Climate Change

"Snowpiercer" - Themes

Snowpiercer is an effective way to illustrate the inescapable nature of climate change. Snowpiercer highlights the consequences of climate change, not just in the present, but also in the future. While the movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world, the film resonates with viewers because of its ability to ground the effects of climate change in everyday life. Snowpiercer represents an issue that is both global and personal, making it accessible to viewers across the globe. Additionally, Snowpiercer serves to educate viewers on the causes of climate change and the potential solutions that could be taken to mitigate it. Ultimately the film does an effective job in illustrating the inescapable nature of climate change, and that it serves as an important reminder of the severity of the issue.Another theme in Snowpiercer is the distribution of power within the train. This stark contrast between the two classes serves as a metaphor for the power dynamics that are seen in society. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that the powerful individuals are exploiting the lower class for their own gain. This is particularly relevant in the context of ecohorror themes, as the elite are shown to be using environmental destruction for their own benefit.
