Whats the last 2 movies you really liked that arent action films.The response to this movie has been pretty surprising. I thought it wasat best, people seem to really like it though. I figured it would come and go, instead it made a decent amount of money and is critically acclaimed.

and? Thats the whole movie. And i cant even say its really capitalism because it seemed more like socialism.
You thought the train resembled socialism rather than capitalism?
"Memories of Murder" (also by Bong Joon-ho, the director of "Snowpiercer") and "New World". I watch a lot of foreign/foreign directed movies.
"Snowpiercer" wasn't wack or anything I just expected more from the director, given his track record.

I couldnt figure out if the flick was pro socialism or anti.You thought the train resembled socialism rather than capitalism?
The only black man i saw was neutered serving cacs sushi toward the front of the car, HOUSE nikka.
The black woman had her child taken from her Early, to either be educated around a bunch of cacs, or sent to prison to be used as a slave for labor
The people closest to the master were cacs that looked like Mobsters and redneck G.i Joe nikkas.
The British woman represented the brits were like another layer of insulation to big american business.
The Koreans were the cacs personal soldiers. (south koreans)
Captain America aka the average broke cac wants to get to the head of the train, not so he can destroy the system but to realize that the world must be run like this to maintain order and white supremacy, off the back of blacks and whites and he turns his back on the struggle and embraces his cacness
When captain america nearly broke the engine and the opportunity for freedom came up for the white slave the white kid got out of his station and went to the brain of the engine to keep it going instead of being free.
When the black kid was freed he stuck with his only ally, the Asian....aka african/asian connection. He didnt get back in to keep the engine running.
The asian had no other desire but to destroy the system because it kept them locked out of so many doors.
The system fell apart and the only thing was left was the black man, the asian woman and a white beast.
The end.
He dumbed it down to appeal to americans, who dont like intellectual films.

I suppose this is actually pretty valid, and I agree with the white dude taking over from the other white dude. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss type of thing.
You could probably sub out any number of systems or ideas in place for what you take the engine to be. With the message coming up always in the end that to break structures like that you must ultimately destroy them or work outside of them.
Look at what was outside of them. Nothing! But it was slowly melting away. VERY, Very, very, slowly.

You know, that might be it. Never thought about that, but yeah....that explains it.
The movie wasn't bad but it was missing something and that's the vibe I got. That it was him trying to make a blockbuster type movie, which ain't his style.

Americans dont like too much talking in films like this. They need to be kept engaged with set pieces, action and dialogue that transitions into the last to things i mentioned. Think of the matrix 2 when the Architect was babbling. It was pretty interesting but you could literally hear brains shutting down in the theatre like when is this shyt gonna be over. I heard people laughing out loud while he talked as if to say * aint nobody tryin to hear that bullshyt*

predictable as fukk
Maybe I need to let this one sink in a little, but my immediate reaction after watching is .
.
just finished 3 minutes ago and i want a sequel. im ready to rewatch, tbh. very dope concept. the execution was something else. seemed a little behind the times but it wasn't bad. i'd give it a 3.5/5. it kept my attention and the wheel are really turning. i have a feeling in about a week i'll have a more formulated opinion.
if you aren't doing anything right now, watch this movie.

It was on the simple side but it wasn't dumbed down imo.. If it was dumbed down then:
Chris Evans character would've been telling jokes while he kills, The Wolford guy at the front of the train would have Chris' love interest hostage and Chris would be trying to save her, you would have a fight on the outside/roof of the train and a bad guy would get his head cut off at a tunnel, the little kids would have bigger roles and be with Chris damn near the entire trip though the train, the supporting characters wouldn't be killed off so quickly and abruptly, the train would make stops at train stations, more CGI, etc etc etc..
It was far from cliche which pulls it out of the dumbed down category imo
That sh*t was bullsh*t and laughable breh, they turned their whole mythology and back story into a joke. The Matrix sequels are trash. No matter how many big words you use you still need to tell a proper story. Everybody had the
face when the Architect was rambling off

Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
If they dumbed it down you can bet:
the entire part about Evans' character admitting to killing and eating babies would've been cut. I'm 90% certain that's amongst the shyt Weinstein wanted to cut for American audiences.
