Wilford

‘save’ the planet that they were the ones who doomed it. This theme is consistently repeated over the course of two hours as Bong Joon-ho gives us the character of Curtis, a rear-train dweller, and threads his life through the needle of determinism by the will of the ‘benevolent’ Wilford, the creator of the eternal engine that powers the Snowpiercer train, and the man that lives…

Capital punishment has been in effect for many years with the hopes that people will witness and learn from the mistakes of others and in turn deter crime. In the case of Wilford Berry, also known as The Volunteer, capital punishment was enforced after an incident that took place on November 30th, 1989. Wilford Berry shot and killed Charles Mitroff, a man who employed Berry at his bakery in Cleveland, Ohio. During the robbery, Anthony Lozar, Berry’s accomplice, shot Mitroff in the chest. While…

(Curtis), Song Kang-ho (Namgoong Minsoo), Jaime Bell (Edgar), John Hurt (Gilliam), Tida Swinton (Mason), Ah-sung Ko (Yona) and Ed Harris (Wilford). The movie plot is an engine that keeps a super-powered locomotive speeding around the planet, the depleted lower classes lived-in the rear cars (Curtis, Edgar, Gilliam, and many others) while the privileged upper classes are indulged in the front( Mason and Wilford along with others). The balance of power between the lower and upper classes begins…

is stuck in the train for seventeen years and the surface on the world is still frozen. The train is under control of the capitalism where they separate people into different classes. Curtis is an accelerationist because he brings hopes to people on the tail to get better life. Instead of just staying at the tail forever and be Wilford’s slaves, they decide to fight against Wilford and get to the water control station to claim back their equality and freedom. As a leader of the tail, Curtis puts…

Religion: The Basics, in order to point out his message. In the Snowpiercer, Malory Nye’s theory on power is shown through the character development of Wilford, him arranging the people in a specific way confirms that theory. Richard Gombrich’s theory on cognitive vs affective belief, is shown through the main character, Curtis; it reveals how Curtis overcomes his selfishness. Emile Durkheim’s theory of society can be applied to the Snowpiercer, to reveal that lower class people are treated…

Save the Words! When we think of extinction, the first thing that comes to mind is of animals or plants, but what is most shocking is that people don’t realize that languages are declining faster than any living thing. Every two weeks, an elder with the last knowledge of a language passes away. (Davis) Along with the spoken words, a lifetime of tradition, history, religion, and much more is lost forever. Native dialects can disappear suddenly, but some can be lost slowly when the dominant…

Martelet et al. (2006) used Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering algorithm to classify airborne gamma-ray spectrometry data in French Guyana and noticed that ferralitic and bauxitic duricrusts display elevated U, Th content relative to K. In West Africa, Grimaud et al. (2015) used the Th/K ratio images to map the extent of the High glacis regolith surface. Regolith landform-maps were derived from gamma-ray spectrometry data by Wilford et al. (1997) and Wilford et al. (2007). Gamma ray…

organisation had offices in thirty-five different countries, dozens of employees, owned twenty prestige magazine publications and a news and features service, held art exhibitions and well publicised international conferences, and patronised musicians and artists, often holding their own award ceremonies (Saunders, 1999). The news and features service owned by the CCF was ‘Forum World Features’, a London based organisation that sold stories to some one hundred and forty newspapers around the…

Throughout the movie, the director allows the viewer to create an image in their mind for what the ending will play out like. He leads the viewer to believe, through Curtis’s actions, that once the rebellion reaches the front of the train and Mr. Wilford, that all the oppression will be gone. When Curtis finally steps into the eternal engine room and talks with Mr. Wilford, Joon-Ho shows a very different result. By eliminating all possible solutions to the problem, he addresses how a foreseen…

Materials became distinctive in the feature that, “[human] consciousness can never know pure consciousness and there can only know itself through the object world” (Wilford, 2008, p. 412). Consciousness then exhibited in the reality through the object gets molested by the commoditized material. Individuals obtained relations to the material, not only did the object identification restructured the communal interaction, but also the self-interaction. The behavioural act in which a commodity was…
