We enjoyed reviewing Parasite so much that we decided to dive into another, perhaps lesser known/praised, film from the creative mind of Bong Joon Ho with his 2013 film, "Snowpiercer". This action film led by Chris Evans, in arguably his most diverse role, follows a globe circling train and its inhabitants as they cross a frozen post apocalyptic world. This film speaks to, and presents uniquely, many real world societal & class issues that we are facing today. As the tensions boil over aboard the train, a messy and emotionally driven revolutionary movement towards the engine of the train begins.Episode Marks:What We Watched Last Week (0:25)The Poll Winner...Snowpiercer (14:10)First Takes (16:10)The Premise (18:32)Highlighting Class & Social Disparity in Society (19:40)Defining a Revolution (23:50)Chris Evans' Wide Range on Display (29:19)Strong Supporting Cast (34:25)Knowing Your Place, A Commentary on Class Structure(37:20)The Train as a Symbol of Society (45:00)Capturing Life on the Train (51:31)Repression of a People Group (53:33)Wilford, Making Idols of Men (55:40)Closing Remarks & Rating (01:01:30)Music:Intro/Outro - Forgiveness by Patrick Patrikios
