The Hunger Games – The Singing Bird and the Ballad of the Night Movie Review
A masterpiece that I wanted to see even before its release. Since it was released during a business trip on Mexico (November 17, released simultaneously worldwide), I wanted to see it on the opening date.
It was postponed because it was a weekday.
In Mexico, most movies are dubbed in Spanish. I wanted to watch it with Spanish subtitles in the original English sound, but
Most of the time, I watched Spanish subtitles at night (dangerous ㅠ.ㅠ) or had to drive to a famous plaza to watch them.
I had no choice but to watch it in the Spanish dub.
I looked at it on the macro screen, and although it was big, it was difficult to see at a glance. (Price is 90 pesos, not many people see it… There doesn’t seem to be much of a Hunger Games craze in Mexico)
In korea, neither there were not much review yet.
Watching it in Spanish dubbing is a bit tiring for me as well. There are times when words I don’t understand come up.
You have to listen to everything in Spanish rather than read it with your eyes, so you have to concentrate and listen.
The original plan was to watch it once in the original English language + Spanish subtitles, if it was okay.
I was planning on going to Korea and watching it one more time in the original English + Korean subtitles, but I guess I just won’t have to watch it any more.
The reason is,
I already understood the content, but there was nothing grand about it that made me watch it a second time.
Recommended for those who are Hunger Games enthusiasts or have seen all of the existing Hunger Games.
However, I am sure that anyone watching The Hunger Games for the first time will lose interest if they start with The Ballad of the Singing Bird and the Snake. Rather than flashy scenes or action scenes, it appears to be structured to strengthen the story.
I felt like I was having a bit of a poop and then stopped… I also felt like I was watching <Asinjeon> starring Jeon Ji-hyun.
It feels like something is regrettable…….
<Snake won’t bite you when you sing>
When you sing, the snake doesn’t bite, it just crawls.
Instead of just crawling around, I wish I had given it a name similar to the snake ballad and had some kind of rhythm(?) and reaction.
It would have been good, but it was disappointing that the only effect of singing was not to bite.
<Family differences cannot be overcome>
It seems that family differences are difficult to overcome even in love.
The environment in which we grew up, our established values, and how we draw our future accordingly.
The main characters, Snow and Lucy Gray, get along quite well, but they don’t seem to be able to be together in the long term.
<Sociopath Snow>
Scenes where Lucy Gray blushes or shakes her fist for me or her family are impressive.
For your own desires, sacrificing your friends, shedding tears over mistakes, etc.
It is significant as it narrates that President Snow, who later becomes completely black, obsessed with District 12 and expresses anger(?), was also a “human being.”
At the end, the sight of clearly reflecting on the reason for the existence of the Hunger Games and following the correct path as a complete sociopath and a bundle of desire made me nod my head. (Oh yeah, that’s right~ That’s how you become a villain~)
