As everyone knows, the stage of the story is a train running on a vast snowy field. The last carriage where the protagonist lives is a poor neighborhood similar to Brooklyn. The people living here are fed up with the inferior tortoise jelly that can't tell what the taste is every day. They crave fried chicken and beer, so they decide to go to the front compartment. The protagonist was naturally chosen to be the leader, and he and his friends rushed to the front of the crowd. Then they recruited the mysterious teammate Doraemon and his daughter Li Na who had passed through the future in a drawer. Doraemon can use special props to help the protagonist and his party quickly cross to the front car. In the process of advancing, the protagonist once again lost his little friend (why did I add "again"), but finally reached the head of the train. Here the protagonist had a cordial meeting with the black hand behind the scenes, and was surprised to find that the other party's purpose was to make himself his successor. The protagonist realizes that if he accepts the invitation, everything will turn into a Yizhong cycle...

Just when the protagonist hesitated, a big explosion occurred on the train and caused an avalanche. The whole world began to collapse from this. The last picture that flashed through the protagonist's mind was a polar bear. Then...

he woke up.

He was told that he had slept in the ice and snow for nearly 70 years. He still couldn't let go of the sad experience of taking his little friend Ba Ji to rob the train and causing Ba Ji to fall into the snow-capped mountains. Even in his dream, he once thought that he had the guilty idea of ​​eating his little friend. Of course, he still doesn’t know that the repeated scenes of people cutting off their arms in his dreams and the flashing polar bear before waking up are actually a sign that he is about to reunite with Baji...

------ -------------The above is all nonsense, please look at the serious plot analysis ---------------------

In 2014, in order to cope with the increasingly severe global warming problem, governments of various countries that have always liked to act as pig teammates in movies joined forces and came up with a wonderful response plan: launching a kind of "Cengwang-7" into the atmosphere. Refrigerant. Audiences use the prostate to think and know that this is death, because as long as a person shoots something into the sky in the movie, there will be no good results in the end, such as "The Matrix." Sure enough, after the missiles full of Cengwang 7 were Let it go, the whole world quickly Frozen. So the hope of all mankind can only be pinned on one person.

There is a genius scientist who has been obsessed with trains since he was a child. His biggest dream is to build his own non-stop train and live on it. That's right, this person's name is

Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper.

Dr. Cooper built an unprecedented long train and lived in it. From then on, "Cold never bother me anyway". Other surviving humans also rushed into this train. From then on, no one dared to laugh at the primitive means of transportation like trains being less efficient than airplanes.

The train is overcrowded, and the passengers on the train must be encouraged to kill each other regularly. So Dr. Cooper sent his roommate Dr. Leonard Hofstadter to quietly live in the last train to act as an agitator. The two people at the same time took a fancy to a young man in the last train because this man looked very much like a protagonist in a comic book they read when they were young. So the two people who lived "You live at the front of the train and I live at the end of the train" began to induce this young man to lead the path of the rebel leader......

------------------...... Well, in fact, there is no reliable plot analysis at all here-------------------

The insights about the big bang of life are really uncontrollable when you see the carriage of elementary school students in class. I believe that I am not the only one who thinks of Sheldon after watching the promotional video about how Wilford has loved trains since he was a child and how obsessed with building trains. I even thought, if it was Sheldon, with his extraordinary emotional intelligence, maybe it was his conspiracy to freeze the earth in the first place, so that everyone would fall in love with his train, and he could do it. Putting on the captain of the train conductor and blowing a whistle to accept the worship of everyone.

The background introduction at the beginning of the movie was very appetizing to me. Mainly, the sensational news about "global warming" that is always released by environmentalists is a bit annoying, so this setting to solve the consequences of global warming has caused more trouble for me. Quite relieved.

As for the actors, one can see the director's care for his compatriots. Although the role is far less than Captain America, the role of the role in the promotion of the plot is comparable to the first protagonist. Nangong Minxiu is one of the few people in the car who can think independently. It was also Nangong Minxiu who made the door bombing that changed everyone's fate. One of the two survivors was his daughter. In addition, from the perspective of ability, Nangong seems to be able to despise everyone else: he can be literate and martial, and be able to fight back a group of high-ranking cadres. When facing Franco (brother), almost everyone else By the second, only he persisted for the longest time. This role is set so awesome, does his family know it. The director just needs to add super powers such as time pause and teleportation to him. But the problem is that the role of this character is awesome, not the kind of awesomeness that makes the audience feel excited, but every time he opens the audience, the audience will have a little drama. If this character is deleted, the progress of the story will not be affected much, and it will even be smoother. This role has taken on too many responsibilities that the male character should bear. It can even be said that he is the male character that the director really wants to create, but he has not put too much effort into reflecting the charm of the character, and the audience will not have a strong substitution. feel.

Gilliam played by John Hutt was suspicious from the beginning. I originally guessed that he was behind the scenes. After all, his image as a dictator in "V for Vendetta" is too popular. Later, the development of the plot proved that I thought too much. But until he got his lunch, he didn't think there was anything particularly worthy of attention in this role. This image is actually plumped through the two descriptions of the captain and Wilford behind, one is the story of cutting meat and feeding the eagle, and the other is to reveal his identity as one of the masterminds of all these tragedies. I think if a person is willing to cut off his limbs to save the child's life, then he is not considered a bad person anyway. But such a person has always acted as Wilford's accomplice. Therefore, even if a person is morally high and is admired by thousands of people because of it, it is difficult to guarantee that his influence will not be used to promote something that seems to be completely contrary to his own noble behavior. Therefore, the most important thing in life is not to follow blindly, keep calm observation and careful thinking, and then follow your heart.

Regarding the story of "cut meat and feed the eagle" mentioned by the captain above, in addition to enriching Gilliam's profile, the most important thing is to make the role of Curtis itself more hierarchical. However, I feel that there is a contradiction between this and the previous plot. After learning about Curtis's past, and thinking about it again, he felt that his performance when he discovered the secret of inferior tortoise paste was a little unconvincing. Seeing such a disgusting sight, it is normal for an adult to feel astonished and angry, but Curtis's ruined view of the Three Views is very unlikely to happen to me. After all, he has even eaten human flesh. Would eating a cockroach meat cause such a big impact on his heart?

The style of the whole film is very depressing, so it is necessary to add some funny laughs to make the people and the audience breathe in the play. Of course, after these laughs pass, we will find that the sense of depression will immediately rise to a new level. . I personally think that the most interesting part is the New Year's greetings and the brainwashed elementary school students, especially the latter. Half of the reasons I have mentioned above, because the brain hole of "The Big Bang Theory" was opened; the other half It may also be because when I saw those elementary school students, I thought of myself when I was young, and unconsciously was crying stupidly by my previous self.

The biggest highlight is undoubtedly Manson played by Tilda Swinton. This kind of role similar to translator and master has always been burdened with constant burdens, and can always become the most impressive role in a film. As soon as this character appeared on the stage, he used his own vulgar appearance, exaggerated body movements and clumsy words to dissolve the cruel incident of execution into a comical show. Ashamed, my face blindness was extremely serious when I was young, and I couldn't distinguish Tilda Swinton from Cate Blanchett. At that time, watching me, I thought that if this role is replaced by Kate, the effect should not be disappointing, but it may not be as amazing as it is now, mainly because Cate Blanchett has played too many similar roles recently. Neurotic role too.

Ed Harris' conversation with the captain at the locomotive revealed his purpose of planning everything: manual selection. The narrow carriages cannot wait for the slow natural selection to proceed, so the person in charge of the highest authority in the car decides to implement his own rule of survival of the fittest. The polar bear that appeared in the last scene felt like a joke made by God. It turned out that the cold didn't kill everything. In fact, humans didn't need to curl up in the carriage. After going around for more than ten years, in the end there were few dead. If you didn't get in the car at the beginning, maybe the small number of people left after natural selection can just become the key generation to promote human evolution by inheriting their cold resistance genes.

Many people have compared the train in the film to Noah's Ark. In fact, I think the purpose of this train is exactly the opposite of that of Ark. The ark is for the survival of the animals and people who retain the natural way of survival; the existence of the train is to construct a purely human class society that is completely separated from nature, which can be said to be the most unnatural state of existence. However, the two children who survived the overturned train may still have to return to a primitive way of life that relies on nature.

Therefore, to rationalize the existence of this train that is unreasonable no matter how you think, the best way is to stick to the pubic hair theory I mentioned above: this is a person who loves trains and makes everyone fall in love. A big game of chess played by the train. In other words, the fact that humans were wiped out is a big Bazinga.

It seems that the film failed to achieve the ultimate visual effects due to insufficient budget, which is really a shame. The theme of this story is very creative. I dare say that most people just like me have a strong desire to watch movies just by hearing the synopsis. However, it is not an easy job to develop from an interesting subject that can be summarized in a few words to a two-hour movie. The recently released "Allied Treasures" is also a similar example. The subject matter is full of curiosity, but it will make the audience disappointed because of high expectations. The completion of the film is of course much higher than that of "League", but since the Hollywood lineup is enabled, the audience will naturally use Hollywood standards to request the film. For Hollywood commercials, the plot can be very weak, but the special effects must be handy. It’s possible to keep the existing plot structure and add one or two more shocking scenes (for example, the director wants to shoot an unfinished zoo car, one hundred children operate the engine at the same time, and the total length is 1001. A bird’s-eye view of the carriages), the audience’s experience is completely different.

Finally, I feel that both the film and "Need for Speed" were selected for release half a month before "Captain America 2", as if to remind everyone to review the first one before watching the second one. These two films are the prelude to the strengthening week of Captain America.
