Spidey Freak Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Why can't the upper classes just detach the tail carriages containing the lower classes once they begin to revolt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charism Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 This is so obvious that it's probably explained during the movie. If not, then, well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmmi Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I could answer that question but this is a spoiler free zone, so you'll have to just go and watch it when it finally gets released 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 My excitement for seeing this in theater here is just not there anymore after hearing about the cutting crap. I think I better wait for DVD or whenever I can see the movie in full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I don't get it. What's the film about? The trailer doesn't really show much. In fact it looks quite awful imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 On the upside, the people who've seen the cut version still have high praise for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Maybe they only edited out the extraneous parts. Remember that there are movies like Cinema Paradiso where most people much prefer the edited version to the uncut version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Maybe they only edited out the extraneous parts. Remember that there are movies like Cinema Paradiso where most people much prefer the edited version to the uncut version.Did you read the article? It was not about being edited, the director was told to cut a good 20 min out, mostly character development stuff. Basically Weistein wants to make it as simple as possible, "dumb it down" apparently. Or keeping it mostly an action movie.And one of our member here already watched the movie. He had said he didn't get what's there that so complicated that they want to cut 20 min worth of footage.

He had said he didn't get what's there that so complicated that they want to cut 20 min worth of footage. If they wanted to cut out an entire sideplot or scenes whose absence from the film would not render the rest of the movie senseless then it is totally alright. Again, the Cinema Paradiso analogy holds, where almost a half hour's worth of the film was cut out because it focused on a secondary plotline(the romance) and made THAT plotline the crux of the film instead of the primary plotline(the relationship between the protagonist and the projectionist). Majority of the people I know who have seen both versions of the film far prefer the edited version because it is more seamless and focused than the uncut version. Heck, the uncut version was a box office disappointment when it was first released, and then when they released the edited version in theaters, that was a huge hit. If the studio thought those 20 mins of Snowpiercer unnecessarily complicated the story and characters and/or dragged the film down, and/or took away from the main point of the film, then they are well within their rights to have those scenes removed for smoother and crisper storytelling. Don't know how accurate that "film should be understood by audiences in Iowa.. and Oklahoma" quote is. Seems splintered and slightly out of context to me. Could just be a classic case of online blogs making a mountain out of a molehill. Edited September 22, 2013 by Spidey Freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
