Parasite Win Palm d’Or in 2019. This is the first Korean film to win the award. Then, in 2020, it won the best picture for the Oscar. Again, this is the first non-English language film to win the award. There are only four movies in the history of the cinema that have won the Palm D’Or and the Oscar for Best Picture. Film director, Bong Joon-Hogive blank checks to end all blank checks. The sky is the limit. After achieving the impossible, he can make any movie he wants. Then what did he do? He made a stupid Hollywood science fiction movie Robert Pattinson Seventeen times killed.
Mickey 17 (Loosely adapted from Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey 7) is the story of Mickey, a future man who signed up for space colonization to escape his own debt. His spacecraft registered him as “expendable” and supported his genetic data and memory. Then, every time they die, they print a new Mickey. Whether it is through cosmic radiation, accidents or viruses. One day, Mickey’s seventeenth iteration survived unexpectedly after falling into an alien’s nest on the planet Niflheim. However, when he returned to the base, he found that they had printed Mickey 18.
If parasites are the death trap of a carefully constructed movie, Mickey 17 He is a stupid person. The role is wider. The plot strolls rather than tightly entangles. Robert Pattinson tells this two-hour joke and high-concept science fiction in full voice actor mode. If you like him Miyazaki ShinThat movie’s English dubbing of Heron, wait until you meet Mickey 17, this is an unfortunate mouse, a little guy, man!
So, it’s not a danger of winning any Academy Awards. But I don’t think this is what Bon tries to do here. His Hollywood movies, like Snowpiercer and OKJAalways bigger and more tolerant than his Korean job. Mickey 17 Shared spiritual generosity. This is not to be precise. It wants to be an American movie, an animation. Maybe even a comic book.
It’s no secret that Bong is a comic fan. He is the one who recommends that director Park wooden cow read Old boy Before Park even pitched on film projects. He’s also demeaning Naoki Urasawa ((as!) and Taiyang Matsumoto ((Tokyo these days) Mickey 17 The best thing is the comic series feels like you mix it up Nobuyuki FukamotoBlue-collar thriller Gambling Apocalypse: KAIJI Plus Reiichi Sugimoto and Shinkichi Kato‘ Kokumin Quiz.
Mickey 17The actors become comics. No one does better than Robert Pattinson. It’s as if you divided the hero Kaiji of Fokento in the middle and made his survival instinct and hatred unite two different people with fear of death.
The rest are on the map. Mark RuffaloAs the leader of the space expedition, as far as Donald Trump’s speech influences, it could be distracting. Curly tone Playing his wife is the most evil white woman in the world. Their personality is so big that they can’t help but cleanse the actors with smaller roles Anamaria Vartolomei. Just in the middle Naomi AcckaHe found the humanized thread between two or three ridiculous cliches that Bong asked her to play at a time.
The actors spit out blocks of letters of dialogue, as if engraved in a comic, not what the real person might say. I suspect this was intentional. It’s a big, mesmerizing film: endless ice rinks, smoke explosions, Pattinson’s half-image pounces on the ground. Everything in the movie can reach this level. Over time, I began to see conversations as suggestions for what the audience feels more than reality at any time.
Hollywood largely gave up on the wonders. Except for people like this Denis Villenuve,,,,, George Miller Occasionally Christopher Nolanmost large blockbuster mixes evenly set patterns that were done better thirty or forty years ago. On the other hand, Bong Joon Ho and Mickey 17. This movie’s alien designs are especially from such Owner and OKJA At the same time, you need to gain your own charm. They are both cute and terrifying when the situation calls for it. At the end of the movie, aliens go all out to protect their homes, just like the scene It’s Zhu Ji Comics in the best way.
Mickey 17 The social comments presented were also preserved Parasite Such a painful watch. This is not only another film about how the unwanted people in society are subject to the torture of the cruel rich. Bong predicted somehow (whether by chance or through the power of reshooting) the assassination of Donald Trump in 2024. Of course, South Korea has its own political history that it hates. I wouldn’t be surprised if the film’s emphasis on the connection between religion and fascism is to revival in a unified church or an evangelical Baptist church. But it does see Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette insist that they will build a “pure white” residence on the planet of Niflheim, just deported by a black woman with a political future.
Where Mickey 17 and Parasite It has a happy ending. Evil is defeated, and humanity chooses to embrace a more just and equitable future rather than succumb to fear. Interestingly, this happened in a movie about a little guy like Mickey, when Parasite rest. Again, I think that’s the point. Mickey may be a sad sack, but he is not evil. He deserves happiness and a bowl of chicken shavalma, just like any Marvel hero.
Mickey 17 That’s the kind of movie that can only be green afterwards Parasite. No one has made a medium-sized high-concept science fiction movie anymore. Bong Joon-ho saw an opportunity to make great alien effects for the audience, and he accepted the film. The window of opportunity has been closed. Since then, David Zazlav has invaded and cut down through Warner Bros., while Trump’s America is now attacking “progressive” art. I don’t know how many movies we’ll see: Populist genre movies are not based on large property and freely mix political comments with sexual jokes. This is not my favorite Bong Joon-Ho movie, but I’m glad it exists.
Mickey 17 is now available to watch in the theater.
