19. introduction Train to Busan is a unique and diverting zombie film. For decades, movies about the undead have essentially built on a foundation of fear of our fellowman but “Train to Busan ” takes that a step further by building on the idea that, even in our darkest days, we need to look for each other. The story begins when Seok -woo, a divorced fund manager, is a workaholic and absentee father to his young daughter, Su-an. For her birthday the next day, she wishes for her father to take her to  Busan  to see her mother. They board the  KTX  at  Seoul Station . Others on the same train are tough working-class husband Sang- hwa and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong , a high school baseball team, rich-yet-egotistical COO Yon- suk , elderly sisters In- gil and Jon- gil , and a homeless man who is experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder.

20. As the train departs, a convulsing young woman boards the train with a bite wound on her leg. The woman soon becomes a zombie and attacks a train attendant, who then also turns into a zombie. The infection quickly spreads throughout the train. Baseball player Yong- guk , a girl named Jin- hee who has a crush on him, and several passengers manage to escape to another car. News broadcasts report zombie outbreaks throughout the country. The train stops at  Daejeon , but the surviving passengers find that the city has also been overrun, and they hastily retreat back to the train, splitting up into different train cars in the chaos. The conductor restarts the train to head to Busan , where a successful quarantine zone has reportedly been established.

21. A blocked track at  East Daegu train station  forces the survivors to stop and search for another train. In the process, Seok -woo, Seong-kyeong , Su-an, and the homeless man are separated from Yong- guk and Jin- hee . Yon- suk escapes after pushing the train attendant to be killed by the zombies, then does the same with Jin- hee . Heartbroken, Yong- guk stays with Jin- hee and is soon bitten by her. The train conductor starts a locomotive on another track but is also killed by zombies while trying to save Yon- suk . The homeless man sacrifices himself to let Su-an and Seong-kyeong escape with Seok -woo into the train the conductor had activated. They encounter Yon- suk in the motorman's cab, on the verge of turning into a zombie, having been bitten when the train conductor saved him. Seok -woo fights him off, but is himself bitten. He puts Su-an and Seong-kyeong inside the engine room and shares his last words with his daughter before moving outside. As he zombifies , he thinks of the first time he held his daughter in his arms and throws himself off the locomotive with a smile.

22. Su-an and Seong-kyeong get off at Busan and begin walking through a train tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel are soldiers stationed to defend the perimeter against zombies. Unable to see the new arrivals clearly, the soldiers at the checkpoint are instructed to shoot them. However, the soldiers then hear singing, which makes them realize the newcomers are human: it is Su-an, tearfully singing the song that she had wanted to perform for her father at the beginning of the film, now singing it to honor his sacrifice.

23. Body The film “Train to Busan ” is a action, suspense-thriller movie that is being praised by many because of its unique story between a father and his daughter. We agree with the context of this film that a parent will do anything to secure their child lives to the point that they can sacrifice anything for them. Just like the main character in the film, Seok -woo sacrifice himself by letting the zombie infect him and throwing himself off the train so that his daughter can survive. The movie also shows that when it comes to survival, the true color of a person is revealed. It’s either they are only for themselves or desire to help others. In the film we can see that yonsuk is a selfish man, he will do anything to save himself just like pushing someone to save him from being infected by a zombie.

24. Different emotions were also enclosed in this movie- disappointment, sadness, bravery and love. First disappointment because CEO implemented his pride and selfish to others for his own sake. Second, sadness because the Sanghwa has the desire to help others in the way that he holds and fight the zombies so that others can survive instead of letting the zombies thru, sanghwa sacrifices himself by bring infected. Lastly affection, a people will do things they never thought they capable of doing when it comes in this kind of situation. In the scene, were seok -woo, sangwa and yonguk fight against the zombies to fetch their loved ones in the bathroom and of course all people are scared of being infected but because of love they are able to face the zombies without hesitation, they are brave enough to fight their loved ones.

25. conclusion Overall, the film was spectacular and knowledgeable. It allows us to reflect on ourselves and it shows values and lessons that we can apply in our daily life. It shows forgiveness, beauty of nature, and love. When we forgive, we are free from our anger and bitterness. Seok -woo from being selfish to selfless, he learned to figure out how to absolve his heart. Life is full of risks, fears, pain and sacrifices. Out of all the obstacles that they have faced, it all goes down to one thing-love. Life without love loses the essence of it. Love shows us the realization of our abilities as humans. It also makes us vulnerable.

26. One cannot simply survive without the help of other. People depend on those around them. In this movie, survival is the topmost goal. But in survival also comes great sacrifices. Some become egocentric while others were willingly prepared to offer their life for the safety of someone else. What is done with sacrifice is done with love. Sometimes people do things out of their league because of this. Though there may be times we feel like giving up, love encourages us. It fulfills the footprints that our risks, fears, pain and sacrifices have left out. In the end, love is what keeps us going.
