The Hunger Games: The Ballad of the Songbirds and the Snakes complicates the reasons behind the moral development of the future President Snow. This 2023 prequel movie does not connect well to the four sequels presented before this film (2012—2015). There is a good tie-in origination for the song The Hanging Tree as sung by Katniss Everdeen in earlier movies. The strongest actor in this movie is Peter Dinklage followed by Viola Davis who gives a good/suitable portrayal of evil as the game holder, Dr. Volumnia Gaul. The film serves as an okay watch that has a deep evilness worked into its fiber that was not as focused in the previous Hunger Games movies. It is what it is.

Thanks
Thank you to Director Francis Lawrence for directing
effort. Thank you to Producers Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Francis
Lawrence for making the film possible. Cast includes Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler,
Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andres Rivera, and Viola Davis.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. The movie reveals a little of the history of the future President Snow and who wrote The Hanging Tree song (Lucy Grey Baird). But everything else an audience may have desired to know remains unclear. Do some research on the plotline before going which may allow the audience to find deeper meaning and establish relationships in the movie.
