With President Donald Trump in the White House, all kinds of media and art will feel that he is commenting on him and his followers. Some of them will be subtle; Bong Joon Ho Mickey 17 It is not.
The famous director of the scathing satire Parasite Returns with a parable established in the future where the earth is a global disaster caused by man. There, a failed politician, who has an inclination to pursue his lips when he proclaimed, launches a spacecraft, supplied with many of his dedicated followers. Red baseball covers embroidered with their motto and expect to create a “pure planet” in the stars.
It is overwhelming. And honestly, similarities with the United States under Trump could damage any hope of escapism. But notably, Mickey 17 The name of the narcissistic billionaire who is his villain is not taken. This heartbreaking and inventive adventure is named after Joe’s average that vanished in a spacecraft and in a massive destination change.

The backdrop for Mickey 17 It is one of global politics, economic inequality and fear as a recruitment tool. But the core of history is a good heart fool called Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson). Fleeing a ruthless loan shark, Mickey takes any work he can to obtain outside Planet, registering to be a “expendable” without reading the small print in his contract. What is spoiled is to become the single -colony shock test doll. He will be killed again and again on behalf of science, only to be printed again, with all his memories (life and death).
Despite dying as a fairly common part of its routine, Mickey develops a life with the Living Wire Soldier Nasha (Flash twiceNaomi Ackie). But after a mission became strange, he returns to his bed to find not only his lover but another. Mickey 18 (also played by Pattinson) was printed because the crew assumed that Mickey 17 was dead. More bad news: “multiples” have a bad reputation, which means that their simultaneous existence could lead the two killed forever, without more human impressions.
Like Tom Cruise in Edge of tomorrow (also known as Live dies repeating), Pattinson plays the clown in a montage of Daffy’s death, softening the blow of his repeated disappearance with a mixture of physical comedy and a playful piano pianking score and fainting ropes. But where the Public Relations Man of the Army of Cruise was a arrogant son of a dog, Mickey 17 of Pattinson is a real fool.

In an interview with Empire, Pattison said he had tried to imitate Donkey The star Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville in her double roles of mickeys 17 and 18, but Bong brought down the idea. Even so, fans of the acrobatics and Shenanigans franchise could still listen to Steve-O in the hoarse but open tone of Pattison. And it is an intelligent allusion, subtly calling the X generation and millennials to remember the adorable fool that would risk its own neck (or backpack) to please others. It is not that Mickey is considered noble in his human guinea-pigging. He is happy to be useful, thinking that it is good for much more. On the contrary, Mickey 18 is abrasive and volatile, less inclined to bend a knee to the powers that will be. To survive, they must join forces or turn to each other. And their decisions cause electrifying agitation in their space colony.
Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette give Trump an indication of Okja

The two artists acclaimed by critics are intelligently matched as the Kenneth Marshall fanfare and his wife to the right YLFA. Where the inhabitants of the spacecraft eat the gray gray mud and use uniforms to coincide, these two know their high state and their obscene wealth, dressing in striking suits adorned with bright rivets or dresses so tight and violent color are a visual ambush . As he did in the science fiction thriller Insignificant and fantasy shells Okja, Bong draws a dramatic contrast between the Swiss, who feel that their wishes are exactly what they should regardless of human cost, and the abrupt but adorable they do not have, which is expected to last in the mud and the remains.
Ruffalo covers the scarf of this political action, with distracted and distracted veneers while mimicing Trump’s characteristic and mercurial nature. Collette’s YLFA is less linked to contemporary American politics. However, his fixation in luxuries, such as ornate furniture and exotic sauces, reflects the consumerist colonialism that Bong openly condemns through his work. There is a deliberate madness in these high representations, where the caustic couple is urged to each other’s acts of spooky violence in the name of their planetary conquest. And yet, since so far in the future Mickey 17 It’s ready, he doesn’t feel so far.
Mickey 17 It is not a book of resistance plays but a parable of hope.

When cultures collide in Bong’s films, they often do it with black humor and a juicy gender show, a kind of sweet cover so that medicine decreases more easily. Mickey 17 itself is a sugary hero, whose softness is ridiculed by more cynical crew members. However, this ride for companions of confrontation team, including Ackie, Steven Yeun and Patsy Ferran, bring their own tasty charms through scenes that involve perverted sex, party drugs and animal noises. Then, all this folds into an alien world, where the natives are a convincing cross between the insects of the pills and the elephants, soft and corridors but potentially powerful. Unexpectedly, they become a Mickey 17 smart mirror, underestimated but ultimately extraordinary. And that is the lesson.
Mickey 17 is not hard or intelligent or even particularly special. It is an average drug that has been diving by a bad business after another. But in Mickey 17He is the hero, thrown into an extraordinary circumstance that challenges him to adapt or die. But the adaptation does not demand that it become difficult as 18. And in that Bong it offers a ray of hope for those who oppose a brutal authority.
The trip that Mickey continues is winding and wild, which makes the conventional flow of a science fiction action film, being only science fiction and just an action. Instead, Mickey 17 He plays as a political comedy with a crossed flash, finally urges the audience to see the similarities, and may find our own interior mickey 17.
Mickey 17 It opens only in theaters on March 7, 2025.
