Okay sure but can’t you have all of that without the train?
Imo a bunker would be a much better metaphor, especially since Ed Harris’ character believed their world was eternal (it was hard to believe it was running for that long).
I like the director and his critique on capitalism but imo he did it wrong. Especially give that the ending…
Tap for spoiler
…was the self destruction of humanity, given the train crashed, not anarchy.
Imo the movie would have been semi saved if they just showed a tribe of Eskimos at the end, not a polar bear.
That would be perfect, it would show that humanity would live on, but clearly the capitalistic system that was preserved on a train was self destructive and always meant to crash.
Nic Cage is more like a renegade.
Keanu is more like action Jesus.
