i'm surprised there was no sin for him looking like a knock off eminem

The book doesn't translate very well sadly - the movie rushed a lot of the story and that is part of the problem, but the main thing is how much the story is about Snow's inner thoughts. Like how much he hates the districts, and keeps thinking of Lucy Grey as not from the districts, and just how sorry he is for himself the whole time. It's quite chilling to read him think his classmate lucky to get paired with someone he knew as a mentor, the lack of empathy grows throughout and his "good" actions are all just self serving. He has that high kill rate, but he thinks he's the victim in all of it, a perfect set up of his character in the original trilogy!

16:17 now I want someone to re-edit the whole hunger games trilogy and replace the name "katniss" with "swamp potato"

every "whys he call her lucy gray" sin is null and void bc there is a scene where she explicitly requests to be called her full and proper first name, which is lucy gray

I think the producers are way hungrier than the characters in the movie

Would have been better as a series, so much of the story is introspective. Snow was never ‘good’, he just became worse because when conflicted he always chose self-preservation.

The reason they call her songbird all the time is because she was a part of a family of traveling performers/singers.

Why does everyone not seem to understand Southern/Appalachian culture? Two first names are incredibly common here.

Oh no, the movie called the "BALLAD" of "SONG"birds and snakes has singing!?!?!?! What a baffling concept

The director got burned by splitting the third book into 2 movies, following Harry Potter and refused to split this book that is obviously 2 separate but related stories into 2 movies. Consequently, the first half was missing some of Snow's most important character developement snd the second half was just missing most of that story. They cut everything but the callbacks, which made them feel unnecessary. In the book, the only one of the callbacks that felt shoehorned in was the katnis.

this is why I'm so mad they took out the explanation of the naming scheme in the covey.... ALL of them have two first names and it's a really important thing to their culture. their first name is from a ballad and their second name is a color. in lucy gray's case, there was an actual ballad about a girl named lucy gray, so they hit two birds with one stone with her name. it's very important to her that she's lucy gray, not just lucy. even rachel zegler has spoken on this, I wish they explained it in the movie like they did in the book.

17:18 CINEMA SINS SIN: They did show a map during the Hunger Games portion of the movie, "Lucky" Flickerman was doing a weather broadcast when it was slow and showed a map that has Panem as basically all of North America

Personal preference, there should have been a bonus round every time he said Lucy Grey

There better be a joke about snow looking like 2000's Eminem. I watched this and actually said "Will the real Slim Shady please stand up" when I saw his shaved head!

District 12 is supposed to be in West Virginia(the coal belt of the US) but Lucy's accent is soaked in Texas whiskey and dried in the Mississippi sun.

shocked there wasn't a sin removed for Lucky Flickerman's lines. Man was hilarious

He jokingly said that this is a musical but why wasn't it? The books had a ton of internal monologues that a movie can't translate but a musical could. (And their singing the whole time anyway)

The “I didn’t kill them all for nothing.” Wasn’t selfishness. She was forced to do horrible things and in the end it did not pay off. A lot of these are not sins. Those that are sins are hilarious.

I think that a lot of these would not be sins to people who have read the books, but for some reason they insisted on not splitting this book into two movies and as a result anyone who watched without reading was left in the dark on a lot of very important information

I was surprised they weren’t sinned for calling the snake poisonous.

Take that sin away for the shirt because Tigris had to sell herself to get him that nice shirt 😢

They do in fact give us a map of panem

It’s not really about her being the best singer ever. The circumstances are dire. No other contestant sang for the whole nation to see. Lucy gray stood out. Anyone watching would remember her for singing. And singing also seemed to calm her in times of stress. Some of these sins are kinda lazy. I been a fan for years tho. I respect the consistency and dedication y’all put into the craft.

I'm shocked there wasn't a joke about Snow looking like Eminem later in the movie.

The slew of bleeps at the end for the snow pun! I love when Jeremy gets so angry at something like that.

To have any idea what’s happening in 90% of this movie you have to have read the book at least 3 separate times.

I know this is cinema sins, but moments sinned here like Gal's monologue to Snow and the covering of the tributes seemed incorrectly interpreted. Like you weren't actually paying attention to the movie. Gal's speech to Snow about "Leaving a boy with a club..." Wasn't scolding him. It was to make a point about how desperate measures can turn even the most "proper" of people into savage beasts. And the covering of the tributes wasn't about how well you know/care about the tributes, themselves. It was about the guy basically calling out the fault of the capitol while simultaneously giving dignity to the victims, something that would've been seen as defiance to a society which runs on pride. I love cinema sins, and maybe I'm just nit picking, but that particular commentary seemed like it didnt actually understand the point of the movie.

"Omg this is a musical?" And "what is happening?" Were my exact reactions 😂 And the lucy Grey thing too😂😂😂

i was so looking forward to being able to explain almost all of these sins with. book reference i was not disappointed

"Movie doesnt give me a map" THERE WAS A MAP WHEN LUCKY REPORTED THE WEATHER YOU JUST CHOSE TO IGNORE IT!

this movie feels like advertising for Rachel's singing career.

am i the only one that feels like he maybe just didn't comprehend the movie very well ? lol

2:46 Between Wonka, The Marvels, Wish and this, Thanksgiving/Christmas 2024 is the season of musicals.

Lucy Grey is her first and and she explains that in the film, it’s expanded more in the book but she does specifically correct people who call her just Lucy.

14:48 Upon enlisting in the peacekeepers, you have to serve a mandatory 20 years before you can leave. People in the capitol often do it to avoid debt and the ones in the districts do it for a better life or for the “honour” of fighting for Panem

They actually do provide you with a map, when a Lucky is doing the weather report.

Damn usually I'm so into Cinema Sins but they way they very much do not understand the book (or Appalachian culture: see double-barrel names) makes this one a hard watch lol. Ballad is in the title lol of course she sings?

I will be calling them danger noodles from here on out.

Didn't expect to find a description of this movie as good as "written by a hammer"

The Hanging Tree callback gives me chills it was amazing, not a sin in my book lol

in the books she makes a big deal about how her name is "Lucy Grey" and makes sure everyone, especially Coriolanus, calls her by her full given name. One sin off

I mean, she sings in the novel too

My little brother has a friend named Anne Marie. And he has never once called her anything less

Monty Python woulda gone with "Dr. Volumnia Buttocks"

I've never been so excited and so early in my entire life for a Cinema Sins

9:05 hahaha, i literally thought the same watching this line. I was like "what is really going on here? Did they actually leave snow with a club?"

2:36 “Wanna get bit? Jump around and wiggle. Agitate the danger noodle” lmao

They called him Coriolanus because he had a spinning bumhole.

snow lands on top is still such a cold line

They aren’t forced call backs btw, Swamp potato/Katniss was in the original book trilogy which were written before the Ballad of S&S. The hanging tree was an old song passed through the generations of district 12 and was introduced in the original trilogy too.

1:23 No, more ancient Rome like a lot of the other Capitol names. I mean, the main character’s name is Coriolanus.

It was when they made an Honest trailer that I learned they made a book that's a prequel to Hunger games, and made a movie.

I read this book and had so many questions. I watched the movie to hopefully answer some of those questions. I was left with more questions

Ok, but milk with peanut butter crackers absolutely slaps so there’s that

Oh yeah, and if this is the 10th annual games, and he's 17-18, that would have made him 93 by Catching Fire, so either they really effed up the timeline or he's super spry by then.

Think Cinemasins would ever sin that old movie Zathura? The movie that was basically Jumanji but in space? lmao

The one thing this movie proved to me is that Francis Lawrence as a director is the one of the better ones out there with regards to how they creates atmosphere. The Hunger Games movies have done very well with that kind of thing and I even love how much better he did it with a film like I am Legend. This is why I am very happy he's the one directing the BioShock film for Netflix if that ever gets made. With the writer of Blade Runner 2049 and Logan might I add.

8:13 literally ignoring the whole theme of "the people in the capital live in such luxury they forget what being human is like" to make a lame non-joke of a sin.

I mean she specifically requested for everyone to call her Lucy gray

It's only a musical if random people join in. You really got me with that Lion's Gate jab. lol

8:00 Lucy Gray is her proper name, she corrects/calls out people who only call her Lucy

If you're going to use Firefly clips in the outtakes, your arsenal really need Mal's line to Jayne from "Our Mrs. Reynolds" - "Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."

“Agitate the danger noodle.” My single most favorite thing you have ever said 😂

'To show the world america can take Koushun Takami's book and make an inferior copy?' I think that's the loudest and most involuntary laugh I've laughed to one of these videos in a while

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

i wonder if snow could've said the third person he killed was Jessup and explain to Lucy Gray that he was the one who had the water sent

The sheer baffled contempt in the laughter at 19:00 made my week

Forgot to mention during the initial bloodbath scene. Panlo (the male tribute from district nine) fell to his knees after tanner attacks him and then two seconds later when lucy gray collides in to him... tanner attacks him the same exact way resulting in panlo falling to his knees in the exact same way.

A lot of the sins you named would've made sense if you read the book

oh i have been waiting for this

Note to self: check out the zeer pot method for no electricity refrigeration. Thanks!

My mom and I saw this a few weeks ago. It was good

I'm mad there were no sins off for the "Nothing you can take from me" song But I gotta say, the book was entirely better. There was so much material to cover that unless this movie was like 8 hours, that was not possible.

Been waiting for this one! Loved this movie

Viola Davis is the shit indeed 😂 Voilà!

This movie is super good actually.

I’ve been waiting for this one

5:00 taking a Joke from the good place and passing it as your own! 😊

2:00 A drunken short person + names like "Wovey" fighting for their District: Hunger Games+ Game of Thrones + Harry Potter = a total mess.

Funnily enough, when we came out of the theatre and it started to actually snow

The people who say Hunger Games ripped off Battle Royale have yet to read The Long Walk or hear about Theseus and the Minotaur

19:21 pov every Single human in the Cinema 😂

I had low expectations and I ended up liking it a lot.

Fun fact: Suzanne Collins gets a good portion of her names from Roman stories and Shakespeare plays. Coriolanus Snow gets his name from the Shakespeare play Coriolanus, or the Roman general Gaius Marcius Coriolanus. Vipsania Sickle gets her name from Vipsania Agrippina, a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, and in the other movies, President Snows grand daughter is named Agrippina

I really enjoyed this movie. I think he went a bit too hard on it

The stab in the heart that was the Firefly reference *sob*😭

17:18 we are actually shown a map of Panem in the start of the movie on Lucky Flickerman's segment

"Lets hope Lionsgate doesn't" Either I laughed way to much or this is the best line ever!!!!!

Absolutely wild that he sinned a lady crying for hearing a girl doomed to be killed singing a song about her lost love. Basic decency and empathy is cringe as hell

Leaving Lucy Grey without follow up makes the story so tragic (figuratively) to me, writer really blue balled that arc

Loved the Jack/Joe Buck reference. I grew up listening to Jack Buck call the Cards games all summer long with my dad. We’d have the tv on when the games were televised, but the sound was Jack on KMOX. Joe is better than most announcers, but his father was truly in a league of his own. ❤

I just recently watched Killer Klowns from Outer Space for the first time ever a few weeks ago, I loved it But you guys should totally do that movie for a video someday

Hunger Games version in Canada is South Park.

Holy shit, legit burst out laughing (horribly, inappropriately) at the train line

This is one of the ones where I laughed the hardest 😂 the jokes were so funny! Although I love The Hunger Games series.

Thanks for the video

The guy randomly laughing so many times through the video like at 19:04 is crazy

Love that it's a musical! Will never unhear that...

the buffalo bills comment threw me off guard😭

YES!! I love firefly outtakes 😍🤩🥹🥹
