The audience will recognize Mark Ruffalo’s character in ”Mickey 17“-A megalomanical dictator in a dystopian future who, along with her winding wife played by Toni Collette, is hell bent to colonize an ice plane populated by sensitive creatures-like any of the familiar autocrats currently in global power . Kenneth Marshall, as he is known, monitors a 3D cloning process there Robert Pattinon’s Mickey Dies over and over while performing dangerous tasks needed to understand how life can be lived on this new planet, just to regenerate again. Ruffalo plays Marshall with brilliant white veneers and a slightly affected accent who will undoubtedly think of President Trump.
But before filmBerlinale -premiere on February 15, director Bong Joon Ho Did not spell exactly that he modeled the character after Trump; He is more of a merger of the faces of many current power.
“Mark Ruffalo is a character that embodies the dictators of the past we have experienced, and that’s how I came up with this character,” Bong said via translator. “He has in a comical way all the faces of the bad politicians we have experienced. Of course, I had some people that I took as a reference, such as bad Korean politicians but not actual politicians right now. It seems you have some politicians in modern times that you are thinking about, but I made this character drawing inspiration from the past. Since the story always repeats itself, it may seem like I refer to someone in the present. Although I do something that thinks about an event earlier, it also seems to cover current events. It felt very realistic. “
Bong, who expects such a question, added, “This type of reaction is a reaction for which I am very grateful. I want to do science fiction that is very human and unusual for the genre, science fiction in itself. Even the character Toni (Collette Plays) is not a character that is often shown in science-fiction movies. We also have many young people in this room, and I got this movie to think that the situation in the movie is one you can experience in your life. “
Bong was united by its role at BerlinalIncluding Steven Yeun, Collette (who signed on the film without even reading the script), Pattinson, Naomi Ackie and Anamaria Vartolomei (Breakout of 2021 Venice Golden Lion Winner “Happen.”)
But in addition to the film’s political allegory or parable of colonization, “Mickey 17” is also playful, largely comic sci-fi, based on Edward Ashon’s 202 novel “Mickey7”, with Plan B Entertainment’s Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner brought “Parasite” 2022 “Oscar winner and Warner Bros. Robert Pattinson plays several MickeysBut in large parts of the film, the screen is in dual roles such as Mickey 17 and Mickey 18, after a “multiples” deviation still leaves two of them alive. They both tangled over Nasha (Ackie), who is Mickey 17’s girlfriend on board the ship intended to colonize the ice plane, but she has eventually activated (while she jumped on an opioid -like drug that has become an epidemic aboard the ship) The idea to sleep with both.
“It’s not a threesome,” Bong said. “It’s the love between Mickey and Nasha, but Mickey has become two Mickeys, but still this is a love story, and I have never filmed a love story, a melodramatic movie and to be honest I want to make movies of all genres. It is my Life goals, although I am a little afraid of musicals … The love story is also related to the different parts of the film. You have many violent scenes and as you said in the film, just as in reality, there are many political, many frightening things, but in The end, Mickey can survive and that is all thanks to the love he was (for) Naomi, for Nasha.
“Mickey 17” opens on March 7.
