    I like the symbolism of the arm in the film. Near the start, Chris says he can't lead because he still has his arm. Later we find out that's because people began giving their arms and legs as food when the people were starving, but Chris did not, so still having an arm is a symbol of selfishness and that he didn't make a personal sacrifice to aid his tail-end comrades. At the end, he uses his arm to stop the engine and finally repay that debt to finish the revolution.

      more analysis in this comment than in the video above :D:D:D i also like how edward comments on steak only a few times in the begining and we only see steak at the end as wilson cooks it for Curtis. The film is so well crafted that there are is much artistry for food for thought. I guess i thought this EXPLAINED BREAKDOWN and ANAYSIS would be a bit more in depth?

      I would have thought that too, but the girls dad was literally whispering survival and information about the outside world her whole life. I also think he chose to make the girl the older child because girls usually develop faster cognitively and by the time they are in their 30-20 (they’re ten years apart) they could definitely procreate, probably by then the earth will have melted significantly. I also think that since all they have ever known is survival, they must have some good skills for it. I can’t imagine she won’t go through kronole withdrawals though...

    I like the polar bear and its symbolism. They are apex predators, at the top of a food chain, which includes fish and marine mammals. So the ecosystems have revived enough to support large mammals, which means food sources for humans. The survivors are still confronting an apex predator, like the humans on the train. And they are at the lower end of the food chain, once again.

      But that doesn't actually follow, because polar bears don't grow from spores, they come from other polar bears. Thus, their presence indicates only that polar bears were always able to survive outside.
      The world might indeed be fit for human habitation (it doesn't seem like it, but maybe), but the presence of polar bears doesn't indicate that.

      Guto Mesquita Exactly, and im not criticizing joker as i love it, but anyone familiar enough with cinema, knows Jokers plot and setting wasn’t unique and undone before. The main selling point was the fact it was *the* Joker, there’s alot of better class struggle movies than joker, one which, was released the same year, and is by the same director of snowpiercer, Parasite. I still think Joker is an incredible take on Jokers character, probably top 3 comic related movie for me. I Just dislike people who think Joker is the first and only movie of its type, as the original comment is implying.

    I Love how people analyze this film, and they forgot to cite the original source... Snowpiercer is based on Le Transperceneige a french graphic novel published around 1982.
    The end of the movie is the beginning of the second book collection "The Explorers", in the whole book the crew is send to find a radio signal, possibly from another human settlement.
    Sadly at the end of "The Explorers" you find that there was a second parallel train, and that the signal was just an automatic audio beacon.
    There is a third book, "The Crossing" that I haven't the chance to read, and on top of that there is a fourth volume called "Terminus" that concludes the series.
    Also if you think really in the sociological meaning of the back and front of the train cars, depending of were the beholder is standing the back car of the train could be the extreme left, and the engine the extreme right.. But if the beholder is on the other side it will see the opposite the back of the car is the right and the engine the left.
    Which makes any political system atrocious is not even the philosophical foundations is the real human application, the perspective of those in power.
    But until now, I am still seeing a lot of lies, deception and death on those who govern with doctrines from the left side of the political spectrum.
    Unfortunately this movie was considered just a dystopian scifi action flick... But people couldn't see the amount of layers and reading on this film.

    My impression is that Wilford was lying about working together with Gilliam to manipulate Curtis. Curtis knows that Gilliam holds children’s lives as sacred (sacrificed his arm for one), and therefor once Curtis sees how Wilford uses the children, he knows that Gilliam and Wilford do not share values and couldn’t be working together. This is the exact moment where he turns on Wilford. Any opinions on this?

    I always looked at the polar bear in the end to signify the future. Remember, those two kids never been outside. They probably don't even know how dangerous bears are. They also had been eating those bars their entire lives so they do not know what food looks like. The two dont even speak the same language. On that same note however, a polar bear had been able to survive. If the polar bear found food, then this will signify that the kids can as well. The bear's existence told the viewers of the future struggles the children will face.

    The Korean man was right, the ice was melting and it is safe to go outside now. But him blowing up the train door end up killing everyone on the train except just two people lol. That was a pretty stupid writing.

    Another thing in the film that's relevant today: a lot of the "essential workers" I encountered who worked in grocery stores were teenagers, much like the kids in the film are powering the engine. There's this whole rhetoric that teens aren't entitled to living wages because they live with their parents, and if McDonald's paid living wages to their supposedly mostly teen work force (truth is, a lot of adults work in fast food places as well, it's not all high schoolers), the whole enterprise would go under. I think that if these people are essential to running your business, and they are because they're the ones actually "assembling" and distributing the products to consumers, then they should be paid like essential workers and not disposable cogs in a machine.

    @paulh2468 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the interesting analysis. There is another youtube video that interprets Snowpiercer as a retelling of Gnostic Christian theology. Too complicated to go into detail here, the idea is that the train represents the physical universe, which is our prison. An evil creator, referred to as the Demiurge, and played by Wilfred, keeps us trapped here. He has servants, called archons, that are the prison guards, the soldiers in Snowpiercer. A gnostic Christian is supposed to move to higher levels of understanding (toward the front of the train), overcome the demiurge, and escape to Heaven and join the real God. Only a few people can make it, which is shown by most of the rebels being killed along the way to the front. The kids that survive represent the idea that only the innocent can go to Heaven. Gnosticism was exterminated by orthodox Christians in the first few centuries after Christ, by killing gnostics and burning their books. A copy of some of their writings was discovered in 1945, in Egypt. It's called the Nag Hammadi Library. It contains the Gospel of Thomas, which reads more like Zen Buddhism, than Christianity. Just one of many ways to interpret this fantastic movie.

The main character and that Asian side character who wanted to blow up the door made humanity extinct . If they were going to abort the train they couldn’t have picked a worse place to do so the mountains are will guarantee certain death and when you add polar bears to the picture yea they didn’t last two days.

So basically ending humanity. Great plot, ending with suicide. I guess everyone on the train was technically insane.

    The only big massage i received about society is. How well planned the leader of both Rich and Poor co-ordinate to runs the society, as shown in movie. Its hard to swallow but that's the reality of today or almost from past when human lives in colonies with classes.

    The ending is supposed to give hope for mankind... but theres just 2 children who dont speak the same language, halfway down a bear ridden mountainside

      The director mentioned in an interview that other people survived the crash so it's not just them. Also he's a child, she could probably teach him her language anyway

    The way I saw this film was that rebellion only either ends in defeat or leaves the world in ruin and all that remains is uncertainty and likely further death

    repopulate? There is no food. They die. As an Alaskan, if they saw a polar bear, they would be bear food.

      There’s food and shelter on the train, the wreck could probably provide them with things for a while

    So they blew up the train killed everyone so a 8 yr old boy and a 15 yr old girl could see a bear that would probably eat them if it didn't they froze to death by night fall good movie but the ending sucked

    So since there’s a polar bear, that means they never entirely died off and went extinct, animals just had very small numbers
