Runaway Train
I trust that all of you will have something to say about Runaway Train on your blogs. This film has an awful lot going on. The problem, if we can call it that, is that the plot is so engrossing that it leaves little brain-time to think about what is going on behind the scenes. However, if everyone contrubutes just a bit, I imagine we'll get a fairly accurate snapshot of what the creators were driving at. I hesistate, again, to give you any direction or clues in this regard. I'd prefer to hear what you have to say before I send you off on a directed treasure hunt. And there's much treasure to be mined in this film, as one would expect with such an elegant pedigree. Kurosawa, Konchalovsky, Milosevic, Zindel, Voigt. Good luck

Well.. I have to agree, this is not the type of film we could have sat through pausing every five minutes to point out symbols in the back ground, etc. like we were capable of doing in Citizen Kane. Anyways, I discussed Runaway Train on my blog, so feel free to read it and comment.
