If you haven't seen "Snowpiercer" do so

No spoilers, don't even go look up cast or plot details as this movie should be watched in a vacuum.

It is a phenomenal allegory for mankind's hubris, the rigid division between haves and have-nots and the quest for survival when there is literally no point in living.

It is in theaters or available for rental on video on demand. One of the best movies in years.

1. Would you smoke the very last factory made cig on Earth if you had the option to?

Interesting 'what if', but at the same time merely an aside, a tiny sub-plot.

I thought it was a good flick, too.

2. currently showing at our local indie theater

we have passed on it so far because the trailers were so lame

I will take a look at the schedule again

3. I thought it was decent for the budget.

They wrapped it up fairly quick though and the class system wasn't fully explored to my taste.

4. The swiftness and brutality was a selling point for me

The whole idea that a revolution could simmer for so long, but it then had to happen fast due to being on a train made a lot of sense to me. I like that the audience only caught the same tantalizing glimpses of first class as did the tail-enders. It made the story so much more immediate then if the director spent time world building the different cars of the train.

5. This is true.

Their behavior as they broke through each new car was more and more believable, they had to get to the front, because it was a terrible spectacle, and all their illusions, from living years in squalor, eating processed cubes, were being ripped away in front of their very eyes.

6. Its worth watching on tv, but I recommend watching it with low expectations.

7. I agree, wonderful film. However, I'm totally saying Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris and John Hurt are in

it. I also do not agree that the story is about people when there is literally no point in living and would say it is about people under a delusion that life is unlivable outside a conformist structure.

8. Sure, delusion is agreeable

To them, existence is the point of existence--no one on the train, including those in the front, know differently.

9. It was too literal for me.
