There are certain films that, when it comes to authors' directors, doubled as entrance points for newcomers. In most cases, they tend to be the films that acted as smashed films for their directors, those who have published it to American popular culture at all that they are a force to be considered. For South Korea's director, Bong Oonun Ho, that film is unequivocally "parasite", which took the United States with storms since its release in May 2019. The film was riding a wave of positive word for the 92nd awards of the Academy, where they are Was nominated for six Oscars and won four, including the best pictureMaking the first film ever-English that received that honor. In the one -year space, director Bong went from being known mostly in circles of Cinefil to the name of the household.

As a result of escaping the success of the "parasite", Bong Oonun Hoe was given what most directors who get the best picture and the best director, which is an effective opportunity to make an empty film for checking as the next project. That movie turns out to be This month "Mickey 17", And for those who have recently met director Bong through the "parasite", it can look like a particularly bizarre follow -up. At a visual and narrative level, "Mickey 17" is absolutely unwavering science-fiction film filled with spaceships, future technology (complete with Tehnobabel Exhibition) and shame. As such, for those who have seen only a "parasite", the curve of relativity in "Mickey 17" can be quite steep, enough that can awaken you. However, the film brings a ton of director Bong's signature, which acts as a culmination of his entire filmography so far. So, for those who decide to make the jump directly from the "parasite" to "Mickey 17", the experience could end up so much more rewarding and lighting.

I was lucky enough to see an early display of "Mickey 17" in Los Angeles, and the word I heard most among my present was "weird". Yes, "Mickey 17" is not the easiest swallowing premise, even if you are already a fan of science. Based on the 2022 Mickey 7 novel by Edward Ashton, the story refers to Mickey Burns (Robert Pattinson), reducing his man with happiness, chasing a shark to loan on a growing country. Asking to join the colonizing expedition as quickly as possible, Mickey blindly reports on duty as "consumed", which means he will donate his body to science ... In eternity, for every time he dies, he immediately reprints age with all his memories unchanged. In addition to this already Wacky Premise, Director Bong Adds in a otherly veiled amalgam analogue for some of our past (and, sadly, current) Unscrupulous Political Figures Ruffalo), a sociological and ecological crisis that develops on the human colonists Land on their new home of nilfheim and discover an indeginous special that they have found in two places in the mickey. After he left dead but failed to die.

It is obvious to get a lot, and for those who are no longer discharged from the genre, it can be too strange (there is a word again). While Mickey 17 has all these scientific traps that can deter those that are easier to lock in Parable for a relative class "parasite"However, it tells just as rich and attractive allegory. The theme of class disparity in oppressive capitalist society is covered throughout Mickey 17, which is seen in everything, from Mickey's spent to embarrassing and demoralizing positions, other members of the spacecraft are forced to fulfill them (including one -time supporter). If you wanted the "parasite" for his social comment, you will find an abundance of wealth in Mickey 17. You just have to learn to love creepers, and fortunately, it's not a huge question, because they are cute!

If the only director of the bong film you've seen is a "parasite", then you have a really great cinema to discover it in front of you, especially if you finish digging "Mickey 17". In addition to the film containing a good amount of "parasite" thematic DNA, there are a number of elements of several other previous Bong Oonun Ho films that can be found during the film. The main among these is the material of his two other features in English to date, 2013 "Snowpiercer" And 2017 "Ohya". In the former, director Bong adapts to the French scientific graphic novel, a story of the future where the country is so devastated after the catastrophic attempt to resolve climate change that is frozen, leaving the last remnants of the human race to endlessly surround the world of eternal driving train. Like "Mickey 17" and "Parasite", "Snowier" uses visual iconography to distinguish their characters according to their class, with poor passengers on the back of the train literally fight on the road to the front.

Meanwhile, in Okaya, director Bong shows an alternative today, where scientists have devised a way to grow a "super pig", a creature that aims to serve as a new, superior food source. Unfortunately, the accident of capitalism is re -cultivating its ugly head, with the unscrupulous corporation Mirando made a point of harassment of these animals (including the titular super pig), leading to an activist group trying to save the creatures. This concept makes a return to "Mickey 17" thanks to Marshal's wife, Ilfa (Tony Collet), becoming obsessed with creeping and using their tails to make various gourmet sauces. Talking about creepers, there are echoes of director Bong's film in 2006 "The host" And in them, as long as they are Kiaiu -like creatures, which may not necessarily be true (or just) monsters around.

After all, however, if "Mickey 17" ends to slap you, it's probably a good thing. There is no better way to expand your artistic horizons from good shaking, because it is a kind of experience that ends for a long time. More often than not, you will find that your expectations are rising and the boundaries are imposed (again, artistic) will only deepen your interests and tastes, it makes you in new places where you may not have gone before. Are those places Other dystopian scientific moviesThe rest of the work of director Bong, or a combination of the two, then "Mickey 17" can be a brand new portal movie for you and hundreds of others. To paraphrase Johnon Lennon: all we are talking about is to give Mickey a chance.
