▶ A world view that only director Bong Joon Ho can do

The first point of praise is the world view of director Bong Joon-ho's wit, wit, and originality. From the background of a planet that mankind wants to pioneer in 2054 to the setting that humans can be printed through human printers, to the alien life creepers that have an unexpected charm unlike their appearance, to Mickey's job of death. Following 'Snowpiercer'Parasite'Okja', Bong Joon-ho's unrivaled creativity is giving the audience a fresh shock again this time.

▶ Robert Pattinson → 1st villain Mark Ruffalo

The second point of favorable reviews is the acting transformation of actors who have challenged new characters that have not been shown before. First, Robert Pattinson, who tried to play two roles for the first time, perfectly pulled off two characters at the same time: Mickey 17, who is clumsy and timid, Mickey 18, who is bold and tough. In particular, Robert Pattinson, who plays Mickey 17, is leading an explosive response from fans by demonstrating an unlimited acting spectrum by showing a tone, voice and expression that he has never seen in his previous work. Mark Ruffalo, who played the role of Kenneth Marshall, the villain of the movie, and played his first villain role, is also a hot topic. Contrary to speaking as a charismatic leader or taking the death of the Expendables Mickey for granted more than anyone else, his ridiculous appearance of doing nothing without the opinion of his wife, Ilfa Marshall (Tony Collette), gives the audience a different sense of fun and is said to be a rediscovery of Mark Ruffalo.

▶ a fresh set-up, colorful discourse




The third point of favorable reviews is the message of 'Mickey 17', which eventually leads to our stories despite unfamiliar backgrounds and settings. Mickey's appearance of mechanically repeating death, realizing the value of himself, life, and death only in a multiplex situation in which another person has been printed, leaves a deep lingering image and a message worth poring over for the audience. In addition, through various factors such as the confrontation between humans and creepers in Mickey 17, the setting of the Expendables (consumables), conflicts between classes, occupational and labor ethics, discrimination and hatred prevalent in our society are drawing a variety of discourses.

A film adaptation of Edward Ashton's new novel `Mickey 7'Mickey 17 is a story about the unpredictable story of Mickey 18, who is reprinted when he dies as a consumable for dangerous work, thinking he is dead and printing Mickey 18 during his 17th death crisis. Robert Pattinson, Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Tony Collette and Mark Ruffalo appeared, and Bong Joong-ho, the director of 「Parasite」, took the megaphone.
