Snowpiecer

Snowpiecer depicts rebellion against discrimination and suppression between social strata which is existent in the train in which survivors from a glacial epoch circle the earth once a year due to a rash measure to prevent global warming.What I'd like to talk about in this movie is about how it is composed and shows us what our society is like. Even if this movie shows us an extremely radical aspect, it contains a trope, metaphor and symbol in terms of mordern society.

Firstly, this movie points out a real-world problem. For example, this movie compares discrimination and suppression with a compartment of the train, which is called the tail. Fare-beaters have to appreciate the front people, who are the upper classes, allowing them to take the train, having to accept what is bad to them gratefully instead of expressing their disadvantageous treatment and unfairness. As you probably know, it is like the darkside of our society.

Secondly, this movie seems gloomy. However, the name of snowpiecer can mean existences falling on their feet, which mean people who try to overcome difficulties. people who belong to the tail cooperate together to proceed to engine compartment and eliminate their unfairness for the purpose of making a better life.

Lastly, adding a scene of the leaders' idea that violation and suppression is needed to maintain balance and harmony of social system, this movie can be a contradictive problem in our moral aspect because society is made to be beneficial for minor people to some extent, but, not for everyone. The reason a leader made a extreme choice which drive people to become destructive was to regulate population in the train where spaces, food and something else are not enough. To make it easier, a leader chose to make a hierarchical society which thoroughly makes many people victims to control surroundings and environment.

In this way that it resembles and is satirizing our reality, I would like to give this film 4stars out of 5 stars.
