HBO MaxAmazon Prime VideoHBO Max‘Mickey 17’ First Reactions Praise Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Zany’ and ‘Deeply Chaotic’ Return as the ‘Perfect Allegory for the Hellscape Stage of Capitalism We’re in’. By J. Kim Murphy.It’s been nearly six years since Bong Joon Ho‘s last feature “Parasite” debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, beginning a months-long rollout that ended with it becoming the first foreign language feature to win best picture at the Oscars.
While the humor of “Mickey 17” is wacky, the film takes its visual language seriously, which grounds the insane plot in a cohesive style and supports the movie’s larger themes. The movie is all about perspectives, and Bong repeatedly uses creative camerawork to literally place the viewer in a new point of view.Overall, Bong’s attention to detail in the film’s visuals gives “Mickey 17” a much-needed structure.
