Music evokes various emotions in people—whether it be sadness or happiness—and triggers emotional sensations that have never been felt before.

Through a religious lens or even just during troubled times, it has allowed us to look on the bright side as well as get closer to our faiths. However, the question is: why has it been the bearer of faith for all these years?

WHO IS SUNWAY BIG TALK?

Anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski noted in his essay that a great deal of talk does not serve any purpose of communicating ideas but establishes bonds of personal union. This concept holds the foundation for the fresh club that kicked off at the beginning of 2020-SUNWAY BIG TALK. ‘Human Connection’ is an important aspect that a simple conversation always fails to emphasize. Small talk, or better known by the Oxford Dictionary as a polite conversation about unimportant matters, does not fit the description to connect with people on a profound emotional and intellectual level.

Snowpiercer is an American, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi series about a perpetual-engine-train on which humanity must survive after the world has frozen to death. Its story is based on a 2013 film by the same name directed by Oscar winning ‘Parasite’ director Bong Joon-Ho. The film was originally based on an 1892 French graphic novel called Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob. The show went through a turbulent development phase to then be released to an onslaught of criticism for deviating from the original film’s plot. Despite this, it managed to garner decent popularity among its audience.
