‘Mickey 17’ Ending Explained: Robert Pattinson is discussing spoilers

game

Spoiler Alert! We are discussing important plot points and the end of “Mickey 17” (in theaters now), so be careful if you haven’t seen it yet.

Robert Pattinson’s underdog-titled character in Sci-Fi Satire “Mickey 17” has all kinds of obstacles thrown on Ham-It is the breaks when you are considered “expenses.” In the end, however, he not only survives, but thrives, even as a copy of himself meets a heroic fate.

In Oscar-winning writer/director Bong Joon Ho’s new film, Mickey Barnes (Pattinson) is a earthly man who signs up for a colonizing expedition to a distant icy planet and volunteers for a job that constantly puts him in deadly situations. Every time he dies, a new version is printed with his memories. The 17th iteration is assumed to be dead, leading to Mickey 18, but when the other did not perish, 17 and 18 have to find out how to exist together.

They get a common enemy: villain -like politician Kenneth Marshall (Mark Ruffalo), the man who leads the expedition, wants to kill Mickeys. He will also wipe out the planet’s original beings, The Creepers, who had saved Mickey 17 earlier. After killing a baby Creeper, leading mother Creeper to gather her colleagues and surrounded Marshall’s spaceship, Send Marshall 17 and 18 out to kill creepers or otherwise be blown up. But 17 warns Creeper – Mother of Marshall’s plan to use nerve gas on them – and prevent them from wiping people in revenge – and 18 sacrifices themselves to blow up Marshall.

While looking down on most of the film, Mickey gets 17 new respect among his human employees. And when his girlfriend Nasha (Naomi Ackie) is responsible, she lets Mickey push the button that explodes the human printer.

Does ‘Mickey 17’ have a post-credit scene?

Nope, but before the human printer detonates, Bong includes an important dream sequence in which Mickey confronts Marshall’s planning wife Ylfa (Toni Collette) when she prints a new version of her husband. “Isn’t that what everyone wants?” Mickey tells her on four letters.

“There have been a lot of strange things” in Bong’s native South Korea and the world, says the filmmaker via a translator. “We are undergoing climate disaster and fires, and we just feel a little scared. We feel small and helpless. And what intensifies all the fears that are even more is hatred and contempt and contempt for each other. “

But at the moment Mickey rejects all that, Bong adds. “Even the most powerless sub -dog can overcome his fears and find hope and fight vitriol and hatred against the world. Maybe it’s kind of everything we can do and all we can hope for in this crazy world. “

Pattinson sees the movie as “A very kind of extreme version of where your life can end. I’m always a fan of saying that people have to give themselves a break, ”he says with a laugh. “It’s fun to try to put things in the context of the way the world is now – it is changing at such an alarming pace that it is almost impossible. Good advice today will be bad advice tomorrow.”

While Mickey 17 is definitely an underdog, “at the same time, it is interesting that it is not as if he wants to lead the world afterwards,” Pattinson figures. “He doesn’t even get it. When everyone likes, ‘you saved the world!’ And he’s like, ‘I did? OK, cool. ‘

“He just wants a nice life and be an ordinary guy. He doesn’t really have higher ambitions in particular. He felt good about being tortured every day if he could just go home to Nasha. “
