"Our entire life is a punishment."
I really enjoyed Mickey-17. Usually I don't like many trashy sci-fi flicks, which on first glance is what I assumed this movie to be. But I was totally wrong! Mickey 17 is funny, heartfelt, and satirical while keeping the watcher wondering what will happen next.
I think that the character development between Mickey 17 and 18 was an interesting metaphor for self acceptance. And unique, too! Their dynamic was honestly a highlight of the movie (PS: I'm never forgiving Marshall for killing my goat. RIP 18).
I have sort of mixed feelings on Nasha? At first I thought she really only saw the Mickey doubles as an opportunity for sex, but in the end I guess not. You can tell she really does care about both of them so that makes a difference. Still that part was lowk weird.
Anyways, some additional stuff; Got to see Steven Yeun, hell yeah. I liked the alien critters, they reminded me of the demigorgons from Stranger Things.
And I guess I could also write about how the whole movie is a parody of the politics in America, but I'd say that's pretty obvious. Great film, would watch it again.
