The film is very bleak and dark. While the messages of the film are not subtle, its also not bad.
It feels like we aren't suppose to learn these characters all that much.
This world they've created for themselves takes no prisoners and basic morals are destroyed and nowhere to be seen.
I think the monologue about curtis taking part in cannibalisme is kinda out of the blue but it also kinda shows how far we'll go to survive and break what makes us human.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless, visceral descent through a moving train where social hierarchy collapses into violence, balancing claustrophobic allegory with propulsive action. You're trapped watching a system cannibalize itself with nowhere to go but forward.
