I was reflecting on past films I've seen that touched upon the very essence of what humanity faces today, as well as what it has faced for thousands of years, often it being the same. A couple years ago I pirated a film called Snowpiercer, and it was the only way to see this film without paying insane bucks to get a hard copy from overseas. It may be on Netflix, but I don't have that right now.
It's an amazing look at what humanity is currently going through in stunningly brilliant allegory. Practically every scene is ripe with symbolism. I don't want to make this a novel post, so I'll put up a small rundown of the film. I recommend everyone who has a couple of hours of free time to find a way to see it. It was literally banned from public screen release here in the US. There's a reason for that. Made by a popular South Korean director, and the lead actor is Chris Evans who plays Captain America.
"Snowpiercer," based on the French graphic novel "Le Transperceneige," is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snow Piercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews."
The best analysis I've seen of the film is here. It's mostly accurate to how I interpreted it, minus my own deeper conspiratorial knowledge, which I think some here might enjoy finding for themselves:
