Do They Speak English In Train To Busan

[Leronne Washington]

Notonly that, but the setting itself provides the perfect background for action sequences. Zombies falling over train chairs, slamming through compartment doors, and jumping off of the roof of the train cars are just a few of the examples of what we see.

Sometimes, movies tend to give us a bit of a break from the ongoing craziness of what is happening. For example, I feel that in every Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, there is always a lull in the action for viewers to catch their breaths from the big CGI fights, to appreciate the story being told.

That moment speaks so many volumes. Not only is it proof of how far Su-an has grown, but it symbolizes her love of her dad, and her willingness to not be afraid anymore despite the fact that her father is now dead. It leaves a pit in the bottom of your stomach, but is such a great way to end the movie as a callback to the beginning.

As you may have figured from that opening, I was able to go to Busan recently. Despite the lack of zombies, this trip was one to remember, partially because of how much we were able to pack into the few days we were there. This trip was decided last minute, with less than a week to decide what to do. One person brought up the idea of Busan (Thank you, Kendrick), and soon enough, we all kicked off to planning it out. With 14 people going (yes, you saw that right), finding accommodations was extremely difficult, especially since it was only 5 of us planning this out. We decided the best use of our money was to split into 2 airbnb's that, finding out when we got there, were in the same building. It took us 4 hours in Emart, well into 1 am for us to finalize our plans on where we were going to stay and how we were going down to Busan.

For the trip, we were going down from Thursday night to Monday morning. Long weekend trips work perfectly for me since I have no classes on Fridays and online classes on Mondays. It's that exact reason why I was able to do Busan and in the future, Japan. So, the majority of everyone was getting to Busan on Thursday night with some exceptions. Since I was one of the two who booked one of the Airbnb's, it made sense that I got down there earlier so we could make sure everything was okay with the place. Once again, our trustful Trip.com was how we booked our train tickets and the ride down was around 3 hours. There were 5 of us traveling down together and the journey was enjoyable and restful considering all of us fell asleep. But the views we saw were gorgeous and it was wonderful being able to see different parts of South Korea that were outside of Seoul. We were staying in Haeundae, which has one of the main beaches but unlike Seoul, everything is far from each other. But we lucked out with Airbnb because we were right on the beach which came in handy during our time there.

On our first full day in Busan, we planned to go to the famed Gamcheon Cultural Village. Nicknamed the "Machu Picchu of Busan", the village is formed by houses built in a staircase-like fashion. Many of the houses have blue roofs that show such a pretty picture against the harbor. This was my second time here since I had come to Korea originally in 2019. Still, I was in awe of this beautiful place and getting to see the different stores were fascinating. The story of the Little Prince is popular here and there were many stores and murals dedicated to it. There are also murals dedicated to BTS and Jungkook and Jimin who are from Busan, showcasing the pride the city holds for them. We took many beautiful photos and had a great time there. I even got to buy some enamel pins to put on my bag, I have quite the collection now. After the village and lunch, we went exploring the many seafood markets in Busan. Considering the city is the second largest in the country and the port city, many come here to try the different types of seafood offered. Personally, I do not like or eat seafood and walking around all of the fish actually made me feel nauseous. But, it was interesting to see all the different delicies here. But one thing that was told to us before we went was to not try any of the seafood from the markets because many had gotten food poisoning from it. So, if you go and try, I recommend you to eat with caution. But enjoy this picture of majority of us at the pier after going through the markets!

The next day, we all split off into smaller groups because we different things we wanted to do. My friend, Laura, and I had found this beautiful cafe that was on top of a hotel. We could see the entirety of Haeundae and the beach as well. While the food was okay, the views made up for it and we were able to have such a relaxing time there. Afterwards, I was able to explore Haeundae Market which while it did have seafood, it also had alot of cute stores that were fun to check out. There were alot of food stalls that made the area smell so good. Afterwards, I met my friends on the beach as they had been tanning and building sandcastles. The beaches, while available to the public, were actually not truly opened because it was considered the offseason. It is not recommended for people to be in the water because there are no lifeguards active at the time. But that didn't mean you couldn't dip your feet into the water. However, the highlight of the trip was to be later that night. When we were originally on our way to our airbnb that first night, our uber was explaining that it was possible to buy tickets to go out on a yacht. That had us all excited so we planned to do that saturday night. In fact, it was so worth it. While we tried to get the whole group, we were only able to do 10 people that night and the rest of the group went on Sunday night. Getting to be on the boat was amazing and a bonding experience for us as we just relaxed listening to the music and feeling the ocean breeze on us. It was so much fun and a memory that will remain the highlight of my trip to Busan. (We also figured that since we were on a boat, we had to recreate the Titanic scene).

The film premiered in the Midnight Screenings section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival on 13th of May.[6][7][8][9] On 7 August, the film set a record as the first Korean film of 2016 to break the audience record of over 10 million theatergoers.[10][11]

The movie successfully launched the Train to Busan film series, with the animated prequel Seoul Station released in 2016 and a standalone sequel named Peninsula released in 2020. Another installment and an American-produced adaptation are also in development.

Fund manager Seok-woo is a cynical workaholic and a divorced father. His estranged daughter Su-an wants to spend her birthday with her mother Nayoung in Busan. Seok-woo sees a video of Su-an attempting to sing "Aloha ʻOe" at her singing recital and succumbing to stage fright as a result of his absence. Overcome with guilt, he decides to grant Su-an's birthday wish. The next day, they board the KTX 101 at Seoul Station, en route to Busan. Other passengers include Sang-hwa and his pregnant wife Seong-kyeong, CEO Yon-suk, a high school baseball team including player Yong-guk and his cheerleader girlfriend Jin-hee, elderly sisters In-gil and Jong-gil, and a traumatized homeless stowaway hiding in the bathroom. Before the train departs, an ill woman runs onto the train unnoticed. She turns into a zombie and attacks a train attendant, who also turns. The infection spreads rapidly throughout the train.

A blocked track at the East Daegu Station forces the survivors to stop and search for another train. Yon-suk escapes after pushing Ki-chul into the zombies. A flaming locomotive derails, separating the group and trapping Seok-woo, Su-an, Seong-kyeong and the homeless man underneath a carriage filled with zombies. Meanwhile, Yon-suk runs into Jin-hee and Yong-guk, pushing the former into a zombie in his attempts to escape. Heartbroken, Yong-guk stays with Jin-hee until she turns and kills him. The conductor starts a locomotive on another track but is also thrown to the zombies while trying to save an injured Yon-suk. Seok-woo finds a way out from under the carriage, but the escape route is shortly afterward blocked by falling debris. The homeless man sacrifices himself to buy time for Seok-woo to clear the debris, and he, Su-an and Seong-kyeong manage to escape onto the new locomotive.

After fighting off zombies hanging onto the locomotive, they encounter Yon-suk, who is on the verge of turning into a zombie and is begging for help. Seok-woo manages to throw him off but is bitten. He puts Su-an and Seong-kyeong inside the engine room, teaches the latter how to operate the train, and says goodbye to the former. In his final moments before he turns, he reminisces the moment of Su-an's birth, before throwing himself off the locomotive.
