Both unexpected and unexpected

Large-scale sci-fi action movies generally drift between brain damage and inexplicability. This film has a very special premise: After a catastrophe, the environment on which humans live was hit by a devastating blow-covered by ice and snow, the survivors had to collectively stay on a train and be killed by Wilford. Commanded for 18 years.
In fact, along the way, the male protagonist gradually began to understand the order that Wilford, the train leader, has always maintained: the small society in the V series cars must perform their own duties to maintain a relative balance. As a result, he unknowingly merged into a member of the order, and was almost moved by the perpetual motion machine. But when he discovered the child under the perpetual motion machine, he finally understood the cruelty and unscrupulousness of the order itself. With the transformation of the male protagonist, this unexpected and unexpected ending is ushered in: the male protagonist saves a child and at the same time destroys this ugly and orderly train.
Generally speaking, compared with Korean director Park Chan-wook, who has also worked with Hollywood, Bong Joon-ho’s works are more difficult, but the answers are quite satisfactory. Although the movie has not become a purebred Hollywood action blockbuster, it has hidden a lot of metaphors for the viewer to think about, and hope that many plot questions left by it can be resolved in the sequel.
Does order guarantee humanity and human existence, or does order destroy humanity and the meaning of human existence?
