10 Insanely Accurate Movie Details You Never Noticed

One of the 2010s' most underrated offerings, Bong Joon-Ho's Snowpiercer is an audaciously visceral watch. The 2013 film depicts the class struggle aboard the titular locomotive, following an extinction event that wiped out the planet's population.

Snowpiercer is laden with darkly inscrutable detail from start to finish, but the best comes around the halfway mark. In the build-up to a horrific massacre perpetrated against the tail section's inhabitants, a violinist can be seen playing a haunting score. Upon closer examination, his instrument is revealed to only have one string left - breaking in jarring fashion just before the slaughter commences.

This represents a marvelously credible detail in itself as violin strings would have likely perished in the time since the end of humanity. However, the intricacy behind this visual element runs far deeper. The solitary remaining string happens to be the G-string - the lowest note on the violin, as well as the thickest and strongest iteration.

As such, it makes perfect sense that this would be the final string to break.
