on hbo max there is this really weird cut when marshall has one of his speeches. its terrible.
they cut out dialogue out of the scene but they also left a bit in so that you can still notice it.(also watch my newest film https://boxd.it/9XU0h7 )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly absurd space adventure where a disposable worker's repeated deaths become both tragicomic and oddly humanizing. It's funny because it's horrifying, and hopeful because it's ridiculous.

perfect first film to watch after realizing im trans, very sigma movie.
anyway on second watch i still love this fucking film, its fun, its got huge amount of character, its really funny and also i just love robert pattinson in this film. the fact it got thrown on digital not even a week after mediocre marketing was a shame but honestly the funniest part is that wb is doing it AGAIN with one battle after another wich is directed by paul thomas anderson.
i love how mickey 17 looks, i love cinematography of sci fi and sci fi made by an aclaimed director is 100% gonna look awesome. it doesn't have as much color variety but oh well.
Is it bong's best english film?
Yeah pretty much, the film has a strong personality.
I have read halfway threw the book and i think it retains allot of the charm the book has from its structure going from death to death in an almost backwards but still forwards way.
Of course because its a film it leaves allot of things out from the book and so far the biggest change i noticed is that the character played by steve yeun is called timo instead of berto.
Idk why they changed that, seems unnecesary.
The titular character(s) retain allot of they're original character traits from the books and on top off that, robert pattinson gives an amazing performance.
Overall the cast is great, the only one i found underutilized is toni collete because she did much more in the book then in the film.
I still liked her performance but her and the character aren't that memorable.
Marshall played by mark ruffalo is not a one to one with the book but i like the change because it fits with the time and how politics are right now.
Visually the film looks stunning but its no where near the level of cinematography as even mother i would say and im not the biggest fan of mother(at least the first time i watched it)
I think its the most non jarring english film off bong since while i love snowpiercer and i like okja, they definitly feel allot more on the nose and in your face and while i think mickey 17 still often does that, i think it has a stronger character to it and just more fleshed out characters and plot.
The book is still better but this film is great in its own right.
Is this how we find out Bong is a time traveler? I'm confused how this was filmed in 2022 but seems to be a satire of the Trump/Musk 2025 dynamic.
