South Korean director Bong Joon-ho won four Oscars for his filming film "Parasite" and has a pivotal position in the Korean directorial world. His production must be a fine product, whether it is "Killing Memory" or "Han River Monster" has won the audience's high praise. Today I will comment on it for you, another of his masterpieces, "Snow Country Train"!
"Snow Train" is set in a future world where the earth is warming, and people have built such a train in order to survive, and no one knows how long this train will run, and no one knows where people's future is. People who live in good carriages enjoy life in paper drunken gold fans, and people who live in poor carriages are not as good as pigs and dogs.
17 years, still living in the bottom of the snow country train people, every day can only rely on the black lacquer nutrition cream to live, the front of the car, eating steak, but also layer by layer of carriages to select excellent music players, for their beautiful life to add bricks and tiles, if only so, maybe everyone will endure, did not expect, the front car people, but also constantly look for children in the back car to enslave, the child's parents have a little reluctance, the wrong hand hurt the front car people, will be cruelly treated, lose arms. The enslavement of people in the upper classes is endless, even unreasonable, and there is no reason, so yes, there is a song that says that the world is either black or white.
When you see this scene, will you feel very familiar, the United States has always praised its own democracy and peace, there are human rights, but if you look closely at the news of their country in recent years, you will find that how many black people, just a little in front of the police to express their ideas, before the words are finished, they died at the hands of the police. The recent incident of the police injuring blacks has also aroused public resentment, and black people living in the United States are really a miserable existence. Shouldn't the existence of a police force in a country be established to protect the interests of the country and the safety of the people? Why is it more frightening than some reactionaries?
There is some logic in the snow country train that is even more counterintuitive, such as this train can drive for so long, where in the world has such a long track for it to open. The world is frozen, where are so many cockroaches and cattle, for everyone to eat, is it really a takeaway order? Where did the rich and noble families in the carriages, which supported their drunken and gold-obsessed lives, come from?
But if this story is placed in a specific scene in the play, it can be regarded as barely true, this train, the world's ukiyo-e shows in front of people's eyes, people living in the bottom society, do not have any right to speak, let alone the ability to choose food. Even if the hungry people ate people at that time, they could now eat nutritional ointment and get rid of the situation of Ru Mao drinking blood, which should already be thankful. The people in the first few carriages are dancing and drinking and enjoying life every day, and where people are different, it is simply too different. Don't say anything more about my fate, the more you grow up, the more cruel the world, the more things you can't control.
In fact, deduced into the real world, each of these truths is established, ordinary people, work hard to save money and live a lifetime, but also buy a suite, rich people, at every turn is rumored, where to buy a mansion, even drink a bottle of water to seventy or eighty, my father went out to buy water, picked the lowest price of a dollar a bottle. Having money can really heal seventy or eighty percent of life's hurts. Where is this world born equal, at the moment of birth, there is inequality between people, this world is very cruel, in pain, in grievance, we still have to learn to face and endure.
The male protagonist knows how to observe, knows that there is no bullet in the guard gun, with the low-level people, accompanied by the technicians and his daughter who have worked so hard to find, they have broken through many carriages together, breaking into the carriage where the nutritional cream is made, all the poor people are frantically grabbing food, the male protagonist took a look at how the food was made, and almost did not kneel. But in the age of famine, as long as you can enter, who cares what the ingredients are. People living in this world is so difficult, although looking at people now, get rid of the life of Ru Mao drinking water, and even the net red food brushed on the vibrato, each one is beautifully packaged, the style is unique, the people living in this earthly world, but also just a different way to care, hard months, how many offices have been hidden, the world is uncertain, just to earn a meager monthly salary, think of pity? Super pathetic! Every time I go to the office, I laugh at myself, dress so beautifully, make money in a month, and not make much more by moving bricks on the construction site.
When entering the carriage of the last snow country train ruler, the male protagonist's outlook on life was subverted, just like many novels write, the most cruel thing in the world, but you have been entangled in the things that you have worked hard for a long time, and found that in the eyes of others, it is just a game of chess, the moment when the letter collapses, it is also the climax of the movie, and it is also the most cruel part of the story of many lives. In the mouth of those in power, the male protagonist fights desperately, which is just a way for him to regulate the ecological balance of this train. Just like the animal survival mode, survival of the fittest, the weak eat the strong. When you don't have enough to eat, there is no etiquette to talk about. And the unveiling of the male protagonist is only the owner of the carriage deliberately provoking again and again, just to borrow the hand of the male protagonist and kill some people who should have been eliminated long ago, but they are embarrassed to say it.
Looking at the train owner's thinking, you will not feel inexplicably familiar, like watching your own leader grasp the overall situation of the company again and again, using those techniques. They say in a beautiful name that this is called the study of being a leader, but how many people understand the heartache after being eliminated, and the cruelty of leadership. But this is the real world, and only in this way can society progress and companies can progress.
In the snow country train, the lives of ordinary people are not valuable, and in reality, this is also the case. I once knew a colleague who told me with a disdainful face that she was out playing with her husband, and when she was driving, she bumped into a couple, and their family opened her mouth to her lion, and said with great emotion, this is simply naked blackmail, I did not say a word on the side, but the whole body was cold, the couple who were hit by their car, paid the price of life, she is still here to say that people blackmail, how fragile human life is.
The male protagonist of this play finally heard the train owner and said that he would let him take over in the future, and it changed, which was a bit disappointing to me. When she looked at thirty years, Gu Jia in super love, she was the most transparent in life, she opposed those authoritarian parents in the children's school parents' meeting, and after defeating those parents, when she was qualified to do it, she did not accept it. She said the most classic words at that time, some people hate rights and unspoken rules, but when they become beneficiaries, they can't help but be tempted, the male protagonist really has this meaning, which makes people a little disappointed, fortunately, the male protagonist has an epiphany early and finds his original intention in time.
When I saw a small child controlling the operation of the train, is the so-called kinetic energy of the train, I still laughed unkindly, although this movie is adapted through animation, animation is generally a little far from life, the imagination, think of where to make up where, when making up movies, the director can always add some more logical elements, so that the film can be filmed more vividly, interesting, suitable for adults to watch, just like the first two years of the fire in China Nezha, the story into a lot of other elements, Let adults find their own points in it, and after watching the movie, they will have a different epiphany. This snow country train gives people the feeling, a bit like watching a small era, too good than life, if it is not the actor acting skills are too good, people will completely run out of the drama, this kind of film, idle time to see it does not matter, but want to achieve a huge effect in the movie, it is absolutely impossible.
After blowing up the snow country carriage, the only two remaining people out of the carriage, the play has said that the outside temperature is suitable for people's life, but it looks good cold, watch this film must not eat anything ice, otherwise it will definitely freeze your toothache. The movie ended when the little girl saw the big white bear, and many people playfully wondered if they would escape from the train and enter the bear's belly again. I wondered, what happened to that carriage with marine animals?
I think the director wants to tell the audience at the end of the film that where there are animals, people can live, and they can rely on their own wisdom and wisdom to create a beautiful living environment. In fact, this sense of breakthrough is very similar to young people in the workplace, surviving in the office every day, the vision has become only stuck in one place, unable to broaden the view of the world, life has become only open and secret, only by trying to get out of the original comfortable circle, can you see a different scenery. The eyes of the little girl in the play are super beautiful and super pure. Everyone who has seen Hamlet has a different heart, and the snow train I am talking about may not be the same as you think, but I believe that when you watch this drama, you will have some such thoughts in your mind. After all, most of the good songs are lyrics into the heart, and the film and television works that can resonate with people, most of them have certain points, which can arouse certain things that have happened in people's hearts and make people resonate.
I hope that both Korean directors and Chinese directors will give full play to the wisdom of their little brains and present more and more wonderful works for the audience. Movies are really very different from TV series, and the impact on people and the excavation of human nature are deeper. It is more necessary for good actors to perfectly interpret, and the actors in the snow country train, whether the protagonist or supporting roles, are particularly superb in acting, bringing an audiovisual feast to the audience.
