The Ballad of Songbirds And Snakes movie is actually a pretty great adaptation of the book. It doesn’t quite manage to translate the absolutely scathing depiction of a narcissist, but honestly it’s so skilfully and subtly done in the book I am not quite sure how they could have achieved it.

Charlie Chaplin in 1940 is *exactly* what we should have the courage to say in 2026.
