Parallels: The Ballad of Songbirds And Snakes & The Hunger Games Films

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes first trailer has been out for TWO weeks (!!), and we’re still thinking about all of the parallels between Ballad and the original films. SPOILERS AHEAD for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

 

The one parallel I think everyone noticed immediately was the Lucy Gray curtsey callback to Katniss sarcastically curtseying for the Gamemakers, not only in The Hunger Games..

 

…But also in Catching Fire. Rachel Zegler said it was an ad lib. But director Francis Lawrence noted in Variety, “I thought it’d be really interesting if we created a history of it so that maybe [Katniss] didn’t come up with it on her own. Maybe she’d heard about this girl from a long time ago, having done the same thing.” 

 

Katniss finds a white rose from President Snow while visiting District 12 after the Capitol bombing. She thinks, “That white-as-snow rose is a personal message to me. It speaks of unfinished business. It whispers, “I can find you. I can reach you. Perhaps I am watching you now.”

The white rose Coriolanus holds at the train station is from the Grandma’am’s precious rose garden, on a suggestion from Tigris to offer his tribute, Lucy Gray, a token. “I need to make a connection with her. As you always say, your roses open any doors.”

 

Throughout The Hunger Games films, President Snow is often seen wearing red. This scene featuring young Coriolanus on the Corso gives major future President Snow vibes. 

 

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a role more perfectly cast than Jason Schwartzman as Lucky Flickerman, an ancestor of Stanley Tucci’s Caesar Flickerman from the original films. On their similarities, producer Nina Jacobson says, “He’s not impersonating [Tucci] - but there are moments with his laugh or flair.” Lawrence adds. “I said, ‘Listen, I think the character is under-written right now. But we have a lot of opportunity to flesh him out. I would love your help if you’re game.’” Schwartzman was. “I think he had, at the end of the day, 50 pages of new ideas and dialogue for all of his scenes. He had so much fun.”
