It's not him, it's someone else

When I first went to see Snowpiercer, to be honest, it wasn't that the original party and the director fans didn't have too many expectations. And instinctively, I don't have much affection for doomsday films without exception. It's nothing more than 3D+sprinkling dog blood+returning to the main theme to give a hopeful ending, and so on. Snowpiercer is like Noah's Ark. You must add a few sensational main lines in the competition, and finally leave a few alive, and then the human world will have hope and light in an instant.

When there is only one train left in the world that travels alone in Snow Country, rank and class will never disappear, simply immortal. The front and rear cars are still classified as rigidly as the pyramids in everyday society. Passengers in the bottom compartment live in a dark and confined space, eating protein made from cockroaches, and maggots live at the bottom like a prison. And the passenger in the front compartment? As if still living in the undefeated extravagance of the past, singing and dancing, as if the doomsday did not come to this carriage. So revolution seems to be necessary to overthrow the injustices of this world. But what about after the revolution?

When Curtis finally broke every door of confinement, he met Wilford. That cruel and inhumane supreme authority, the supreme authority who was intoxicated and ignorant of suffering... was also the mastermind behind the outbreak of the revolution. Wilford gave up this seat, seemingly reaching the end, only to find that it was just another starting point. Curtis is just a pawn in this revolution, and this revolution in which so many people's lives and desires have been saved is just a small formation. "System Balance" is the core and the real commanding heights of power. When hatred or opponents no longer materialize, probably all the anger that is full of strength will collapse in an instant. It's all about "balance". Wilford is also just a pawn in this carriage, carefully maintaining the entire engine, and the supreme being enveloped by enormous power is just not allowed to leave in the face of this non-stop train day after day... Do you think What happens after the revolution is to go back to the old way, to repeat the old tune.

It's a blast when the "fight" drama becomes such a metaphor.

Even if there is only one train left in the world that travels alone in Snow Country, there is only one possibility that will not perish with the end of the world. Datong in the world is ridiculous! So if it wasn't Wilford, it wasn't Curtis, it would be someone else. Under the great "System Balance", everyone is just a pawn.

PS characters are very subtle. The Eskimos were the first to get out of the train. The key source of fire for the revolution was the Chinese. The highest ruling class was the white people. The last survivors were the Koreans and blacks.

    3 and a half stars. But this is Bong Junho's movie! So it can only get 3 stars. The meaning is right, but it just looks insensible. In addition, at the end, the polar bear looks at the camera and smiles, meaning that these two kids have enough for two meals?
