The death of In-Gil and Jon-Gil is actually really symbolic, representing the two polarizing mindsets that the elderly have towards the younger generations. One is cynical, one is hopeful. In the chaos of civilization falling, it was ironically the hopeful one of the two elders that gave up on the state of society, giving her own life willingly. Jon-Gil, being the cynical one, acknowledges and scoffs at how messed up things are because her optimistic sister gave up before she did. The already cynical person goes out with a spiteful move that ruined it for everyone.

[@crayblox1154]

Sheesh that’s depressing that the optimist died first

I love that this movie takes the time to develop side characters that can be dissected beyond their short screentime. Korean films really got my hyped

[@robs7163]

Yon-suk is such a great antagonist in this film because he’s essentially what Seok-woo would have become. At the start of the movie Seok-woo is friendly with Yon-suk and looks down on ‘lower class’ characters like Sang-hwa and the homeless man. It’s seeing Yon-suk throw everyone else under the bus while other characters risk their lives to look out for one another that drives Seok-woo’s character development.

[@jichansol]

Very well said 👏👏👏

[@dominiquesnijders2655]

Yeah he's very well-handled, and it's only fitting that Yon-suk was the "final boss" of the movie and the last step in Seok-woo's character arc. So well-written!

Reading the other day that Romero thought, towards the end of his life, that he'd amounted to nothing (In not so many words) makes it heartbreaking when watching Train to Busan. Yeon Sang-ho took the best lessons from his body of work and made something pretty special: a Romero-esque that feels like it was made by the man himself. The train definitely feels like a character in the same way the farmhouse in NOTLD or the mall in DOTD do.

[@doritomountain7926]

@Mr Peashooter that still doesnt explain it

[@cedbanani]

That depends on the situation. Maybe the soldiers did kill some zombies, but they were overrun by a zombie horde. Meanwhile, one man could be in a position where he is able to kill 6 zombies. Anything can happen in a zombie outbreak.

[@k.v.7681]

@@lilboicoen 160k people die in the world every single day. TWD thing about the virus was that everybody was infected, and turned when they died, regardless of cause. By the time isolated locations (hospital morgues, retirement homes, car crashes on crowded roads) realise "zombies" are afoot, and the appropriate response is sent, soldiers are already facing hordes. That's not even considering the paper-pushers and politicians involved, as well as our general impulse to be decent to fellow people (humans are the only animal species to seek sick fellow humans to take care of them), all of which would hurt the efficiency of soldiers. Your average army boy would not be ok with the idea of torching friends and families in a scorched earth policy, the only thing that might work.

[@royalmaniac5774]

From what I saw on a comment for that scene in a diff YT vid, S Korean soldiers are generally conscripted youths who are only in the military bc it’s mandatory to serve two years in it. Bc of that, it makes sense they were taken out so easily, as they were both underprepared and only there in the first place cause of legal reasons. They said it might be a commentary on either the state of the S Korean military, or maybe on the ineffectiveness of the draft law.

And they have a bit more emotion methinks. I’m not saying that Western zombie movies can’t make you choke up, but I really REALLY appreciated the fact that Train to Busan spent as much time developing the characters and their plights as it did with the zombies. It made those sacrifices hit all the more harder and actually had me crying near the end.

Seokwoo's death scene is devastating. His character arc is him going from a selfish man unwilling to help others and ends with him getting bit because he was protecting other people, and he makes the final sacrifice of separating from his daughter to spare her and Yumi from his zombie form.

14:51 "Animated films are films too, ya know?" THANK YOU!! It seems that, much like horror films, people don't really respect animations. It can be really seen with a lot of awards, but I think it was most apparent when the Oscars pretty much decided to create a whole new category for animated films after Beauty and the Beast almost won best picture. I mean, it's easier to create a whole new category, than to simply acknowledge that a "cartoon" can sometimes be better than "normal movies", right? It's really nice to know that James also appreciates and respects animation.

Saying "I love you" in asian culture is not a common thing between parents and their children. Asians mainly show their love and affection towards each other through actions because as they say "actions speak louder than words". Parents show their love by giving their children gifts, spending time with them, etc and in return, children show their appreciation by studying hard, giving respect, and lot more. So yes, its a cultural thing

In-Gil wasn't only just too slow, she sacrificed herself because she knew she was a burden to the other survivors. She was a caring and compassionate old lady, as shown with how kind she was to her sister and Su-An. It was also why her sister was so angry about her death while looking at the other survivors try to abandon the people her sister died for.

The old lady sister who “didn’t make it” actually intentionally let herself get taken. Not for a sacrificial reasoning but more because it shows her looking at how these fellow living people have basically condemned them to die and she decides right then and there that she’d rather die then “live” with people like that. It’s why it shows her just standing there and shaking her head. You could also argue that the couple seconds it takes the zombies to push her down gave the people just enough time to make it into the train car with the rest.

I'm assuming you picked 14+ because you're that age or around it (give or take a couple of years) and I hate to break it to you but even 14 year olds are still considered children and are apt to say and do things that, while considered on purpose, can be tied to the fact that they're still young and developing. Your brain doesn't stop developing until you're around 25 years old. When people pick specific ages, I assume that they're around that age and are going off of their personal experiences because 14 isn't much different from 15 and 16 or 12 and 13. I said some hurtful things to my parents when I was a teenager and I can't say that they always did a great job raising me. But now, I have a great relationship with my parents. I've long since grown up and left the house and they've had time to reflect on the choices they made and how they raised me, as have I. Teenagers sometimes have it rough with friends, parents or close relationships because they're still learning and developing and that development doesn't stop until well into adulthood.

I love how there isn’t a dumb character. They act either logically or emotionally. The pregnant woman using the newspaper to block the z-words, the woman giving up her life because her sister died and wished vengeance upon the people who killed her, and characters wrapping their arms in padding to protect against bites, all show actual people who use their brains rather than just z-word fodder.

The fact that the movie ends with the young child singing Aloha Oe to me is so very sad in a way that brings me to tears. The song was by Liliʻuokalani the Queen of Hawaii and she made this song as Hawaii was being annexed and taken over by America. This is also the song Nani sings to Lilo when CPS is going to take her away. This song is very tragic to me and is honestly heartbreaking.

[@mochilover3989]

Neither Seokwoo nor his daughter say “I love you” because 1. Yes, it is a cultural thing. Many Asian cultures don’t believe saying “I love you” is the one true way to tell someone you love them. Which leads into the second reason: 2. Seokwoo already has done everything to show how much he loves his daughter. Verbalizing “I love you” simply doesn’t feel necessary. Anyway, thank you for the amazing work, James. I love how you pay homage to the movie as both a work of art and a medium of cultural and societal values.

In SK its actually pretty normal to live with your parents longer.
