Snow piercer(2013)

Yonggeun Lee
The Real Equality
The earth has changed by the extreme weather. The world was frozen except one eternal running train. The train contains people who survived from the extreme weather. The train has two big parts. One is back-room that poor people live, and the other room is front room that people live with luxury living, such as drinks and drugs. The world in train has no equality. When the train running for seventeen years, Curtis who is captain of back room starts riots that has prepared for a long times ago. Curtis and backroom people proceed to the engine room for domination, because they want to save back-room people from Mr. Wilford who has absolute power in the heart of train. However, unpredictable situations are waiting for them.
The movie, Snow piercer, is really interesting. This movie’s atmosphere is so impressive. When I saw this movie at first, I could imagine dark fantasy type genre, Edward Scissorhands. When each rooms of the train are opened, audience can see people who act artificial and mechanical behavior. It makes me to recollect Tim Burton movie style. In particular, most significant thing is the appearance of the Korean actor and actress that is Gangho Song and Aseong Ko. They undertake important and comic role in the movie. Audiences can enjoy the harmony of them. On the other hand, the movie sends a message that “What is the real equality?” Curtis and his friends fight for back-room people’s freedom. However, minions of Mr. Wilford tell “ Each part has a right use for them. You poor guys are foot, rich people like me are head.”
The phrase sounds like logical words. Nevertheless, this sentence means class system. Every people have a right that people can live free life and equal opportunity. This movie shows the process that breaking the bad idea, class system. I want to give a message “Nobody can make a decision of other human’s fate. People can draw their dream themselves.”

-Rating ★★★ / 5
