HUNGER GAMES MOCKINGJAY PART 2 MEDIATUBE MOVIE
Curiously, it is NOT included on the Lorde-curated “Official Soundtrack,” a release from which only one song appears in the movie ( Yellow Flicker Beat, over the credits). “The Hanging Tree” is quite a hit it’s actually charted on the iTunes store, and has seen big popularity on the streaming sites as well. It’s just making a musical statement, instead of a filmic one. “The Hanging Tree” is the only place where “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” feels like it has something to say. You don’t have something to say, you just have a good story to tell. You’d have thought the split to two movies might have allowed the producers wider thematic latitude, but I guess you don’t take chances with a franchise as big as The Hunger Games. While there is an interesting story to be told about war propaganda, Mockingjay Part 1 does not ever elevate beyond a boring semi-action movie. The song provides the movie with a much-needed emotional punch. There is no version of “The Hanging Tree” sung by the Lumineers, unfortunately (I bet it would be great). The lyrics to the song were taken from the Mockingjay novel and set to music by the indie-folk band the Lumineers. The only moment of strength or emotion comes courtesy of Jennifer Lawrence’s haunting performance of an original song “The Hanging Tree,” set over images of revolution. I saw “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” tonight ( Only spent $54 at Cinebistro this time). Unfortunately though, you can’t buy them on iTunes. For what it’s worth, I think all of the below are better, more textured remixes. Guess we aren’t the only ones who saw the remix potential with the acapella. EDIT: Republic Records has released a Radio Mix for “The Hanging Tree.” This remix has been dubbed the “Rebel Remix.” You can download an mp3 of the radio mix on Mediafire, or you can buy The Hanging Tree (Rebel Remix) on iTunes by clicking here. The remix has charted on the Billboard Top 100 and been receiving radio play.
