Picked up on the rabies when he first refused water and was paranoid about it. Hydrophobia is a symptom of rabies.
I get where you are coming from about there is so much about Lucy Gray that is just unknown to us, but that is because the book is written from Snow's POV exclusively. It isn't first-person POV like we get in the original HG trilogy, but it's still ONLY from his POV. We don't get any scenes that he doesn't take part in; they slipped some of those into the first film because there was history about the games that Katniss tells us that she couldn't say in the film without it being clunky, so we see Caesar and his broadcasting buddy explain things to the audience, and we get to see Snow and Crane talking.
But in this movie, there weren't really any 3rd parties who could explain things to the audience, so we have to see it all from Snow's perspective. This is a young Capitol boy from one of the "finest families" who used to be rich, but then his father died and suddenly there was no breadwinner anymore. When we first meet him, he's always hungry and the only real meal he gets every day is at school. He's trying hard to look like he still fits in, claiming he "gave the driver the morning off" and mentioning "the maid's bathroom" when they clearly do not have a maid. EVERYTHING he does is a calculation, a way to get ahead, to win a scholarship so he go to university and land a good-paying position and put his family back on top. Everything. And when he sees the way Lucy Gray captures EVERYONE'S full attention with her clothes and the fact she put that snake in Mayfair's dress, and then sang a song at the Reaping…he realizes she can get him ahead.
That isn't to say he doesn't actually care about her, but it's on his own terms, and it's more possessive than anything else.
Unfortunately, the book is JAM-PACKED and it's almost twice the size the of the Mockingjay novel, so it really was too much to put in one movie; this might have been better as a limited series. But Snow does learn quite a bit about Lucy Gray before the games, and he gets to know her really well once he's in District 12. But she never does get the chance to REALLY learn about him, which is why she has trouble trusting him. And then he out and out lies to her, which kills the trust altogether, and she said that is more important than love.
In the books they kissed a few times. One of my favorites is when they kissed near when she had the cuffs on the table
1:38:57 – ALL OF THE FILMS are based on books. The film was actually MORE specific in the first half than it was in the second half. In the first four films, you are viewing everything through a tribute’s eyes (Katniss). That is the reason you get to actually know people better. This book and film is through the eyes of Snow. He was never a tribute, and was born and raised in the Capital. You got to see exactly what he saw, and how HE saw it. He only entered the games for those few moments to remove Sejanus. His connection to the games was NOT love towards Lucy, it was trying to win the Plinth Prize. You don’t even get to see her being crowned the winner, her post game interviews, nothing. Why? Because he didn’t care to watch them, he was being moved out to be a peacekeeper. He genuinely believed that they had killed her because he had cheated. There was NO POINT in this entire story where his intentions were NOT to get back into the Capitol. He even discusses it with Lucy, asking her to join him. This film was made to show his slow and steady decent into madness and power. The games had to be included because that was when he first killed, and where he met Lucy. It also showed how good of a friend he WAS to Sejanus. The second half needed to be attached because it showed his new ability to irrationally take a life, AND how his friendships no longer mattered. If they had split this film, it would’ve made zero sense.
Anyone who is a fan of Rachel probably lives in their room writing fan fics……
39:09 left off
his cousins still alive…..
“Are you coming to the tree” is the song katniss sung. It’s a theory that her grandmother is Maude ivory
How could they not be viewed as human before? Before what? Before you called them savages?
You guys should react to challengers with zendaya. (Just dropped online)
What the movie doesn't show as well is that in the book Coriolanus is really driven by fear. He is starving, paranoid, traumatized by the war, and loss. The book does a much better job showing the trauma of the war and everything after and his internal struggle with being scared all the time. I think he craves control and power, because it helps him feel safe. Anything else makes him vulnerable to being a victim in that society. When he says it's the thing we love most that destroys us, I thought it was power and control. People always talk about how evil he is. I feel like the book also highlights really well how much of a product of his toxic environment he is.
Also, he wants to win the prize because it will pay for college and college will secure him a future. And if he doesn't win they have barely any source of income and their futures will be pretty bleak. That's why he's working so hard to do well in school, win the prize, be a mentor, etc.
There’s a lack of chemistry because this isn’t a love story, they never once trusted each other and always kept each other at an arms length. Both were fascinated by one another but not enough to give up their lives
the songs are original!! they are a part of the book and the lyrics were turned into songs for the movie!
I suggest you rewatch the originals I promise you they would hit different now (not because of the prequel but because I feel like you don't get of good and complex the movies really are at first)
OK but imagine it from Snow's perspective: he has ONE conversation about katniss and mockingjays and hears one song, once, completely covers up all traces of it, and then SIXTY FIVE YEARS LATER a girl called Katniss gets nicknamed 'the Mockingjay', sings that song, and brings about his ultimate downfall. If the 'Maude Ivory being Katniss' grandmother' theory is true, goddamn does Maude Ivory deserve her dues
This movie, the Suicide Squad movies, and the Woman King all have the same moral: don't piss off Viola Davis
This movie is awful. But you guys are incredible
17:29 Ha, funny you say that because in the book the snake bite she receives starts turning her into a literal snake!
