"Get On Board To Stay Alive"
“Train to Busan”
is a South Korean zombie film by Yeon Sang-Ho about a group of people who are
trapped in a train and find themselves in a zombie apocalypse. Getting to Busan
by train is their only chance of survival.
The concept of zombies may not be
original and this movie may resemble “World War Z” with
its zombie apocalypse however Yeon Sang-ho takes it further by addressing
themes of equality and humanity. Throughout the movie Yeon has emphasised on
how the characters respond to the virus outbreak, displaying the good and the
bad moments of humankind.
The movie brings out the best in the
protagonist who is selfish at first but learns to help and care for others when
the virus spread across the train. However there are people who always think of
themselves and leave others behind – just like the antagonist of the movie.
Therefore building on the idea that at times like this, we need to look out for
one another.
This movie is filled with action and
thrills but it will also have you laugh and cry. “Train to Busan”
is highly recommended and Critics are calling it the best zombie movie in
recent years.
