Actually I don't like Korean movies but since everyone is posting on Facebook about how heartfelt the ending is and even people who don't usually like thriler/zombie movies seem to like this movie. So ... I decided to watch it. The theater was vvv crowded. Luckily we were warned of the long lines and boyfie bought the tickets online. Most of the seats were already occupied. >_<
The movie starts with a father, Seok Woo, he is bringing his daughter Su An to visit his ex wife who lives in the port city of Busan by train. Before the train leaves Seoul station, a girl infected with a horrific virus jumps onto the train. She became frantic and began biting into the flesh of the passengers on train. So the story is about a couple of passengers struggle to survive on the train from Seoul to Busan. The movie shows how selfish a human can be. Not denying the fact that nowadays human beings have gotten more selfish... =(
Sang Hwa looked kind of badass and uncouth man but he's actually an uxorious and kindhearted man. He fights to protect his pregnant wife, Sung Kyung. However, he sacrificed himself to hold the door while others escape to safety.
Kim Eui Sung starred as the selfish transportation executive named Yong Suk. Everyone made sacrifices and died because of his selfishness.
The heartbreaking part is when Seok Woo tells Sung Kyung and Su An how to stop the engine at the end of the track as he sacrifices himself before he is transformed. This scene is definitely had us bawling inside the cinema.
The movie is more like the ups and downs of a roller coaster from beginning to end. But I think the story is progressing too fast and the ending seems incomplete. They should explain more about the infection. If you like zombie film don't miss this great movie. To those who haven't watched Train to Busan may judge the movie just a typical zombie film, BUT it is the story of relationships and interactions that rises above the horrific carnage. *P/S : Just make sure you bring a lot of tissue.
