which the third act really does do cuz he’s he’s a stormtrooper the other thing I really liked that I completely forgot to touch on was that you actually get a sense of community from District 12 where in in this like movie that feels is dystopian future you you normally don’t get something that feels joyous celebratory in any way and you get that there when they are and that was one of the elements of the musical side where that connection when they
are singing and dancing and and uh and Lucy Grace performing I’m like oh yeah there’s a real there is a community here yeah and you are connected and endeared to that at least I was and I don’t that’s something I don’t feel the other Hunger Games mov you know just felt like they were everyone’s broken throwing bread in the mud you know dreary and dirty all the time which is part of that life but also yeah show contr yeah and and I thought that like finding having that kind of community with the with with the
southern flare to it was actually pretty cool and also you know and and to get Rachel zegler who I I don’t think she’s Caucasian uh she something she’s like Latina or something I don’t know what she is but she’s obviously she’s not Caucasian and to to see someone who who embodies such a Southern bell kind of vibe who is not Caucasian I thought was actually kind of was like different and refreshing and it balances things out cuz she is singing a lot of like very bluesy spirituals which I think would be kind of extra tacky
if it was just like a white girl yeah and I think some people might be like what the hell uh you know but I’m like all all that has to happen is someone just grows up around that you the voice of the cad it’s matters and the culture you know it’s like when you see like I don’t know a Japanese guy who grows up in Australia he has an Australian accent yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly this is this is clearly a place in which people have been all Just jumed Around by War in class and
now you know wherever you wind up especially her is like a nomad you know like wherever you wind up is sort of whatever culture you’re going to pick up like I know we see that in life all the time uh but in movies and shows you really don’t you know there’s a uniformity that that often happens whereas here I thought that yeah they they they managed to make the district feel alive and feel like yeah despite you know the thing that all like many places in Squad there still can be senses of community and ways
to find joy and respit whilst also never kind of being unaware of the fact that you’re always under the boot th% and yeah you can feel yeah it’s like I I liked like I liked getting those bits where you do at least just have sort of like life’s happening and people are breaking out in song and they’re dancing and you really kind of feel like what a day in the life is like over here you know and what we’re fighting for yeah I can’t help but think like even though I like the third act a
lot the that there are I can’t help but at times be like I really feel like half hour would have added this in and maybe it’s there in the book but even even with his friend that that’s where the part I I forget his name surgey oh so Soju something like that the the the the the best friendship there could have been a heartbreaking thing if at all he did feel compelled to help him out if he did think like the if there was a debate with with them truly of potentially helping out the rebels
and stuff yeah and that way that creates a real conflict you see him actually making a choice that and even would drive home that desent that character art that he has more when he does go like no he’s shutting the down he’s not going to help you know yeah and giving that car again it’s that breathing room thing of like man just a couple more scenes showing these guys in a joyous moment and in a moment where you can see how his buddy is is rubbing off on him because he they establish that he’s his
only friend you’re the only guy who sticks up for this dude who clearly has a sympathetic side for the plees out there you know and he speaks to his humanity and I think you you said something early on about certain scenes feeling kind of soap opera esque because the emotion has to be high because it’s the important scenes that we’re cutting to uh but I feel like especially with a character like that like they managed to get a good amount of the tragedy but I feel like some of it some of the real contrast and
the real weight of it is a bit garbled like they kind of make they kind of streamline it in a way where you’re like yeah he’s gonna betray him whereas like you want to feel like uh will this be less of a direct betrayal and more of like a choice made under one pretense only to be like oh God no what did I do you know there could have been more debate there and there could have been again just a a greater detailing of that kind of swaying of corus’s Soul between two states and two
ideologies you know yeah and I think in a book when you’re reading a bunch of additional texts yeah but in a movie you you got to do a little more creative work to do some scene work you do some sew work a little more to drive home the plot and cuz cuz he especially uh uh sojourn whatever his name is is very much a a themes character I’m here for the to bring the themes in the text of the them and to present those to you cor snow and I’m like cool good like that’s you
need that and I like that you know they have a whole argument kind of their whole ideology is like do we do direct action or do we play the long game and and you know what are our motivations really and yeah it’s like that stuff could have felt a lot more lived in and you could have felt a little less you know the the a little less of that puppy killing feeling when it really does come down you know on on his head th% and the weight of that broken promise I’ll protect you overall 7.5

what to receive from your end and the bar only ever rides it’s really limits the passion behind the shout outs for when we’re not financially incentivized for the bonus that it could lead to a more stimulating shout out comes from more stimulating stimulus package and I’m not dropping a hint here I’m not saying what you should do there are a could and would scenario here that could be happening and ought to mandatory but hey hey I’m no gaslighter all right I didn’t hear nothing G I’m no manipulator around here so I I can’t tell you
