The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbird and Snakes (CONTAINS SPOILERS) by Isabella Smith
The recently released The Hunger Games movie is based on the novel by Suzanne Collins. The book was published in May, 2020. The movie came out in theaters early November. The movie involves action, adventure, war, romance, and is placed in a dystopian setting. The movie is a prequel to the original The Hunger Games trilogy. It is set 64 years before the events that took place in the first Hunger Games Movies.
The movie begins during the war between the Capital of Panem and the 13 districts, where the Capital then destroys district 13. It then moves to the present when 18 year old Coriolanus Snow, his cousin Tigris, and their Grandma’am are the only ones left of their family to survive the war. The Snow family shows the image that they are wealthy and more powerful than the rest of the people in the Capital of Panem, when in reality, they are struggling to make ends meet because their father left them no inheritance.
To punish the 12 rebellious districts for the devastation of the war, two tributes are chosen from each district: a boy and a girl. They are chosen to fight in a war against each district until there is one final person standing. The games are televised as well for all the people in the Capital and each district to watch. During the 10th Hunger Games, students from the Capitals Academy are chosen to mentor a tribute. Snow is chosen to mentor a poor, weak tribute from district 12. During the reaping, Lucy Gray catches Snow's attention by slipping a snake into another girl's dress and singing a song while on stage. Throughout the first part of the movie, Snow begins to prepare Lucy Gray for The Hunger Games, just as everyone else does.
Throughout the games everyone puts on a strong fight and Lucy Gray comes out on top. When it is discovered that Snow cheated to help Lucy Gray win, he is sent to district 12 and trained to become a peacekeeper. Lucy Gray and Snow are soon reunited in 12 and continue to fall for each other. A rebellion begins to take place in 12 and Snow does not stand for it, even though his best friend is a part of the rebellion. Lucy Gray and Snow soon after run away together and he becomes suspicious of her. He then loses her and becomes paranoid. After not being able to find Lucy Gray, Snow returns to The Capital and shows everyone that he is stronger than everyone else. Unfortunately, the movie ends in a huge cliffhanger for every watcher who looks forward to another movie.
