An Analysis of the Movie Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer If there is one film in 2014 one should watch it might just be Snowpiercer, written and directed by Korean director Joon-ho Bong. This science-fiction, action, thriller was released on June 27th of 2014. The Snowpiercer is a film that depicts the different places in society and how humans are labeled. The Snowpiercer follows a man by the name of Curtis, who along with many others lives on a train. This train is the only thing keeping all of these people alive, because outside of the train walls the world is frozen over. The train is sorted by class, front representing higher class whereas the back represents lower class and poverty. Curtis lives in the back of the train, and is fed up with how they are treated, always being told “Know your place” from the higher up’s. The lower class eventually plan to revolt against the front of the train that is suppressing them to the back. As the movie goes on it shows different train carts as you go farther to the front. Without a doubt I would recommend this movie to a friend. I believe it has a great plot. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. The film shows lots of symbolism and philosophical twists that will keep you thinking throughout the movie. By the time the movie is over you will feel good and be glad you watched it. The entire film symbolized society and that not everyone is actually created equal. The back of the train is forced to eat protein bars that have a disgusting taste, whereas the front of the train eats steaks and other incredible meals. Along with the food conditions the back of the train has terrible living conditions. They have make-shift beds and living quarters that are basically clothing, cloth, and bed sheets. All and all the Snowpiercer is a good watch. It has tons of symbolism which makes you really think while watching. It shows how maybe certain races or groups of people are treated in certain areas. This film has a great plot and there is never a dull moment. I hope you
