What happened to Monday: having siblings has never been so complicated.

Review by @fabian98 · 1432d · of What Happened to Monday

Hello everyone...

today I wanted to review a movie that presents a future very close to the current reality, because if we continue like this and the population continues to grow uncontrollably, we may see policies like this to control population growth.

The movie is "What happened to Monday", this is one of these rare movies that come out on Netflix but ends up being extremely shocking and that you end up recommending to others, both for the plot and for the performance of legendary actors in cinema as the famous Willem Dafoe.

What happened to Monday or 7 sisters as you want to call it, is a science fiction film about a dystopian future where humanity has grown out of control, then apply birth control in the style of China, where parents can have only 1 child per marriage and those who have more than two children have to deliver them to the authorities to sleep and wake up when humanity needs it.

The story focuses on 7 twins: Monday, Tuesday, wednesday, Thursday, Fryday, Saturday and sunday, and their father Terrence Settman who struggles to raise his daughters and prevent the government from taking them away, because he knows the secrets of this government of what they do with the children they take away.

The 7 twins are named after the days of the week, because since only families can only have 1 child, the 7 twins can only go out on the street on the day of the week which is their name, all the twins must dress the same, act the same and do all the same work in a bank to avoid suspicion, also if any of them suffer any deformity or accident that leaves a scar, they must all have the same to avoid suspicion that they are more than one person.

Now the plot takes a rather incredible turn when one of the twins betrays them and everything starts to go wrong for the remaining 6 twins. And the most surprising thing is why this twin does it.

My opinion about this movie is a bit confusing, as when I saw the cover I thought it was a Disney movie like mini spies, but when everything turns gore you realize it's not something suitable for the whole family haha.

Another thing I highlight about this movie is the CGI and special effects they used to make the 7 twins out of one actress, it was extremely surprising, it was something like when in the series el chavo del 8 Mr. belly and namby-pamby came out at the same time. Besides, the plot has its strong and raw point in the middle, although it starts out a bit confusing or without much sense, when it develops you stay glued to the chair and you can't get up for a single moment. But something I didn't like was the continuation of Willem Dafoe's character, as it causes a lot of intrigue, but after a few scenes he doesn't reappear nor is there any mention of him in any meaningful way.

But would you recommend what happened to Monday? Yes, of course I would, if you want to enjoy an intriguing movie with very dramatic plot twists and an epic ending, I recommend it, I know it may seem like a shoddy SyFy movie at first, but it is extremely impressive.

Also, it has the performance of Willem Dafoe, which in itself a movie improves a lot with his appearance, just look at the last Spiderman movie, they brought Willem Dafoe to play the green goblin and he was the most epic villain of the movie.

In conclusion, if you want to enjoy an excellent movie full of intrigue, action and above all mystery, that le paso a lunes is for you, it is available on Netflix and has a duration of 2 hours, but from start to finish it is addictive.

Here I leave you some trailers so you can see a little of the plot.

    ASi es @fabian98 es una historia fantastica, de verdad no esperaba el final que revelo, una trama que se complicaba a medida que avanza la pelicula, y cada vez es mas intrincada. Yo la recomiendo, me parecio bastante buena. Tu reseña muy bien llevaba, gracias por compartirla y recordarmela. Saludos 😃

    Greetings friend, some time ago this movie was recommended to me, however, it is not my style. But I was encouraged to see the trailer and it really is all crazy, what happens, it is also a very stressful and desperate situation. I really like your post my friend, you also give that space touch, thanks for sharing it with us, greetings.
