Well, Denzel looks slightly concerned for a few seconds, but apart from that nobody gives a damn. At end of the movie everyone is laughing and smiling and slapping each other on the back.
Poor old Judd.
Ha, excellent point on your part.
shareJudd who?
shareExactly. I just watched the movie and rated the movie a 5 for that fact alone. No one on that movie was sympathetic. I was rooting for them to fail. All of those jerks should have all burned.
shareThat whole scene was stupidly unrealistic anyhow. What was that engine made of? Dynamite?

I think the way Judd acted like a jerk towards the newbie at the start of the film was suppoed to set him up in an unsympathetic light so that we didn't didn't feel too sorry for him later on, but yeah it was still pretty harsh the way his charred and splattered remains were just swept aside to make way for the celebrating.
shareHow the movie felt about poor old Judd is exactly how Railroad Management feels about it's employees.
"Let's get out of here before one of those things kills Guy!"
yeah I felt sad when Stewart died, the poor guy attempted to stop the train and barely received any sympathy or appreciation for his attempt and eventual death...although we did see some of the other characters looking sad and shocked for a moment too, but nothing more than that basically.
When Stewart's locomotive blew up you could hear a reporter saying "woah I can't believe how crazy that was" in such a bland and monotone voice, like it was just a plain old regular day on the job for him, I felt like ringing that stupid reporter's neck! Someone just died trying to stop a out of control train and here is this stupid reporter sounding so bored!
Then again reporters are typically so monotone when they report news no matter how serious the news are.
Maybe a special memorial for Stewart was held off-camera and they just didn't show it in the movie? Who knows...
