Review : Snowpiercer (2013)

Before I begin, let me say this: this movie is absolutely a masterpiece, it’s rich combination of action, comedy, and deep questions are blended well off where people could watch the movie multiple times and leave with entirely different ideas than others, or even themselves for that matter.

First off, this movie is an action movie, yes, but more importantly it is supposed to make you think about how it is similar to our modern life, that being the disregard to act if something doesn’t directly affect our life and the class struggles of our country. For some background, this movie is directed by Korean director Bong Joon Ho, the relevancy of this info is that he creates movies to make statements that are thought provoking and draw parallels to the social environment of modern culture.

Set in the year 2031, “Snowpiercer” establishes the decline of civilization over its opening credits: Following chemical warfare, the planet has frozen over, leaving the last remaining survivors of mankind aboard the eponymous train. As the Snowpiercer ceaselessly churns around the frozen country on a year-round cycle, its inhabitants lead disparate lifestyles tied to their placement in the vehicle — those near the front live comfortably, while the tail-end dwellers struggle under a horribly impoverished existence monitored by oppressive guards. Lob’s epic tale unfolded across a much longer time period, but Bong’s treatment is practically a real-time endeavor, chronicling attempts by tail-end insurgents to hijack the front of the train and overtake its cryptic mastermind, a largely unseen presence named Wilford.

If you're someone who wants a ".....Happily Ever After", this is most likely not the movie for you.
I personally loved the characters of Grey and Edgar. Something about them just stood out, apart from all our main leads of course. I fully endorse this movie and its message.

Actually I was about to see the Netflix series based on this film and the original graphic novel have also been released recently.But I ended up in watching the movie first . I have only watched the trailer for the series.I ll share that with you here.
