By: debbie lynn elias<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adapted for the screen by Kelly Masterson and Bong Joon-Ho from the French graphic novel \u201cLe Transpercenegie\u201d and directed by Bong Joon-Ho, SNOWPIERCER is a post-apocalyptic thriller.\u00a0 Earth is frozen beyond being capable of sustaining any life but thanks to the genius of one man, a rattling, clattering super-train now carries not only the last survivors of the human race, but life itself, endlessly circling the planet, just waiting for the day when the world will thaw and man can once again reclaim and rebuild the Earth.\u00a0\u00a0 (By the way, man has no one to blame but himself for this New Ice Age as it came about thanks to an experiment to combat global warming gone awry.)<\/p>\n

Implementing a class system within the physical structure of the train, delineating the \u201chaves\u201d from the \u201chave-nots\u201d, Director Bong delivers an electrifying, Oscar-worthy, visual stunner that will have you on the edge of your seat, fraught with white-knuckle tension, excitement and heart pounding action.\u00a0 As equally, if not more powerful as the than the film\u2019s visuals however, is the underlying environmental, socio-political and geopolitical subtext and tacit commentary.\u00a0 Boasting an Oscar caliber and winning cast, among them, Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell, John Hurt and one of the world\u2019s favorite super-heroes, Chris Evans, SNOWPIERCER pierces the senses with Oscar-worthy stylization and performances while opening the eyes to a clarity of thought about the world around us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

As the train and its inhabitants mark the 17th year of this unending circuitous circle of life, an uprising by the \u201chave nots\u201d who inhabit the windowless slum in the tail section of the train, looms.\u00a0 Curtis, a quiet, head down yet always vigilant and aware kind of guy, has been planning and preparing for a siege that will move him and others forward through the 26 train cars to the engine and the man who has everything and commands everything – Wilford.\u00a0\u00a0 It is Wilford who designed the train, runs the train, classified the inhabitants, decides on who gets to eat and who doesn\u2019t. . .you get the picture.\u00a0 His right hand man is Mason, a Coke-bottle bespectacled St. John suited woman with a grotesque over-bite.\u00a0 Mason is the liaison between Wilford and \u201chis people\u201d.\u00a0 Mason is also the one who periodically comes and takes young children from the tail car, for what purpose no one knows.\u00a0 What they do know is the children never return.<\/p>\n

Incited by little messages that are found in capsules placed in black agar food bars, Curtis along with his best friend Edgar and under the sage guidance of the \u201chave nots\u201d elder Gilliam, is ready to put their long conceived plan into action.\u00a0 The time is now.\u00a0 It\u2019s full speed ahead to the engine and Wilford.<\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As Curtis, Chris Evans – as he did for Danny Boyle with “Sunshine” and as he has done multiple times as “Captain America” – is tacit strength; a thinking man that speaks with his eyes more than his vocal chords.\u00a0 The design of Curtis is mysterious and foreboding.\u00a0 Cloaked in dirt and darkness, hat pulled low onto his face, often shielding direct eye contact but for a few, and then staring down guards when necessary, Evans goes one better with stance and posture; hunched over when seemingly submissive or furtive; proud, erect with wide open expansive arms when leading, fighting, protecting.\u00a0\u00a0 Evans needs no Marvel shield to be marvelous in SNOWPIERCER.<\/p>\n

Jamie Bell turns in an unexpectedly fun performance making Edgar an indispensable snarky sidekick.\u00a0 Bell is a standout.\u00a0 This skinny blonde Englishman amongst all the dirt and grime; he is fun, engaging and serves as a loose emotional cannon that you can’t help but adore.<\/p>\n

\"SNOWPIERCER_1\"<\/p>\n

Tilda Swinton calling Oscar! Tilda Swinton calling Oscar!\u00a0 Absolutely delicious as Minister Mason.\u00a0\u00a0 What sets out this performance even in her vast repertoire and not just within this film, is Mason’s belief in her own superiority and privilege and that of Wilford and his teachings.\u00a0 Very\u00a0 Chairman Mao with marvelous societal commentary lurking beneath the surface containing a powerful undertow and riptide through Mason.\u00a0 And Swinton just soars with it making Mason larger than life.\u00a0 Originally written as a male character, Swinton and Director Bong flipped the role on its ear and, as Swinton puts it, \u201cbuilt up a clown.\u00a0 I wanted to make a clown out of this politician who is this really sinister, corrupt individual.\u00a0 Apart from the fact that I think there are so many wonderfully corrupt clowns in cinema, from Dr. Strangelove to The Great Dictator, in life, you switch on the news and there will be someone posturing and making an idiot of themselves.\u00a0 People vote them in because they want a soap opera.\u00a0 So, that was really the key.\u00a0 We tried to push it as far as we could.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 And they did.\u00a0\u00a0 From \u201cfantastic pendulist breasts\u201d to \u201cthe wig that we never glued down\u201d to the hilarity of false teeth, \u201c[it was all] just part of the package.\u201d\u00a0 Perhaps Swinton\u2019s favorite part of creating Mason was the nose.\u00a0 \u201cI always wanted to play a character with a nose.\u201d\u00a0 While discussing the character with Director Bong, \u201c I went and got some tape, and we taped my nose up like [indicating a pig nose].\u201d\u00a0 Swinton was so convincing and the script so well conceived it even made me think that\u00a0 perhaps there was no Wilford, that Mason was in charge.\u00a0 Brilliant fun!<\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

And then there’s Ed Harris.\u00a0 Almost no one does commanding arrogance grandstanding of “I am right and I am a God” while adding a touch of self-deprecating humor better than Harris.\u00a0\u00a0 As Wilford, he raises one’s ire so quickly and so effectively, you feel like you want to reach into the screen and rip his throat out.\u00a0 But then he tames you and rationalizes what he has done and while reprehensible, it makes sense on a global scale for survival (not to mention putting a face to centuries of societies with the same ideology and dogmas).\u00a0\u00a0 As with Swinton, it was a no-brainer to come onboard SNOWPIERCER.\u00a0 \u201cI would have played any role, if he\u2019d asked me, just because I really appreciated his work.\u00a0 But the fact that he wanted me to play this guy who\u2019s talked about through the whole film, and who\u2019s the \u2018Wizard of Oz\u2019 behind a curtain, had some attraction to me. . . It\u2019s so built up, who this guy is, and then he\u2019s just this old guy making dinner with his robe on.\u00a0 Director Bong really wanted him to be matter of fact and mundane and simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

One can’t help but relate to Octavia Spencer’s Tanya (damn, she kicked ass – literally and figuratively) both in seeing the tenderness and the love she brings as a mother, but also as a strong powerful confident “can-do” woman and Black woman (although Director Bong and Kelly Masterson went a tad stereotypical with Tanya’s design).\u00a0 Spencer’s emotion comes from within with a defiance and strength is palpable and cheer worthy.<\/p>\n

As comes as no surprise, there is more than meets the eye when it comes to John Hurt and his take on Gilliam.\u00a0 Hurt plays Gilliam so that we never quite know which way the wind will swing with him.\u00a0 Only little tidbits are elicited throughout the film through dialogue, although most telling that Gilliam is not who he seems is the red flag that goes up when acknowledged by Mason with such familiarity.\u00a0\u00a0 There’s a history there.\u00a0 We just don’t know what it is.\u00a0\u00a0 And then when all the puzzle pieces come together in the climactic 15 minutes once Ed Harris appears – mind-boggling and mind-bending.<\/p>\n

Often overlooked in films is Tomas Lemarquis.\u00a0 He is so good at being bad and here as Egg-Head is malevolence personified but with a matter of fact casualness.\u00a0 Deliciously tongue-in-cheek is a key scene in which he\u2019s passing out New Year\u2019s eggs – and AK47s.<\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

Now working with Director Bong for the second time after her debut in \u201cThe Host\u201d, Ah-sung Ho is enchanting as Yona.\u00a0 Wide-eyed wonder and alleged clairvoyance…although the script falls a bit flat there and never explains why her “visions” only sometimes work.\u00a0\u00a0 Also re-teaming with Ah-Sung Ho and Director Bong is Song Kang-Ho who, as he did in \u201cThe Host\u201d, plays father to Ah-Sung Ho.\u00a0\u00a0 As Namgoong Minsu, Song Kang-Ho navigates the line of appearing a drugged out yet caring father (or not) while still retaining skills as the security expert who created the train\u2019s intra-carriage protective doors.\u00a0 Clark Middleton’s work as The Painter is particularly noteworthy.\u00a0 Observational, The Painter\u2019s drawings are essentially the newspaper of the tail cars, metaphorically harkening to cave paintings, i.e., dawn of man and now the re-dawn of man.\u00a0 Middleton gives Painter a nervous edgy quality as if a reporter on a stakeout, feverishly trying to get a story before being caught and stopped, making great use of his eyes with up and down and peripheral movement, often in tandem with his drawing hand.\u00a0 Extremely powerful character and performance.<\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

A beautifully told metaphor for our world, on many levels SNOWPIERCER serves as a cautionary tale.\u00a0 Masterson and Director Bong construct a societal structure within the confines of the “rattling train”, speaking volumes as to the world as a whole while Wilford and his personal beliefs and dogmas speaks to world leaders like Mao, Hitler, Stalin, and even today’s political systems with uprisings and volatility – and manufactured situations.\u00a0 However, the whole idea of little red notes in little shell casings stuck in agar bars stuck out to me like a sore thumb as being more than meets the eye and rather cliche but, as a plot device for the \u201chave nots\u201d, the notes serve as messages of hope as opposed to destructive horror.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The idea of the train, frozen world and even the metaphor of the word “Snowpiercer”\u00a0 warms the soul blending end of the world elements of Noah and his ark, \u201c2012″ and its climate shifting tidal waves with select people placed on floating arks, and the world frozen over in “Day After Tomorrow” – visuals meet history meet theology meet politics meet science.<\/p>\n

Although based on the graphic novel, Director Bong notes \u201cthe key ideas are there, such as the survivors on a moving train.\u00a0 Also visually, there are some things, like the greenhouse, that is in the original comic book.\u00a0 But in terms of design and visuals, my art team and production design team pretty much created the world of SNOWPIERCER.\u201d\u00a0 And what a world it is!<\/p>\n

\"SNOWPIERCER_8\"<\/p>\n

A visualist if ever there was, Director Bong described the process of designing SNOWPIERCER.\u00a0 \u201cWe designed and built 26 different train cars [650 meters in total length], but because we had a limited budget, we had to plan ahead and use everything that we shot.\u00a0 But if you look at it on a bigger scale [for example], you can take the greenhouse section and the water section of the train, and divide it in two. . .you get to the greenhouse, and after that, you see the aquarium and the swimming pool, and you see where all of the rich people live.\u00a0 It is one train, but you see two different worlds inside of it.\u00a0 And then, at the very front is the engine.\u00a0 The design of the engine is different from the comic book.\u201d<\/p>\n

Given the physical set and that the entire film takes place in a train and not against a green screen, movement is a necessity to create that sensory experience which called on extensive use of a gimbal to rock and roll the train cars.\u00a0 As Ah-sung Ho told me, \u201cThe hardest part of filming was not vomiting from motion sickness.\u201d\u00a0 Even Director Bong admits, \u201cSometimes we felt carsick on set.\u00a0 You really feel the effect of the gimbal in the beginning of the film, where you see Tilda [Swinton] make her speech.\u00a0 When she is doing the speech with the shoe, you can see down the tail section people and the movement.\u00a0 On set, I really felt like I was inside of a train.\u00a0 Also, there are no windows in the tail section, so the gimbal is really important.\u00a0 The sections with the windows, you can see the outside environment passing.\u00a0 But in the tail section, there are no windows, so the gimbal was essential to give that feeling of a train.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"snowpiercer<\/p>\n

Can we just scream Oscar nomination for Ondrej Nekvasil\u2019s production design and Kyung-Pyo Hong’s cinematography! SNOWPIERCER may well be the visual effects film of the year.\u00a0 Nekvasil\u2019s work stuns.\u00a0 Breathtaking.\u00a0 Lush.\u00a0 Richly textured.\u00a0\u00a0 The increasing use of color and architectural detail and richness in woods, upholstery, fabrications and furnishings is eye-popping yet methodical and calculated as if designed to not assault the sense all at once.\u00a0 Quite interesting story design in that regard.\u00a0\u00a0 I am so appreciative of the meticulous design detail throughout.\u00a0 There are layers of grime and dirt in the tail cars.\u00a0 Nuance of shadow playing on dirty steel framed bunk beds, raggedy clothes, a golden glimmer of a worn faded dirty lamp shade in the tail cars that Kyung-Pyo Hong just celebrates with his lighting and lensing, moving into an almost steam punk golden hued look and then seguewaying into slick sleek stainless when it comes to the underpinnings and mechanics of the technical aspects of the train.\u00a0\u00a0 The graduating increasing use of color and texture captivates the sense, starting with the eye, but then thanks to costuming like parkas, and steam rising from heated pools and saunas, the viewing experience becomes fully sensory, tantalizing, teasing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The 360 design of hydroponic gardens and the aquarium are not only beautiful, but with the cool rich tropical blue of the aquarium, heart-stoppingly wondrous.\u00a0 The production values on SNOWPIERCER with the slick sleek gloss are as close to perfect as I\u2019ve seen this year.<\/p>\n

For Ed Harris, himself a director, when it comes to the nuts and bolts of directing, \u201cThe most interesting thing was the style of filming. . .If I was doing a scene and it was a couple pages long, he would never shoot the whole thing one way.\u00a0 He\u2019d shoot a few lines, like the first beat of the scene, and then he would turn the camera around and get my part for that part of the scene.\u00a0 Then, he would change the angle a little bit. . .He was basically cutting while he was shooting.\u00a0 The editor was sitting right there on the stage, right below the set with a big tent, actually getting the footage as they were filming.\u00a0 Director Bong cuts while he\u2019s filming, in a way.\u00a0 He\u2019s very precise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SP<\/p>\n

One shortcoming of SNOWPIERCER is an ending that doesn’t live up to the 90+ minutes that precede it.\u00a0 The story is so engrossing and the characters so intense – and human – we feel their plight.\u00a0 The film’s construct and direction has us so invested in each of these characters that we care, we ache, we hurt, we cheer inside – and yes, at times even laugh and seethe at the comical absurdity encapsulated within Tilda Swinton’s Oscar-worthy performance as Mason – all so much so that as the siege reigns on and our heroes advance ever-forward toward the engine, certain events occur that make the audience feel cheated.\u00a0 The final scene of the movie – which I will not divulge or spoil for you – creates an unspoken and unsatisfying ambiguity that still gnaws at me a month after screening.<\/p>\n

Under almost microscopic examination, layered with political allegory, infused with philosophical reflection and the economic, environmental, societal and moral collapse of an arrogant mankind, all encapsulated within a fully-realized world of 650 linear meters, SNOWPIERCER is a riveting ride.<\/p>\n
