Snowpiercer

This movie is a great analogy to capitalism and how it creates artificial inequality. This also shows how we have to blow up the system all the together and create a new one.

Loved this movie, loved the writing, the plot, the acting EVERYTHING. The idea of poorer people being in the back is so realistic to what would happen irl

This was a very entertaining movie with serious social commentary. The hedonism was impeccably filmed and the cinematography was outstanding. In the end, after watching this movie, I very much think that [spoiler]there does not always need to be an underclass, which is what the movie protagonists determined as well[/spoiler]. Tilda Swinton, Chris Evans, and Alison Pill were on point as ever. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes a good thinky-drama or someone who likes a good action movie: this movie has both.

Very good. The last scene could be different, more interesting. But it was really good.

Really good movie that sticks to your mind for a while. Good interesting story, nice scenery. Awesome characters. Love the real world parallels.

Gotta say it's an awesome movie, if the ending could be better, but it is adapted from a awarded cartoon comics, so, it's okay

Really good movie but the ending scene wasnt satisfied me at all.

Snowpiercer. God, what a fucking trip of a film.

This film does a very good job at what it sets out to be. And that is, in essence, a commentary on society's predetermined "classes" we're all put in at birth and what happens when those ideals get taken to the extreme, as well as an environmental message somewhere probably. As I said before, I'm not here to analyze films for their deeper meanings or whatever, that's not my job. I'm here to simply give my thoughts.

The entire cast is spectacular in this film. Chris Evans is great as always, and his supporting cast such as John Hurt and Tilda Swinton do excellent jobs as well. Tilda Swinton does a fantastic job as a very unlikable villain, and I found myself hating her more than I hated the ACTUAL main antagonist himself. So props to her on her end. The only complaint I have about the film is the exposition for why the earth around them has frozen over went a bit _too_ fast for my liking, and I feel like it could have been fleshed out some more. Though, the world being frozen over isn't the main purpose of the film or its focus, so it's really nothing noticeable. Oh, and the shaky cam got a bit annoying at times.

Overall a 9/10

Very imaginative and with a very conscious message of what humanity is capable of, interpreting that through different meanings.

Snowpiercer is a film based on a French graphic novel called Le Transperceneige, and in this we follow the story of mankind, who lives aboard a large train, after a serious ecological problem that froze Planet Earth forever. Almost everyone in the world died frozen least the ones who boarded on the train, and past 18 years still travels a worldwide route and according to its inventor, Wilford, an engineer who predicted the fatal events, the train will never stop. If any of the passengers tries to leave, will freeze to death. The train is divided into several sections and social levels which can not mix with each other. In the last car of the train lives the lowest social class that sick of living in extreme poverty, found a plan to try to bring down Wilford's field who lives commanding everything that happens in the first train carriage. The main goal of the rebels is to reach Wilford and end inequality among all human beings.

Despite is unreal story this turns out to be a film with immense significance and to be able to appreciate the importance of the messages it wants to deliver we have to know first of all to analyze the meaning of all the moments that we think are out of place. For what at first sight may be out of context or not seems to make sense (due to the condition of the world and the people of the train) will make much sense anyway if we look beyond what we see.

The main reason why this film manages to be successful it may be the direction of the Korean Bong Joon-ho, who with this film makes his directorial debut in English language. Despite the language and the amount of known actors, we feel anyway the Asian cinema style very present throughout the film and that is very interesting.

The set design is absolutely magnificent! The way the carriages were designed are great, but when it comes to the image of the outside world leaves much to be desired. The CGI is very poor and all the frozen world seems very unreal.

Is full of bizarre characters and moments that break a little of the dark atmosphere in the story and this is great because it gives us spontaneous laughs from time to time, relieving its tension.

Chris Evans surprised me a lot! His performance is very emotional and managed to convince me of their intentions and feelings. His figure in the past few years is very attached to Captain America and during this film he made ​​me forget about that. My favorite character is without a doubt Tilda Swinton's, extremely bizarre and unique, something she knows how to make and very good! The rest of the cast, with names such as John Hurt, Ed Harris, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer and Koreans Song Kang-ho and Ko Ah-sung were also good.

I believe this is the kind of film that grows on us after consecutive views. Is biggest problem may be is long duration. Although is quite entertaining for most of the time, because of its length, the final act ends up losing a little magic not having so much intensity and impact as it should have been.

Flaws aside, it's very good to see a different style in Hollywood and I am sure that this film will be the subject of constant analysis over the years, not only for is unique style but also for the messages it wants to pass.

Snowpiercer is a film that perfectly projects the type of stigma in society in general, the problem that has always existed and unfortunately still exists today between the different social classes.
