The script of Snow Country Train is adapted from a work that won the grand prize of Aguilar International Comic Festival in France. In July this year (yes, 20 14), 79 countries around the world diffused CW-7 into the atmosphere in order to reverse the greenhouse effect. Unexpectedly, the temperature plummeted and the world was covered with ice and snow. The surviving residents boarded the round-the-world train made by wilford Company. This train designed by genius is pulled by perpetual motion machine, and the carriages are arranged from front to back according to social class, and it travels around the world once a year. The story begins with the hero narrative commonly used in Hollywood, and tells that the people in the back compartment set off a revolution under the leadership of the rebellious young Curtis. As the insurgents broke through the carriage and headed for the front of the car, the truth of this world gradually surfaced.

"Snowbreaker" itself is a microcosm of human society. From the beginning, the film shows the class conflict between the poor and the rich, the powerful and the powerless vividly with all kinds of strong contrasts. However, class is not the whole of society. With the revolutionaries approaching from the end to the front, the class shown in the film gradually rises, and the contradiction between individual freedom and overall survival gradually becomes prominent. Curtis, the leader of the uprising, showed his determination to "give me liberty or give me death" from the beginning of the revolution. In the scene of a hand-to-hand combat in a carriage, he sacrificed his brother to capture the hostages alive and reached the lofty realm of sacrifice for himself. But at the end of the film, after experiencing the baptism of "balance theory", he resolutely made an "irrational" choice, indicating that he chose the former between dying freely and living like a maggot. All mankind paid a painful price for this, but the survivors won the dignity of being born as human beings.
