not strictly related to exploitation & revolution, but it’s interesting how they decided to name the train ‘the rattling ark’. the engine room is this off-white, this almost spoiled-white that symbolizes the false redemption of curtis’ revolution. i both hated and loved the soul-crushing, awful build up of moments and events that reminded us that no, revolution doesn’t mean salvation for the sufferers of the train. it was so easy for wilford to name curtis as his successor, to suddenly take away what little power curtis thought he had gained by changing the game entirely. the system a large block of metal and all curtis has is his principles a plastic fork.
