The Snowpierce by bong Joon-ho. In this movie we can see a society that
struggles for change, the government's scenery is hard because it is
strict, authoritative, and controlled. the train is a new world for all people
that enter when the world changes. the social class is different in some
parts of the train, for example in the tail there are poor people, in the
middle exists the third class and in the head lives Mr. Wilson. life on the
train is hard the different classes of people make all more danger it film
shows how people fight to survive. the movie makes emphasis always in
the classes and Mr. Wilford's control all too but it shows that exist
comfortable things for the third class, for example, hospitals, food,
entertainment, prison, job, and school. but we can see that to tail people
the food is restricted and they controlled his birth.
