Bong Joon-Ho's MICKEY 17
Among the pleasures of any good Bong Joon-Ho film - and he has not, for my estimation for what its worth, had one less than good yet (often they're pretty awesome) - is the level of detail he puts into every shot, whether it's for his actors to chew into playing or just in the schema of the script. Take the example of the, well, sexual positions designed in loving semi-humor by the characters of Mickey (Pattinson) and Nasha (Ackie), two people who somehow lock eyes with one another and won't let one another go (even with the knowledge that Nasha has that Mickey is an Expendable and goes through many permutations over the years he's on the ship to this wherever-it-is new "promised land" by the fascist zealot Marshall (Mark Ruffalo, who said to himself he didnt play nearly enough of a scumbag in Poor Things). It is one of those funny and kind of adorable moments that we dont usually get in movies anyway, but here it adds a flavor to their romance and relations...
