Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Hunger Games movie franchise was lucky to have Donald Sutherland playing the primary villain of President Coriolanus Snow, whose best scenes offer the most poignant illustration of the tyranny the characters are fighting.
Sutherland gives the character a strong start here, showing a more subtle version of Snow's cruelty than the audience will see later. He wears the facade of a firm but respectable leader, taking time out of his busy schedule to welcome the tributes. However, even in this scene where he is not given much to work with, Sutherland has a frightening presence as Snow.
7 Snow Threatens Katniss Catching Fire Close Snow and Katniss' first real conversation at the beginning of Catching Fire is immeasurably complicated and a testament to both Sutherland and Lawrence's abilities. Snow actually clues Katniss in on his worldview during this scene, of how he understands that one simple act can cause a nationwide upheaval. He convinces Katniss that this would be a bad thing because of the resulting casualties.
Related Hunger Games Prequel Timeline: When Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes Is Set The Hunger Games fans will be able to explore President Snow’s past, as The Ballads of Songbirds and Snakes focuses on his rise to power. Snow then begins calling for Plutarch as the arena goes down. It is an important scene because it is the only one in the series where Snow is truly shaken. Sutherland's ability to portray Snow as powerful and in control is important, but he is ultimately going to lose the war in this story. When he is eventually captured, he maintains composure, but here he is genuinely surprised.
