I just didn't get why that old woman opened the door. She was thinking how thankful and proud she was of her sister (but with some obvious bitterness), then next thing you know she's opening the door? That was confusing and annoying. Just wondering if perhaps something was merely lost in translation there.
shareReally she was proud of her sister?
She opened that door because all those stupid people listened to the rich narcissist that wanted to save his ass. She opened that door to get revenge for her sister and the others.
So maybe, even if she was proud - however I didn´t see that - that does not mean she didn´t want those stupid people get what they deserve, for not letting them in and then throwing them out.
It is certainly not confusing in my mind. They all got what they deserve. I got annoyed by the rich ass that manipulated everyone to first not let them, throw them out, and then get away with killing four people (the steward on the train, the two kids and the train conductor) - He would have deserve to be killed much sooner. He died in the end, but I would have wish for a more suitable ending for him, you know when they were talking - just tell him that this is the same thing he did before and throw him off that train.
Our main heroes would have SURVIVED if the lady didn't open the door
also I did think it was odd that the rich guy put themselves nearer to the zombies...rather than use the maybe infected people as the BUFFER
Korea as a whole, as a country was represented in those old ladies.
The one trapped with the zombies = North Korea
The one stayed with the survivors = South Korea
I think that they're a metaphor for how the country is fragmented by different ideologies, with people still living in separate borders from each other.
Are there still families separated by the frontier?
I don't know but that's what I got from it.

Thank you! I was going to post a question about the sisters. I thought I'd caught a comment where one sister said something that sounded like North Korean "re-education" but wasn't sure and the way this movie moves fast, had no time to think about it.
Now I understand why one sister had her hair pulled back and drab clothes and her sister had a permanent, a bright jacket and a big purse. It wasn't just to tell them apart.
Even when she turned to a zombie she was sweet. Notice how she was the only one not clawing or snarling at the window. That part made me laugh.
shareNo really good answer to this. It's a plot problem. Pretty much nobody wants to be eaten by zombies, die, and become a zombie... Not even to zombify a bunch of jerks.
