The story tells that a sudden climatic change has caused the destruction of most of the human race on the earth, and on a train that has no end and runs along the tracks, carrying the last surviving people on the earth, the "Snow Country Train" becomes their final destination, the last faith and the final cage, where the oppressed last-section car rebels fight against the right class on the train for survival and dignity.
In 2031, humanity's attempt to stop global warming failed, and the extreme cold caused the death of most life on Earth. All those who survived the glacial catastrophe boarded a train like Noah's Ark, which relied on perpetual motion machines to circumnavigate the earth. On this train, which has a hierarchical division of carriages, the people of the last carriages who have suffered from hunger and live in harsh conditions, under the leadership of the revolutionary leader Curtis, have set off a "revolution" marching towards the front of the carriage in order to survive the forward of one carriage after another.
"Snow Country Train" is an ambitious, visually stunning, rich and very satisfying epic of the future, and director Bong Joon-ho is a talented director from South Korea.
Whether mainstream Western audiences will be able to accept this dark and cruel genre is still unknown, but Bong Joon-ho has already beaten Hollywood in his own way. Snow Train tells a great apocalyptic sci-fi story and is a very unique and exciting movie experience.
This is another show by director Bong Joon-ho that combines story charm and deep meaning, and the surprise level of the film makes people respect the director again, and films like "Snow Country Train" will not appear again for a short time. The story framework is solid and solid, with rich dramatic conflicts, which is even better than the previous work of the director. In particular, the action, art, costumes, sets, and even sound treatment are close to perfect, and the presentation of the frozen snowfield outside the ice age train is also excellent.
"Snow Country Train" is the most ruthless story told by Bong Joon-ho, using a dreamy way to dissolve the ugliness of mankind, which is the magic of Bong Joon-ho's director. Overall, the film's reputation among Korean audiences is not bad, but the relatively heavy tone and the central proposition that is difficult to fully digest and understand will have an impact on the viewing pleasure of Korean audiences who have been baptized by commercial entertainment blockbusters.
"Snow Country Train" carries the subversive values that director Bong Joon-ho has always loved, but it has lost his most attractive sense of humor, and only some sincere meaning is inevitably a bit boring. This may be precisely the globalization strategy of the film will be released in 167 countries.
