We see the director in the film say that love equals happiness and he was forced to choose between happiness and unhappiness, but from what we've seen throughout the film is this true or is there any truth to this?#smc355
at around 1:26 we see the main character say she has a "destructive side", do we see this attitude or characteristic anywhere throughout the film with her interaction with other characters or the way she describes herself?#smc355
At 1:30:40 We see the director in the film say he is "not normal" but in the context of the film what is normal? because we see each character have their various issues or things they either deal with or fight against?#smc355
@Roryyy_A This confused me because after this I started to question not only the timeline of what was happening when in the movie, but also what was real and what was not because we see this guy pop up at various times before and this makes me think he has more importance.
@VoskampGav28593 This made the film very confusing for me personally because it was not nly hard to follow the story line but also had me confused on the way various characters interact with eacthother.
Around 1:18 when hes talking to his wife, she mentions that he as a detective needs murders to function properly, do you think this is true about his lifestyle and if so how does he display this?#smc355
I found it interesting around 51: 30 when she's destroying evidence she makes it seem as if shes helpful but something I noticed is that she slips in the photos of her first husbands death, do you think this was on purpose or she was had good intentions?@smc355
We se around 1:49 and around 1:35 that seo-rae constantly lies about the murder and laughs during the interrogation, why do you believe she did this and choose to display her emotions in this way?#smc355
@Roryyy_A I also noticed this because it happened so often and I believe it was even emhpaized sometimes to show that even through the tension between the two characters we still see something holding them back their, marriages
@EmmaOwen27 I found this interesting as well because we see him connecting to not only seo-rae but his wife through his food and we see how he puts a lot of effort into what he cooks but towards the end the food or quality of food is cheaper and I believe this is an internal representation
at 1:06 we see that only gang-do wait to check on his father while his siblings leave and run a way without looking back, what do you think this said about his relationship with his father versus his siblings? #smc355
One thing I noticed is how we see Americans as either brave in the film like at 15:30 and how the scientists conforms that theres no virus either, do you think this was done for a reason? #smc355
One thing I found interesting is Nam-jo has a common theme of being late and we see this mentioned earlier in the film we also see this as a disadvantage throughout the film, yet we see that this trait of her allows her to deliver the final blow which was perfectly timed #smc355
@Roryyy_A I also thought about this when the Nam-il went about it differently and how he used his resources and knowledge to try and find her using her cellphone call
@jadeincinema I found this interesting because it showed not only the dynamic between each of them, but how they were perceived to the those around them and how the publics first reaction was to take pictures and no one really said anything
After watching the entire film, at 53:40 we see Curtis choose vengeance over his friend, how does this speak about Curtin and his determination to kill someone he dosent know, rather than help someone hes known for years?#smc355
at around 28 minutes the use of cutting the noise in and out and having it intertwine into the music helped intensify the scene a lot and this with the added use of various shorter shots also added to the suspense
Something I found interesting is how at around 8 minutes we see curtis talking to the little kid and he says "whole wide train" instead of whole wide world, because this is all he knows and this makes me thing of generation poverty and how its all a lot of children know. #smc355
@EmmaOwen27 I also noticed this and it seemed that only people in the middle cars had a lot of extravagent color because they were oblivious to what really happens on the train and were probably living the best lives because they didnt know what was happening
@EmmaOwen27 I also found this interesting since we see the train car as a representation of the whole world and this is a true narrative we see children being fed, but we also see that the rest of the train is brainwashed in various ways and while its obvious to us, its not to them
