Train to busan eng sub stream11/13/2022 Hollywood has a long history of Americanizing films, regardless of origin, from the Japanese film "Seven Samurai" being remade into "The Magnificent Seven," following the same story but set in the Wild West instead of feudal Japan. Typical to Western cinema, this includes an emphasis on a character's actions and their implications, which are generally driven by a certain goal, Olenina said. Olenina draws an example from the film "Solaris," a Soviet-era science fiction film that explores psychological and philosophical themes that were lost in the American version by the same name. It's natural for important themes to get lost in translation through remakes, but this comes at the expense of a director's intention for the film. "If people in the United States are just limiting themselves to watching American remakes, they are definitely losing out on a lot," she said. So all in all, this movie is good in my book.Why try to ruin train to busan by making a remake when y'all can just literally watch it with subtitles - haziq August 29, 2021Īna Hedberg Olenina, an assistant professor of comparative literature and media studies who also studies international cinema, said that watching international films introduces audiences to diverse voices, unique world views, and different cultures that can be lost through Western adaptations. And we also got an unexpected plot twist just as hope seemed to be lost near the end of the movie. And we do get a great climatic 'battle' near the end. More than a bunch of selfish assholes to make good people's lives harder just to survive. And of course like in Busan, there ARE assholes in this movie as well. And it's amazing how the survivors made use of the sensitivities to light and sound to try to divert the zombies around in order to make their escape. It's so fun that I felt like screaming in fear but it's still fun. Heck, I enjoyed this movie a whole lot better from Rampant and that's saying something. And what'll happen when the efforts to curb the zombie pandemic did not show any results as other nations decide to abandon the people still trapped in the zombie-ridden country because they find it pointless to help an already fallen country?Īnd to be honest, this isn't the first zombie movie that does use CGI for some of the zombies (like seriously, you don't run actual people down with high-speed cars so how else you wanna film THAT correctly?) and that never stopped people from enjoying movies like Silent Hill or Resident Evil. And the story still has a similar theme how fear and desperation will affect the people trying to escape from the virus that will turn you into an undead. Certainly, you can't expect the situation to unfold exactly the same as the people on that particular train. And the setting for the movie was focused on the other surviving people who had to try to escape the zombies by other ways BESIDES taking the KTX to Busan. And even then, the situation was already chaotic. I mean face it, the setting was four years after the escape to Busan. Because yes, the movie was quite fast-paced but it was exactly due to that what made any kinds of CGI barely noticeable. I mean, I watched this in the cinema and regardless of how much CGI had been used in this movie compared to Busan, I haven't even had time to think about that. If you dived into this movie without any set expectations you might surprise yourself to realise that you actually enjoyed this movie. If you're expecting Peninsular to go exactly as Train to Busan did, you might as well go rewatch the first movie and not have your high expectations be dashed. Surprise! I actually liked and enjoyed this movie.
