Critique Paper of “Train To Busan”

I’ve been watching this movie “Train to Busan. Actually it was
one of my favourite Korean zombie movie. Train to
Busan (Korean: 부산행; Hanja: 釜山行; RR: Busanhaeng; lit. T
o Busan) is a 2016 South Korean action horror film[4] directed
by Yeon Sang-ho, Written by Park Joo-suk , and Produced by
Lee Dong-ha.

 The film mostly takes place on a high-speed

train from Seoul to Busan as a zombie apocalypse suddenly
breaks out in the country and threatens the safety of the
passengers. It was released on 20th week on July 2016. The
first Korean film of 2016 to break the audience record of over
10 million theatergoers. It was cast by Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-
mi, Ma Dong-seok, Kim Su-an, Choi Woo-shik, Ahn So-hee,
Kim Eui-sung, Choi Gwi-hwa, Jang Hyuk-jin,  Park Myung,
Ye Soo-jung, Jeong Seok-yong, Han Seong-soo, Kim
Chang-hwan, Shim Eun-kyung,and Lee Joo-shil.
While a zombie virus breaks out in South Korea, passengers
struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan.
Sok-woo, a father with not much time for his daughter, Soo-ahn,
are boarding the KTX, a fast train that shall bring them from
Seoul to Busan. But during their journey, the apocalypse begins,
and most of the earth's population become flesh craving
zombies. While the KTX is shooting towards Busan, the
passenger's fight for their families and lives against the zombies
- and each other.

Life-or-death survival in train bound to Busan. A divorced man,

Seok-woo is always caught up at work, leaving him no time to
spare with his daughter Su-an. He offers to take her on the train
to see her mother in Busan. As the train departs, an abnormal
virus spreads from a girl who is infected, and people start to
transform to zombies. Will Seok-woo and Su-an make it out
alive? TRAIN TO BUSAN is director YEON Sang-ho's debut
feature film, who is loved by Cannes with his edgy animation.

TRAIN TO BUSAN is a harrowing zombie horror-thriller that

follows a group of terrified passengers fighting their way
through a countrywide viral outbreak while trapped on a
suspicion-filled, blood-drenched bullet train ride to Busan, a
southern resort city that has managed to hold off the zombie
hordes... or so everyone hopes.

The investment manager Seok-woo is a divorced man that lives

in Seoul, with his daughter, Soo-an, and his mother. Seok-woo is
a selfish man and neglects Soo-an, who misses her mother that
lives in Busan. On Soo-an's birthday, she asks to visit her
mother, and Seok-woo travels with her with the intention of
returning after lunch. They board the fast train KTX, but a sick
woman also boards another car. During the journey, the woman
attacks a member of the train staff and soon all the passengers in
the car are attacked, turning into zombies. Seok-woo realizes
that there is a zombie outbreak in South Korea, and together
with the passenger Sang-hwa, who is traveling with his pregnant
wife Seong-kyeong, they isolate the safe front cars from the
infected ones. Along their journey, the non-infected passengers
have to fight the zombies and the selfishness of their fellow
human beings.

Reluctantly, the divorced father and workaholic hedge-fund

manager, Seok-woo, boards the hyper-fast KTX bullet-train
from Seoul to Busan accompanied by his estranged young
daughter, Su-an, to visit her mother. However, against the
backdrop of an unprecedented threat in the shape of a virulent
zombie outbreak, a grotesque undead stowaway will soon
enmesh both passengers and train crew in a frenzied battle for
survival, as one compartment after another succumbs under the
sheer volume of the freshly infected flesh-eaters. Suddenly,
amid this unrelenting miniature hell on earth, hope seems to lie
in the train's final destination; nevertheless, can the few
remaining survivors fight to stay alive to the bitter end?

A mysterious viral outbreak pushes Korea into a state of

emergency. As an unidentified virus sweeps the country, Korean
government declares martial law. Those on an express train to
Busan, a city that has successfully fended off the viral outbreak,
must fight for their own survival. 453km from Seoul to Busan -
the struggle to survive by those who have others to protect.

Seok-woo pleads Seong-kyeong to take care of his daughter and

commits suicide by falling off the train to prevent others from
getting bitten by him. Finally, there are two survivors at the
end of the blocked tunnel who walk through it and are
spotted by soldiers.
