Released this year, Mickey 17 by Bong Joon-ho’s is a sci-fi film that does more than show some action scenes. This film stars Robert Pattinson, best known for his role in “Twilight,” as Mickey, a worker on a spaceship who is cloned every time he dies. His death goes on to have a deeper meaning towards his identity and what it means to truly be a human.

This film was based on Edward Ashton’s novel Mickey7 and introduces the world from the novel where people like Mickey, are seen as replaceable because they are easy to clone. Mickey gets his memories transferred back into his brain every time he dies, so that he can continue right where he left off. It slowly became increasingly harder for him to accept the concept of his job as he keeps “dying” because he starts to realize that he isn’t exactly the same person each time. Questions arise as one keeps watching and it makes you wonder whether memories alone give a person their personality traits or if there is more to it.

The visuals the film shows brings Mickey’s journey story to life. The setting in the alien planet is beautiful with its white snow but it is also eerie because of how empty it seems. Bong is an alien in the planet who brings more emotion to the action, which keeps the movie entertaining while also giving the audience time to think more on Mickeys life.

Pattison is a great actor who is able to bring out the films deep meaning

of one’s self-worth. He does this by making his emotions look and feel real by showing how he is struggling with his own existence. He also has his cast members around him, helping him add to the emotion and the impact to this movie.

The film Mickey 17 is an exciting sci-fi film whose deeper purpose is to make the audience think more deeply. It’s a must-watch for anyone who enjoys watching intelligent science fiction films.
