"Snow Country Train" is a classic movie that many people should have seen. I remember that it had been in theaters for a long time. Until now, many people still show it out occasionally. There are some differences between
and traditional movies. There is no love story in this movie, but the most intuitive class struggle and metaphorical dictatorship of the upper class in society oppressing the poor. After watching this film, we were greatly shocked.
"Snow Country Train" is also the best science fiction film made in Korea in recent years. It is not difficult to see from this film the courage and determination of Korean filmmakers to enter the international film scene. The whole movie was shot in the carriage, without too many scenes, and it looks not boring. The whole story of
highlights the two main points of interest: "balance" and "position"!
"Location"
79 countries around the world have spread the refrigerant CW-7 in the atmosphere in order to change the global warming caused by the greenhouse effect. Unexpectedly, the temperature will drop sharply and the world will be covered by snow and ice for many years. The extreme climate has caused many lives around the world, and only a few people have survived boarding the global train made by Wilford.
This train perpetual motion machine designed by the genius is towed, running day and night, because only by going on, can the train generate heat and the people on the train can survive. The people on the train are arranged according to the social class from front to back. In the carriage, the upper class is at the front, living all day in a drunken lantern riddle and extremely extravagant carriage. In the middle are the loyal knights brainwashed by Wilford, who swear to defend this train and Wilford. In the last carriage, there are some poor people living at the bottom of society, living a life of hunger and cold. Everyone on this train
has his own place. Wilford, the first car in the train, is seated in this train to control the population and let the train go forever. The people living in the upper class are all kinds of squandering, squandering the material life brought to them by the poor. The position of those masked defenders is to obey Wilford's orders and defend Wilford's sacred status. The poor use day and night labor as the material conditions for them to bring prosperity. This is their position.
is such an unfair position, which eventually led the poor to rise up and want to take back their own things.
"Balance"
When Curtis rushed to the first car with anger, Wilford prepared a complete set of "balance theory" for him, which was justified and well-founded. Because without this balance system, the people on this train will not survive now, and they have long been crushed by the inflationary population.
The balance system developed by Wilford is too cruel and needs to be implemented through the sacrifice of a large number of poor people. Although Curtis couldn't accept it, he didn't give an excuse. The balance theory was valid from Wilford's point of view. In the end, Curtis' faith collapsed and died with the train. The balance theory of
may be a set of rhetoric prepared by Vilford to justify his sins. After all, such a city is deep, and if you want to buy people's hearts, you must have a set of strong arguments.
There is no victory or defeat in this class struggle, only two surviving children are left. Perhaps this is the dignity of the poor who won their lives!
