The director exchanges the suspense refined for a more scaled approach, resulting in an ambitious sci-fi, but it can divide the public.
Don’t wait for one Parasite 2much less one Memories of a Killer (2003) in Mickey 17. That subtlety and mastery when creating a suspense becomes much more explicit. That way, BongJoon-ho Makes a movie that has the potential to divide the audience – after all, it is complicated to accept movies with a more caricature approach.
In this new production, we follow a scientific fiction that revolves around Mickey (Robert Pattinson,The Batman), a medium man and very conformed. After creating a huge debt with a cruel loan from the planet in which he lives, he and his friend Timo (Steven Yeun, The bullshit) decide to embark on a colonization trip led by Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo, Poor creatures), dubious politician and fanatical voters.
Because it is not the most talented man that exists, the character becomes an expense – a person who serves for testing, risky missions and dies for the success of the housing of new planets (basically a slightly larger and human laboratory mouse).
Given all this essential information to understand the plot and proposed criticism, I need to say that classic: “Movies are individual products, so there is no way to make comparisons with the book.” Not only me, but the director himself took this to the strict with the book of Edward Ashton, Mickey7. In the work, the origin of the characters is quite different and the respective personalities are not the same as we have seen here.
The use of “17” instead of “7” also fosters the premise of a work filled with exorbitant moments. Against this is in the exhibition script, which, with 2 hours and 19 minutes, is almost unbearable to see the characters explaining in dialogues everything they feel, think and do. Apart from humor, very ironic and scients, but most of the time, it is unsuccessful to take laughs.
The well -executed aspects of Mickey 17They are on account of the action scenes, creation of this sci-fi world and performances. This successful combo makes the feature as good as others of its kind. Robert Pattinsonfor example, delivers several different “Mickeys”, where it modulates one’s voice and body, bringing a “soul” to versions 17 and 18 (the protagonists)
About that, Steven Yeun, Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette (Mafia Mamma) They act as if they are fun. This brings a tasty look to the movie and you can
Feeling they were comfortable in those unilateral characters. Already Naomi Ackie(Twice), I must say that the more I see her acting, the more I love this woman. Your character is one of the few people who really like Mickey and that’s very special; She is an actress who brings a lot of truth and sensuality to her roles – it is worth connecting in productions with her name involved.
At the end, Mickey 17 It’s an interesting trip, with the face of a BONG JOON-HO “Loose”, but that leaves you with a bitter taste for not being expected of the director.
The film is already playing in Brazilian theaters.
