Hunger Games 5: the shocking ending of the film explained by the director

The Hunger Games 5: The Origin Story of Coriolanus Snow

Even before The Rime of the Serpent and the Songbird, the fourth novel in the Hunger Games saga by Suzanne Collins does not appear in bookstores, Lionsgate studios had already purchased the rights to turn it into a film. It must be said that the film saga based on Collins’ work has grossed almost three billion dollars at the box office. A true goose that lays golden eggs on which the studios have therefore bet once again.

However, the bet was a bold one since in this fifth part there is no Katniss Everdeen, the star of the original saga. The Rime of the Serpent and the Songbird is set 64 years before his rebellion against the Capitol and returns to the youth of Coriolanus Snow, who is preparing to become a mentor for the tenth Hunger Games. A brilliant young student, he absolutely must win over Lucy Gray, his tribute from District 12, to hope to get a scholarship. The film traces the events that led him to become the tyrannical president we know.

So, over the course of the film, we discover how the tenth Hunger Games transformed him, even though he wasn’t even in the arena. The ending of the feature film ends with a chilling scene (which we don’t see in the novel), in which we realize that he poisoned Dean Highbottom, the creator of the games, to take revenge for having been humiliated. This final scene then shows Coriolanus’ first violent act and his psychological change. A little earlier in the film, a sequence shows the moment when Coriolanus loses his mind, when he searches for Lucy Gray in the forest, and gradually turns into a psychopath.

The director talks about this scene

Already at the helm of the last three films of the saga with Jennifer Lawrence, director Francis Lawrence spoke about the scene in the forest, in which we discover how Coriolanus becomes the tyrannical and heartless character that we know. So, to the microphone of The Hollywood journalisthe confided that he really liked this sequence, for several reasons:

I love this sequence. This is my favorite sequence of the film. This is where we first see Snow actually go through this range of emotions and delve into the darkness that defines her actions later on. And I love doing sequences like this because there’s very little dialogue. It’s very visual. It was a beautiful day in the forest and the light was beautiful, but Tom’s performance was exceptional it was incredible. Then, just watching him go through the fear of snake bite, to the anger of being betrayed to the pain of being abandoned, the darkness takes over and he realizes, “If I can’t trust the last person on this earth I thought of ” I could trust him, so Gaul must be right.
