In “Mickey 17,” Bong Joon-ho rips into Trump with a rousing, space-set satire

After 34 days Bong John Hu Dark comedy “Parasite” to make date At the Academy Awards ceremony by becoming the first non -English movie to win the Academy Award for the Best Photo, the world is that he has greatly mocked his struggling movie. As soon as it seems that this victory is preparing Open uninterrupted doors For international cinema, rapid spread of Covid-19 Criticize those doors closed again. After days, Donald Trump I started to refer to Covid in the name of “”Chinese virus“The term phobia and racist borders critics to caution It will contribute to the already increasing numbers of hate and racist crimes against the Asian American population in the United States and the Asian origins worldwide. The number of American -Asian hatred crimes rose By 145 % during the next year, while Trump’s response, which turns on foot, and hate terms for foreigners were fatal ripples around the world, which we are still competing today.
With his goal on the horizon, Bong spend two hours taking strikes in Trump, ethnic disinfection, elite response to air causes of air, human goods, and obsessed with the white -disgusting white people.
In the very expected Bong follow -up for his 2019 pioneering beating, The Sensational Robert Pattinson “Mickey 17”, the South Korean writer and director is determined to keep all this horror at the forefront of your mind. That accuracy was not one of the powerful Pong suits. “Mickey 17” is the first movie to reach English since 2017 “for the year 2017”Oaka“Such a film about a girl befriending a wonderful pig that is caught by the meat industry – along with almost all other works – Pong is not fully interested in the concept of sub -text.
With “Mickey 17”, Bong uses its acquired position as the industry Titan and the new standing as the best movie director with pictures to tear any scraps from the thin veil that was hanging on his satire to reveal his hateful face of tyranny to his largest audience so far. With his goal on the horizon, Bong spend two hours taking strikes in Trump, ethnic disinfection, elite response to air causes of air, human goods, and obsessed with the white -disgusting white people.
However, despite its public topics, “Mickey 17” never feels clarification thanks to Bong’s talent that is not written to write characters. Its progress, Mickey Barnes from Pattinson, is Dubi, immediately loved “consumers”, was abandoned into space to be the human Guinea pig that will be a pivotal colonization of a remote planet. Mickey Bong’s rubber nature with many opportunities for humor. Although the film sometimes does not worry about making all its social accompanies, Pattinson’s flexible shows, with two Mickeys, the frenzy of Bong sensitivity to make “Mickey 17”, complements one of the most experienced cinematic experiences this year.

Although it depends on Edward Ashton’s novel “Mickey7”, the Bong movie is a re -imagination of Ashton, tearing it and reassembled to fit the favorite Auteur tone. In 2054, the seventeenth edition of Mickey on Nifleheim, along with a group of hundreds of other colonial areas, led by Commander Kenneth Marshall (Mark RovaloHe and his wife, but similarly, morals, ylfa (Tony Colette). Mickey is the only consumer of the mission, simply because he is the only one who has participated in this role. Despite the increasingly unbearable conditions on earth, the opportunity to suffer from a variety of painful deaths over and over again is not something that most people jump.
Mickey, unfortunately, does not have this privilege. He was underdeveloped a trade loan with a fatal benefit, thanks to his friend Timo (Stephen YunPersidy that “pasta will sell better than burgers.” Inevitably, the wonderful and wonderful French cookie store is exposed, and its lethal sharks intends to follow it to the ends of the Earth to collect the payment in the form of parts of the cut body. Mickey leaves an impossible option: spending his single life in running from death, spending eternity to death and is born again as a consumed, and we hope that he will enjoy some of his presence along the way.

Mickey chooses the latter, donating his live science body for a task that is very controversial for our planet. After he got out of a failed profession in politics, Kenneth makes his own mixture of magic and commodities to use the force he left in the government to become the leader of the colonial mission, where Mickey will be pivotal. Do you need a person to fix a part on the spacecraft and expose themselves for deadly radiation? Call Mickey. Do you need someone to test a new artificial pain reliever with brutal side effects? Mickeys 11 and 12 are your comrades. Do you need someone to take the first steps on Niflheim to inhale the planet’s poisonous air so that the laboratory can make the vaccine? You get the idea.
After every death, Micky’s awareness is planted again in his physical form – sometimes the character contrast. This reads like a little paradox from Bong, given that “Mickey 17” can be considered an “oka” echo,Snownpiercer“The parasite” and “the host”, they were all merged in one movie that is the closest that he has ever reached into a movie. While director Cherry-Bicks shows his favorite topics for a wide audience, anyone heading to Bong John-Ho movie in the hope that the ambiguity is looking at the wrong place. What distinguishes Bong as a writer and director is that, without being taught, understands how He urged his viewing by focusing on the dark facts of the daily life, most of us are very good in ignoring.
Often, I look at the news and wonder, “What is the right of hell that we are supposed to do?” Here, Pong argues that to split our way, we must first accept the absurd position of the situation.
In “Mickey 17”, his first opponent is Trump, who criticize “The parasite” is as hostile to the United States. Bong Tramb Trump of any dignity that the president left sitting to reduce him to a caricature in Kenneth the Great in Rovalo. (Think of the sex -filled version of the evil Swinton evil in the “OKJA”.) Kenneth cannot hide the enthusiasm of his enthusiasm to move away from the Earth to the iceberg of Nelvehim, and called for the atmosphere that will soon become “a pure white planet full of outstanding people” in a group of voicing the screening of the screen in particular.
Whether this Trumpian sterile simulation is supposed to be launched a year ago when “Mickey 17” was originally launched, before it was returned as a result of SAG and WGA strikes – it really doesn’t matter. Bong’s shrewd image of a chopping dictator is more shredded when she thinks that or not the violent narcissism of Kenneth regardless of whether Trump is in his position or not. There have always been politicians like Kenneth, and it will always be. Although the character may be dim, his authority comes from strengthening this stupidity with political policy. Bong walks an accurate line between being terrible and punching, and the text program sometimes falls on the last side with some of the most vulgar resistance messages. However, the familiar images of heaviness in “Mickey 17” explode enough to make the movie feel comfortable at increasing times. Often, I look at the news and wonder, “What is the right of hell that we are supposed to do?” Here, Pong argues that to split our way, we must first accept the absurd position of the situation.
On an equal footing, they are Ylfa’s Collette’s, which is Hellbent to master the sauces and dressings, which see it as the highest sensory experience one can get. Hobby from Ylfa’s Cockamiee is ridiculous, but she is no less dangerous than her husband, and cholet is the perfect extension of Rovalo’s joyful and fun performance. Pong brings the same grasum from Naomi Aki, who plays the role of Mickey Nasha’s friend, one of Kenneth’s few defects in the mission alongside Mickey. The presence of an incandescent Ackie screen and its innate monitoring is second after Pattinson, which gives Mickey Nasha excitement when, during a routine reconnaissance mission that ends with the supposed death, was printed in the name of Mickey 18.

Except, Mickey 17 is still alive, and now there are two types of consumer, a phenomenon known as complications prohibited by law. The punishment for complications is to burn every body and wipe the original awareness, which completely exterminates a person. Although Micky used to death, the permanent disappearance is not possible, and Pong gets an opportunity to bring some humor late among the doubles as they discover how to avoid falling. Pattinson’s double shows, each of which has its own unique dodgers, is a joy to watch it, and his voice works at a time when Mickey 17 works as one of the most interesting artists today – an ideal match for films such as Pong, whose films require an eccentric artist equally.
Bong and Batinson together created the extensive exit feature so far, and certainly his most attractive movie in English so far. The construction of the world for “MICKEY 17” is economical, and the design of the original strange species in Niflheim – whose tails may only add perfect Umami to a completely new sauce – it is a scene. Although the film does not aim to be the “Mickey 17” with Bong, Micky 17 aims to meditate on a comprehensive image of the world today, indicating that, with our progress, we stay in contact with our humanity will be very important. With “Mickey 17”, Bong JON-Ho is not sacrificing his integrity to make a large group of crowds. Instead, it uses a fresh global platform to assume that there is nothing more important than keeping your soul close to you in everything you do, regardless of how strong the person who is trying to take it from you.
“Mickey 17” in theaters in the country March 7.
