Quint: She [Mason] seems like a survivor. It's clear she'll do anything to get through the revolt, but I noticed you gave her that hand motion during the “everything and everyone in their place” speech that is mirrored at the end. I could be wrong, but I thought that implied she may have worked her way into her current position.
Bong Joon-ho: That's actually a good observation. I talked to Tilda about her character and I thought when she boarded the train she was probably in a lower class, but at some point caught the eye of Wilford and she climbed up into the Minister post. Maybe she was a cleaning lady when she first got on.
