Me too. Especially makes me miss my dad and I wish I could show him. When I was little, before he died, he’d play me movie soundtracks and explain the key changes, the chords, the instruments, and how it all came together to create the music. I know he would have loved this song.
"She(Lucy Gray) could fly around District 12 all she liked, but she and her mockingjays could never harm him again." Fate: at least not in the way you imagine snow boi
I haven't read "Ballad" yet, but saw the movie the other day. I can see why Snow hates every breath Katniss takes. Her name, the song she sings that contributes to the uprising against him, the fact that she's a girl from 12 -- everything about her is a slap in his face. Gotta love it. 🏹
Slight spoiler... but it turns out that in the book, Snow hears Lucy Gray sing to Maude Ivory to help her sleep. That song is the same one that Katniss sings to Rue 64 years later!
I disagree I don’t think snow hates katniss. I believe he might actually like her more than we think. He spared peeta he didn’t kill her family he spoke to her kindly when she went inside the roses with him and he told her how he felt. I really believe Snow has a good heart it’s just that his greed always gets the better of him. The way he outcasted his cousin shows that it doesn’t matter who lives him he will in time turn on you. Much like the movie Narcos Miguel Felix Gallardo he is exactly like snow everyone knows him for being cunning and smart and inventing things and ways to sell like no one else. Only to have everyone and his family turn on him on the end for killing anyone who disobeyed him in the future and his story was actually true.
@@hectorgarcia8592yea and not only that but he always told her the truth he never lie to her and if you watch the prequel “lucy told him not to lie to her as well”
I think this scene is so powerful, just the people dropping like flies but everyone moving forward towards the same goal, just desperately trying to get the bombs into the dam. They all knew that even if they succeeded at planting the charges, there was no way to outrun the floodwaters. That was a suicide mission, and they all knew it, but the cause was greater than any fear they felt
Now that I’ve seen the prequel, I can only imagine Snow’s face when the whole country is singing the song of the woman he once loved and her ghost has hunted him all of his life and after all of those years.
Do you recommend reading the prequel before watching the movie? I read the original books a few years ago, remember most of it, but didnt really like the movie. Do you recommend this new prequel?
@@Aww_somIf I ever showed this series to my future children I would probably start them with the prequel to be honest. It makes the whole series a lot more powerful! In fact, I kind of wish they’d started with it haha
Remember the story of the Jabberjay. The Capital created them but lost control of them and their offspring were the Mockingjays Snow hates so much. Lucy is the Jabberjay to Katniss's Mockingjay. Lucy Gray was 'created' as a spectacle by Snow but he lost her in the woods. 60 years later her Mockingjay appears. A girl from District 12 singing Lucy's song. Then the song spreads and he can't kill Lucy Gray's Mockingjays. Like in the woods, he tries to shoot the birds singing Lucy's song. And it drives him mad.@@Aww_som Makes you wonder if the Rebellion knew about his history with Lucy Gray and recreated it as psychological warfare against him. They erased the 10th games, but one copy remains with Gaul. Presumably that copy is kept by Snow until the end of his life. But there are spies in the Capitol like Crane. Could they have gotten copies of those master tapes? Did they set up Katniss just as 'a girl from 12' to distract him and the rest was coincidence. Or did Lucy get to 13 and tell them what happened? It would be decades before Snow became President Snow though. When would she tell them? Why would she tell them? Or did she put it in her songs? We know she wrote one song about him
I mean unfortunately they all probably died. Blowing a damn while your at the bottom is a pretty quick way to die when the water comes rushing through.
@@DevinEMILEa moment of silence for the real people who actually die like that in war. Who cares about a movie. There’s a real frontline in every war. People who’s job it is to literally just die until enough men can get through
@@imanoldurango8213bro what’s your problem? They never said they didn’t care about real wars and besides obviously the scores are all fine but in the movies universe the characters that were on the front lines are dead just like the front lines in real life
“The Hanging Tree” - A song by Lucy Gray. The girl who came so close to stopping the rise of the monster we know as President Snow. The girl who managed to escape his grasp, and would continue to haunt him for the rest of his life. 60 some odd years later, it’s only fitting that her song would serve as the anthem for the second rebellion. Though her name may have slipped through the cracks of Panem’s history, the spirit of Lucy Gray is very much alive; inside Katniss, and in the hearts of all those who sing her song. Lucy Gray may have escaped his grasp, but in the face of the second rebellion, with her song as its anthem, Coriolanus Snow cannot escape Lucy Gray. After 75 years of carnage, the time has come for Snow to fall.
@@BreadForTheWin So an interquel? I could see it working, given that we have 64 years worth of games to play with, but in order for them to be stories worth exploring, they’d have to contribute to the overarching story of the hunger games franchise in some way. And that gets increasingly harder to do (without resorting to contrived BS) when the true “source material” only spans 3 books.
@@BreadForTheWin Yeah it could definitely work, especially if it were based on the 50th games that Haymitch won or the 65th Games that Finnick won. The problem is that, the more you expand on things that are just left open to interpretation, the more you risk introducing certain details that create plot holes in the original trilogy where none existed before. That’s one of the things that makes TBOSAS so impressive, is it’s ability to so elegantly tie in with the original trilogy without, at least to my knowledge, contradicting anything major within the original trilogy.
I like to think this scene reflects a lot about the people with Katniss and who will continue to be her allies. Gale is annoyed that the mockingjays are singing, and he remarks "Now they wont shut up." It mirrors snow's hatred for the birds. Instead of seeing them as the symbol of the revolution, he sees them as annoyances.
Yeah, good point. However, I also think it's telling that the camera focuses on him a lot in the early verses, particularly during the part where the song goes "I told you to run, so we'd both be free." He's probably thinking about the conversations he's had with Katniss about that very topic countless times and wondering if they'd gone. I find their love story very tragic honestly.
But it also can’t be that shallow. To Gale, for majority of his life, the Mockingjays were mutts planted by the capitol that constantly haunted them of their circumstances and oppression since they were children. It was only turned into a symbol of revolution for a few years. You can’t expect someone to forget their pains that easily.
No - *jabberjays* are the mutts. The Capitol abandoned them in the wild not expecting them to survive. But the jabberjays did by mating with other birds, and the mockingjays are one of most obvious examples that the Capitol cannot control everything bc it was something they never intended to exist. That's WHY it's a symbol of the revolution
@@ShortKhid69 I agree but it’s already done. All we can do now is hope it does the book justice. Judging by the trailers so far, it’s doing pretty well.
This scene hits harder when you realize Snow was at the hanging tree and Lucy Grey wrote the song about her and Snow meeting at the hanging tree to flee
@@Rebecca-m3r7bLucy Gray wrote it after Arlo’s execution, which was also after she stopped all communication with Billy Taupe and after he got kicked out of the covey. Lucy Gray sang it to snow in front of everyone at the Hob and snow understood it was her message to him, asking him to run away with her.
The reason why we all experience this with awe is becuase the idea of having a folk ballad evoke the passions of people, together, against a source of oppression and enact some form of catharthic act is a tantalizing thought for us, living in the reality we live.
Best scene in the movies. This scene doesn’t happen this way in the book, you just hear about the resistance was successful in disctrict 5, but this scene in the movie is powerful and brings goosebumps every single time I watch it. When everyone starts singing. You can feel the anger and despair in their voice. One of the Best scenes in movie history easily. There are no winners in war, only those who suffer. War doesn’t determine who’s right or wrong, but whose left. Here before I go watch Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes this weekend.
I agree - it’s like in deathly hallows part 1 when Harry & hermione dance to the song in the tent, having one happy moment during all the horror and terror they’ve experienced & are in.
This is crazy haunting. Even more after knowing the history behind this song. Lucy Gray made this song and this song became the revolution song to take snow down.
Imagine how brave those people are. They all knew they are going to die after they blow up the dam but they still went wihr bravery. I can’t imagine how they said goodbye to their families.
In tyranny there are 3 kinds of people. Those with kids who would die for them any time. Those who are simply done surviving instead of living and those who comply and obey.
@@benmalouf2699 I get so tired of hearing people too lazy to exercize their imagnation try to pour cold water on those who do with something useless, thoughtless and dismissive like "its a movie bro". When you hear a story about another person you really have no way of knowing if its fact or fiction or how much of each. What matters is what the story mean to you. Of course it means nothing to you, huh, big dog?
Always been my favorite scene, this one together with the dam scene. It adds a lot of humanity where most people wouldn't think about that while in a war or revolution. I often find myself singing the song to myself while I'm bored.
The dam scene has always been one of the most emotional to me, when the chorale sounds. The sound of determination and sacrifice that's devastating yet hopeful. Makes my heart reach out to all these defenceless but brave and selfless district citizens. Brilliantly made.
I imagine Lucy Gray was still alive during Mockingjay and she was Snow's age and saw the revolution hapening in front of her very eyes. I think she would be happy that her song was used for something good and to bring down the man she once loved knowing who he became. She was the start of the rebellion before there even was one.
I just now realized they all went into that battle knowing they would die. They were marching so faithfully on towards their goal, no fear shown. Determination written across their faces and etched into their souls to overthrow the corrupt government. It’s as if they had all realized and accepted that death is better than living under tyranny.
I accepted that once, and made that decision. took a bullet, spent some days in SICU, but I'm still here. The opressor is not - died in jail. revolutions come in all sizes.
Gotta love how in 2:22 Plutarch mentions the lyric change and in Ballad it was necklace of rope and not necklace of hope. Lucy Gray’s song truly did start a revolution
This music and scene perfectly displays the courage and strength of people willing to die to save their nation and the future generations. It's a true depictions of glory and desperation, fighting until the very end. One of the most breathtaking moments ever
This song did send me shivers back then watching this scene. But after watching Songbirds and Snakes this really gives another emotions. Snow really got his karma.
My dad when I was little always made me listen to his movie music and feel the moments. I wish he was still alive to see this moment. I’d show him my generations movies.
The moment when everyone comes together to sing stillsits with me. The anthem of freedom, of unified people striving for liberty, knowing damn well anyone could die at any given moment but still pushing towards their goal. It makes me sad thinking about it, considering how torn our real world is.
I remember something in an interview about Jennifer Lawrence being insecure about singing this. In the books Katniss is an amazing singer and Jennifer didnt feel like she lived up to book Katniss. I find the new version for S-S more artistic, but i find this version more authentic.
I love that the big punches they throw at the capital are always messages, not just war action, like the dress, the berries, the baby, the romance this song to snow's face
I know he’s just a character in a book, but when he lost his brother I had tears in my eyes. The whole series is sad, but that part really ate at me in a different way. Edit: It would have been nice if they made the birds go quiet when Katniss started singing, since the birds always listened to her father when he sang.
Are you, are you Coming to the tree They strung up a man They say who murdered three Strange things did happen here No stranger would it be If we met at midnight In the hanging tree.

Thank you for posting this scene officially!! It's absolutely my favourite in part 1, possibly of all time. When they all storm the damn... Normal people with nothing left to lose, willing to put their lives on the line. It's so incredibly powerful
Back when I was forced to see the movie with my family and I never even read the books or the first movie. When I heard the song, it got stuck in my head.
and they expected us to not protest against the injustice in the world after watching this movie? Did they not pay attention with what we grew up with?
With the knowledge that came from the tbosas book and movie, god I love how this moment comes full circle. You get never away from the sound of the woman who loved you, and Lucy Gray haunts Snow till the end of his life. He may have erased her existence but her legacy lives on her songs that once again, moves a nation into action.
The power for humans to come together and overcome anything is so amazing. Humans become so powerful because we had the ability to work together and achieve the impossible. ❤
So grateful for this song. Because of it now when my country has started a horrible war I can feel that I'm not the only one who sees all the terror, not only one who wants to revolt
When I rewatched this with my mom, this scene started and she looked at me and said “you can only oppress people for so long”. Idk why, but it’s kind of always stuck with me
This is true !! People who watch this , and stand with the resistance or the revolution which is basically against all the injustice and killing that takes place in the games, but when it comes to real life , they blame h*mas resistant group that has literally been the only defense Palestinians have had since the isr*** occupation, they refuse to see what is happening and they chose to turn a blind eye while a whole genocide is happening ,WAS happening , and why ? Because the occupier is powerful , the occupier is all about human rights ,while in reality the majority of them are just monstrous killers , one day eventually Israel and everyone that stood with what they are doing will fall with shame. Nothing will be forgotten , nothing will be forgiven
i recently saw the met gala's theme for next year and pictures of inspiration where literally effie's outfits. how similar is it that the "capitol" has these fundraisers for the costume institure while genocide and war and poverty is ravaging across the world.
Lucy Gray Baird is the original rebel who hated the hunger ganes. Now, her legacy of her song is bringing her back to fight for freedom. Freedom she wanted so badly and live a life of no rules or death. Just happy out in the woods and singing her songs.
i love how the ballad of songbirds and snakes deepened this scene and the whole meaning of the mockingjay as a symbol, lucy gray's mysterious ghost continues to linger over snow and i think that's beautiful justice
@@smurfettetutorialchannel8248most artists have pretty horrible voices 😂 very few of them can actually carry a tune. A lot of them just get by on sound mixing their songs. But at concerts you start to notice how few people can actually sing well
In the new movie the song is being sung by that "weird?-weird!" actress who actually does have a voice. But she totally butchered it by trying too hard. It just sounds ridiculous, like she is trying to show off all her vocal skills in one song. There's no soul in it. I watched a trailer and searched for the old rendishion right away to get rid of the bad taste. And I don't even like Jennifer Lawrence )
this hits different after watching the new prequel movie. I wish in the original series Snow was seen listening to the song about him so we can see the look on his face.
Haven't read or seen the prequel but I know the song is from it, that Katniss sung it because of Lucy but you can also see how it fits Katniss and Peeta in Catching Fire. They were supposed to meet at midnight at the tree, Peeta wanted Katniss who is his love to live and be free, Katniss wanted to leave the others and just be with Peeta and of course in Part 1 you can't help but wonder what would've happened if they met at midnight at the tree.
Rewatching the og series after TBOSBAS was nothing short of amazing, really makes you see things in a new perspective. Snow was must have been completely haunted by Lucy gray
I thought she sang that song was in relation to what happened in the quarter quell with her and Petta when they were separated. Also planning on meeting at the Tree at midnight to run off together and leave the rest of the allies. Now that we know the story with The Balland of Song Birds and Snakes. I understand it more and why Snow was scared and threatened by Katniss and the song. Remembering Lucy Gray with the pain of the love he felt for her and that made him weak, and the crimes he committed when he was a peacekeeper at district 12. With all that which made him become the dictator we all know. That history repeats itself and was part of his downfall.
Snow probably shat his pants upon hearing this song again and thought Lucy was taunting him from beyond the grave when they interrupted Peeta’s interview.
Palestine is not innocent. You fight your own war. Here in America we’ll have a generation of children unable to purchase a home. Unable to build anything, perpetually in debt thanks to a system built against them. We have our own war to fight.

HOPE FOR GAZA SURVIVAL Today 🇵🇸❤
All those people in District 5 knew they were gonna die when they were delivering the bombs to the power plant.
It’s like Peeta said. Their lives were never their own
Maybe but at least their kids have the chance to grow up & be free in a better world.
That would have been enough to get me to do it.
Best scene in the movies. This scene doesn’t happen this way in the book, you just hear about the resistance was successful in disctrict 5, but this scene in the movie is powerful and brings goosebumps
every single time I watch it. When everyone starts singing. You can feel the anger and despair in their voice. One of the Best scenes in movie history easily. There are no winners in war, only those who suffer. War doesn’t determine who’s right or wrong, but whose left. Here before I go watch Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes this weekend.
Jopoı
First time movie felt greater than books
I agree - it’s like in deathly hallows part 1 when Harry & hermione dance to the song in the tent, having one happy moment during all the horror and terror they’ve experienced & are in.

@@501Blonde-dq1ui been forever since I’ve read or seen the Harry Potter movies/ books
The dam scene was just “told” in the book. It’s great that they found a way to “show” it in the movie, and effectively.
“When a dead man called out” every time I think of Sejanus’s screaming for his mother
😢
This is crazy haunting. Even more after knowing the history behind this song. Lucy Gray made this song and this song became the revolution song to take snow down.

Imagine how brave those people are. They all knew they are going to die after they blow up the dam but they still went wihr bravery. I can’t imagine how they said goodbye to their families.
True
In tyranny there are 3 kinds of people. Those with kids who would die for them any time. Those who are simply done surviving instead of living and those who comply and obey.
it’s a movie big dog
likely their families were already dead. Thats often how you get such willingness.
@@benmalouf2699 I get so tired of hearing people too lazy to exercize their imagnation try to pour cold water on those who do with something useless, thoughtless and dismissive like "its a movie bro".
When you hear a story about another person you really have no way of knowing if its fact or fiction or how much of each. What matters is what the story mean to you. Of course it means nothing to you, huh, big dog?
Always been my favorite scene, this one together with the dam scene. It adds a lot of humanity where most people wouldn't think about that while in a war or revolution. I often find myself singing the song to myself while I'm bored.
The dam scene has always been one of the most emotional to me, when the chorale sounds. The sound of determination and sacrifice that's devastating yet hopeful. Makes my heart reach out to all these defenceless but brave and selfless district citizens. Brilliantly made.
with the way the world is now; we are truly living the beginning of the hunger games

I imagine Lucy Gray was still alive during Mockingjay and she was Snow's age and saw the revolution hapening in front of her very eyes. I think she would be happy that her song was used for something good and to bring down the man she once loved knowing who he became. She was the start of the rebellion before there even was one.
Was thinking she was probably at his execution and probably saw each other after so long. Before the crowd killed him
I just now realized they all went into that battle knowing they would die. They were marching so faithfully on towards their goal, no fear shown. Determination written across their faces and etched into their souls to overthrow the corrupt government. It’s as if they had all realized and accepted that death is better than living under tyranny.
I accepted that once, and made that decision. took a bullet, spent some days in SICU, but I'm still here. The opressor is not - died in jail.
revolutions come in all sizes.
Gotta love how in 2:22 Plutarch mentions the lyric change and in Ballad it was necklace of rope and not necklace of hope. Lucy Gray’s song truly did start a revolution
This song will forever haunt Snow. Even when he’s dead, he’ll know the song created by his lover is the song that brought to his demise.
The way we’ll never know what snows reaction was to this will forever drive me crazy after TBOSBAS
We all know he locked himself in his bedroom crying
this song gives me even more chills now that I know Lucy Gray wrote it
This music and scene perfectly displays the courage and strength of people willing to die to save their nation and the future generations. It's a true depictions of glory and desperation, fighting until the very end. One of the most breathtaking moments ever
For the ones that I still fighting today for freedom.
This song did send me shivers back then watching this scene. But after watching Songbirds and Snakes this really gives another emotions. Snow really got his karma.
can't wait to hear Lucy Gray's original version in November!
My dad when I was little always made me listen to his movie music and feel the moments. I wish he was still alive to see this moment. I’d show him my generations movies.
Hugs
The moment when everyone comes together to sing stillsits with me. The anthem of freedom, of unified people striving for liberty, knowing damn well anyone could die at any given moment but still pushing towards their goal.
It makes me sad thinking about it, considering how torn our real world is.
Lucy Grey Haunts Snow to this day.
She first introduced him to the mockingjay also mentions the katniss plant
I remember something in an interview about Jennifer Lawrence being insecure about singing this. In the books Katniss is an amazing singer and Jennifer didnt feel like she lived up to book Katniss. I find the new version for S-S more artistic, but i find this version more authentic.
I love that the big punches they throw at the capital are always messages, not just war action, like the dress, the berries, the baby, the romance this song to snow's face
This sounds so honest and raw, and so apt for the world of Hunger Games
Real🎉
I just know Snow was gagged when he heard her sing this 😭😭
no because i bet he was truly shook
Lucy Gray coming back to haunt his tyrant, murdering ass
bet he was quivering in his boots
But he didn't
After reading the Prequel? You just KNOW Snow was Fucking pissed when he heard the song 😂
Gives me goosebumps to know that this song is about Lucy Gray and President Snow..
Knowing it was Lucy Gray that wrote this, I would’ve loved to see Snow’s face when he heard Katniss singing this for the first time 😅
Hell yeah 😂
No matter how many times I watch this scene, every time I get shivers.
I know he’s just a character in a book, but when he lost his brother I had tears in my eyes. The whole series is sad, but that part really ate at me in a different way.
Edit: It would have been nice if they made the birds go quiet when Katniss started singing, since the birds always listened to her father when he sang.
Reading the origin of the song in Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes gives this a completely different feel. I’m in tears.
Literally can’t stop crying
One of the best scene of the entire movie.
Worst scene
@@DeswasnthereL take
I remember watching this scene for the first time. Wish I could go back
I saw an orchestra version of this song, I had goosebumps over my entire body.
This scene is STILL beautiful to watch here in 2024! That's good film making! 😃❤️🧡
The imperfection of her voice made it perfect
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here

In the hanging tree
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where dead man called out

Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree
thankss
Não importa o quanto eu veja a cena de todos cantando, arrepia TODAS as vezes sem exceção.
Anyone else get goosebumps when they all started singing?
Thank you for posting this scene officially!! It's absolutely my favourite in part 1, possibly of all time. When they all storm the damn... Normal people with nothing left to lose, willing to put their lives on the line. It's so incredibly powerful
Back when I was forced to see the movie with my family and I never even read the books or the first movie. When I heard the song, it got stuck in my head.
The fact that this movie rings so true today is disturbing. Suzanne knew what she was doing
She was inspired to write the books after watching news footage of the war in Iraq
Bro when the people were singing the lines gave me goosebumps
and they expected us to not protest against the injustice in the world after watching this movie? Did they not pay attention with what we grew up with?
Imagining how hard this must had hit Snow, reminding him of Lucy made this so much better
She was coming back to haunt his tyrant, murdering ass
With the knowledge that came from the tbosas book and movie, god I love how this moment comes full circle.
You get never away from the sound of the woman who loved you, and Lucy Gray haunts Snow till the end of his life. He may have erased her existence but her legacy lives on her songs that once again, moves a nation into action.
it was so wild learning snows backstory and hearing lucy gray sing this song
The power for humans to come together and overcome anything is so amazing. Humans become so powerful because we had the ability to work together and achieve the impossible. ❤
So grateful for this song. Because of it now when my country has started a horrible war I can feel that I'm not the only one who sees all the terror, not only one who wants to revolt
Which country?
@@joewhitehead3 probably Israel or Palestine
@joewhitehead3 Russia
When I rewatched this with my mom, this scene started and she looked at me and said “you can only oppress people for so long”. Idk why, but it’s kind of always stuck with me
It’s true when you think about it. Over history those who have been oppressed have retaliated against their oppressors in one way or another.
In today’s political climate it’s pretty scary how relatable this movie is becoming
As opposed to how bad politics has always been?
So true 🇵🇸
@@MMNNLL2468 wdym
This is true !! People who watch this , and stand with the resistance or the revolution which is basically against all the injustice and killing that takes place in the games, but when it comes to real life , they blame h*mas resistant group that has literally been the only defense Palestinians have had since the isr*** occupation, they refuse to see what is happening and they chose to turn a blind eye while a whole genocide is happening ,WAS happening , and why ? Because the occupier is powerful , the occupier is all about human rights ,while in reality the majority of them are just monstrous killers , one day eventually Israel and everyone that stood with what they are doing will fall with shame. Nothing will be forgotten , nothing will be forgiven
i recently saw the met gala's theme for next year and pictures of inspiration where literally effie's outfits. how similar is it that the "capitol" has these fundraisers for the costume institure while genocide and war and poverty is ravaging across the world.
That entire dam scene is so cool. I'm very glad it was expounded upon. The book only briefly mentions it.
Lucy Gray Baird is the original rebel who hated the hunger ganes. Now, her legacy of her song is bringing her back to fight for freedom. Freedom she wanted so badly and live a life of no rules or death. Just happy out in the woods and singing her songs.
i love how the ballad of songbirds and snakes deepened this scene and the whole meaning of the mockingjay as a symbol, lucy gray's mysterious ghost continues to linger over snow and i think that's beautiful justice
💯👍
I don't know why people wanted Jennifer Lawrence to be banned from the music industry. She's not a musician! She's an actress!
huh?
She sings pretty well here though people can be very judgmental
@@smurfettetutorialchannel8248most artists have pretty horrible voices 😂 very few of them can actually carry a tune. A lot of them just get by on sound mixing their songs. But at concerts you start to notice how few people can actually sing well
And it wasn't like Katniss was known for great singing...
In the new movie the song is being sung by that "weird?-weird!" actress who actually does have a voice. But she totally butchered it by trying too hard. It just sounds ridiculous, like she is trying to show off all her vocal skills in one song. There's no soul in it. I watched a trailer and searched for the old rendishion right away to get rid of the bad taste. And I don't even like Jennifer Lawrence )
No one will ever know how much I love this scene
4:04 Can we talk about the guy in the background flipping over the peacekeeper 😂😂😂
I just noticed that
The moment when everyone sings in chorus is cinema for me
This song is more more than just a song for a movie. This message is real.
Just watched Hunger games. Here is what i have to say. He was the best guy around, what muurder
3 muuurderrr 😂
Ian Hawke once had a staring contest with the sun - this is where night time came from.
Shit hits harder after songbirds and snakes.
Man I need to rewatch this
this hits different after watching the new prequel movie. I wish in the original series Snow was seen listening to the song about him so we can see the look on his face.
She claimed that she wasn't a singer, and struggled to sing this song, but I think we can all agree, she nailed it.
I told you dave… i never lose.
Everyday we grow closer to the hungry games
It must be terrifying for a soldier to see weak enemies singing. What a scene!
Haven't read or seen the prequel but I know the song is from it, that Katniss sung it because of Lucy but you can also see how it fits Katniss and Peeta in Catching Fire.
They were supposed to meet at midnight at the tree, Peeta wanted Katniss who is his love to live and be free, Katniss wanted to leave the others and just be with Peeta and of course in Part 1 you can't help but wonder what would've happened if they met at midnight at the tree.
I never lose
Rewatching the og series after TBOSBAS was nothing short of amazing, really makes you see things in a new perspective. Snow was must have been completely haunted by Lucy gray
He thought he was completely rid of her as if she never existed & he was dead wrong
I wish they had included a scene of old Snow reacting to people singing this song in the new movie.
Well the new movie it’s snow in the past
Remember we out number them 100 to 1 FIGHT THE POWER NEVER BACK DOWN !!!!
And its still relevant today
Hardly
I thought she sang that song was in relation to what happened in the quarter quell with her and Petta when they were separated. Also planning on meeting at the Tree at midnight to run off together and leave the rest of the allies. Now that we know the story with The Balland of Song Birds and Snakes. I understand it more and why Snow was scared and threatened by Katniss and the song. Remembering Lucy Gray with the pain of the love he felt for her and that made him weak, and the crimes he committed when he was a peacekeeper at district 12. With all that which made him become the dictator we all know. That history repeats itself and was part of his downfall.
It‘s nice because it fits both ways, it’s also fitting the way she wanted to run away with Gale several times
Snow probably shat his pants upon hearing this song again and thought Lucy was taunting him from beyond the grave when they interrupted Peeta’s interview.
And she records it in the ruins of 12 too. Which he had made a graveyard. Like a ghost awoke and called him to the grave with her
This was definitely my favourite of the four films, this scene gavd me chills when district 5 (I think it was 5) put the bombs in the capitol.
I though it's just an anthem. No, the original song was literally Snow's villain arc 😢
So many died for this but it was the turning point of the war
Thats the sound of snow falling ❄️🥀
All eyes on RAFAH
Palestine is not innocent. You fight your own war. Here in America we’ll have a generation of children unable to purchase a home. Unable to build anything, perpetually in debt thanks to a system built against them. We have our own war to fight.
