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.

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

“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.

I like to think this scene reflects a lot about the people with Katniss and who will continue to be her allies.

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."

No - *jabberjays* are the mutts. The Capitol abandoned them in the wild not expecting them to survive.

That's WHY it's a symbol of the revolution

I think what's most powerful/unnerving about this is that you really do have to push a group of people too far that they willingly sacrifice themselves as human shields to allow a job to be done against you. The fact that the song was quite impactful and emotional too made it even more emblematic

It's also why Haymitch gives Plutarch that look and the mocking "you sir are a true wordsmith". The Hanging Tree is a song written and sung by people who have been pushed too far, people with nothing left to lose. Trying to turn it into an anthem of hope with a few word changes is totally missing the point, and Plutarch, as a (repentant) member of the Capital government, doesn't understand that. Neither does Coin, but Betee and Haymitch understand it perfectly.

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.

This scene is STILL beautiful to watch here in 2024! That's good film making! 😃❤️🧡

Everyday we grow closer to the hungry games

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.

I always tear up when I hear all of them singing. A revolutionary song with people knowing they will die but with a cause. A promise of freedom for all

it was so wild learning snows backstory and hearing lucy gray sing this song

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

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.

Ian Hawke once had a staring contest with the sun - this is where night time came from.

I though it's just an anthem. No, the original song was literally Snow's villain arc 😢

Welcome to 80th Hunger games😭😭😭😭 All eyes on Rafah

After reading/watching Balled, this song has a whole new meaning to me

I told you dave… i never lose.

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!

@@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 )

No wonder he hated Katniss. He must have been reminded of Lucy at every turn. Good.

I can’t imagine how this song is going to grow in coming years as a symbol of fight against political abuse for the common peoples. Especially with the state of many governments currently, I feel this song will grow as it signifies it well. It is truely beautiful and some would even say, surreal to imagine

Ian Hawke never loses

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.

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

I wish they had included a scene of old Snow reacting to people singing this song in the new movie.

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.

Man I need to rewatch this

truly a revolution song it is!

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.

Finally sobbing after having just finished reading A Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes. I was so floored by the end I just couldn't emote. But hearing this again and reflecting on the book I just feel so deeply for Lucy Gray. Going to see the movie tonight. I know it's gonna be amazing.

Lucy Gray's fate is unknown, but her legacy still lives on

No one will ever know how much I love this scene

Like if the Revolution brought you here.

This scene give me chills. True emotional.

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

Is it ever not?

This song is more more than just a song for a movie. This message is real.

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
