Everyone goes into this movie thinking it's going to be a zombie movie, then they discover it's a heart breaking tear-jerker with zombies in it. That little girl is an amazing actress too. So good.
I lived in South Korea for a number of years and watched a lot of TV there. Koreans love movies with drama and heartbreak, so I wasn't surprised to see so much emotion in this film.
Yeah, it's initially confusing- I think because of the movie's editing (slow motion and all)- but the old lady that stood there shaking her head and smiling at her sister was staying behind to give the other survivors time to shut the door, since she wouldn't be fast enough to make it without bringing the oncoming rush of zombies with her. And you can see the main guy just barely closed the door in time :) Edit: There is actually a Train To Busan sequel (Peninsula, released 2020), it takes place in the same universe but it is not connected to the characters in the first movie.
Also if you're interested in more Korean horror movie recs: The Wailing (2016) is a very popular horror movie that involves the supernatural. There's also Parasite (2019) which concerns class differences, and was written and directed by the famous Bong Joon-ho. Memories of Murder (2003) is a crime thriller inspired by true events (first known Korean serial killings, solved in 2019) that was also directed by Bong Joon-ho ❤
Nah she gave up on humanity. After surviving the zombies, she saw how the larger group of people trying their hardest to block her group to safety. She got traumatized and got tired of trying to survive
@@CodyCha No, she sacrificed herself so the others could make it through. Her sister even said that she was always putting others before herself. Her letting the other infected take her down bought the main group precious seconds to be able to secure that door.
When "Parasite" was in theaters, RU-vid suggested "Train To Biusan." I had seen South Korean movies before, so I though I knew what to expect. The roller coaster ride through Fear, Dread, Anget to Sorrow left me emotionally drained. Kudos to the writer(s), director(s), actors, and, especially the stunt performers for creating a Modern Classic. The characters are "fully fleshed out," so when bad things ahppen, we feel for them. A bittersweet movie...
1. That highschool girl actress is a famous former k pop idol 2. 09:42 The line 'I am sorry' is mistranslated. Its meaing is ' Forgive my sins,The lord' rather than 'I am sorry'.
Yes, there's a sequel that takes place 4 years after this outbreak called Peninsula but it's a totally different story and style. It was a good watch too.
The first zombie on the train who bites the stewardess is a cameo appearance by one of the best actresses South Korea has produced in recent years. Shim Eun kyung, her girl comedy Sunny(2011) is worth checking out.
yall lost my thumbs up, with the fartin the baby out her cooter comment. Severely crass considering what women go thru in childbirth. Grow the hell up.
