(toSkanews) – After the huge success of “Parasite”, winner of four Oscar awards, the South Korean director Bong Joon I brought to the cinema on March 6 “Mickey 17”, science fiction film presented in these days in preview at the Berlin Festival. The protagonist is an unlikely hero, Mickey Barnes, played by Robert Pattinson. He is a “sacrificable” employee according to his company and is sent to advance on a frozen planet in view of a future colonization.
Every time a Mickey replica dies a new clone is regenerated, through a 3D printer, which contains its memories intact. The director said: “There are many cases of accidents and deaths at work in Korea, even young men: we talk about it a little in the media and then I disappear, until something happens to another. People who do dangerous jobs are all Mickey, and they are in Korea as in Italy. In this sense, the film looks a lot like reality. “
But it is not the only reference to the reality of the film. In fact, Mark Ruffalo plays a billionaire who wants to colonize a new planet through this expedition of “sacrificable”. And it is very reminiscent of a certain Musk. “Mark Ruffalo is a mix of all the most horrendous leaders we have today, or that we had – said the director – next to him I created a character, played by tones Collette, which makes everything even more ridiculous and monstrous. All dictators have this strange charm: they can be the worst human beings but when they are in front of a crowd they know how to behave. They become seductive, fascinating, they know how to entertain people. This makes everything more dangerous, we are always at risk ”.
