Welcome to our first-time watching Train To Busan (2016). This film is packed with intense suspense, unexpected emotional storytelling, and relentless zombie horror. This combination is what makes this incredible film directed by Yeon Sang-ho such a unique masterpiece. The way he blends all of these themes and tones together is pretty much flawless. It's no wonder as to why this became an internationally acclaimed South Korean horror sensation.
"Train to Busan" follows a group of passengers fighting for their lives as a mysterious virus turns fellow commuters into flesh-hungry zombies during a high-speed train journey. The film has a really entertaining take on the zombie genre and it even includes some really profound social commentary.
We hope you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we immerse ourselves in the storytelling that this fantastic film has to offer. We'll delve into the elements that make this film standout to us. From the nail-biting tension to the more emotional sequences.

Also, if you want a bit of a deeper dive into this movie, I highly recommend watching Dead Meat's Kill Count for this movie. They go deep on behind the scenes, how certain shots were done and how the story comes into being.

I do like that is has a bit of a through-line where people aren’t how society views them.

When "Parasite" was in the theaters, KZfaq recommended "Train to Busan." I had seen other South Korean movies, so I thought I was ready. The roller coaster ride through Fear/Dread/Sorrow left me emotionally drained. Kudos to the writer(s), director(s), actors, and, especially the stunt performers for creating a Modern Classic.

I'm Korean and don't speak English, so I used a translator. I was able to understand your conversation to some extent using the automatic translation function. It's interesting and fun for foreigners to enjoy watching Korean movies. 12:44 It's interesting that you see a pregnant woman and think it's scary foreshadowing. Other foreign KZfaqrs made similar predictions. Most Koreans are not familiar with zombie movies. So, I expect that few people will think of fearful foreshadowing when they see a pregnant woman. For reference, this movie is the most successful Korean movie featuring zombies. In the final scene of the movie, a child sings a song to overcome his fear in a dark place, a cliché often seen in Korean movies. 22:58 And the actor who wears a blue t-shirt and punches zombies is a famous actor and film producer in Korea. I am Korean-American. His American name is 'Don Lee' and his Korean name is Ma Dong-seok. He is also my favorite actor. He played the role of Gilgamesh in the movie ‘Eternals.’ I recommend the Korean movie he made. The title is [THE OUTLAWS]. I used a translator. Please understand even if the sentences are strange.

@melanie62954 4 ай бұрын

Your translated English is better than a lot of native English speakers who leave comments on youtube. 😅 Thanks for your insights! I always wonder what cultural context I'm missing when I watch international films. When I first saw Train to Busan, I knew that Ma Dong-seok must be a big star. He has an easy charisma that seemed familiar, even though I hadn't seen him in anything else. It's too bad that Eternals wasn't a good movie. I do hope he makes more appearances in English-language films.

The thing is this movie is not really about zombies, these monsters are just the medium to tell a story about the human condition. About how some of us shrink in the face of fear and some others rise to the occasion with bravery and sacrifice, because that’s what it is, a movie about sacrifice. I always cry during this film, even during reactions. Also, why were they competent? Men are mandated to go to the military before their 30th birthday? Or 28th? So most of the men older than 30 have already done their mandatory time in the military (18 months).

This movie shows so many social dinamics (especially from S/N Korea.) Little things from the 'Absentee Dad' asking an underling about gifts to the 'New Dad' who has his screen saver as his preborn baby(seen when his phone was used as a distraction.) To the 'Pregnant Mom' and the crying 'Child' seen by the 'COO' while he intentionally keeps them all trapped between cars. The 'Granny Sisters' relationship/personalities especially when seeing the other still alive. We see the 'Train Conductor' acquiescence to proceeding the 'COO' out of the lavatory although he seems to know he's likely being used as a sacrifice. And the unaware 'Engineer' still serving the passengers by attempting to help the 'COO' while the 'Outcast Man' heroically holds back the mob of infected The character arch for the 'Absentee Dad.' Fantastic movie with a great reaction!

If you liked "Train To Busan", then "All Of Us Are Dead" (also Korean, 12 episodes) is THE show for you. Has the same qualities und could almost play in the same universe. I know you watched Arcane a while ago, so tv shows aren't completely out of left field? I would in general suggest to broaden your horizon (and community) a bit and add a few more productions from Asian countries into the mix (especially for your Patreon). They usually provide different perspectives and takes compared to western productions (including the way they tell their stories). My main suggestion as entry point would be "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" (16 episodes), but "All Of Us Are Dead" is great as well. Another positive point for K-Dramas is, that they're usually produced as one story with one creative vision as one complete season and are done after that.

The last call with the mother, as he has to hear her turning over the phone, hit me really hard. I recently found your channel, and I enjoy it. You two are so insightful!

Hands down, my favorite zombie movie. I've seen tons of them, from Night of the living dead back in 1968 till now, but none of them had the emotional impact that this one did. Always surprising, crazy good visuals, makeup effects and performances are on point, but in this one, the story is king. And it's just devastating. The little character moments that make you care for most everybody, (except that one business guy, good riddance), just keep adding up until they are just snatched away, and man, those losses pile up... Just an incredible movie. So glad you guys enjoyed it as much as the hundreds that have recommended it!

7:39 "You always start off with denial." THANK YOU! Most people think they would respond appropriately and immediately, but in actuality, most people who aren't used to constantly being on guard against danger react like the reporter who was doing a live report, and when gunshots started ringing out, the reporter stood there for several seconds confused and looking around and asking "Are those fireworks?" Humans have a "normality bias" that requires a mind shift before they can mentally accept that something out of the ordinary is happening plus they're afraid to admit that something terrifying that "only happens to OTHER PEOPLE" is happening to them, so as you said, denial.

This was my first ever international film, after this i was watching so many ! I hate to be that person but i never was into international films cause of the captions and trying to keep track of the action at the same time. This movie, i barely had to read the captions to understand what was happening!

@melanie62954 4 ай бұрын

Glad to hear you ran with it after discovering international films! It seems to me that, with the inaudible dialogue issues modern American films have from sound mixing and actors mumbling dialogue, more and more people watch movies with captions on, regardless of what language they're in. So it makes foreign films more accessible when you're already used to it.

Another stellar reaction! South Korea has a multitude of superior horror thrillers, eclipsing the standard "hollywood" output. I suggest "Memories of Murder", "i Saw the Devil", and "The Wailing". You wont be sorry.

This, this exactly is why I absolutely love your channel so much. The way you look at movies and are so genuinely moved by some of them, I love that. Your analysis at the end of the film is always spot on. I’m a huge Asian movie/series buff, and this one certainly ranks very, very high on my fave Korean movies list. There is so much going on and even my dad, who hates anything zombie, loved this one. I hope you will maybe try some more Korean films/shows, some recomendations: Kingdom ( a historical zombie drama), Gyeonseong Creature, (the first five minutes alone will have you hooked ;) , All of us are Dead, (zombies on a school) Either way, keep up these great reactions! They are amazing! 😊

The choreographer, Jeon Young, is part of the crew Centipedz which specializes bone breaking dance genre. The style is characterized by contortionist movements. He also choreographed for Kingdom.

@garykeeling2275 4 ай бұрын

You were correct about them hiring dancers. Specifically, several of the zombies were members of a professional break dancing troupe!

Oh im so glad to have found your channel this morning. Just finished your reaction to 300 and now im super hyped to watch this one. Train to busan is one of the best zombie films in a long time imo so hope you enjoy

I'm surprised the little girl didn't blow up like the others that did. The baseball kid is the son in "Parasite", the lead is the recruiter in "Squid Game" and the big guy/expecting dad is from Marvel's "Eternals".

Usually when there's a pregnant character, they give birth at the worst possible moment (*cough cough* A Quiet Place *cough cough*). This baby, however, took one look at the outside world and said, "Nah maybe later."

The great thing about the ending was... the character development and growth. At the beginning the daughter didnt want the dad as much. At the end, the daughter is crying for him finally, but he cant be there for her anymore. Top 3 zombie movies of all times for sure. Sadly part 2 was ass lol

@meghanworkman6449 4 ай бұрын

So excited for this reaction! I love this movie so much. This is hands-down the best zombie movie I've ever seen, and just a phenomenal overall movie. The little girl's performance is AMAZING. Also, a moment to appreciate the train conductor. What an mvp...he really didn't deserve to go out like that.

@wevusqa1 4 ай бұрын

i dont know if anyone said this but they hired bone breaking choreographer for the zombie choreo and they had bone breaking dancers as some of the zombies to add to the CGi to make it more real and what was most interesting the most was the fact that they shot this on a train and they did it perfectly and they had to add one weakness to the zombies for it to be possible so they chose blindness cuz without it the whole plot wouldnt be possible there is way too many interesting things about this movie you should check out the BTS in your free time to see how amazing it was

i understand the asshole business suit group's side because of the zombie trope of someone who may be hiding a bite and will turn later, but at least let them in then isolate them or check for bites then include them again later when they don't turn. they fought through several cars filled with zombies and they survived? that shows they're strong and smart and lucky and i'd want to keep those sorts of people in my group.
