Expresso do Amanhã (2013)

Social Class Struggle but cool

Snowpiercer is dystopian, futuristic, sci-fi film. Directed by Bong Joon-Ho who explores the social class structure of a society now bound to living on a train around the world that never stops. We enter the train at the very back where life resembles living in the slums. Curtis Everett and some others are tired of living in such terrible conditions and proceeds to set out to reach the front of the line.
This movie is so creative in terms of discussing issues of social class. The way the society has developed is quite realistic in my opinion and I think the idea of such a futuristic world is not entirely implausible. There is definitely elements of brainwashing used by those in charge for the purpose of maintaining complete control over the people on the train and avoid resistance.

The ending of the movie is really unique there are some startling aspects about the train that we learn about through the course of the movie. We also learn more about the outside world and its condition.
Overall a great movie I have re-watched several times and highly recommend!

Bong Joon-ho triunfa con un reparto internacional.

Snowpiercer fue el primer proyecto con casting internacional del ya más que aclamado Bong Joon-ho. Y pese a que la cinta ha tenido numerosas críticas a lo largo de los años, a mí personalmente me encanta.

Quizá no está a la altura de sus grandes películas, pero sin duda conserva el mordaz retrato de los bajos fondos y la lucha de clases tan típicos de la filmografía de su director, que además aquí nos muestra las que son quizá las mejores escenas de acción que jamás ha rodado.

También cabría destacar el estupendo reparto, donde destaca un increíble Song Kang-ho.
