Train To Busan

Korean movies are particularly fond of expressing something about human nature, and post-apocalyptic movies can present these things in the most naked way. When it comes to life threatening, some people choose to protect themselves, some choose to cooperate to survive, it is not these different choices to create a different life now, in this zombie film, we can see many flashes of humanity, father and daughter, husband and wife, lovers, the elderly, beggars in the face of the unbeatable situation together on the road to escape.

A manager who is engaged in the operation of securities funds, probably because of his profession, profit-oriented is what we see him. He is indifferent to his family and only seeks to protect himself in times of crisis. How unpleasant, thinking that such a person should educate children, not their own daughter’s kindness and understanding. The reversal of the plot lies in the fact that he encountered the help of wrestler Shang Hua again and again, and the humanity that was extinguished began to burn again. In the end, when he was about to be transformed into a zombie, he returned to the time of his daughter’s birth, which turned out to be his happiest and most nostalgic time, the final suicide was his dignity left to himself.
