We talk about how they took inspiration from Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), Sejanus Plinth (Josh Andrés Rivera) and Clemensia Dovecote (Ashley Liao). We take you through the full history of the Games, all the way from the first games, to the 10th, the 25th, the 50th (Haymitch’s Games), 74th, 75th and 76th, etc. The complex design of the arena and the gamemakers', like Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), contributions. The toll the games can have on Victor’s like Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) and Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin). How someone like Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) managed to win two games in a row, after volunteering as tribute for her sister Willow Shields, also known as Primrose Everdeen. Katniss was a fend off career tributes, not protect Rue (Amandla Stenberg) and free herself from the tropical arena. We explore why the gamemakers try to feed the narrative of Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Katniss being a couple. How the Games and the system subtly keep district 1- 12 residents like Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) stuck needing to provide for their families while getting no help. Oh, by the way, the Games take place in a dystopian future, where two young representatives (tributes) from one of the 12 districts are selected from a raffle, as their names are picked at random. Each of the 24 tributes have to eliminate their fellow tributes until one victor remains. During this, all of Panem is forced to watch. #thehungergames #theballadofsongbirdsandsnakes Follow Bryce Edward Brown on other stuff ➤ YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/BryceEdwardBrown ➤ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/bryceedwardbrown ➤ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/BryceEdBrown ➤ LETTERBOXD: https://letterboxd.com/ScifiBryce This video was made by Bryce Edward Brown
