    Mickey 17 is an absurdist, anti-capitalist, Trump-mocking masterpiece – review. > As Hollywood studios swiftly kowtow to the Republican regime, there’s a worry that Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s stark yet oddly life-affirming anti-capitalist sci-fi, will be one of the last honest pieces of art to slip under the gates. If that turns out to be true, we should treasure it all the more. The Korean auteur, off the back of his 2020 Best Picture win for Parasite, has taken $80m (£63m) of Warner Bros’s…

    A few days later Scott Foundas then at Variety got to see Bong’s cut in NYC & ran a rave review & Weinstein relented. I was at US premiere, I’ll never forget Bong intro’d it in front of Weinstein’s toadies “Welcome to my cut of Snowpiercer”. Bong finally talked about some of it here years later…

    Mickey 17, Bong Joon Ho's first movie since the Oscar-winning smash Parasite, is a darkly comic sci-fi fable that harks back to some of his earlier films (notably Snowpiercer & Okja): a savage political satire set in an icy dystopia, with Robert Pattinson in a double role. slate.com/culture/2025...

    I will take a thousand John Carpenter shooting the shit with Kurt Russell movies and a thousand Bong Joon Ho movies that are every genre simultaneously over one Oscar bait movie called the King’s Lament. Bong Joon Ho earns his Oscars by being fun when he’s serious. Snowpiercer had comedy dammit

    Grand Star (2007). So I found this one season (26 episode) extremely campy sci fi TV show -- a low budget 2007 Canadian production -- called Grand Star. Watched a few episodes last night. OMG it's so terrible it is awesome. It's like a B-grade GameCube era JRPG got crossed with Snowpiercer. I can't stop watching it somehow. Anyone else seen this amazing piece of ... something? ;)

    If you want a film that does class consciousness in an enclosed environment much better, Snowpiercer. If you want a scifi that does "this technology brings you back from the dead and is being misused by corporations and the political elite" I can't recommend the animated series Pantheon enough.

    Song Kang-ho - 📽️ Snowpiercer (Bong Joon-ho, 2014) An underdiscussed aspect of this film was the co-starring role for one of the best leading men alive. He’s the security specialist who trades monologues with Chris Evans in around the climax, and his haunted line reads couldn’t suit the movie more.

    it's not Bong's best work, and i think it loses a lot when held alongside Parasite or Snowpiercer, but it's a great film and one of the better sci-fi flicks in recent memory. i especially love how weird Ruffalo was able to get with his Falwell-cum-Trump character.

    I just watched Mickey 17. It's a decent film, but I struggle with Bong Joon Ho movies. I'm not sure what it is. I think the cartoonish style and humour undermine everything else, same with Snowpiercer and Okja, which were both just middling movies with some good bits. #Moviesky #Filmsky #scifi 📽️

    Okja (2017) - Bong Joon-ho work's between Snowpiercer and Parasite, and maybe my favorite. As he does, the film raises some questions about capitalism and the environment and the real costs of industrialization while being a rather charming tale about a little kid trying to rescue her titular pet.
