just watched ballad of songbirds and snakes and I really liked it, my only tea is that I don't think the narrative really is made for a good movie adaptation and it kind of shows, it probably would have been better as a short 1 season show or a double feature because the pacing from part 2 to part 3 is a bit awkward and just because there is so much content to get into, a lot of moments felt pretty rushed. loved seeing the main setpiece of the capitol street be a roundabout I used to work 1 street away from tho & a lot of buildings being slightly edited famous berlin buildings was a huge banger.

#myposts #thg #I think for a movie they should have shortened some things a bit #or just left out characters and scenes because there was a biiit too much going on #like some scenes clearly served a purpose but they could just conveyed some information better by saving time and saying it out loud #like the scene with the girl getting bitten by the snakes. her whole character basically just existed in the movie #to explain that these snakes get used to certain scents which viola davis could have just said out loud #or one of snows belongings could have accidentally dropped into the tank etc you know #i guess its also to show that viola davis character is ruthless and cruel but idk the rest of the movie already did that better #for some reason that scene even kinda made you question what even is up with her in a way the movie never really resolves #or like. the character of jessup just wasn't all that important to the story and his thing dragged out quite a bit #like they could have easily just left that out and found a shorter way to lure lucy out of the room she was hiding in #and theres a lot of moments like that that just drag the story a bit and then go nowhere #the guy carrying all the corpses into the middle isnt really that important afterwards #like yeah i like that the story shows that there always was rebellion on the side of the tributes but like.#the whole games could have shortened to what snow really saw while observing them etc like its not really what the movie was ABOUT #like the movie was about snows rise to power #and for that the movie occasionally lingered waay too long on things that had nothing to do with him #or his development as a character u know.
