Mickey 172025

Firstly I loved the book and I will remember it forever.  Unfortunately I can’t say the same after watching the film but I can say it was enjoyable. Bong changed too many things compared to book. Way too many including the climax. Message remains the same but the book’s ending was more nuanced and had more impact on me. Also satirically, movie was not of the same level. Bong took very simplistic approach, also weakening some strong characters in the book like Marshall. Thankfully Mickey’s character was good. Robert played both the Mickeys superbly. Wish the film was more nuanced in its approach and added some more intriguing elements from the book. Still really enjoyable for sure but not as memorable as the book.
