narrative of choice: Narrative which develops main character

film of choice: Train to Busan

Train to Busan is a zombie horror film in which one of the "infected" manages to get onto the last available train to safety. one by one the zombie converts the majority on the train, creating its very own swarm. the plot is following the story of businessman Gong Yoo and his daughter Su-an, a lonely little girl who just wanted to spend her birthday with her mother.

in terms of Characterisation, the development of Gong Yoo is immensely significant because it. shows that instead of simply being a self absorbed, ignorant twat that ignored his daughter for work, he's become a father who would bravely sacrifice his life for his little girl. as well as this, the daughter manages to maintain her innocence throughout the entire film, not being corrupted despite being surrounded by gore and horror and death.

a significant scene in the film is the final scene, the pregnant lady and Su-an alone together, managed to get off the train and are walking through a literal war zone, not focusing on the dead bodies but instead on each other. the unnamed woman is clutching her stomach, protecting the innocence within. the camera shows the backs of the two girls, walking into the darkness, suggesting that even the pure can get consumed in the end. the next thing we see is a gun, held by a soldier who is ready to fire at any given moment. There is no music in the scene, only background noise and the voices of the soldiers. as the soldier gets ready to fire, the next thing we hear is the child singing- showing that she is in fact stll alive and still a child.

However, a point worth mentioning is this; who is the main character of the film? is it the heroic father? or the innocent child? i guess it can be left up to interpretation.
