Analysis
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes might just be the most well-executed installment in the bestselling Hunger Games franchise. Based on the novel with the same namesake, the film features a thrilling tale of dystopian politics and complex characters with rich backstories fueling actions throughout the film. There’s not one dull moment in the entire movie. The action scenes keep you on edge for the entirety of the film, and the twisted,pivotal plot points make for a delightful watch. Apart from a crew of perfectly cast actors who bring life to the film, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes features a beautiful, atmospheric soundtrack that makes you feel like you’re part of the rich and diverse universe that the movie takes place in. The presence of richly fleshed-out characters and insight into their motives proves to be a very well-executed feature of the film. The backdrop and props in the movie are authentic in terms of the period when the movie takes place.The plot in itself is brilliantly depicted and plays out beautifully. It’s raw, unpredictable and thrilling: precisely what you want from a Hunger Games film. The real essence of the movie, however, lies in the cast performances by lead actors Blyth and Rachel Zegler, who kill it as their respective characters on the big screen. There’s dimension and depth in their performances. The entire cast is brilliant, especially Hunter Schafer, who brilliantly depicts her role as Coriolanus Snow’s empathetic, kind cousin who does not lose her morals and goodness despite society's scorn. This movie truly is a brilliant addition to the franchise that has made its mark on the film industry as one of the most popular fantasy series ever, and makes for a noteworthy prequel.

Verdict
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes serves as a delightfully engaging watch whether it be as a standalone movie, or an additional installment in the series that has won over millions around the world. Everything about this film is a work of art: the plot, the acting, or the cinematic quality of the film. The only drawbacks of this film are plot points that have nothing to do with the technical aspects of the movie, such as Coriolanus Snow’s unpredictable, twisted character who has no genuine motives behind his actions. It’s an astonishingly well-executed movie that might even make it onto your rewatch list.
