      Film Review, What Happened to Monday?

      When chatting with a few friends recently, I accidentally talked about the topic of "Dink family" and "letting go of the second child". Several buddies talked eloquently and talked about the advantages of the "second child". Among them, only one of them was silent, frowning in thought, and then threw out the sentence "DINK is the best!" He shook his hand, and said, "Don't believe it? I suggest you watch the latest movie 'Hunting Monday'!", turned around and left. Everyone was silent for a...

      Dystopian Humanism

      The film is set against the background of rapid population growth, and the frame is to freeze all the super-born people, and save them to come out again when they settle down later. A family of seven septuplets has lived in fear for 30 years. The eldest sister wanted to live normally after she found out that she was pregnant. He lived an independent life, betrayed his sisters, and finally died of a gunshot. The last Monday of the whole film let his child survive, which played a sublimating...

      Without eternal existence, human beings will eventually perish.

      Five star movie.

      The title is very realistic: the population explosion has caused a crisis of human existence. Then the solutions and side effects given by the movie are also very realistic: the production of genetically modified food has increased sharply, which has slowed down the food crisis, but it has led to the emergence of multiple births, which has further stimulated the population explosion and a vicious circle.

      The protagonist can perform seven roles perfectly, and he...

      About settings

      Many people allude to family planning, but the fact is that under the background of some times, birth control is a choice that is beneficial to the country and human beings. Should we all control birth together to protect the country and the earth, or just give birth to the last piece and starve to death?

      If the control of population growth and the implementation of family planning in the movie become necessary measures and consensus to save human beings, whoever exceeds birth will be...

      I like it very much, I don't know why the score is so low

      Serious spoilers below!

      ————————————————————————

      1. I followed family planning and was born as an only child. I am glad that I was born in China. The country is so kind to us. I have no brothers and sisters. Even if there are, the country will not burn down;

      2. I prefer technical nerd Friday, she does the right thing every time, and makes rational decisions at critical moments, including treating herself....

      In the end, it is a bit of a routine of forcibly whitewashing with love. The female lead is good. Should get seven paychecks. Willem Dafoe is still handsome in his old...

      The script setting and story background are still quite dystopian and innovative, but the too intuitive editing effect and the narrative rhythm of the running account too affect the final effect of the film. The most surprising thing is that Noomi's sister's role as the seven corners is so wonderful! Not a single award without a single nomination is not too unfair! ! !...

      The setting is pretty cool. The scene was so bloody that I couldn't bear it. Giving the congressman a last chance to speak gave me the feeling that the screenwriter was writing the story because of current values—a feeling that Black Mirror didn't end...

    Movie plot

    In the near future, due to the pressure of highly saturated population and feminist pressure, governments of all countries will unanimously implement the "one family, one child" policy. Under this high pressure, a small family ushered in seven births. The seven sisters were raised by their grandfather. He named them Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and stipulated that they can only go out on the day...

    Evaluation action

    The story of "What Happened to Monday?" is full of vitality and will not bore the audience   . The film is an absurd movie that combines highly conceptual science fiction, subtle fables and intense plots   . The film showed the audience the pessimistic prospect of threats caused by overpopulation. The film could have been produced in a way that is critical to society, but in this two-hour action film, although the film knows where and...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Reporter: In the last 50 years we've doubled our population, tripled the amount of food and water we use, and we have quadrupled the use of fossil fuels. Every four days there's a million more people on the planet. How is the world going to cope with this explosion in population.

    • Young Doctor: [looking into the hospital nursery] Have you thought about names?

      Terrence Settman: Well, there's seven. So: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

    • The Settman Siblings: [as Thursday] If we get this promotion, it's all thanks to Friday. She makes us all look like a genius.

      The Settman Siblings: [as Friday] It's a team effort. You guys do the legwork, I just crunch numbers.

      The Settman Siblings: [as Sunday] "Seven minds are better than one."

      Terrence Settman: [cut to homeschooling scene years earlier] You must work collectively. You're stronger together than you are alone. In time we must select a career that capitalizes on your joint skills.
