DNS posted:There's something about sci-fi allegories about populist uprisings that almost always leave me dissatisfied. At least in cinema, where they usually seem to take the form of "man, wouldn't it be epic if we all took down The Man" stories that play out relatively uncomplicatedly aside from some Hollywoodish twists. In this film you have an aesthetic and at times tonal broadness paired with what struck me as one of the more refined perspectives on revolutionary struggle I've seen in a recent film. I wasn't 100% crazy about the film, but I definitely thought more than once "this is soooooooo much better than Elysium."

DNS posted:Yeah I think the bare fact of Elysium existing probably made me way more grateful for how this played out. Especially when you directly compare the endings of the two: Elysium has the most bullshit, naive happy ending possible for the scenario, and Snowpiercer manages to not only not have that but also strike a really good balance between it and pure cynical "you're all hosed" grimness. The final shots of the polar bear are really beautiful.

I kept expecting what I thought was the obvious, that the protein bars were the recycled dead of the train. Maybe the swerve was intentional. We never do find out what happens to the dead of the train, do we? The reveal worked mostly due to Chris Evans selling the poo poo out of the reaction. I wasn't too grossed out, but I definitely bought that he was super grossed out.

Why give a painkiller to the guy you're about to torture?

wyoming posted:Yeah, I don't get this at all, how is the name Gilliam wall breaking in any sense? it's way too on the nose for a movie that's already humping Terry Gilliam a lot it's the equivelant of if, in Robocop, the cop's name was Jesus H. Murphy

i'll put it this way: it's less corny and stupid than all of the characters in Final Destination being named after classic horror directors, but more corny and stupid than the two lead characters in Return of the Living Dead being named Burt and Ernie.
