Train is Going in Circles For 17 Years And If it Stops, it's The End of Humanity

An experiment to fix global warming fails and causes a new ice age, forcing the few surviving humans to live in a special train where each car represents a class.

Liberals don't realize polar bears aren't snuggly scaredy cats. A polar bear will walk right up to you, slowly, and begin gnawing at you with the pace a cat lazily grooms itself. They won't roar, they won't posture, they will just silently walk up to you and begin chomping away.

Fun facts: This movie was directed and written by Bong Joon Ho, the same guy who wrote and directed the Oscar winning film, Parasite. Also the actor who played Nam is the South Korean actor Song Kang Ho, who played the dad of the poor family in Parasite. The director eally likes to make movies about socioeconomic disparities.

I think The Train is specifically an allegory for North Korea. The director and writer of the movie is from South Korea. The ending of the movie is bleak, because its showing what would happen if you just suddenly destroy the government/social system of North Korea. Most of he people there would probably freeze and/or starve. It's a dilemma that the people of South Korea are very familiar with, having lived with it their whole lives.

[@Mike__B]

I forget why they had to keep going on the train, I mean if they made a perpetual motion engine (or whatever) you'd think they could use that to power a heater inside a big dome or something where people can live. Bottom line is they're using all this energy to move a train, which really isn't doing much of anything.

[@potatos0]

why would the leader do that when he has everything he wants

[@youteacher78]

I always found the premise of this movie very far fetched. I work with trains and those things need maintenance at least every 80.000 km. Wheels, bearings, not to mention the tracks and switches that suffer greatly with the cold. Also as said above, why not just turn the motion in to heat and stay put? It just doesn't make any sense.

[@earth2k66]

@@youteacher78 Why not just move near the equator and live a normal life? 💀 The original route even avoids South India, Arabia, and the Sahara. The train mostly tracks around the North Pole and follows coastal regions. Which are supposed to be cold. The whole train is running on propaganda.

[@pavelourednik6737]

The movement of the train powers the perpetual engine, whitch then creates energy to boost the train AND power the cars. If the train stops, the engine won't have enough kinetic energy to create power. So basicaly, without movement the engine would not create any power.

[@helgeschneider4417]

The ending always felt kind of stupid to me. Sure, the infrastructure and buildings of the old world are all still there, but the train crashed somewhere in a mountain range, far away from the remnants of civilization and we learn in the beginning that a short amount of time is enough to not just cause deadly hypothermia but actually turn you into a human popsicle. They could stay inside the wrecked train, but without the engine there is no power, so the temperature will eventually sink to a deadly level as well. The food is also ruined from the crash, all of the animals are probably dead. Though at least refrigeration won't be a very big problem.

[@beyond6storm]

My biggest gripe with concepts like these is that they severely discount human ingenuity. A fucking train?! Remaining on the surface?! Are you shitting me? Dig, motherfucker, dig and eventually you'll run into enough geothermal heat to cook without a fire. Not to mention that a severe cooling of the planet would instantly become a free pass to reheat it like crazy using fossil fuels, and, if all else fails, as long as the sun still shine, all you need is a couple meters of styrofoam insulation around a solar oven and you can harvest enough heat from the sun to create a perfectly cozy inside space. Jesus fucking christ this shit annoys me. Part of the movie's premise needs to be the idea that all engineers also somehow instantly perished.

Psychological manipulation is an ugly and effective thing. The sole example I'll point to is this: Sticking an arm out and holding it there in a vehicle going VERY fast in an icy environment...
