“Our entire life is a punishment”

In retrospect, it is evident why the final cut and thus release was a major obstacle and setback because Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 is somewhat of a monstrous disaster. The options of cutting this down and losing whatever narrative this has to say, or adding in material and ballon this up even more losing screens at the Cineplex and watch it blossom up its own derrière.…

Jarman elevates the material by using political and social overtones that intertwine from the text to its modern-day reach. The two in tangent offer a profound, poignant and damning sentiment of double standard and…

“Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to”

Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi is a bitterly disappointing, flat, tiresome, and ultimately disastrous attempt at wanting to stand out against the norm. The tone is completely utterly wrong for such a massively important episode in a franchise that needs to go darker and embrace it. It has no clue of what it wants to…
