Mickey 17
*You don’t look like you were printed out. You’re just a person.

While this movie seems comedic at first in the tone and dialogue, it is much deeper than that when you really analyze it. As technology becomes increasingly capable of replicating human life, questions about identity and individuality become more urgent. In Mickey 17, the repeated cloning of the protagonist challenges the idea of a stable and singular human self.
Robert Pattinson. as always, was great in this role. His range is really something else. Mark Ruffalo, however.. I didn’t enjoy his acting in this. I understand he’s supposed to be sort of insufferable, but it was a bit too hard to watch. One thing I really enjoyed about this film was the pacing. Even though it was a bit lengthy, it didn’t seem this way. Time passed quickly, and I was thoroughly invested the whole time.
Excellent flying triangle choke from Nasha at the end. Love to see it.
