The Seven Deadly Sins of the Snowpiercer...

This Is An Important Snowpiercer PSA

Okay, so let me settle this once and for all because it ticks me off so much when I go to the "Snowpiercer" tag on Tumblr and I read comments like THESE: "Oh, Snowpiercer is amazing but it was just basically The Hunger Games on a train..." OKAY CUNT, YOU WEREN'T PAYING FUCKING ATTENTION. For the record, the film is based on a series of FRENCH GRAPHIC NOVELS called "Le Transperceneige" conceived way back in 1982 and obviously PREDATING "The Hunger Games" which debuted in 2008, and even the acclaimed Japanese novel, "Battle Royale" in 1999, from which THG is often compared to and accused of being a total rip-off. So you ignorant fuckers better not make that damn comparison because basically "Snowpiercer" is the film that the "The Hunger Games" franchise WISHES it was, and it's all in just ONE SINGLE MOVIE. Now, I love the THG universe as much as the next Tribute, but let's not go as far to compare the world of Katniss Everdeen with the world of Curtis Everett, okay? They may be two reluctant protagonists fighting an oppressive regime of the privileged powers that be, but that is basically where their similarities end because they both have different character arcs that are unique to their respective worlds. Also, the Korean director who helmed "Snowpiercer" took the ENTIRE source material comprising THREE SEPARATE BOOKS and brilliantly compressed and distilled the themes and references of "Le Transperceneige" into just ONE FILM ADAPTATION that was carefully constructed with care and extreme attention to detail as opposed to hashing out several individual movies clearly generated simply for profit at the expense of thirsty niche audiences obsessed with a specific fictional universe (I'm side-eyeing you so hard, Twatlight). Furthermore, "Snowpiercer" features brilliant POC actors (Koreans Song Kang-Ho and Ko Ah-Sung and Academy-Award winner, Octavia Spencer) in major roles alongside their Caucasian counterparts, which (let's be fucking honest here) is a goddamn rarity in any given Hollywood blockbuster standalone film or ongoing franchise. So to recap: "Snowpiercer" is NOT "the Hunger Games on a train", okay?! It is an emotionally compromising masterpiece of a film based on a FRENCH graphic novel series directed by a KOREAN director and features a RACIALLY DIVERSE ensemble cast of actors and showcasing POST-APOCALYPTIC THEMES with a refreshing twist while providing biting social commentary at the same time. Haters gonna hate, but oh gee, look at all the fucks I give to your counterpoints. In the famous words of the deliciously despotic Minister Mason... This has been your friendly neighborhood Tumblr PSA regarding "Snowpiercer". Thank you for your time.

"From a very young age, Mr. Wilford's love of locomotives was apparent. His early dreams were realized when he founded his transportation empire, the Wilford Industries. But his greatest dream was to construct a luxury locomotive cruise line connecting the railways of the entire world into one. A circular railway that extends for 438,000 kilometers to complete one circle every year. Impervious to the extreme cold of the Arctic and the scorching heat of the African desert, Wilford's miracle train is self-sustaining and possesses the most sophisticated design and advanced technology known to man." — Biographical information on Wilford, the creator of the Snowpiercer.
