Questions?

>If several people have the same favorite food, do cooks make several plates or make one bigger?
Not important and doesn't matter, but I'll humor you.

It would have been taken into account during the interview.

why did no one from the lower levels just jump on the elevator and ride upwards?

do you escape by going up or down?

They signed up for it, therefore they can't leave, so they can't ride it until the top.

If they get off on a higher floor they would most likely be killed because it's 2v1 and the higher floors don't want to share or cooperate.

okay and why was the jail existing in the first place? some sort of experiment? but for what purpose?

What would you take to the Pit?

so did the MC actually die somewhere near the end, maybe when his skull was caved in by the fat guy? what was in the darkness on the bottom? where did he walk off to? is it post-death?

why would it be a 2v1?
You can ride up with 2
It was never explicitly stated that you couldn't try to get out

The whole movie fails because it went for an allegorrical ending instead of playing the setting straight.

I can't tell if you and the other people in this thread are autistic or don't understand movies as a concept

It doesn't matter what the purpose of the platform jail is. It doesn't matter if it was real or a simulation, it doesn't matter if he was alive at the end or if it was the after life.

The only/whole purpose of the movie was to (hamfistedly) examine capitalism/class issues/race/the human condition and whatever other abstract ideas the filmmakers had in mind, anything else doesn't matter at all to the point.

Quite simply, in movies such as this one, snowpiercer and ad astra, it's not about the plot, the plot is merely a vessel, the apparatus used to deliver the meaning and message of the film itself.

You're focused on the surface level "what did we see happen in the move" when what you're supposed to be focused on is "what was the meaning of the things we saw happen in the movie, what was the message/point"

This movie could have had literally any other setting yet retain the same core purpose. The fact is that not all movies can be viewed, judged, and critiqued in the same manner, movies aren't just a binary thing, there is nuance.

Seriously, change your perspective.

Who was the kid?
Why couldnt the guy ride the plataform back and explain what he was doing? Wouldnt it be much better than some obscure "symbol"?

yeah but that kinda storytelling is shit
I know it was an allegory, it wasn't exactly subtle. You aren't intelligent for pointing out that the plot wasn't the focus / what we were supposed to focus on.

However I am saying that the presneted setting and potential plot if it were played straight just for the story would be much better than some puddle deep allegory that anyone over the age of 12 can understand. The allegory / "below the surface" is just not interesting or novel. The setting however is.

I don't give a shit about the purpose. Any 3rd grader could tell the purpose. Plot is more important than some hamfisted "capitalism bad" message.

what's this?

If I liked what movies should I watch this?

the cube

Snopiercer + Divider, the Road or any other edgy grimdark post-apoc shite

Thank you, lads.

the capitalism bad message was so surface level and heavy handed that it was crigne as fuck. Interesting idea thgouh

circle and the cube movies

>Why didn't they write an ending?
How do you write an ending to the greatest philosophical problem that mankind faces? You can't. Noone is smart enough. Just slap a shallow 'dood. the next generation is the answer dood' and call it a day.

It's true though. Put a bunch of hungry people into an arena and supply enough food for them if they all ration it. Fuckers will kill each other for more food.
t.live in a country hit by a lot of hurricanes and have seen people kill each other for food

by not having the movie about some dumb philosophical question, but instead stick to the plot

>but instead stick to the plot
The plot IS the philosophical question. They all but beat you over the head with it in the first 5 minutes when Samurai asks if the MC is a communist.

WOAH SO DEEP LIKE SOCIETY

Why did the girl keep going down?

OBVIO
B
V
I
O

WOAH SO CONTRARIAN user. YOU AREN'T LIKE ANYONE ELSE. YOU ARE SPECIAL WITH SPECIAL OPINIONS NOBODY ELSE HAS

To find her daughter

no the plot at first was "how do we survive / get out of here" it only turned into philosophy 101 wankery later

Aight Yas Forums, lets see how smart you are. Rewrite the ending.

The obviously rode down to the bottom every month but never once realized she was under the fucking bed?

yeah fuck Venezuela

/thread
seriously how retarded is this board

basedboy post, cringe

Face it, this was shit. The setting was cool and thats it.

dilate

retard, read the replies

you are so fucking dumb holy shit

So the kid goes back up at like 200 mph? Otherwise she'd be kidnapped and raped

She rode down every month because she knew exactly where the daughter was. She put the daughter on the lowest level and its implied she's been riding the table down to bring her food or human meat from someone she killed.

so glad Spain is being cleansed by Corona

trash reddit garbage

Remove the girl. She's unnecessary. Woman being crazy is better than there actually being a daughter cause there are plot holes when it comes to how the daughter would survive.

Ending: They ride up and either get free / get killed by The Administration / get smashed on the ceiling

>examine capitalism/class issues/race/the human condition
Problem is the director WANTS to say that "capitalism bad, socialism good" but all the characters are pieces of shit, on any floor. So taking into account that being selfish is "human nature" then capitalism is the only system that works. The director ain't exactly a bright guy I guess

>white man bad
>white woman and brown man good
Is every european country like this?

no, you are, if you think that this kind of surface level pseudointellectual wankery should have been the focus compared to the novel setup.

> ANY kind of cooperation between humans is communism
> therefore this movie is about capitalism
thread is full of retards

>The director ain't exactly a bright guy I guess
That's why the movie ended the way it did. I'm assuming the script writer is a brainlet.

>COMMUNISM GOOD! CAPITALISM BAD!
Wow, what a brave premise for a film to make so surface level

It flew too fast, it'd kill you

>ANY kind of cooperation between humans is communism
But there is NO cooperation, the tranny is telling the lower floor to eat only what they need and they don't give a shit until the main guy tells them they better comply or he'll shit on their food. So it's a good analogy for socialism, people either obey or they'll get sent to the gulags

i mean the negro, the protagonist and that girl with cancer were the good guys?
