Inside The Snowpiercer 03 : Greenhouse Section + Classroom Section Nearly midway through the train lies the verdant Greenhouse Section, which is officially considered as part of the Front Section. This area houses an impressive display full of plants, fruits, and vegetables. Yet the flora and edible food cultivated here is minimal and strictly controlled since the car was never designed to provide speedy production food supplies. Only the privileged few from the Front get to taste the produce cultivated in the Greenhouse. This car serves nothing more than an exhibition and leisure space, offering the Front Section passengers to enjoy a bit of greenery in contrast to the barren and icy world outside the confines of the Snowpiercer. As the train ride prolonged, the adults of the Front Section raised needs for proper education to their young children. But the curriculum, however, is drastically different from what was previously taught on a pre-ice age Earth, as the lessons learned by the children of the Front covers the history of the train and unquestioned veneration for Wilford--the creator of the Snowpiercer. The Classroom Section is more of a daycare school where the Front Section adults merely drop off their kids while they enjoy their leisures in peace. The design of the car itself--from the hyper-saturated color scheme, wooden desks, and an organ altar in the front reserved for the Teacher (Alison Pill)--highly suggests that the train's academic institution was built with a religious function from the very beginning. On the subject of children, there is a distinction between those who were born on Earth before the new ice age began and those who were born within the Snowpiercer once the nuclear winter destroyed the planet. The latter youths are known as "Train Babies"--generations conceived and birthed aboard the train and have never stepped foot on Earth. For the Train Babies, both from the Front and the Tail, the Snowpiercer is the only world they know. Having been born on the very first year that the train departed, Yona (Ko Ah-Sung)--the daughter of Namgoong Minsu--represents the first generation of the Train Babies. But considering the extreme class division within the confines of the train, the lives of the children from the Tail Section are vastly different from the kids living in the Front. Only the kids from the Front benefit from a pampered lifestyle and receive the cult-like education in the Classroom Section, while the Tail Section children are forced to deal with the hardships of their miserable existence together with their elders, and are subject to a mysterious event that allows the Front to seize selected youths away from their parents by force and be carted off to parts unknown within the Snowpiercer.

The original unedited version of "Snowpiercer" finally premiered in the Philippines and I could not be any happier about this! Saw the film and it more than exceeded my already high expectations despite me already knowing the plot from my other friends around the world who saw it before me. That being said, I highly guarantee you should all watch this extraordinary film in its full and intact version.

In the meantime, please do take the time to read my spoiler-free review of "Snowpiercer" which you can read by clicking this link here:

Film Review : Snowpiercer (Or Should I Say, SLAYPIERCER!)

"This is so disappointing! Passengers, this is not a shoe. This is disorder. This is size ten chaos! This, see this? This is death. In this locomotive we call home, there is one thing that goes between our warm hearts and the bitter cold. Clothing? Shields? No! Order. Order is the barrier that holds back the frozen death. We must all of us, on this train of life, remain in our allotted station. We must each of us occupy our preordained particular position. Would you wear a shoe on your head? Of course you wouldn't wear a shoe on your head! A shoe doesn't belong on your head, a shoe belongs on your foot! A hat belongs on your head. I am a hat, you are a shoe! I belong on the head, you belong on the foot, yes?! So it is! In the beginning, order was prescribed by your ticket: First Class, Economy, and Freeloaders like you. Eternal order is prescribed by the Sacred Engine. All things flow from the Sacred Engine: all things in their place, all passengers in their Section, all water flowing, all heat rising—pays homage to the Sacred Engine in its own particular preordained position. So it is! Now, as in the beginning, I belong to the FRONT. You belong to the TAIL. When the foot seeks the place of the head, a sacred line is crossed. Know your place! Keep your place! Be a shoe!" - Minister Mason's separatist speech to the Tail Section passengers, "Snowpiercer" +++ A tour through the compartments of the Snowpiercer's Front Section (gifs by moi) Greenhouse + Garden || Aquarium + Sushi Bar || Zoo + Abattoir || Classroom || Luxury Guestrooms (Library, Dental Office, Custom Clothing Room, among others) || Lounge + Beauty Salon || Swimming Pool + Sauna || Nightclub + Kronol Den

Memorable quotes from the main passengers 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.

HOLY SHIT! One of the best fan-made videos of "Snowpiercer" I've seen so far! If you saw the movie and loved it just as much as I did, then you guys should seriously check this out!

Acid-bright and filled with so many levels of fucked-up, the Classroom Section scene from "Snowpiercer" definitely was a favorite showstopper.
