Set in 2031, the entire world is frozen except for those aboard
the Snowpiercer. For 17 years, the world's survivors are on a train hurtling
around the globe creating their own economy and class system. Led by Curtis, a
group of lower-class citizens living in squalor at the back of the train are
determined to get to the front of the train and spread the wealth around. Each
section of the train holds new surprises for the group who have to battle their
way through. A revolution is underway. Written by Anne Campbell

SNOWPIERCER is directed by Bong Joon Ho, written by Kelly
Masterson, and produced by Miky Lee and Steven Nam. To be honest I had seen
this film twice, in my first viewing the action of the story enthralled me as well
as its offbeat humor in a story where a character fights his way to uncover
truth I thought was great. In my second viewing I focused more on trying to
uncover what was the meaning of the film in this bleak look of the future.
There was definite talk about classicism and how each class has its place,
which reflected the reality we live in today. This was indeed a cerebral film
yet at the same time it held my interest throughout even when I was just
looking to be entertained. So for SNOWPIERCER I give it 4 stars.
