Snowpiecer <\/em><\/strong>[2013] The<\/u><\/strong> Pitch<\/u>:<\/strong> \u201dHey, let\u2019s let Bong Joon-ho<\/strong> make a movie of the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige<\/strong> \u2013 he\u2019s hot off of directing The Host<\/em><\/strong> and movies based on comic books are killing at the box office!\u201d<\/p>\n The<\/u><\/strong> Tagline<\/u>:<\/strong> \u201cFight Your Way to the Front.\u201d<\/p>\n The<\/u><\/strong> Overview<\/u>:<\/strong> <\/strong>Beware of Spoilers\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Snowpiecer<\/em><\/strong> is set in an apocalyptic future when the only surviving humans live on a huge train that continually speeds along a track that takes a year to circumnavigate. All plant and animal life outside the train has died due to a climate change that has left the world a frozen wasteland [Winter World<\/strong>, anyone?]<\/p>\n Those in the front cars are living the life — plenty of food, nice furnishing and clothes \u2013 the party rages on. For those in the rear, life is a struggle \u2013 they survive on a gelatinous protein rationed to them, their living quarters are cramped, and they are at the mercy of Minister Mason<\/strong> [Tilda Swinton<\/strong>] and her armed guards who sometimes come to collect an adult or some children that are never seen again. [I know, I was thinking Soylent Green<\/em><\/strong>, myself.]<\/p>\n Chris Evans<\/strong> leads a group who are determined to fight their way to the front of the train and change the social order. There are surprises [and not just who will live or die] as the group fights their way to the front. The action scenes are well done and the movie moves at good pace.<\/p>\n If you buy the premise, you\u2019ll probably enjoy the movie. I had a hard time taking things at face value because the movie took itself so seriously. The ending was supposed to be upbeat but left me hanging. I think that polar bear is in for some train treats.<\/p>\n Rating:<\/strong> Snowpiecer [2013] Director: Bong Joon-ho Screenplay: Bong Joon-ho and Kelly Masterson Starring: Chris Evans, Kang-ho Song, Ed Harris, John Hurt<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[54,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","category-z-view","comments-off"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14033"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14033\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24360,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14033\/revisions\/24360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
