Love the yucky train. Love the bad willy wonka train. Love the characters wavering between belief and conscious delusion. The train is just a train. The train is the whole world. The train is the light of god fading before it touches the earth. The train is. The train ain't shit. God is eating your children. Your trusted community leader knows what God is and is sacrificing you to him willingly. Captain America has eaten at least one baby. Climate Change is literally our fault and we can't do shit about it because HENRY FORD KNOWS ALL. Also. Don't smoke industrial waste unless you like to I guess :)

Warning, spoilers for snowpiercer 2013.
So I go through a snowpiercer hyperfixation like at least a few times a year. Part of it is that it’s a teen dystopia premise that doesn’t follow any of those tropes, (it’s about adults and does not have a happy ending) but more recently it’s because you’ve got John Hurt here playing this old man who, is revealed to have been collaborating with the guy in charge of the train, Wilford, this entire time, and helped orchestrate the revolution to have it turn out as a massacre. He condemned the people he loved to certain death all to preserve the train. To save their world.
And so my brain instantly goes, “did he just play the War Doctor again?”
Obviously it’s not the same. But ya know… my brain got going.

just watched Snowpiercer (2013) and i don't know if anyone else has already said this but imagine if the reason Wilford asked for kids was to eat them: "Wilford likes kids", Minister Manson said. When Curtis agrees to be the new engine master they decide to celebrate, and he bites into the steak Wilford's prepared for them. With his first bite, Curtis realizes,' holy shit, this is a child. it could be tim'
What is that was what makes him snap and agree to derail the train? Or worse, what if that wasn't enough, what if he just chewed, smiled, and fucking swallowed and that's how the movie ended?

what is ur icon. explain
taron egerton as elton john in Rocketman (2019) because that movie fundamentally altered my brain chemistry when i first watched it. i've been listening to elton john since i was a little kid and i think i watched the movie at least 3 times in theatres lmao
the first time i watched it it had been dubbed in spanish and i was still getting used to the language so i missed some of the most gut-wrenching moments like when elton's mother mocked him and said "you'll never be loved properly" just because he was gay. when i finally watched it in english it was like AUGH
anyways i love this movie. i love the songs i love the outfits i love the cinematography i love taron egerton and jamie bell so so so much

Snowpiercer (2013)
Film review #567
Director: Bong Joon-Ho
SYNOPSIS: After an attempt to halt climate change by releasing a chemical into the atmosphere, the Earth has turned into a frozen wasteland. The only survivors live aboard a trans-continent train that takes one year to travel the globe. At the front of the train, the people live in luxury, while those at the rear live in squalor. Among them is Curtis, who is scheming to revolt and make his way to the front of the train, and lead the people there to a better life...
THOUGHTS/ANALYSIS: Snowpiercer is a 2013 sci-fi post-apocalypse film based on the French graphic novel of the same name. The opening introduces us to the premise of the film; in which a solution to climate change was to disperse a chemical into the atmosphere, but this had an effect of completely freezing the earth and rendering it uninhabitable. The only survivors are living aboard a train that is constantly moving around the world, completing one full trip every year. The train is separated into a very specific order, with the wealthy and privileged living a life of luxury in the front cars, and the lower class living in squalid conditions in the rear carriages. One such person, Curtis, is working on a plan to stage an uprising to get to the front of the train and take control. The film follows the revolution as it travels through the train from the back to the front, and while you might be a little sceptical of how much variety and action you can fit in a 2-hour film set inside a train, you need not worry, as the film does a solid job of keeping things interesting, and varied. You get the claustrophobic feel of the carriages thanks to the impressive camerawork and crowded sets that generate a unique environment. Different carriages look like slums, factories, classrooms, restaurants, and nightclubs, all bound up in the same physical dimensions of a train carriage, and it's very solidly executed. The story is a fairly simple one to follow, and again, despite it's linearity, the film is able to drop in plenty of surprises and unique obstacles as the cast travel through the train. Perhaps they could have done something a bit more impactful with the ending, but that's the only criticism I can think of.
The cast of characters are well defined, and often exaggerated personifications of different facets of society. Curtis is the reluctant leader of the revolution, and you get a decent insight into the decisions he makes and how they weigh upon him. There's also a constant element of danger, as the stakes are constantly raised as a reminder that no one is safe; as main characters get killed left and right, and the revolution is always in a precarious position. The cast feels genuine, and on the whole the film is well acted, with a good, varied cast.
As mentioned, the film really shines in it's design and atmosphere: the train is able to encapsulate all these familiar environments, but with the twist of being contained in a carriage. It doesn't rely on cheap special effects, but rather well-co-ordinated action sequences that, thanks to the cramped settings, put you right in the action. The premise of a global-spanning train might sound a bit silly, and a post-apocalyptic setting that is used because only the best ones have already been done to death, but Snowpiercer genuinely offers something refreshing and exciting, combining a harsh and gritty setting with some stylish and exuberant characters. While the ending leaves things open-ended, it's a satisfying journey that combines a layer of seriousness and high stakes with some more absurd and exaggerated characters that lift the film out of being a total gloomfest just enough. Yes, the train is a thinly-veiled metaphor for the class-system, and there's not a lot of surprises in that regard, but the film genuinely surprises in being an entertaining, action-packed story despite the kneejerk impressions you might have of a revolution taking place on a train. I genuinely enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and again, while not perfect, excels in enough ways to take it an entertaining and interesting watch.

“So long as we live on this train, we all have to live how I say so.” Cool. Fuck you AND your train! [literally derails your entire worldview]

We watched the movie Snowpiercer (2013), and in this episode we discuss the plot in detail to see what we can learn about how (or how not) to write stories (especially stories about very long trains that go round and round the world forever.)
