[@prisoner_of_own_mind490]

I don't understand why people say she's a bad singer, I quite like her singing, it give the song a spooky vibe and adds a lot to the plot in my opinion. It sounds as if she grew up singing it and she will sing it to her kids and her kids will sing it to theirs, one day realizing what the lyrics mean

[@s4di.3]

Yeah I'm not certain what people expected from this song. I think it sounds fine

[@darkpluto6441]

I don't understand that too, because she shouldn't even sound like a singer, she should sound like an usual tired girl who sings a song of her people just because her soul needs it and she did it perfectly.

[@FerunOx]

Without a doubt one of the most iconic scene in all the saga. When people run for their lives, knowing they will die in the next second, and someone's always there to carry the boxes... That's an impressive view

[@robertblockbusterrowe3351]

Yeah, that scene was legendary

[@AM.AM.791]

As a parent I'm now rewatching and rereading the books. This scene walked the line of almost too powerful to watch. Their desperation is overwhelming. Not only are they fighting for their lives but for the lives of their children. They know that they are facing death in every direction. The only hope they have is to run into the bullets. I never fully appreciated the depth of it until now.

[@GordonSeal]

@@AM.AM.791 It's also a powerful message as it shows that now matter the weapons and no matter how powerful an oppressive regime can be, it can't stop the people once they band together for a just cause.

[@stealthSGMB]

They weren’t really running for their lives. They charged Assault rifles knowing some would die. A grand self-sacrifice to make sure the ones in the back would complete the mission

[@isychi7314]

[@melissapinol7279]

I'm a professional Folksinger, and a lot of the songs that are collected from the "folk" out in the country are very unpolished like this one when collected, and later polished up and rerecorded by professional singers. This is a totally realistic example of a Traditional song that someone might sing as it was passed down to them, complete with the raw emotion such songs often have. That's why I liked it so much. It was believable.

[@murdocksg2228]

how do you think James Newton's background as a composer influenced this? Any comments? Loved your comment btw.

[@melissapinol7279]

Well, you asked for comments, so here's a lesson! First I am not personally familiar with James Newton's musical background so I can't comment on this part, but I am very familiar with songs from the Appalachians, which is the area that the story was supposed to take place in. I could hear a similarity to other songs from these mountains, so I suspect Newton did some research. There is a long tradition of unaccompanied singing that was brought over from the British Isles, particularly Scotland. The main difference is technical, as these songs are remembered orally instead of being written down or recorded, the refrain or chorus tends to remain the same instead of being changed to fit each verse. This is not something the average listener would even notice, so it was fine with me. Songs about hanging or hangmen is pretty common, there is one about "Hangman, Hangman, slack your rope awhile" in which the prisoner sees each family member in turn ( father, mother, so on) but no one will help him until his sweetheart shows up and saves him. That particular song is very old and versions exist that probably go back hundreds of years, and was brought over by the original settlers when they came. There are different tunes, versions or "variants" as they are called, all tell pretty much the same story and can be recognized as basically the same song by Folklorists and Folksingers. So the song in the movie is on a recognized theme. Sometimes in a concert I sing different versions of the same song from different countries and times and people are often surprised to learn it's actually the same song! Also in the story the area is very impoverished, it's unlikely that there is recorded music or even radio available ( forget KZbin) so it's probable that people went back to the oral music tradition. Songs like this are not just for entertainment, they are also a kind of therapy to let out strong bottled up emotions, especially if your life isn't so great and you're oppressed. The raw way Katniss sings it is completely believable and I'd have been disappointed if they had done it any other way. Folk music is often viewed kind of as an extension of the self, in the Oral tradition there would have been hundreds of songs people would have known, each one capturing a particular situation or emotion. They are very therapeutic.

[@rodericvera3460]

@@melissapinol7279your answer is impressive. now i wanna learn more

[@melissapinol7279]

Thank you! I was born in 1960 and my dad was a "Folkie" so I've literally been listening to and studying this stuff all my life. Some of my very first memories are of listening to folk music, my mom said I was singing Sea Shanties when I was 3 years old! When I went to college I studied Anthropology and studied a lot of Folklore, I found out even more about the Oral tradition. I would say I'm an amateur Folklorist, though I was a Counselor and a professional writer for a living. I started singing Folk music in my 20's, I used to perform for various events and did one album which is on KZbin. If you have any specific questions about Folk music, just ask!

[@jackdavinci]

The thought that came to mind for me when I heard this was, yeah it sounds like a folk song or something you sing around a campfire, but also I was a little surprised since there's not many lyrics and it's repeating, that it wasn't sung as a round.

I love that Lucy Gray lived on through this song that she wrote for Snow, and she was connected to Katniss despite them never knowing each other. It makes sense Snow never liked Katniss as he saw her as another district 12 girl he knew, and hearing Katniss sing the hanging tree must’ve brought back so much of his past.

@@williamvaughn4418 he used a jabberjay BUT he hated mockingjays as he saw them as unnatural (the Capitol's jabberjays had bred with the female mockingbirds in district 12 and thus mockingjays were born) . So to him this new mutated bird represented how the Capitol could not control everything and mockingjays themselves cant be controlled with those remotes like jabberjays can. It is great symbolism that Katniss became the mockingjay and that was the symbol of the resistance as it couldn't be controlled, and again it was something that Snow had hated since he was young.

[@williamvaughn4418]

[@04nbod]

I didn't pick up on that. The Capitol Jabberjay were all male. The District 12 Mockingbirds were all female. There is something thematic going on there. The mockingbird is a songbird. Is Corialanous the Jabberbay? He was sent to District 12 and like the Jabberjay reported back on rebels. Was he mating with the District 12 Mockingbird? Did they make a Mockingjay? Like the Jabberbay the capitol was able to control Corialanous and Lucy Gray could not be controlled. There are 64 years between the 10th and 74th Hunger Games. Katniss is 16, meaning there were 48 years between the 10th Hunger Games and her birth. Snow says they marry young in the districts, there could be 2 generations between Lucy Gray and Katniss if Lucy Gray got pregnant and spawned a Mockingjay. I know people think it's Maude Ivory that is related to Katniss but that parallel is pretty strong. Unless its being used more loosely. @@AyeshaM02

True. I think her inexperience in singing is what truly sells the tone of the song, and what makes it such a masterpiece.

It's amazing how just one person, and one word change inspires this song for the revolution. Plutarch changed necklace of rope, to "necklace of hope" and Katniss is their symbol. This gives them hope. You know what Snow says, "Hope, it's the only thing stronger than fear."

The song is beyond incredible. Each time I watch this move I get goose bumps when the chorus starts and the people arise with bare hands against the machine guns. The message is so deep: You have to value the freedom above anything else and if needed it is better to die than to remain a slave. This movie is so deep, that it could inspire the people to revolt and bring down the hunger dictatorship regimes.

In books Snow has never heared the Hanging Tree singing by Katniss and the same with people in districts. Only a few people saw the record. They used it rather to Peeta's treatment. He told he knew the song (because of Katniss'es father) and it was a sing for the rest it is his real memory. Haymitch told Katniss the song has been never released and never put to any propo. Only movies show Hanging Tree as a rebel.hymn. Howewer, the resultat in movies was spectacular
