Have you read the book? He’s an anti-villain at best, and a power-hungry, vindictive, elitist at worst. And sure, he knew how to play the social game of compliments, networking and keeping a clean official record (and got rid of the ones who didn’t buy his «My family’s still rich-act», like Highbottom. But I think the Dean, for all his flaws, was correct in his accusation that Coriolanus, just like his father, only liked, or pretended to like, people as long as he could use them in some way. My point is, his thoughts were far less charming than his outward appearance and image. Like, he NEVER liked, or accepted Sejanus Plinth. Thoughts, feelings and mouth couldn’t have agreed less when it came to that «friendship». Everyone else thought they were friends, school staff, the Plinth parents, class comrades, and Sejanus himself. Because everyone else in the Capitol made their feelings of disgust for some «barbarian» District family perfectly clear. Coriolanus was just better at keeping his emotions below the surface, and minding his own business. By not actively participating in the bullying, Coriolanus was reluctantly given the «friend of the superrich overemotional District kid» role and function. But it is clear from Coriolanus’ inner dialougue that he views Sejanus more like some sort of an arbitrary, and unpredictable obstable, than a friend he truly cares about, tries to connect with, or understand for the sake of it. All the friendly things he did for Sejanus, was out of circumstances, or because he didn’t have any choice, like with going imot the arena. And before that, it was about upholding his «good mannered, respectful and tactful» image in public. In the case with the arena, he thought about how this «social debt» of saving his son’s life, could be used to press Strabo Plinth for money as motivation to do it. Never once does he ask himself why the Districts rebelled and started a war in the first place. It’s just, «they are evil, because they went to war with us, and destroyed everything we hold dear». Capitol-citizens are given more innate value through his eyes, even the ones he dislikes, than all the people from «The Districts», who he unabashedly refers to as «animal-like» and «second-class citizens». Which is where the colonial, racist, hierarchical and xenophobic attitudes comes into play. But the movie watchers, and other characters in-universe, are only shown his carefully calculated, and often at best, half-genuine, and half-true words. This is the true genius of using the book story-telling format, to show how self-interested, manipulative and ambitious people think, feel, and ultimately, behave. Suzanne Collins really doesn’t sugarcoat war, and it’s effects for decades. Being a part of the social, economic, and ruling Capitol Elite, and living up to the expectations of the Snow name, as well as saving the reputation of the Snow family name, was everything that mattered to him in the end. Of, and having control over everyone and everything. Like LITERALLY everything.
