| “ | You ever been to the tail section? Do you have any idea what went on back there? When we boarded? It was chaos. Yeah, we didn't freeze to death, but we didn't have time to be thankful. Wilford's soldiers came and they took everything. A thousand people in an iron box. No food, no water... After a month, we ate the weak... You know what I hate about myself? I know what people taste like. I know that babies taste best... There was a woman. She was hiding with her baby. And some men with knives came. They killed her and they took her baby. And then an old man-no relation, just an old man-stepped forward and he said, "Give me the knife." And everyone thought he'd kill the baby himself. But he took the knife and he cut off his arm. And he said, "Eat this, if you're so hungry. Eat this, just leave the baby." I had never seen anything like that. And the men put down their knives... You've probably guessed who that old man was. That baby was Edgar. And I was the man with the knife. I killed Edgar's mother... And then one by one, other people in the tail section started cutting off arms and legs and offering them. It was like a miracle. And I wanted to. I tried, it's... A month later, Wilford's soldiers brought those protein blocks. We've been eatin' that sh*t ever since. 18 years I've hated Wilford. 18 years I've waited for this moment. And now I'm here... Open the gate. Please. | „ |
| ~ Curtis to Namgoong about his early life at the train and he hated Wilford. |
Curtis Everett is the main protagonist of Snowpiercer. He is the leader of the rebels that fights through the train to survive.
He is played by Chris Evans who also played Captain America from Marvel Cinematic Universe and Human Torch from Fantastic Four 2005 film and its 2007 sequel.
History[]
Following the global warming 17 years ago, in 2031, inside the train, Curtis Everett found a letter from the protein bar, which was written Namgoong. Curtis realizes that when Minister Mason says the weapons are useless, it means they are empty since the insurgency. So Curtis and the rebels fought through the train. They found Namgoong Minsoo and his 17 years old daughter, Yona and freed them both from the prison cars. At the cooking car, Curtis saw roaches, meaning protein bars are made of these, much to his disgust. During violent fight between the rebels and soldiers armed with axes and night visions, Curtis captures Mason instead of saving Edgar who died at the hands of Franco the Younger. After Grey kills an ambushing pregnant teacher, Curtis sees Franco the Elder executing his mentor, Gilliam via shooting shown in the TV camera. In revenge, Curtis shoots Mason in the head, killing her for good. After Curtis fought Franco the Elder, who kills Grey and fatally wound Tanya, to unconsciousness, he talks to Tanya shortly before dying.When Curtis and Namgoong are stuck towards the door written W, the pair argues as Namgoong thought they can survive outside of the train. Curtis sobs while telling him that during the early days on the train, Gilliam gave his arm to Curtis who then ate it as Curtis was about to eat the baby Edgar along with other people committing cannibalism before they fed on the protein bars. When they argues again, Namgoong puts kronole to the door, but he is shot and both are interrupted and Curtis is invited by Wilford's assisstant, Claude. When Claude and Curtis sees Wilford, He reveals to Curtis that his revolution was currently orchestrated by himself and Gilliam to lower the population and maintain the balance of the sealed economic system, and subsequently orders the wipeout of 74% of the remaining tail passengers. Wilford shows Curtis a phone with the sound of Egg-head shooting the civilians at the back of train, much to Curtis' anger.
Death[]
Curtis beats Wilford and severs his arm in order to save Tanya's son, Timmy despite Andy's rejection to be saved. Yona activates the kronole and both Curtis and Namgoong sacrifices themselves to shield the explosion, killing Claude, Wilford and all other nearby, to save both Yona and Timmy.
