And then the survivors come across the Russians, who are just like
"Wait, something happened?"
Name Name hahaha
no wonder the americans didn't invade us
Narrator: "They see life outside the train, sparking hopes for the future!!!"
Polar Bear: "Why did they walk _to me_ and why aren't the Burritos running? Meh, who cares... Lunch!!!"
Annnnddd.... all hopes of the human race being rested on the shoulders of the two last survivors (a middle aged woman and a 10 y.o. kid, yuck) was ended - not with a whimper but, with the contented digestion noises / fart of an ex Coca Cola mascot...
The End!
What about Alaskans and Canadians?
Wintermute middle aged? She was 17
I think that polar bear licked its lips... that is not hope... its despair packed in 800kg of muscle mass.
For me, the end of the movie is a parody of a happy ending
Hope for life. Not human life but surface animal life
@@yucol5661 Humans clothed in furs and using wooden spears survived the ice age. There is no reasons they would not survive this.
@@yucol5661 Such a large predator surviving in that environment implies there are animals that humans can hunt. I think the ending to this movie symbolized that life outside the train was extraordinarily dangerous, but not impossible. All the antagonists of the movie led the train's inhabitants to believe the outside world was a death sentence. The polar bear proved them wrong. They may have been wrong for decades.
The bear called it's buddies and they had a feast on all those garbage cans full of food - umm, derailed train cars.

Small correction. The narration implies it is unknown if WIlford knew what was coming, or, just got lucky. Snowpiecers backstory, does establish Wilford was a brilliant engineer, and well understood CW7 would not work as hoped. I also recall that he may even have publicly spoken out against its deployment. However, once it was made clear that the CW7 plan would go forward, he actively prepared what would come to be called Snowpiecer, as an 'Ark' of sorts. IoW, he most defiantly planned and prepared his train for the aftermath of the CW7 disaster, otherwise, it would not have been able to endure in the manner it did. That is why the residents of the train are taught to venerate Wilford. They are praising not just his genius, but also his foresight in preparing for the disaster.
To all dimensional and inter-dimensional agents of the Templin institute, I wish you all a happy new year and a great 2019. (Or whatever year it is in whatever alternate world/universe/dimension you're in)

Could've built something sensible, like an underground bunker powered by geothermal energy that can mine for materials to make spare parts, but _NOOOOOO,_ Wilford, you _just had_ to do your stupid train fetish thing. See how well that turned out.

I actually laughed at the Polar Bear, probably because it was a revelation also encouraged by the music... All the species of the Arctic and the Antarctic thrived across Earth. I want to see a sequel about the survival of Humanity and if they could survive.
Last scene: There may be hope yet for humanity. *Here comes the Polar Bear*
There was a DOS game, a difficult one, that reminds me of this movie: Transarctica, aka Arctic Baron (1993). The Earth was plunged into an ice age due to a failed cool-down experiment, much like in the movie, and the remaining humans travelled in huge trains between the remaining cities all over the world (there was a big railway network that connected all the remaining major cities of the ice-covered world). Main activities are trade, mining for fuel, hunting re-emerged mammoths, avoiding wolf packs and enemy trains that are hunting you over the course of the game. Give it a try guys, it's an old game, but if you liked the movie, this game will fascinate you.
Still questioning why they chose for Leeds to remain prominent as a railway town over Crewe
Come on
Crewe was literally built for the trains, why wouldn't it Service the massive ones
The coolest Sci Fi train Iâve ever heard of. I saw this film just a month ago and I, being a railman and train enthusiast, was heavily impressed with it.
The ending was actually pretty grim and not because it has only two people stranded in the middle of nowhere, but because they see a Polar Bear, the largest land carnivores on earth an the only ones who actively hunts humans. So the moment that polar bear saw them, it was basically thinking "Oh look, lunch". Showing signs of other human life would have been a better more hopeful ending shot.
The polar bear was a sign of hope, they thought everything woupd be dead outside the train, the fact that there is still life shows that survival is possible
they canonically kill it
I didn't expect much from Snowpiercer when I first saw it, but it turned out to be a pretty good movie. Great job in explaining the story, Templin!
This machine is the machine that will pierce the heavens!
Hello, commenting legend! Happy new year!
Hello there again and happy new year.
Oof
Hail 2 you

I was so accustomed to Chris Evans as Captain America, I found it kinda funny when he admitted that babies taste the best in snowpiercer.
Snowpiercer is the closest thing we'll ever get to a bioshock movie.
Netflix is making a Bioshock movie, never say never.
And then they all got eaten by polar bears, the end.
@@awesomenessmike7629 source?
If polar bears survived it can't have been that cold.
At least no too cold for natives in these climates.

@Machete Your comment just gave me an aneurysm. WTF did I just read?? Can you please write something coherent! XD!
Well, at least the 2020 Snowpiercer hasn't gone off the rails and continues to delight with its plot! and yes Australia is there on the world map)
Who maintains the tracks, bridges, etc?
asdfghjkl If you build them to last. You donât have to worry about any of that.
But yes, thatâs a gigantic plot hole in both the movie and the graphic novel it is loosely based off of. Couldâve been another example of the unsustainable nature of the train and its âecosystemâ
Itâs a society that shouldnât work, but does, itâs metaphorical.
Niranox Considering it lasted for so long before a drug addict blew it up. I have to agree with you.
As a geologist, a worldwide connected railway system is impossible. The Earth is riddled with active fault lines, active volcanoes. It would be dangerous considering that such a railway system have to cross a tectonic plate into to go to another one, the boundaries of tectonic plates are usually active.
@@crypto1223 "If you build them to last. You donât have to worry about any of that."
That's BS. If you build anything "to last" it's probably going to last a while, maybe even close to indefinitely if it gets proper maintenance and is regularly inspected for faults and developing problems so they can be fixed before crippling the system.
Everyone: Build a powerful bunker!
Wilford: Nah. Iâm gonna build a train instead.
Why is it that in almost all of the end of the world scenarios no one ever thinks to set up an indoor hydroponic or eroponic farm. It's not like your going to be short on resources especially after a good chunk of the world's population dies. you could power it with solar wind or geothermal it's not as hard as most people think there CZcams videos on how to do it. I guess it's just not as dramatic as cannibalism.
Because those that did had lived a boring life and survived? The end.

@@jackb6663 how much of an upper class you get largely depends on the size of the society your dealing with.
A few hundred to a couple of thousand you might get some village elders and a chieftain a full class division would require a much larger population threshold . I have heard but I don't remember from where that fifteen thousand is the point at which a society changes from simple and egalitarian to complex and higher-archal.
So SnowPiecer is a train version of Noahâs Ark.That never stops or slows down.

This is one of those movies that is meant to be more symbolic than actually factual.
I'm sure that that you are a quantified professional white coat who have trouble suspending one's own doubts & disbelieves.... but nobody here isn't interested in what you think & believe. We came here for insights about the Snowpiercer, not your analyses about the possibility about anything, regardless what you think & feel. Perhaps it's a possibly that the character have took that possibly into account & might found ways around it; I also know that there's no such thing as a human science about the flow of nature written in stone, especially. So, I know that it's important that a stories & play, that even the those that's consider & labeled as meta-fantasy.... let along fantasy, sci-fi, & fiction, must have certain sort of special elements, such as a certain required degree of realism in order to give a play or a flick a enough believability to make a movie or play a success, even when it's take place in a world of pure & wild imagination; if I or anybody else on this channel ever came here just for non-fiction works & scientific correctness, then we would have tune in on the ones that have scientific documentaries.
@@TheGoldenWildcat I have the right to comment anything I want and so are you.
In real life I already used to people who found me boring. I don't demand extra attention, I simply am speaking my opinions.
Considering that this channel regularly uploads videos where they examine and critic fictional worlds with logical reasoning. You should see their videos about the reasoning of characters and plotting behind The Hunger Games, Star Wars, etc.
Therefore I did the same thing, as well as other commenters adding their own insights.
I suggest you switch to a channel where they worship fictional works instead of channels that critic, such as this one.
Have a nice day.
Virgin Earth vs Chadpiercer
And yet trains go over MTL and ISTL in Fossa Magna every day thanks to work of *actual* geologists and engineers.
I was rewatching the snowpiercer series on netflix and it was mentioned by ben to miles that the only thing perpetual in the train is their fuel, not the parts. Idk if other people noticed this fact as well in the series.
The series and the movie are in different universes. That's why the trains are different
Every continent? Mate I think you bloody missed one
Australia doesn't count lol đđ
Australia is a hoax
Antarctica?
Meanwhile, in Finland...
"-50*C, 20ft of snow, and I may be the last human being left on the planet."

"PERFECT." đđ
Turn's out the Finns survived by releasing the Heat from their Sauna's into the Air. Helsinki is now the capital of the world and Reindeer-Meat Pizza is the Worldwide Food.
In the TV show they say it is -124* C outside.
@@cementcar9196 the tv show is only 6 years after the great freeze. The movie is further into the future.
besides the Icebreakers, they need another one for railway maintenance ËŐ°ÉđŹ ËŐ°Éđ ËŐ°Éđ€ I love this movieđ
This movie is poetry and art. The train is just a construct. If you think about it literally, then the movie doesn't make sense. Why couldn't they run the train in place, and use the heat generated to melt snow for water, safer than risking an avalanche derailment. The idea of a huge aquarium inside a tiny train is some Doctor Who bullshit. Did the cow pastures have acres of grass in all directions? The idea of having technology to design a train with infinite power, but it only works with child slavery; then it doesn't have infinite power. Just have a bunch of conan the barbarian slaves to push a gear in circle, then call it a infinitely powered engine.
The Snowpiercer also has what is arguably the best New Year's countdown in movies
A pretty good sequel to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
So basically , this Wilford guy built a perpetual engine and he thinks building a forever running train better than a weather controlled dome aka a big green house ? Bravo Wilford , your obsession with trains is astoundingly awesome
Help, at least the Wilford in the t.v series actually used his brain and built a supply train for snowpiercer.
Actually one of my favorite movies
Thatâs a late Christmas gift!

I actually like the netflix series version a lot more than the movie. It feels way more grounded and fleshed out. Also I absolutely loved the complex intrigue of the first season. Decisions were never made out to be easy or black or white.
Ok, But you know the design of the train is just you know breaking through ice instead of calling Snowpiercer it should be named icebreaker but the movie itself is just called Snowpiercer
The concept may sound ridiculous. I have not watched the movie but the Netflix show does a great job of getting you invested.
Hang on a minute... The train takes a whole year to travel 438000 kilometers. That means that this crowning achievement of humanity only goes at 50 kilometers an hour (or about 35 MPH)
@@macker1479 Yes. But the clips shown in this video would have led you to believe that the train is doing at least twice that speed.
Itâs a big ass train.
A train year is not 365 days, it is just how long it takes the train to complete a revolution.
Iâm just wondering how none of the bridges and tunnels collapsed despite 18 years of heavy snow and no maintenance.
Life at the back of the train reminds me of travelling unreserved on Indian Railways.
I always wondered how hungry the ice bear at the end actually was? :D
The one thing they could've done is a backup plan. Something that can create heat against ice age

No complete Canon to work off.
_Passengers at the tail of the train_
They were stowaways.
Y'know, what is the biggest flaw of the movie (after the engine, ofc)? Railways. They need to be repaired and maintained constantly, 24/7.
Do you think you could do one about the TV Series Version? It seems better equiped to handle the frozen Earth.
Polar Bears are the largest Land Carnivores on the planet and are known to actively hunt humans. The ending basically told you that they were screwed.
Now imagine if the transformers had a crossover with snowpiercer, where the locomotive â eternal engine â was secretly a transformer with no Alliance trying to survive off energy alone since it had no energon to survive and was doing it purely off of its own energy, every time a car was destroyed, the engine would groan, showing a sign of discomfort whenever any humans or a train car would be lost to the frozen planet, big Alice would instead be a decepticon, living off the backs of the humans and serving under mr wilford, whenever one of the trains derail, killing everyone inside, they would transform and hunt the other down in order to survive.
Anyone else have questions regarding the layout of this train? Like you gotta go through a restaurant and a sauna just to get to the dance club and going the opposite way you gotta go through a school to get to the prison.
I bet whoever designed this thing owns all the Railworks DLC.
who else was pissed about the polar bear? If you want to present hope don't drop a child and a young woman in a wasteland next to something that will definitely eat them immediately
ikr?
It was hope for life on Earth, not hope for humanity :P
It has 3000 warm...ish bodies to eat now thereâs no risk of it eating what could put up a fight
@@Ty-yt3lj Put up a fight? Hahaha, you don't know much about polar bears. To a polar bear, an unarmed human is not significantly different from a corpse.
bktrn yes
But polar bears also don't eat humans
Suggestion: The Republic of Gilead from The Handmaid's Tale
At The Series Snowpiercer Was 1001 Cars Long And Big Alice Was 40 Cars Long (Formerly Being 43 Cars) While The Movie Snowpiercer Is 60 Cars Long With Icebreaker Only Being Mentioned In The Novels It Is Unknown How Many Cars It Had But My Guess Would Be Just Below 70
If the traditional two rail system for train tracks had been replaced by what I will call a cradle track, at least on the perilous parts of the journey, then chances of derailment would have been greatly reduced, depending on what causes derailment in the first place of course. A cradle track is where stabilising rails run along the train part way up the height of the engine and carriages. This provides lateral support for the train travelling around bends where the train's suspension system is pushed to the limits. Or it could just slow down....
Willy Wonka 2 was such a great movie thanks for covering it!
Only thing i could not get past is the tracks, they would be lucky to last a year without maintenance, especially in those conditions.
Oh yeh and those survivors would be bear dung in 12 hours or less.
Interesting that the kids on snow piercer were taught that the train would run forever however eventually even if it never derailed or had any mechanical problems the tracks it was running on would eventually break down from both the extreme weather conditions and the trains non stop high speed running so eventually it would stop even if everything went well with the train itself and itâs people
i just wanted to know about the train. not the movie.
Oh shit Tenplin actually did what i said in the Santa's Workshop video!
Ok, maybe not exactly, but its still a train.

god I love this damn train
"Meat is back on the menu boys"
When I saw this I really enjoyed it immensely and the twist was one of the best parts. Great movie and book
This movie sums up life as a whole very well. the whole objective was to reach the front and take over from the "tyrant" that was calling the shots. but by the end, there was no winning no matter what. the irony of blowing up the train and killing basically everyone in it because of some moral high ground that children were being used to keep the train operating, he managed to extinguish life (the fact that two survived does not matter) he did not know what the conditions are like outside the encased environment that was keeping them alive. he fought thru all of this to get to the engine and when he got there it was not enough. his choices were either kill everyone or take over the system he was attempting to overthrow.
Woo! I love the snowpiercer graphic novels and when I saw this video I flipped out. Thank you!

Since you guys did Snowpiercer, you should do Frostpunk in the future.

@@J_mappele_rafael yes I no that,but the government bunkers were built in 1900s and updated ever since and they were built to last long time if not indefinitely so I could have survived the years since the freeze with some survivors or at least there decedents that what I mean if you would have read it right you would have realized that

Wouldnt the cold destroy bridges and track etc, I understand the train will scifi keep going but nothing on the track would. Plus wouldn't some humans just live underground away from cold and survive easier than the train
