MICKEY 17 2025 | Bong Joon-ho

fallen angel gang! I love these two and need more of them together

I really enjoy neurodivergent readings of classic literature because the whole "i have an obsession with being pure/great/always seen as morally good" "sometimes I get obsessed with an idea and believe I'm on the right path and don't act rationally" "i feel uneasy and incapable of enjoying things since [traumatic event(s)]" "I feel alienated from society and don't understand it at all" bunch of thoughts that are very present in most classics are almost always big symptoms of some kind of mental illness (which, in fact, does add a lot to the story) and I love to see people talk about them from that perspective instead of just "lol this guy is whiny and dumb"

I'm not that innocent...

imo kai (who i think was probably bi and was definitely dating jennifer) wanted to be with mickey because she had just witnessed her partner die gruesomely and was struggling with the concept of mortality for herself & her loved ones, which she’d never really faced before.

she wanted mickey because he would always be reprinted and she wouldn’t have to suffer the pain of losing him forever. she would be ‘safe’ from facing that grief and pain again because mickey can’t die permanently, as she sees it.

also, he’s a sweet guy.

One of the things that confused me about Mickey 17 was Kai's character cause what

I thought the barebones of her character was interesting, a harsh and steadfast individual, who is compassionate but not actually easy to get close to, and how is unwaveringly loyal to the system but does not care for the leader of it (honestly she's exactly the type of character I like)

And then she tried to jump on Mickey, which was especially confusing cause isn't she a lesbian

Like I genuinely thought that the dinner scene were they continually called her and Jennifer friends was meant to show how little the Marshall's cared or understood the people they ruled because it really seemed like they were trying to say that she and Jennifer were more than friends and Kenneth who hadn't even got Jennifer's name right or Yifa who only cares about image and not at all about people, just didn't care enough to know or even consider that they were more than friends

And sure, she clearly cared about how Mickey was being mistreated but I thought that was because she was a good person

So to go from the dinner scene to her trying to jump Mickey was whiplash

And then the last scene we see her in was one where a different female character was draping themselves all over her

So I'm just confused

And you can argue that Kai is bi, entirely possible, but then why Mickey, because if she is bi and was dating Jennifer than why did she try and jump Mickey after the dinner party where she is clearly still upset about her girlfriend's death, and once again why Mickey, what about Mickey is attractive to her

But then if she's not bi and she and Jennifer are just friends, what's with the lesbian subtext, why include it, at all

I'm just confused

What was the point of it all
