"Snowpiercer" - Summary

42591
Snowpiercer is based on the 1982 French graphic novel Le Transperceneige. Set in the year 2031, the movie follows the survivors of a global climate catastrophe on board a massive train that continuously circles the globe. The train, Snowpiercer, is divided into two classes: the privileged elites, who inhabit the front of the train, and the impoverished tail section, who are kept in deplorable conditions and treated like second-class citizens. Curtis Everett (Chris Evans), a leader from the tail section, leads a revolt against the elites, resulting in a violent struggle between the classes that reveals the true nature of the train’s social structure. According to Rahayu (2017), the film uses its dystopian setting to explore themes of social justice, class discrimination, and the consequences of human-caused climate change. It also highlights the importance of cooperation and solidarity among oppressed people in order to achieve a better society. The movie is a riveting exploration of the dark side of human nature, and its themes continue to remain relevant in today’s world.
