Snowpiercer (2013)
Hate it or love it
The underdog's on top, according to Fiddy but not so much in this movie
Let's get crackin' shall we
The movies is set in a very near future second ice age, after the discovery of a chemical thought to decrease the rising temperatures of planet earth, went horribly wrong - Leaving our planet freezing with no chance of living life The surviving remainder of mankind are situated on a train said to run forever (Invented by a wealthy man before the freeze)
On this train, a strict hierarchy exists with the oppressed people of the lower class situated in the tail of the train, while the more privileged of people are living in the front cars of the train.
A not-so-surprisingly uprising of a class revolution is in the works at the overcrowded and poor back of the train and with that, the litteral walk through the social classes begin As the oppressed revolutionaries are moving closer and closer to the coveted front cars of the train, some weird things happen and a lot of plot holes unfolds
I'm usually a sucker for the sheer thought off class-warfare depicted in a movie, however this one seem wrapped in pure weirdness, plot holes and what can only be described as excessive BS we are somehow expected to buy into But don't just take my word for it, I brought receipts
Exhibit A) Located dangerously close to the engine is what appears to be a rave car. A rave is going on with rancid people doing drugs referred to twice in the movie, as being "Highly flammable" So yeah next to the engine room (And strangely also a sauna) a rave is going on with people doing potentially flammable drugs
Exhibit B) Small children are being used to do manual labour on the engine - Why was the engine only built to fit small people?
Exhibit C) At one point a bunch of bloody bruised and beaten-up people enter the school car and just about none of the kids have a reaction to this
Exhibit D) The low-class people are being fed protein bars made of disgusting bugs - Where are those being manufactured and where are the bugs kept?
Frankly, I could go on and on - But, the thing is there is just too many plot-holes and next to no character development And what's worse I had no compassion for any character Amazingly this have a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, so you might just enjoy this movie thoroughly though
Take away my bad attitude towards pointless and excessive violence and stupidity, I'm actually a glass-half-full type of woman, so I give it a 3 for its somewhat classic and heroic class-war theme with an utter lack of depth or even sensibility
Master of None (2015)
Beautifully made rom-com
Master of none feels fresh, classy and down to earth but without the bore
The fact that there is an entire episode shown in b/w while paying a contemporary homage to a classic Italian movie, is making me savor every last minute of this elegant yet cozy joint.
Oh and the episode about New York got me real excited as Iv'e simply never seen anything like that before.
I feel pretty confident in saying that if you enjoyed the first season you will really like the second as well
