It’s wild how Snow thought running through the forest YELLING AND WIELDING A WEAPON was the appropriate way to get Lucy Gray to talk to him lol

trin the wig oh my god

Tigris calling him Coriolanus instead of Coryo, and telling him he looked just like his father got me chills. That’s the exact moment she knew he was not the same…

tbh i think tom being casted and so attractive speaks to the fact that snow probably used his attractiveness as a way to gain power

I really need them to release the 4.5 hour version of this movie

Lucy going into the Hunger Games with an Esmeralda dress and breaking Snow's heart is Mother

Hunter delivered that last Tigris line so good.

Trin with the wig: Snow Trin without the wig: Heather Chandler

“I’m just sending water” “Tuberculosis on legs” “I’m going to have to cancel my reservation” You can’t say it wasn’t a comedy

Really is crazy how he basically robbed sejanus after killing him (if you read the book you’d know there was cash behind that framed diploma) and then continues to take advantage of his parents smh crazy

There are actually mayors in the original books, I guess it just wasnt mentioned in the movies. In the books katniss is given the mockingjay pin by the mayor's daughter

I think it’s interesting how he finds Lucy’s earring in the mud after he shot at her and pockets it… just to continue hunting her. Like he’s sick and twisted for real

I completely agree with what you said about Coriolanus wanting to own Lucy Gray. In the book he's constantly thinking about her in such disgusting, possessive terms, that she belongs to him, she's his, he literally gets angry about the fact that she had a life before she met him, like calm down

the fact that trin and rachel are friends makes all this more amazing

I love the way Lucy’s disappearance played out. Not only Snows spiral, but the question becomes did Lucy plan to leave for good when she left the cabin? Maybe she did go out to get Katniss, and took an extended amount of time to see how Snow would react, given his quickness to kill loose ends. Was it a final chance to see Snows true colors? Did she stay around until the first gunshots went off, or was she already gone and him saying he killed 3 was enough proof for her? We don’t know. We only know Lucy from Snow’s perspective, really driving forward the mystery of Lucy Gray.

The way you described Snow being in love with Lucy Gray is exactly how I see it. Boy was in love in the way that he wanted to keep her in a cage by his side forever so he always knows where she is and she can never leave. Like he literally wishes she was back in the cage in the capitol when he's with her in 12, there is something SEVERELY wrong with this man.

Just a quick little correction, driven snow is freshly fallen snow blown into drifts by the wind, “pure as the driven snow” does actually mean pure/untouched 😅 The song is more an illustration of Lucy Gray’s belief that she can trust Coriolanus

i so appreciate how this tale (movie + book) not only opens up the world and lore of the Hunger Games, but also accomplished NOT making Snow a redeemable or flawed hero - despite how attractive he was lol. Kudos.

hey bestie! “driven snow” actually is an old term from the 1500s that means snow that was carried by the wind into drifts. the saying actually does mean to be pure! i think it’s supposed to speak as to how she sees him, in contrast to who he really is. the driven-through snow theory does make sense and also could have been intentional though! another cool word play thing about it is like driven Snow, as in he is driven and ambitious and nothing gets in his way. he’s only pure until that becomes his downfall. snow may land on top but it doesn’t stay for very long…

The most pivotal scene in my opinion is when he kills in the arena, you could see the shift in his eyes when he continued to beat up the boy even though he could have left after the first punch. He was obviously shaken up by his actions but when he told Tigris about the power he felt I just knew this was when something shifted in his psyche. I haven’t read the book where I know he always had a superiority complex and was bad, but in the movies I think this was the first big step towards the reality that we see unfold in the hunger games trilogy.

I think Coral going after Lucy Gray is because Lucy Gray is obviously the favourite and has the attention of the Capitol more than any of the others, similar to how Katniss was the careers’ main target in her first games

when he comes back from district 12 his hair is so much more white (cold), i love that they did that to show his change in character from before he snapped to now

"there is no worse crime than being annoying" REALLY GOT ME OMG

The book definitely adds a lot of information/context, but also makes it harder to empathize with Coryo. There are moments when you still do, but hearing his inner dialogue- he feels entitled to Lucy Gray after he believes he “saved her and sacrificed everything for her” (like boy no you did that for yourself and your future) so he started to give me the ick like halfway through instead of at the very very end lol

Rachel has an amazing voice, she should honestly sing in more projects.

that viola davis impression almost made me cry laughing,, why DID she say that??? thank you viola

Not only was the Mockingjay pin originally given to Katniss by her bestie Madge who was the Mayor's daughter, but its original owner was also Madge's aunt who was both Katniss's mother's bestie and Haymitch's ally in the Second Quarter Quell (man held her hand as she bled out to death)

The idea of people in the capitol still facing property is alluded to (from my interpretation) in the Mockingjay book. Specifically when katniss and crew camp out at those different apartments and all they have are a few cans of food. And then with castor talking about it taking his family 5 years to save up to bring pollux home. Just an added element of the capitol just being about appearances of oppulence. But those appearances don't really benefit anybody but the very few people who actually have control and are in power.

My favorite line is after the reaping when Lucy gray finishes signing one of snows classmates says “well she’s mentally ill”

Some notes: -Mayors were there even in the trilogy but they didn’t include that in the movies, just in the books, the mayor’s daughter was even the character who gave Katniss the Mockingjay pin and they were friends (in the movie Prim gave it to her) -The start of the hunger games from Lucy’s POV was honestly great since in the book it was just from Snows’s POV -Lucy didn’t write “The hanging tree” for snow, it was about the execution and also it was in the POV of her ex lover (Billy Taupe) who tells her to meet him at the hanging tree and by the end before he dies he tries to stop Lucy from fleeing away, the whole song was explained in the book. -Pure as driven snow is actually not that meaning, the song meant that she trusted him, you can look what “Driven snow” actually means. -They don’t play the recording when they hang Sejanus in the book, so we never actually know if Sejanus knew that Snow betrayed him, all of this is honestly so sad, Sejanus deserved better. -I loved the mystery aspect of the ending in that we never know what happened to Lucy gray, just like in the ballad, there’s so many possibilities. Tbh the book gives more context on everything as it is always the case but the movie was really good!! Suzanne Collins is honestly a genius with her writing and discussing important topics by inserting them in the story!

She paid homage to the iconic j law’s bow in hunger games where she says “thank you for consideration” and I thought it was a cute lil mic drop cause she wasn’t supposed to bow lol and Jennifer even said to her jokingly that she stole her bow😂

the buzzcut was a set up like i’m just a girl

snow is sue sylvester in another universe

Fun fact: adrenaline can make you do crazy things like lift a beam off the boy you think is as pure as the driven snow 😂

Okay but Trin definitely ATE up the Dr. Gaul impression

Omg her performance with the snakes was so good, just thinking about it makes me wanna cry

Opening shot jump scare. I love it.

"That man's got a skirt and he's not afraid to use it" - great line! Loved it!

I think my favorite thing about this prequel is the worldbuilding/lore. The origin of The Hanging Tree, the song that became an anthem for the revolution (at least in the movie, not 100% clear about the book), being written by Snow’s ex! Possible Katniss ancestry (Lucy Gray’s cousin, Maude Ivory)!

love that you brought up the sue sylvester comparison because not only does he dress like her but he literally thinks like her in the book

In the books Katniss gets her Mockingjay pin from the mayor’s daughter, but it was cut in the movie. So in the books the Mayer and his daughter plays a bigger role but I think it was cut for time.

His last words in the movie and the book made me seethe lol, I wanted to yeet it right out the window after finishing like idk what I was expecting I mean it’s his literal villain origin story and I know his love story is doomed but you just automatically feel yourself rooting for 18 year old snow until he’s no longer coryo. But I mean at least the book made me feel something that’s for sure😂 literally bawled for sejanus during the book and the second time watching as well. And the fact coryo is sobbing and apologizing before he proceeds to rob him is crazy. Like are you sorry tho? Sure just keep taking money from his parents as well. Guess guilt isn’t your thing but poison sure is

they way you are able to mimicking the exact cadence the actors say lines is crazy trin 😭😭😭

District 12s mayor is also a big plot point in the books because his daughter gives katniss the mockingjay pins because they're friends

Rachel is such an icon and she was the perfect choice for Lucy Gray Baird like she’s just so talented, one of the most powerful people today

The jumpscare girl The way they made snow a twink is criminal, they knew we would crumble

Yes, the districts do have mayors. They cut it from the movie for time, but the mayor of district 12 actually knew the everdeens and was seemingly fond of them. His daughter, Madge was the only person other than Gale whom Katniss considered a “friend.” Madge is originally the one to give Katniss the Mockingjay pin when she visits Katniss after the reaping.

I liked this movie because it showed what the hunger games were, vs what they are (or again, were since they don’t exist in that canon anymore). The tributes being so poorly kept, Jessup dying from rabies, the girl with tuberculosis, the other girl who died before the games, mentioning how it’s possible for most tributes to die from hunger and dehydration first. But by the time the 74th games are around the tributes are treated like royalty. And I like how in the movie a lot of that is implied of Snow’s doings. It also makes me realize the hunger games was probably originally a couple hour event versus the multi-day event in the 74th. I’d really like to see more movies and books about the games themselves and even more about how snow works his way up to becoming president, it would be an interesting thing with the hunger games of course having their own stories but also having an overarching background story of Snow’s rise and fall. It would be pretty cool I think. Some of the lines I thought were a bit corny but I liked it, and the actors did an amazing job. I’d need to see it again to really understand it but I enjoyed it, can’t wait for it to hit streaming, and I really hope Collins delves deeper into this universe and how Snow and even Tigris end up in their spots, because Tigris used to be a designer in the games and what exactly happened to have her not be in that position anymore?? So much to explore, so many questions. Ziegler’s voice is amazing and fits Lucy Grey so much in terms of just having a strong and powerful singing voice. Anyways, I think it was a great movie, I’d definitely rate it a 4/5 as well))

I feel like most questions you had , are all answered in the book. For example , not only was the mayor mentioned in the FIRST hunger games book , Katniss' best friend from district 12 was Madge, the Mayors daughter

Why does Trin do such a good Viola Davis 😂😂😂

i thought of the school bell prompting the beginning of the games as a way of saying, “lesson has started” since part of the reason for the games is to serve as a lesson for the districts-in addition to the fact that they’re kids.

I appreciate that the show isn't just the Hunger Games again. It's a new creative movie in a world I like. It could have easily been another uninspired cash in.

"Driven Snow" is actually referring to pure white snow drifts. Its an old timey phrase that i just happened to have looked up by coincidence a few days before seeing the movie. So yeah, its snow thats be blown into drifts.

Funnily enough in the first Hunger Games book one of the first Characters who is introduced is one of Katniss’ only “friends” Madge Undersee the Mayor of district 12’s daughter who is actually the person who gives Katniss the Mockingjay pin at the Seam (not Greasy Sae) Mayors have been in the book universe Trin! (Still betrayed you haven’t read the books)

Hey there me again. She didn’t write Hanging Tree about Snow. There’s a whole mental rant he goes on in the book because he’s over her writing about Billy Taupe which is who The Hanging Tree is about. She didn’t have enough knowledge about Snow to insinuate he’d “wear a necklace of rope side by side with me” which means basically getting hung together. Just wanted to clear that up because the movie does a shit job 😅

Sejanus wanted to be a medic but in the book they wouldn’t let him because he was to good at shooting (like bro just fake being bad like what)

23:10 yeah in the movie the snakes seems like out of nowhere, in the books the snakes play a much bigger role and are like a looming danger for a while on coryo's mind, also in the books doctor gaul has been publicly executing tributes like for quite a while if i remember correctly she pareded them aound in chains like 2 times so the snakes to end all the tributes seem like more of a fitting thing in the books

I think Sejanus also was very much broken after the games. He started out relatively level-headed and smart, but witnessing his friend being brutalized in the capitol and the Hunger Games, nearly dying there himself, it must have really traumatized him. Maybe he had nightterrors over and over again and was impatient in district 12 because a part of him hoped it would put and end to his suffering if he could make a change for the better. And we should consider he's only 18 or sth, fresh out of school, maybe not the age where you're able to plan successfull rebellion or sth.

The costume?? Oh you’re taking it🙏🏾

Rachel and Tom were amazing as Lucy and Snow! I loved Trin’s in depth insight on the film, Hunter ate as Tigrass as well!

JUMPSCARED BY THE BOB WIG

Mayors have always been a thing because in the Hunger Games book it’s the mayor’s daughter who gives Katniss the mockingjay pin.

We appreciate Trin's insights on this film. Seems like she goes into depth with how this whole movie plays out.

girl i did not expect you in costume 😭😭

A little saddened that we didn’t also get a Michael Microphone collab for this one, but a Trin solo adventure is always a good time! I also really enjoyed the movie!

every content creator is feeding my obsession with the hunger games with their vid releases recently 😂😂😂

Especially when get the context of the book, it makes you wanting to watch it again

Girl the districts have had mayors! Katniss was given her mockingjay pin by the mayor’s daughter, who was her friend. I think they’re there to report to the capitol and be a ruling figure for the Capitol because they’re very rich

the fact, that I watched the movie once and just couldn't help ms to see it twice, cause something about it got me hooked, ofc it's not perfect and some things weren't included like the 1st kiss and the development of the games and snow's healing process, from the terrorists attack, which took more time in books and was way more descriptive, but still the performance of the main characters, lucy's gray voice, iconic visuals and overall atmosphere is just top-notch actually the mayor's drop was in the 1st book, but they didn't include it in the movie, btw, mayor's daughter gave katniss legendary mocking jay as a present, but if you haven't read the book, it's gonna be a surprise

The relationship between Coriolanus and Lucy reminds me of a quote from Mike Flanagan's Haunting of Bly Manor: "People do, don't they? Mix up love and possession. I don't think that should be possible. I mean, they're opposites, really. Love and ownership."

there were mayors in the books!! the pin was given to katniss by the mayor’s daughter in the books!!!

snow lands on top (of me)

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the snakes felt a bit rushed. Which stinks cause a lot of that scene worked so well, it was just too much too fast

Watching snow turn evil was heartbreaking. The actor did a great job portraying both sides of his character, I feel

2thing I need to get out of my chest 1. Snow is so smart and clever and he couldn't came up with a better answer when asked about the third one??? Like babes c'mon 2. By the point the games started Lucy gray must've been stinking.

GIRL that opening with the red blazer and WIGGG had me GAGGED

For 6:01 katniss was actually bestfriends (sorta) with Madge the mayors daughter and she’s the one who gives katniss the mockingjay pin in the books 😭

I have been WAITING for this video!! Love the matching costume, as always! ✨

Holy crap yea I just realized they don’t hold a memorial for the fallen ones but thanks to reaper it’s somewhat easy to keep track when he stacks them side by side. And I thought it was funny cause instead of accepting his fate in the movie, he’d still be stacking bodies by one another while Lucy messes with him since they go head to head in the end (she basically distracts him with flag😅 remnants to get him to come after her and down to the puddle) yea explaining that just now made no sense as for a few other deaths so I see why they changed it in the movie lol

Your voice overs in the characters are so GOOD!!!!

the dedication to the wardrobe in this video is everything and more ty trin bae 😚😚

girl what do you mean you didn't know there were mayors? Katniss' best friend in the books is the daughter of the mayor of district 12

This is such a respite from finals god bless you Trin

I am so obsessed with this video I loveee the bosas hype like I am so obsessed with this movie. also I have literally listened to this soundtrack like a hundred times oop rachel ate that soundtrack up

Everyone keeps talking about how fine snow is, but what about my men reaper and treech??😭

Man I want to watch it three times too. I watched it second time yesterday. You right. THERES SOMETHING that you cant get sick of

I’m absolutely dead from Trin just staring at me in a red suit with a blonde wig I can’t🤣😭😭

i love hearing your opinions on such movies it’s always so interesting

Yea usually obsessions stem from planned meetings lol so it was doomed from the start and explains the lack of a meet cute cause planned meetings seem almost stalkerish but it would’ve gone toxic regardless

And people thinking Lucy the villain cause she played him only for him to turn into one anyway, yet they were probably both playing each other let’s be real. And she did the right thing leaving first but I think as soon as he got bit he felt betrayal and the footprints he saw were definitely his cause her feet ain’t that big and he had just been circling the forest looking for her. And the fact he has no idea what happens to her drives him mad bc she’s probably off long gone and taunting him so he shoots at the mockingjay for singing hanging tree then he gets rid of the guns anyway

ur so right when u said it’s rewatchable bc i really want to see it AGAIN

literally watching this on my phone and tv at the same time. you slayed this look

I've watched this movie three times and Trin makes the impressions so well that I'm watching the movie for the fourth time😂😂

new trin vid today is gonna be a good day

if u don’t want to read the books i def recommend listening to the audiobooks! the storyline and plot details are so much richer and add sm to the watching experience and a lot of the questions u had are answered! amazing vid as always ❤️

girl read the book 😭 u will love it even more

Honestly idk if this is because of recency bias but i think this is my fav movie of the whole hg series. Catching fire was my fav but ballads of the songbirds and snakes is just so raw & powerful. And i think lucy gray is just such a unique character

Enjoyed your take on the movie and your cosplay was top tier

day just got better LETS GOOO ‼️
