FILM DESCRIPTION:
Experience the story of THE HUNGER GAMES -- 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem. THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray's charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.

They're all moved by her singing - but she's not singing for any of them. She's singing for herself - and she's singing for her fellow fallen don't think any of them can see the contempt for them and the rest of the capitol that she is showing them in her eyes.

Appropriate - like Snow the snakes are caressing her almost like they're loving her....and like Snow there's always the risk that they may bite her at any

“When I’ve learned to Gets me every freaking time! She’s incredible!

1:34 and 1:47 Lucy - Queen of the Snakes.
You can as good as hear them threaten her in whispers as they coil around her like they're caressing her - "Do not leave us oh pretty one. We would have you stay with us. We would hear you sing again. Do not leave us oh queen."

Like they're placing a crown on her head while holding a knife against her throat.
I think that's a fairly decent way of describing how the Capitol treats the Games victors.

I loved her attitude. Before there was Katniss, there was her. She laid the groundwork for what Katniss would be like later.

1:27 He's realising what he can do - he can create a spectacle that moves people like can bring people under his power by creating a show like if he's not the one they're focusing their attention on he's the one at the centre of it in the end what he will always come back cannot resist power's have mattered if anything had happened differently before or afterwards, he will always return to power when it calls to him....

Let’s take a moment and appreciate the book version of this scene. It is day 4 of the Games. There are 7 kids left. Circ of District 3 and Coral of District 4 are eliminated by the snakes, leaving 5 tributes left to play. Teslee of District 3 and Mizzen of District 4 save themselves by climbing up poles and beams in the open field of the arena. Treech of District 7 is hiding in the stands and rubble because he ran quickly when he saw the snake, foolish kid thought the box containing the snakes was an extravagant gift for him originally, or at least that’s why Snow assumed he was walking towards the box before it opened. Reaper is still alive and Lucy Gray starts singing in the tunnels and walks out with snakes surrounding her. She is terrified but keeps singing all while barefoot, imagine the possible blisters she has and the radiation burns from the sun? After this unfolds I can’t remember if it was Lucky or Lepidus tells Dr.Gaul to take a bow for her amazing show. The Games then go on for another day and Lucy Gray uses one of the snakes to kill Treech when he nearly hacks her with his ax.

They should get Rachel Zegler to sing in every role, her voice is amazing.

[ImTheBoff]

I haven't seen the movie nor have I read the book. But I know this much. This is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs and performances in anything. Ever. To every single person who had anything to do with this piece of art. Thank you, and bravo. I'm gonna go finish crying now.

[roxanediby]

Me and my phobia of reptiles in front of this video but can't scroll because of this magnificent voice

[williambarajas]

[XeaRae]

This is so well edited. I love her voice going from live to transmitted and back!

[shymillz]

I KNOW WHY THE CAGE BIRD SING. The trumpet has sounded and the angels are singing. It's oh so beautiful.

[TheChaticartist]

Rachel Zegler in this clip single-handedly made me read the book and then all the hunger games books and then watch all the movies.

[TheExplorerK]

I was literally getting chills when I first saw this scene

[SUTABANI]

To all those comments that are calling this scene cringe.. read the damn books. It’ll make sense. 😊❤

[gheata_playz]

She's definitely a Disney Princess

[jaydenjohnson]

My heart just melted because her voice was amazing❤️🥹

[PfitzyBitzy]

I read somewhere once that she's not singing for the snakes in the arena, but the ones in the capital watching her

[JosephDutra]

Rachel Zegler commanded the screen! She is pure talent!
