I love how Snow's inevitable demise is constantly foreshadowed throughout the movie with Dr Gaul's "rainbow of destruction".
First we see it in Lucy's dress:
Then the snakes:
And finally, the very last scene:
It doesn't matter that "Snow lands on top" at the end of this movie because everyone knows how his story ends. Even though it will take a very long time...
That's what I call poetic cinemaš

Fun family story: when my aunt was marrying her wife everyone was really excited but also dreading it because my aunt is known for her insanely long speeches so everyone knew her vows would be like 9 hours long so when it came time for her to say her vows she had a shit ton of cue cards in her hands and even her wife started groaning and my aunt took a deep inhale and then unravelled all the cue cards which were taped together and they all just read āHOT DAMNā in giant letters and those were my aunts vows.
I think the ballad of songbirds and snakes is important bc it shows so clearly the cruelty and unfairness of the games. And that is the POINT. Coral dying and saying āit canāt have been all for nothing. I canāt have killed them all for nothing.ā
Dr Gaul telling Snow that the world is the arena and you have to be a victor, because humans are at their base level cruel and vicious animals. Theyāll either kill or celebrate your death. Cry for their favorites who die and ignore the gamesā cruelty for the ones who donāt matter.
Lucy saying even at the end that people are born with goodness inside of them and the world turns them evil. Who writes songs about what the Capital cannot take away. Whose songs drive snow insane because he canāt make them! He canāt truly understand them! Because what is the opposite of death and cruelty and bloodthirsty spectacle? Life and celebration and the soul. Lucy turns the murder of someone at the hands of the state into a song of rebellion. And that same song eventually brings snow down.
Itās two opposing points of views-what drives the world? Death or life? What is humanityās base nature?
And snow and the games argue that it is always death, which is why his downfall comes from a girl named after a food source plant, who sings, and a boy who literally gives her the bread of life out of a random act of kindness .
Itās why Gale loses everything too. Because gale in the end sees the world the way snow does. All humanity is about cruelty and survival through more cruelty. And with that attitude you can do anything. You can kill children to make sure more children donāt die.
Itās not about capital and districts or the arena and the world-itās that all these are one thing-so what are they? What makes up the world? What is humanity?
Collins is once again light years ahead of where anyone thinks she is.
i think something people miss when watching fleabag is that we're not really supposed to like fleabag all that much and yeah sure shes relatable cause shes flawed and shes human and youre not obligated to defend her actions
she hurt people around her constantly and she realizes that
is coriolanus snow evil and vile? yes. yes he is. but you know what else he is? a big lame LOSER
what if they filmed tbosas the way fleabag is filmed so that the audience got to see snow's inner monologue, so every so often tom blyth would turn to the camera and just talk.

Something I love about Suzanne is the fact that she leaves so many things for us to pick up on if we pay attention. One of the things I really began to pick up on was just how juxtaposed Peeta and Katniss and Snow and Lucy Gray are. We all know that she created both young Snow and Lucy Gray to resemble Katniss and Peeta, but the way she compares and contrasts them is just *chefs kiss*
Of course, the dynamics between the pairs are vastly different. Rachel said it beautifully in an interview regarding the comparisons between Katniss and Lucy Gray, āLucy Gray is a performer forced to fight, Katniss was a fighter forced to huntā, but Iāve heard little about people comparing Snow to Peeta.
My headcanon is that Snow also has a deep disdain for Peeta. Not in the same way that he loathes Katniss, but because he canāt help but see Peeta as a "weaker" version of himself.
Peeta wants Katniss to be free and is willing to let Katniss make decisions for herself. A fantastic example is when she starts her situationship with Gale. Peeta doesnāt force her to be with him. But, when Lucy Gray sings her ballad during her interview, Snow canāt help but feel disgust over the fact that he doesnāt have control over her; that she could be giving her love to someone else when he feels like he is the only one deserving of it.
Peeta cares so deeply about Katniss, showing time and time again that heās willing to put his life on the line to ensure she survives and I believe that Snow canāt help but hate him for it. He can never fathom caring about someone more than he cares about himself; only caring about self-preservation. Snow may see Peeta's compassion and think itās a waste of time. He probably believes that at some point Katniss will betray Peeta, much like he believes Lucy Gray did to him.
Suzanne writes with such intention, leaving no loose ends in any of her stories. There are so many comparisons between the characters that it is hauntingly beautiful, but she also makes them very distinct and unique. I can't help but believe that this decision to create these characters in this fashion was not only intentional but extremely implied.
