summary The nations release the substance CW-7 with the intention of controlling global warning, but accidentally it results in another Ice Age destroying Earth. The only survivors live in the train Snowpiercer which is driven by a perpetual motion engine created by the millionaire Wilford (Ed Harris) that lives in the engine part. In 2031, after seventeen years, there is a fight of classes inside the train since the oppressed lower class lives in dreadful conditions in the last wagons of the train while the elite lives in the front wagons. The lower class is fed with protein bars only; they are oppressed and punished by Minister Mason (Tilda Swinton) and her brutal guards; and their children are taken every now and then when they reach a certain height. The leaders Gilliam (Sir John Hurt), Curtis Everett (Chris Evans), and Edgar (Jamie Bell) are plotting a scheme to reach the engine and talk to Wilford about their conditions using the addicted security engineer Namgoong Minsoo (Song Kang-ho) and his clairvoyant daughter Yona (Ko Asung) that are imprisoned to open the locked doors. When the son of Tanya (Octavia Spencer), Tim (Marcanthonee Reis), is captured by Mason, they decide to execute their plan. There are many casualties and soon Curtis discovers that they have been manipulated by Wilford to balance the resources in the train, and why the magnate keeps the lower class alive

Using evil to fight evil, makes perfect sense. Not.

Dude, perfect timing, I just watched this film randomly with my father with no knowledge of what I was going to see. While watching the film I understood the linear part of the film, but I never got the other part that you talked about, the lateral part. I really enjoyed the movie and what it had to say, but you opened up an entire new door into this film for me that I had overlooked; in a way I had watched this movie like Curtis, but you made me understand what the movie really was about and made it that much more enjoyable and interesting, for that I thank you. I've been watching your videos for a while now, from the beginning I think actually. I've found all your videos really enjoying and absolutely interesting to the point that I really look forward to them every week, but this one is the first that I have commented on. Somehow this video struck a chord in me, maybe it was the random timing, maybe it was the subject matter which I find very interesting, or maybe it was both, either way, good job.

Damn I thought this was going to be a horror movie. Are you saying the train ran on kid power? The kids were involved in keeping the engine running (in some vague way) but the idea that the energy required could be somehow input by or drawn from the children is outlandish. If I'm missing something, please correct me.

I'm so glad he referenced Every Frame A Painting. That channel brought me to this one. One of the best movies I've seen lately. Too accurate but It didnt change my love of this film. Not happening. Okay first and foremost I love the movie it was awesome and came out of nowhere still one of my favorites but far from perfect. That being said I'm pretty sure that this will be a prequel which I personally find unnecessary though I'm sure a great majority of people would enjoy it. I would prefer a sequel series if not a movie going over the events that happened after the decision to just blow up the train and kill most of the people on it and then let everybody who survived the crash try to survive in that type of environment for an extended period of time until at least some of the planet thaws enough to the point that people who are untrained to survive in a frozen environment have a place in which they can survive. That's the unperfect part of the movie for me but I would definitely be willing to watch the series following the events of that crash and seeing how it all plays out I think that would be damn right entertaining. I also completely avoided the idea of the fan theory that the movie is a sequel to the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. more story material to play with perhaps. I stroke my beard Softly as if contemplating the possibilities of such a story.

I loved the original one of my favorite movies but its not too old whats the point of this remake or whatever Im still excited to see it tho.

This film is recommended.
The future is once again a bleak vision of failing humanity in filmmaker Bong Joon Ho's latest offering entitled Snowpiercer. This heady parable literally depicting class warfare set aboard a moving train, with the rich and upper-class traveling first class while the poor and oppressed are strictly in cargo. Separating the two sets of passengers are many locked doors and military armed guards, there to establish peace and prevent any uprising. Good luck with that!
It is 2031. The world is a cold desolate place. The Ice Age has arrive, with no Scrat in sight. Attempts at balancing global warming have failed. Outside, there are no signs of life, but inside our locomotive are a few disgruntle survivors. Living conditions are getting worse by the mile. Overcrowding and poor sanitation are rampant. Food, at least for the 99% lower class globe-trotters, is a rare commodity while the special 1% elite do wine and dine in luxury service. (Come to think of it, the conditions are quite similar to air travel these days, so let this be a warning to all airlines of the things that may come.)
Of course, Snowpiercer. is an allegory and a very entertaining one at that. That the film has a more serious edge in its cautionary ecological message amid the sci-fi fantasy action is even more intriguing and gives the film some gravitas. While the film doesn't always succeed, it more often than not takes the moviegoer to some pretty imaginative sights.
Our passenger list of the good, the bad, and the ugly includes: heroic Curtis (Chris Evans) and his sidekick, Edgar (Jamie Bell) sage Gilliam (John Hurt) stoic mother Tanya (Octavia Spencer) and angry father Andrew (Ewen Bremmer) stowaways Namgoon (Song Kang-ho) and his daughter Yona (Ko Ah-sung) and villainous mastermind Wilford (Ed Harris) sadistic Franco the Elder (Vlad Ivanov) and a bucktoothed Fascist Minister Mason (a wonderful Tilda Swinton, in another nearly unrecognizable role. All being mere props to tell an apocalyptic saga of mankind and its foibles. The revolution is on, as the huddled masses break free and march onward to the Eternal Engine in the front of the massive train.
The movie moves along briskly, from one set piece to the next, until it finally derails with its common predictability. Too many of stock characters are pure stereotypes, put here exclusively for the melodrama as they overcome every obstacle placed in their way. Battles are fought and lives sacrificed for the good of mankind as they enter each car with new challenging environs to explore. It's an upward struggle all the way. It's sorta like The Poseidon Adventure on ice, sans Shelley Winters doing the backstroke.
Snowpiercer (that's the name of the high-speed train) has much to say but not very eloquently. Its tone runs the gamut from serious survival fare to nutty satire about totalitarianism and human greed. (Personally, I more than enjoyed the latter: foremost, a school sequence that was so reminiscent of Terry Gilliam's Brazil for its garishness of color and overwrought performances, especially by Alison Pill as the sweet teacher in charge of her Utopian classroom within this dystopia world. Note the tiny homage too of one of the supporting characters being that director's namesake.)
The overall look of the film is eye-catching, even if the dialog is ho-hum. Boon Joon Ho is masterful in capturing the claustrophobic spaces and showcasing the distinctive settings, even if his screenplay is at fault for its monotony and sparse dialog. Still, the film is worth viewing just for the thrilling imagery and total artistry in the production values. Special kudos to Kyung-pyo Hong's superb cinematography and Ondrej Nekvasil's detailed production design.
With its international cast and the director's unique visual style, Snowpiercer takes all of its " I think I can" power trying to make an emotional impact in this sci-fi genre. With a few better rewrites and more character development, it would have been the little movie that could. GRADE: B

Snowpiercer was a surprise to me. I thought it would be just another "social commentary" dystopian film trying to ride the coattails of The Hunger Games craze. Instead what I ended up getting was one of the best post-apocalyptic films I've ever seen. A smooth roller coaster of action and quiet, dark dialogue.
And don't get me wrong, it is another "social commentary" dystopian film, and yes, perhaps it's riding The Hunger Games craze just a little bit. But, when that riding ends up producing a film of this quality, is it a bad thing? And it's not like The Hunger Games invented the idea of alternative future where the poor are trying to usurp the rich people that are controlling them from their towers of ivory. These are both just variations of Orwell's 1984, which draws heavily from the age old tale of the underdog, David versus Goliath.
It's the execution of an idea that makes or breaks a film and here that execution is nigh flawless. Everything from the design of the train to the A-list cast of actors to the storyline that keeps up the relentless pace, but still has time to reflect on the motives, histories and moods of the characters.
Snowpiercer is simplistic art. It doesn't try to win you over with limitless of details, high explosives or flashiness. Rather it takes a central idea and fills it with as much quality as possible. Highly recommended for all fans of science fiction out there.

Tilda Swindon is using a Yorkshire accent not a Cockney accent. 8 -
Stories set on trains have always fascinated me a lot, but this one is definitely a fresh addition, a unique movie that is far from being your everyday blockbuster, with an unexpectedly deep commentary on society and stunning visuals.

The Bad trailer show in my life. Movie Review Video The Times critic A. O. Scott reviews “Snowpiercer. ” Credit Credit... Radius-TWC Snowpiercer Directed by Joon-ho Bong Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi R 2h 6m In the mood for allegory? Have a look at Bong Joon-ho’s “Snowpiercer, ” which proceeds from a fantastical premise rich with real-world relevance. After a human-engineered planetary catastrophe (trying to arrest the planet’s warming, we accidentally froze it solid), the remaining people are stuck on a train that never stops moving. A few thousand survivors live in railway cars, sorted into a rigid and ruthlessly enforced social order. In the back are huddled masses fed on gelatinous, insect-based black protein bars and kept in line by a combination of propaganda and brute force. Toward the front, the more fortunate enjoy access to schools, nightclubs, fresh food and the reassurance that they deserve everything they have. An unseen, quasi-mythical entrepreneur is in charge, and a group of rebels have decided to challenge his power and the extreme inequality he represents. The sci-fi thriller “Snowpiercer, ” directed by Bong Joon-ho and scheduled to be released on June 27, imagines the world in an ice age where the last members of the human race live on a train. The following designs and images from the film show how the train’s lower and upper class systems were portrayed. Chris Evans in a scene from the film. Credit... Jae Hyuk Lee Slide 1 of 7 The sci-fi thriller “Snowpiercer, ” directed by Bong Joon-ho and scheduled to be released on June 27, imagines the world in an ice age where the last members of the human race live on a train. Jae Hyuk Lee But perhaps, since a summer holiday weekend is approaching, you’d prefer an action movie. “Snowpiercer, ” based on the graphic novel “Le Transperceneige” by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette, is unusually satisfying in that regard as well. Mr. Bong, whose previous films include the brilliant psychological thriller “Mother” and “The Host, ” a sublimely moving monster flick, is a playful and rigorous visual thinker. Here he stages kinetic fight scenes in narrow spaces and punctuates the noise and speed of the train with moments of eerie, poignant calm as it glides through digitally rendered ice and snow. The violence inside swerves from slapstick to bloodshed and back, producing a volatile blend of humor and horror that pays tribute to the source material while coloring its themes with the director’s distinctively perverse and humane sensibility. Image Credit... Radius-TWC And if acting is your thing — or at least the particular pleasure of watching first-rate screen performers ham it up in a busy genre setting — “Snowpiercer” will not disappoint. The reluctant leader of the rebels, a back-of-the-train troublemaker named Curtis, is played by Chris Evans, his clean-cut Captain America charisma obscured by scruffy facial hair and a black wool watch cap. He is a stoical, heroic presence amid the chaos, which means he has less room to be interesting than the other actors, who provide some of that chaos. They include Octavia Spencer, John Hurt and Jamie Bell as some of Curtis’s fellow insurgents, whose careful planning and simmering resentments blossom into revolt after an especially cruel provocation by the authorities. There are soldiers in riot gear, armed with clubs and guns, but for Mr. Bong evil is never anonymous. He gives it a grotesque, human face — or rather a series of faces, most memorably Tilda Swinton’s, almost unrecognizable in prosthetic teeth and oversize glasses. She serves as a kind of spokeswoman for Mr. Wilford (Ed Harris), the enigmatic engineer who is both dictator and deity in this postapocalyptic world. As the train moves in its long, winding route around the globe, teetering on the edge of both sustainability and plausibility, Curtis and his comrades undertake a long march toward the engine. They are joined by Minsu (the great shape-shifting South Korean actor Song Kang-ho), a security specialist, and his daughter, Yona (Ko Ah-sung), both addicted to an inhalant called Kronole. Radius-TWC Like most dystopian science fiction, “Snowpiercer” has a lot of explaining to do. The idea of a high-speed train chugging through glaciers has a children’s-book charm, and the original graphic novel has some stylistic kinship with Chris Van Allsburg’s “The Polar Express. ” But Mr. Bong is interested above all in imagining how the whole thing might work, as a matter of technology and social organization. And so every episode of fighting or conspiring is accompanied by a dollop of exposition, some of it recalling the start of the journey (18 years before the action takes place), some surveying its present condition and some looking around for clues about whether or how it might end. At times, “Snowpiercer” recalls Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil, ” both in its steampunk décor and in its grimly satirical look at the workings of power and privilege in a totalitarian corporate future. Its lessons about human nature are thought-provoking, but perhaps not as memorable as its motley, eccentric display of humanity in extremis. And though the movie is playfully postmodern in its pastiche of styles and its mingling of sincerity and self-consciousness, there is also something solidly old-fashioned about the way it tells its story. Long, crowded and ambitious almost to the point of hubris, it reminded me a little of “The Poseidon Adventure” and other 1970s-vintage action allegories full of great actors struggling to survive. That’s a compliment, by the way. Disaster has become a matter of routine at the movies (in more ways than one). Planetary destruction and human extinction happen a half-dozen times every summer. It’s rarely this refreshing, though. “Snowpiercer” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). The language is rougher and the violence grislier than in most summer action movies.
