Snowpiercer Episode 8 Breakdown
Ok so as always we get a cold opening to kick start the show. This time it's through the eyes of one of our favourite characters, that is Ruth. She cleans up the first class carriage and sings Wilford's praises whilst sparkling the cutlery. Being born with a silver spoon is often seen as a sign of wealth and I think this has been purposely put here to show that she pretty much cleans up after the rich. Ruth has clearly always wanted power and in this episode it actually seems attainable in some ways.
As we know she boarded the train by herself after being hired on the spot by Wilford and thus he saved her life even if he has forced her into a role of servitude.
We know the person she worships isn't really Wilford but she has an almost religious view of the character and hopes that she gets to meet him one day much like how people how they get to meet God. She has of course met him before but that's just how it's phrased in the entry.
There's some bitter irony here as Melanie is actually the one that has pretty much done everything that Ruth is praising Wilford for but as we know from last week, Ruth is staging an insurrection with the Folgers and Commander Grey. We have said that Ruth likely suspects Melanie is Wilford but she can't bring herself to accept it and thus lives with this almost blind devotion that he is right, all powerful and just.
Speaking of insurrections, we also watch as Miles sneaks through the car at the front where the drivers and engineers are based. This episode is very much about revolutions and he signals LJ to go to the front. Last time Layton gave her a job and we start to see what this is first hand.
Now I love that the password is Eat The Rich as this is a catchphrase that has been laced throughout the show. It adds to the subtext of the revolution and basically means that once the poor starve enough they will turn on the rich and eat them. The phrase originates from Jean Jaques Rosseau and has been adapted for several revolutions and uprisings, lending itself well here.
LJ of course has complete disregard for life on the train as she has pretty much lived above it and never struggled. Because of this she's wanted to bring things crashing down because she cannot see the value in them and to her, everything is a game. She doesn't even realise the phrase eat the rich is referring to her and is happy with chaose.
We also see a picture of Melanie's daughter. We learn that Melanie's daughter and parents were supposed to get on the train but they didn't make it and thus died. Miles recounts how his parents didn't either and that Josie is his train mum.
Yikes.
We also hear Ruth utter the words these are his revolutions and though she means it in the sense of the train revolving around the earth, we know that it also refers to the tail and third planning to overthrow the first class and crew.
