There are mainly three aspects of flickering.
First, the social hierarchy metaphor of large-scale modern transportation.
From this point of view, "Snow Country Train" is very much like "Titanic". It is packed with people in a large modern vehicle, and it goes without saying that it divides the crowd through different carriages/spaces. Level. This is not uncommon. In fact, human society has always been doing this. Until now, there are different levels on trains, airplanes, and ships. Under the conditions of a market economy, these are generally regulated by prices. However, in some societies, administrative Power/level will also interfere with your position in the vehicle. I remember that when I was a child, I took the train with an adult, and the unit opened a letter of introduction, and then there was a soft sleeper to sit on-it is said that the right to ride on the soft sleeper corresponds to the corresponding Cadre level.
Zizek once criticized the "hypocrisy" of "Titanic" (probably that means it, anyway, I don't understand his Lacan terminology), and the short-lived hierarchical arrogance of shredded meat is as romantic as her cheating , And the big ship sank before reaching the destination, which actually indicates that the shredded pork will return to the "normal" hierarchical social life order, which is completely different from the intent of "Snow Country Train"-the lower class carriage in "Snow Country Train" Passengers are living under the weight of slavery (the first half is like a death train bound for Auschwitz), and the destruction of the train is also their intention-imagine if the Titanic did not sink, What happens if the shredded pork comes ashore? Really go wandering with the unreliable young artist Jack? hehe.
When it comes to the social metaphor of modern large-scale transportation, Verne should be regarded as a pioneer. His "Machine Island" once made me feel excited.
Second, the train.
The train is very important. It is interesting to build a plane in the train. Among the various means of transportation, the train has the most weighty, fatalistic, stable, and indescribable temperament. In "Let the Bullets Fly", "Eating Hot Pot and Singing Songs" is on the train. The motion capture CG animation "Polar Express" produced by Tom Hanks with his face is also a train. The train is also a sign of power. The late leader of a Northeast Asian country visited Moscow and stayed in the train for nearly 10 days. The late leader of a major East Asian country was also notoriously not fond of flying, and often took the train to patrol. Compose a story with the young and beautiful conductor. I have always felt that the "special train" is a more domineering guy than the "special plane".
The same is true for the train in "Snow Country Train". If it were a "Battlestar" or "Stargate" space vehicle, it would greatly dilute the sense of apocalypse, and the cycle operation would be boring. Therefore, the train is very important. To win the grand prize at the Anglaim Comics Festival, the train space set up by the French is very important.
In addition, the speed of the train is also very intriguing. In "The Speed of Liberation", Velrio explained the impact of different speeds on human social life. This train, say whether it is fast or slow, whizzes past, and sticks to the ground. OK, just at a certain critical point.
Third, the interpretation of popular political philosophy.
Obviously, in an environment full of political G-spots in China, nothing can hold up Lenovo—the association in that respect. As soon as "Snow Country Train" came out, many fans, Wen Qing, would look for comparative explanations of various political/political philosophies. The word "popular" is added because I really feel that many of these interpretations are just as inconclusive as mine.
For me, "Snow Country Train" actually clarified the effectiveness of a highly centralized planned economy in a specific social state. Jaspers once said pessimistically that once a totalitarian prison is formed, it cannot be removed from the inside. break in. Sincerely, when you look at that "Snow Country Train", you will kill you all the way, and finally find that it is not the populist and facial makeup of the privileged class oppressing the people at the bottom. Long caste system), if the whole train is a specific society with limited resources, it must be a powerful planning authority to control everything-even slaughter to control the population (actually, Ed Harris is not smart, He should solve the population problem by restricting reproductive rights).
When the last guy of Captain America blew up the train, the children ran out, and an Asian girl led an African-American boy, making it look like the colored version of Adam and Eve.
Finally, I would like to talk about the Korean director’s genre film attempts and its expression of the eschatological concept of salvation in the Christian context. Later I found out that I couldn’t talk about it well. Anyway, the Korean Film Promotion Committee has done a good job, and I don’t understand it. Korean, so don’t talk about Smecta.
