Hi! :) I'm actually the OP of this secret, and I guess the movie makes sense on quite a few levels. It's just that the movie was sort of 'sold' as the 21st century answer to "Metropolis" from the 1920s or 1930s, which apparently had some things to say about social structure and inequality as well.

But it's so odd, it really is. Aspects of the train make no sense except as a kind of surrealistic portrayal of a society gone utterly hermetic, and all I could keep thinking about by the end was what a depressing illustration it was of a society forever locked into cycles without any real permanent shift in the stunning and appalling inequities extant within it. (which, given its surrealistic reinterpretation of our real-world social stratification, you can sort of see why it's that way, instead of a thrilling hero-tale of finally upending the age-old tendency of society to create the poor and dispossessed either aided by deliberate action or simply through inaction).

But yeah, I get that on another level it's not supposed to really be social commentary, and to that end, 100% agreed on the scenes and visuals! The work put into those really shows!
