So, I rented Snowpiercer this weekend and OH. MY. GOD. I am fully on board.*I also read this io9 article on how Gnosticism influenced the movie. This theory speaks to most of my sensibilities, considering I was required to take an extraordinary amount of theology in college and Gnosticism was, by far, my favorite to study.**To play off that theme a little, here’s a couple of articles on JSTOR to provide some background on Gnosticism:The Present State of Gnostic StudiesOphite Gnosticism, Sethianism, and The Nag Hamadi Library - don’t get weirded out by this title like I did, they explain everything in the first paragraph.Go read The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels.*Bad train puns are bad.**Except for the time I got really enamored with the religion that W.B. Yeats MADE UP, but that’s another story. -- source link
