Snow Piercer is not about a train. It’s about capitalism, communism, revolutions and anarchism. The train is the capitalist world and the final message is anarchist.
Okay sure but can’t you have all of that without the train?
Imo a bunker would be a much better metaphor, especially since Ed Harris’ character believed their world was eternal (it was hard to believe it was running for that long).
I like the director and his critique on capitalism but imo he did it wrong. Especially give that the ending…
Tap for spoiler
…was the self destruction of humanity, given the train crashed, not anarchy.
Imo the movie would have been semi saved if they just showed a tribe of Eskimos at the end, not a polar bear.
That would be perfect, it would show that humanity would live on, but clearly the capitalistic system that was preserved on a train was self destructive and always meant to crash.

Yeah, complaining about the science of Snowpiercer is kind of like complaining that the animals in Animal Farm talk

But you can’t “derail” a bunker. And the point of the ending was that neither capitalism not communism are the answer.
It depends on which Snowpiercer you’re watching. The movie is about the revolution. The series is about lazy people fucking up the working system.
