These are the things I've noticed...
1) The subway is hell. Bulcsú is being punished by some reason and he can't leave the subway because it is his hell. This reminded of the Greek Myth, the name I cannot remember and I can't find it on the Internet because I don't know what to search, but in the myth the hero's wife dies and she is sent to hell and he must save her from hell. I think that the girl in the bear suit is the hero in that Greek myth. She is trying to save him from his hell.
2) Bulcsú's face gets progressively more bloody as the movie goes on. I don't know what this mean, maybe something about his punishment, but I thought that it was a really cool thing.
3) Because it is filmed in an active subway system, it has all the real dirt and other gross stuff that lives in the underground. This makes for a really cool effect of the setting of the movie. So many movie aren't this way, and no movie that I've seen felt this real.
4) My favorite scene is the dream scene. The girl in the bear suit with the red flare thing is incredible. In the dirty subway, it makes it look majestic and surreal and I love that.
5) I like how they showed Bulcsú had another life before his Kontroll job, but they don't give too much detail because they don't have to. This also helps me understand that maybe Bulcsú is being punished for his life before.
The one thing that sticks to me is the idea of coming out of hell. Being trapped and then saved, or rather, being trapped and then killing the thing that keeps you there (the person who is pushing people into the trains). There was this weird feeling as I was watching it, it felt uncomfortable, and it made the movie better for some reason. I felt enclosed and that helped with the idea that Bulcsú was being punished.
