The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - Behind the Scenes

[@Joy_McConnell]

The more you learn from this book the more you can see Snow’s hatred, not only to Katniss but district 12 and all the things that are connected to Lucy Gray

Snow: What a lovely pen… Katniss: Thank you, it’s from my district.

He must have felt haunted by Lucy Gray through Katniss. In a sense, Katniss was Lucy's ghost or the reincarnation. I know they have different personalities, but they each have spirit and fire. They inspired people and they were fighters. It is only right that an incarnation of Lucy through Katniss saw to Snow's end. It was karmic.

[@aniekbaljeu1613]

you can say a lot about Rachel for the snow white movie but she is definitely perfect to play Lucy and she has an amazing voice!!

[@Recyclabled]

It's a shame Rachel is so hated when she seems like such a wonderful person. People hate her for disliking a 'classic' Disney movie as if we haven't been criticising Walt Disneys questionable ideas for decades. She can be opinionated without it meaning she's a terrible person, it really irks me how much hate people wish on her over perceived slights.

[@an-qo6by]

I just think it's so stupid for people to hate rachel over a job. over her saying her opinion. people really can't stand it when someone, a stranger, goes against what they feel! And especially as a female actress, I finally see that difference in media now. I can name so many men who have made comments like Rachel, but it did not make a whole headline and hate train on tik tok! No one can make me hate rachel. I mean in general, kinda ridiculous to have this much personal dislike for someone we do not know at all! This is a job and just about always, we cross a line due to the access the actors now give us in this modern time with social media. it's all so interesting to me, but i just feel bad for rachel.

[@whatiwatch006]

people are too soft about the snow white drama. she’s literally my age she’s young giver her a break

[@iricrescent2901]

I just watched the movie today, and seeing this behind the scenes with how Rachel talks, the more I realize that she must have been used as a scapegoat. Disney wasn't handling the failure plans and designs of the Live "Snow White" with the dwarves and Snow White's look, etc. that Rachel was just the target of all that frustration. This was also a few years of all the "Strong Female" character shinanigans of Star Wars, She Hulk, Captain Marvel, etc. that overall, it was just a bad time and place for Rachel to go into the scene of Disney's main downs. Other than what her thoughts are on the classic Snow White, if there is anything else Rachel has done that cause the hate, as it stands now, in my opinion Rachel is a talented actress. She was great for this Hunger Games movie and I do feel bad that her chances of making it bigger has been shot down because Disney isn't handling their stuff and left her to dry.

[@EnthusiasticAnt-lz8sn]

I think it’s crazy to but she said what she said and people didn’t like it

[@cirrusB612]

I love how everyone here refers to Tom’s version as “Coryo” and Sutherland’s version as “Snow” as if to separate the teenager from his future

[@arlio728]

YES! Coryo is for when he hasn't lost himself yet

[@jjj_ppp1]

Well, yes. The last time snow was called coryo was by sejanus at the hanging tree, right? Snitched his own best friend. It's really like he killed his old self there, like he said.

[@phoebelam5761]

I think this is going to be a success: they have the author involved, they have casting based on talent and not on the color of their skin or to check a box, most if not all the people involved are fans of the book and have actually read it, they really try to stay loyal to the book and make a live version of the book without changing too much. This is judging solely on trailers, teasers, and interviews.

She is the most memorable part of the story and Sno White didn't need to be any more active in it. The only thing that erked me about the live action was replacing the dwarves with magical creatures and Snow white not being white (due to it being part of her character, name and all)
