Essay / Snowpiercer Reflection - 1339
I turned on my laptop on a hot September day, and as I decided to rewatch Snowpiercer, a thought came to mind about what was happening happens when a huge catastrophe drains most of the human population. Numbers. Unfortunately, Snowpiercer brings my thoughts into a reality that I can't help but keep my eyes from being glued to my screen. Knowing full well what the film had in store for the viewer and, yet, I knew I was in for another roller coaster ride that would make me question humanity from justice. Snowpiercer, a wild roller coaster ride takes you to a place where humanity has almost disappeared. The only thing preventing them from total extinction is the train and its social frameworks in the difference of life. Unfortunately, Snowpiercer doesn't stop. Before, this black jelly protein bar was given to the lower class who lived a month without any food source by their side. Many converted to cannibalism because the hunger was so severe, all because Wilford (ED Harris) did not include them in his grand survival plan. The other thing Wilford (Ed Harris) forgot to do for the lower class was provide them with decent living conditions; instead, they are forced to live in a very small and restricted space where such intimacy cannot occur. Another thing that the upper classes don't have to live with is having to live in dirt rather than enjoying the juice of life. At this point, I wonder why Wilford (Ed Harris) didn't think of his lower-class citizens aboard his train. Maybe, just maybe because they didn't buy a ticket? To add insult to injury, the lower class is not only mistreated but humiliated for any type of rebellious action towards the upper class. For example, someone from a higher class came looking for children of a particular height. Unfortunately, the upperclassmen find two children the size they need and take them by force. One of the children's parents takes off his shoe and throws it at a lady who appears to be a very important person. As a result, Andrew (Ewen Bremner), the father, although the upper class submits, must now obey the demands of the lower class. However, be aware that the lower class has gained motivation and feels that Wilford (Ed Harris) must take charge of their living conditions. However, as you continue to watch, you begin to notice a change in tone from the lower class leader. Curtis (Chris Evans) is the main culprit for the underling, so when you start to notice his tone ranging from redemption to revenge, you start to wonder how far will he go. This is a moment in the film where Curtis (Chris Evans) is offered the train job
