Nell Tiger Free credits the performance of Isabelle Adjani in Andrzej Żuławski's Possession as inspiration for her physical acting in The First Omen [2024].

We didn’t have a choreographer, we didn’t have any rehearsal—we didn’t actually know what the fuck was going to happen. Nobody really know, most of all me! All I had was this reference from this one movie, [Andrzej Żuławski 1981 horror classic] Possession. I watched that clip. It was maybe two minutes long. It was somewhere in Northern Italy, and honestly—I wish I had a more interesting answer—but I truly just did it and hoped for the best! We had two takes. It was weird, this feminist rage took over me. We spend so much time being told to look pretty, perfect, beautiful, put-together, attractive. To be asked to do the exact opposite, to be as free with your body as you possibly can… I mean, I was barking, at one point! All the rage in my body came out. Funnily enough, the only people that walked off set were the men. Scaring grown men has become a bit of kink of mine. [Laughs.]

When your father is a bad man, but he loves you the most. He built a world for you and wants to take it from you. When you hate your father and want to kill him, but you are you him.

Watching the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is realizing that despite the obvious implication that Lucy Gray is the songbird and Snow is the Snake…it’s likely the opposite.

Lucy gray controlled the snakes and used them as her weapon of choice, the snake biting him was Lucy’s kiss goodbye. She is the snake.

Snow sold Sejanus out through the jabberjay’s, they were his tool to fly back home and back into power. He is the songbird.

But at the same time…as in her Ballad, Lucy Gray flys away with the mockingjays after she sings the Hanging Tree one final time while fleeing Snow. She is physically a songbird. And Snow chose to work with Dr. Gaul, who created and controlled those snakes. He was the snake who betrayed his friend.

Who is the songbird and who is the snake? It’s unclear, but isn’t that the mystery?

thinking about how the hunger games were designed to prove that without society, order, government, someone to rule, we devolve into little more than animals, and how the games themselves prove over and over again that this is not true. We see it in every single game we witness.

Katniss placing flowers around Rue's body in the arena. Thresh sparing Katniss because she was kind to Rue, even though he was making it that much harder for himself to win.

Haymitch going back for Maysilee after hearing her scream even though their alliance had been broken. Haymitch holding her as she dies the same way Katniss did Rue.

Coral's "I can't have killed them all for nothing" when she realizes she's not going home. Lamina cutting down Marcus at great personal risk. And, my favorite moment in tbosas, Reaper collecting the bodies of his fellow tributes, his peers, even the ones who tried to kill him, into a pile. Taking the weapons from their hands. Closing their eyes and crossing their arms in the best approximation of a proper burial he can manage, covering them with the Capitol flag as a makeshift shroud.

The Games bring out the worst in people, yes. But despite the extreme circumstances, despite the exterior pressure of the Capitol, despite the fact that it could mean pain and heartbreak and death, it also shows that people have an enormous capacity for goodness. That even in a situation purposefully designed to make empathy impossible, people can't help but have it anyway.

Snow looks at the Games and all he can see is what's inside himself-- this pure animalistic drive to conquer and defeat. He kills and it feels good and he thinks that everyone else must feel that way too. He doesn't realize (maybe can't realize) that he is the exception, not the rule. He cannot see outside himself, outside his own warped perspective, to realize that the fact that people do show humanity in the games proves his entire worldview wrong.
