      Returning to the elderly woman, travelling with her sister - both now & on my first viewing, I felt powerfully that the two are meant as a thematic nod to the complex history of the two Koreas, particularly as they are separated by a twisted, infected soldier falling between them

      The elder sister dresses plainly, is humble & thoughtful, trying to look out for her haughtier, more fancily dressed younger sister, who at one point, when the zombies are still thought of as rioters, mentions that "in the old days, they would've been reeducated."

      After being separated by the soldier, the sisters get a parting glimpse of each other as Yon-suk tries to stop Seok-woo & the other survivors entering his carriage; when they finally break in pursued by zombies, the elder sister smiles & sacrifices herself to save the others.

      The younger (but still elderly) sister, stricken by this, dissociates herself from Yon-suk & the others, who have overlooked her. She watches her zombie-sister through the door, touches the glass - an echoed gesture - and opens the door to let in carnage as vengeance.

      By the end of the film, the lone survivors are Su-an and the pregnant Seong-kyong, having reached Busan due to a cycle of empathy: their own towards others - it's Seong-kyong who points out Seok-woo was initially selfish b/c of fear - and of others towards them.

      There's definitely a women-and-children-first flavour to their survival, but in this context, it's not remotely chauvinist: it's old-school human survival, an acknowledgement that children are the future that needs protecting, and that they are what must be saved.

      (This is likewise paralleled again between Yon-suk & Seok-woo: whereas the former throws a teenage girl to the zombies to try and save himself, Seok-woo ultimately dives from the train when infected to protect Su-an and Seung-kyeong.)

      And then, the perfect gracenote to a story about how classism poisons survival, the necessity of children for a future and the vital importance of empathy: the significance of Su-an's song.

      At the start of the film, Seok-woo is a distracted, divorced father, too busy at work to attend Su-an's class recital. He watches a video of her starting a song but failing to complete it. She later tells him she practised it for him and couldn't sing because he wasn't there.

      In the film's final scene, a shellshocked Su-an & Seong-kyeong stagger through a railway tunnel towards soldiers who, at a distance, cannot distinguish their shuffling from that of zombies. Their orders are to shoot them if they cannot verify their humanity.

      And then, through her sobs, Su-an finally finishes the song meant for her now-dead father - he told her early on to always finish what she starts - and the music, amplified by the tunnel, proves their humanity to the soldiers. Because you need *culture* to be human, too.
