Closed Environment (R-Rated article)

Wikipedia Snowpiercer

Anyone has watched this movie? titled Snowpiercer if you haven't, and wanted to watch it?skip this blog, it's a spoiler!!

"But, what is the movie that has anything related to sustainability?"A lot!! trust me.. see the title of this blog?"Closed Environment" with R-Rated.. You will see why..

Now, get to the business.


Ok, despite all the problem about environment, nature damage, etc, etc.. what's the root problem that cause it? My opinion.. GROWTH!!population in this term.

The movie represent that problem nicely. In the real world, we control the population by limit the birth rate using any kind of plan, policy, provision, etc etc. This movie has the same way in terms of population control using plan, policy, provision, rules, constitution, etc etc. But, it is not the birth rate they limit, but increase the death rate. How??simple.. Kill those who is no longer beneficial to the support the life of the entire population. (see why I put R-Rated, don't worry, I'll explain the details)

So, the movie talk about sometimes in the future where the earth...frozen. It doesn't matter why and how. The point is human try to survive by living inside a moving train (closed environment).

Train. Consist of the Locomotive, and the carriage behind. The more at the end of the carriage the lower the quality life and the higher the population. Just like in the real world's socio-economy pyramid.

So, as always the poor at the end of the carriage try to fight to the front, to the locomotive to put end to the misery. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, as a closed environment, they put a very strict rules to keep all the population alive. It's a good reason thou. So, the riot escalate, almost everyone from the back already reach the middle of the carriage, and only one survive till the front of the carriage. Guess what?it's already predicted. The riot is a good reason the ruler can eliminate more than half of the population, I mean, KILL them, no, slaughter to be precised. (R-Rated)

Why I said it represent the real world?obvious. The train just like the whole world, when in the end over-population happen, guess what's going to happen??don't worry it's not going to happen in this millennia.
