I never read the source material, but I did stop in at our local art house to see the movie when it was released. It was intriguing, but walked out of the theater not honestly knowing if I loved it or hated it. I can, however, say that I enjoy the tv adaption much more. The tv format allows a depth of story and character that you just can't capture in a film's 120 minutes, and they're certainly taking advantage of that by providing a rich, layered story.
Please share your thoughts if you too are watching.

This confounds me, even knowing obscene wealth waters the ills of everything they do. I'm hoping to see a change that will bring about equity and fairness to build a better future.
Course that would be an unexciting ending.

(4,533 posts)The creator of the Snowpiercer movie, Bong Joon-ho, focuses on class differences. He directed Parasite, which won the Academy Award for best picture. I love his earlier movie The Host.
