Snowpiercer Movie Analysis
Snowpiercer by Bong Joon-Ho is a 2013 fiction movie founded on "Le Transperceneige." The initial stage of the movie materializes on a post-apocalyptic planet, focusing on the attempts to end climate change, which coincidentally led humanity to another glacial period. The film takes place in an era when humanity has been exterminated because of a disastrous climate control test where the only lucky victims are those who boarded the train: Snowpiercer. In this scene, cinematography and sound use pinpoints the reality of the class system within ‘Snowpiercer.’
The scene commences with Curtis and his squad trekking through a lecture room to access the train, driven to control and demolish the class system. The scene setting develops with numerous short-range snapped photos, aiming at the Curtis and violin, with the snaps swiftly shifting back and forth. The snapshot enlarges the violin, an object within the film setting. The snap focal point on the violin provides a synchronized sound produced by the actor playing it. The played chord is in a minor key, which creates an anxious mood. The music accompaniment played by the violin is a version of songs that would anciently be played at a memorial service, and this makes the minor key prevision the logic that someone is going to succumb (Ho). Generally, the music prematurely sets the tone of losing life. The sound plays over varied snaps aiming at the eggs carried to the teens in the lecture room, which links to the narrative's repetition. The echoing emerges from Curtis and his squad boarding a vehicle, facing a threat that gives rise to war and unavoidable violence, and later boarding into another vehicle (Ho). The setting is framed by presenting two core villains when Curtis boards the vehicle, creating a repetitive series of narratives.
On a different point, the positioning of the bald man, the oppressor, and Curtis in the frame exemplifies the theme of rebellion. The camera focuses on Curtis at a close range, as he is the audience's central character. The negligence of the oppressor near Curtis the camera personifies his danger, which is an endeavor to make sure that the audience suspects this character (Ho). The nervousness feeling was successfully attained as the proximity of the two actors in the setting signifies their motives. A repetitive scene in the film shows Curtis positioned in the frame facing right since he is moving forward approaching the train. Conversely, characters on the left side are portrayed moving rearwards, which habitually contributes to immoral decisions and loss of life.
The synchronized violin sound in the film aims to welcome the scene where a stranger and a teacher begin shooting aimlessly. The narrative peaks when the violin string breaks, causing a diegetic sound to start a fight in the scene. The acoustic minor key effectively builds tension by making the audience expect violence; this in and of itself demonstrates the narrative's repetition (Ho). Again, the audience's expectation is satisfied, making the viewer expect the next series of failures, successes, or violence,...
