An experiment to fix global warming fails and causes a new ice age, forcing the few surviving humans to live in a special train where each car represents a class. Subscribe to our second channel: tinyurl.com/Mo...
Liberals don't realize polar bears aren't snuggly scaredy cats. A polar bear will walk right up to you, slowly, and begin gnawing at you with the pace a cat lazily grooms itself. They won't roar, they won't posture, they will just silently walk up to you and begin chomping away.
Considering, that railway service used to collapse if 5 cms of snow falls, to keep it run continuously is even much bigger achievement then building a perpetual engine 😂
Fun facts: This movie was directed and written by Bong Joon Ho, the same guy who wrote and directed the Oscar winning film, Parasite. Also the actor who played Nam is the South Korean actor Song Kang Ho, who played the dad of the poor family in Parasite. The director eally likes to make movies about socioeconomic disparities.
@@Handa94 no, there’s a line that confirmed in the movie that what they were eating was the waste product of all other caste members. But in the movie it’s crabs.
@@jackbrunato8960Not only to mention, it is Bong Joon Ho's first film in English language; 85% of dialogue were shot in English. It was adapted from a French graphic novel called Le Transperceneige written by a trio of authors named Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette.
The whole movie plot was an analogy to the world. Every compartment depicts a social ladder and how people behind that are forbidden or discouraged to cross the limits. Train is life and social framework.
Yeah, but then again, what's the point of it all since it's easy to imagine replete allegorical renderings of inherent divisions within societies. Au contraire: for me, the train idea is death, and the movie? A dud.
Basically it is the plot of every movie who's writers took a freshman intro to sociology glass and are trying to pass it off as some mind-opening thing.
@@Paul_Bedford If I were an actor, and I have been, it would take a lot of dough to place myself in such an environment that would seem like a lifetime.😱😱
I think The Train is specifically an allegory for North Korea. The director and writer of the movie is from South Korea. The ending of the movie is bleak, because its showing what would happen if you just suddenly destroy the government/social system of North Korea. Most of he people there would probably freeze and/or starve. It's a dilemma that the people of South Korea are very familiar with, having lived with it their whole lives.
I forget why they had to keep going on the train, I mean if they made a perpetual motion engine (or whatever) you'd think they could use that to power a heater inside a big dome or something where people can live. Bottom line is they're using all this energy to move a train, which really isn't doing much of anything.
I always found the premise of this movie very far fetched. I work with trains and those things need maintenance at least every 80.000 km. Wheels, bearings, not to mention the tracks and switches that suffer greatly with the cold. Also as said above, why not just turn the motion in to heat and stay put? It just doesn't make any sense.
@@youteacher78 Why not just move near the equator and live a normal life? 💀 The original route even avoids South India, Arabia, and the Sahara. The train mostly tracks around the North Pole and follows coastal regions. Which are supposed to be cold. The whole train is running on propaganda.
The movement of the train powers the perpetual engine, whitch then creates energy to boost the train AND power the cars. If the train stops, the engine won't have enough kinetic energy to create power. So basicaly, without movement the engine would not create any power.
The ending always felt kind of stupid to me. Sure, the infrastructure and buildings of the old world are all still there, but the train crashed somewhere in a mountain range, far away from the remnants of civilization and we learn in the beginning that a short amount of time is enough to not just cause deadly hypothermia but actually turn you into a human popsicle. They could stay inside the wrecked train, but without the engine there is no power, so the temperature will eventually sink to a deadly level as well. The food is also ruined from the crash, all of the animals are probably dead. Though at least refrigeration won't be a very big problem.
My biggest gripe with concepts like these is that they severely discount human ingenuity. A fucking train?! Remaining on the surface?! Are you shitting me? Dig, motherfucker, dig and eventually you'll run into enough geothermal heat to cook without a fire. Not to mention that a severe cooling of the planet would instantly become a free pass to reheat it like crazy using fossil fuels, and, if all else fails, as long as the sun still shine, all you need is a couple meters of styrofoam insulation around a solar oven and you can harvest enough heat from the sun to create a perfectly cozy inside space. Jesus fucking christ this shit annoys me. Part of the movie's premise needs to be the idea that all engineers also somehow instantly perished.
If you had a perpetual engine you could produce enough power to survive without a train in a heated underground habitat with everything the train had and more.
The movie was outstanding. I watched it with my sister & 3 of her friends. The point where they showed their food bars were made of cockroaches: Three women in unison screaming that scream all men know still haunts me
But this scene was shown after he said they resorted to eating babies. This movie is a hot mess, how are the children used as spare parts? How does his arm not just snap off when he sticks it between gears? Also, the train car with the elementary school is several cars before the car with the s&m club so do the kids have to go through the s&m club to get to class?
Wilford built a perpetual engine, but he didn't manage to make it working on a fixed place, producing just power instead of running a train around for nothing... ... or he is simply a railway fanatic 😂
“They go outside and watch a polar bear as they realise they won’t die from freezing” Is exactly the opposite thing I think about when i see a polar bear.
@@redbarron9863 The thing the ending says in so many polar bears is that while it was too cold in the past, people on the train began to be more restricted by the idea of it being too cold for survival than if it actually is too cold or not.
Anyone ever hear the theory that this is the sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? It's amazing and totally fits. Charlie grew up, renamed himself Wilford in honor of his mentor, and used the skills he was taught making food and fantastical machines to make the train. There are so many other details that work too. Seriously look it up.
I have. I made a similar Comment before seeing yours. It really does make sence but because of the stark contrast between worlds people find it hard to believe.
@@nathanhale7444 The best movie rabbit hole ever. The more you look, the better it gets. I won't even spoil the best connections because they're so good.
OK. So the screenplay writer saw Willy Wonka and played with the script, then? A lot of loose associations and closed loopholes later you got a weird fan theory!
That is by far the most crazy and dumb theory I have ever heard and I listen to people talk about ash from pokemon being in a coma an all his adventure in his head.
If a polar bear rolls up on you, it's guaranteed you were tracked from miles away and the violation that's coming is premeditated. Thanks, Casual Geographic!
Surprised you didn't start off with the animated short / prelude to the film. Over time, I've always wondered why they didn't use the engine to make heat. Like I get that Wilford had an obsession with trains... but if you have an engine thats perpetual then you have unlimted heat as well. I've seen this movie a few times, and even in the recap when it gets to the end is so mind blowing.
I know right 😂, they couldve just placed it inside a huge building, that way its easier for them and they could even do vertical farming, and progressively tunneling deeper and deeper since they have a lot of time anyway
Psychological manipulation is an ugly and effective thing. The sole example I'll point to is this: Sticking an arm out and holding it there in a vehicle going VERY fast in an icy environment... It's ot surprise it would freeze, and thus give the false illusion of it being too cold for survival outside.
I tried, really tried to watch this movie on three different nights and it was just too painfully slow and boring to keep going. Congrats on making it through the entire thing without dying and thank you for your sacrifice.
I haven’t seen the movie, but what keeps the tracks clear of snow and debris? Who does the maintenance on the rails, bridges and trestles, to keep the train from derailing? Confused.
also one thing to consider is who the hell made the train tracks to begin with- and why did they have to choose a track that goes through so many cliffs and cliffsides?
@@labaccident2010someone did point out how the fuck are they maintaining the train, tracks, everything when even 5 inches of snow renders train tracks unsafe
What I like about this movie is the way they need to handle nature (plants, animals,...) in the train in order to maintain stability. Imagine humanity would already do that.
boils down to would you rather die, or be poor they basically decided that they wanted to die free, rather than be slaves the rebels essentially wiped out the rest of humanity rather than keep living in those conditions
@@OsamaBinLooney Humanity was already dead, or at least that's maybe what can be derived, they may have eonly frozen 70-90% of the world and the equator might still be ice free, so it could all be just some bad luck in positioning
@@OsamaBinLooney The rebels went into revolution with the expectation of rather dying free, because they live under the same mindset as any other person on the train that it was still at-present too cold outside (one might think of it as an allegory for ideology), albeit the end is open for interpretation with the polar bear suggesting they were more restricted by that idea than what the outside is actually like. While you could think of it like "polar bears live in places akin to northern Canada", the symbolism is that it's a thing that is alive they see.
If they had bullets after all, why would they not reserve it for the people that are most likely to revolt? It makes no sense to have it solely focused on the upper classes since the chances of violence are much lower.
@@artimuos903 dumb fan theory? A poor boy living in poverty finds a ticket in a bar of food. One by one, in each room, someone is lost and the group is forced to continue without them until only one person remains. That person then finds out that the entire journey was a test elaborately concocted by a wealthy industrialist who needed a successor. Which movie am I describing 🤣
A couple years ago someone did an excellent breakdown of why this is probable. Part that got me was when Wilford said the "parts needed to work the engine went extinct years ago" so they had to use kids. Oompa loompas would be the right size, and operated many of Wonka's machines both internally and externally.
I have a theory that there are other trains / locations that humans are in, as anything alive would freeze but ''the ice is thawing'' can't bring back things that freezed previosuly, so there might be other trains / areas people are at, like geothermal locations or preservation vaults that might have animals like the polar bear we see at the end
I remember watching this and while there may be many exemples, it does show what happen if you try to overthrow the status quo without any reel plan after the deed is done. Also dying from being killed by a polar bear isn't better thab dying from freezing
This movie was based on what would happen if you tried to Dim the Sun.. Guess what, Bill Gates is Trying to Dim the Sun RIGHT NOW as we speak.. He is pumping chemicals in the air to reflect sunlight, Just like the movie.. Just a heads up.
Let's not kid ourselves if this teddy bear saw them, they certainly won't freeze. Also, humanity became extinct after the derailment of the train run by the degenerate and his crew.
there is no way you can build a society on a train, someone got paid to think of this, needs to be fired and put in prison, theres only about a million loop holes questions i dont even want to begin
The movie has such amazing casts. But story is truly heartbreaking. It took a lot out of me, especially the protein bars with the CRs. Saw the movie once and never again 😔😔😔😔
so a train that runs forever huh? where did they get the sand? I would imagine they would have to be using it nearly all day every day to maintain that kind of speed and stability.
If the polar bear saw them then they will not actually die from the cold. And dying won't be as pleasant as freezing when the bear takes care of them 😉 .
Saw movie and tv show it was good. He built a rail and train 100+ cars long strong enough to last 17 years in sub zero degrees with that train moving around it non stop. The car designs were nice.
thanks so much for this. it's the combination of the narrator and the background song run to earth. I don't know what it is but it gives hope for the future.
I love this channel in particular because he uses Run to Earth with every video no matter what the movie. It brings a special calming and hopeful feel to the storytelling.
The idea of the movie was interesting, and it was going well in the first half, then once they get to the dark cart it goes completely downhill and the rest is so stupid, especially the ending. Would not recommend.
Scientists debunks, "In the future for winter. Many people believe it's a blizzard storm, where all parts of state of countries got iced. However reports by Russia, they told there's big clean up for deep snow to create new eco systems."
Still remember the first time when I first saw the protein blocks being made from cockroaches, grossed me out (even though cockroaches are rich in protein).
