[REVIEW] 365 Days: This Day (Netflix) – Watching movies is a torture
Is the sequel to 365 Days – the film is based on the novel of the same name revolving around a mafia boss who haunts a girl after meeting her exactly once, then kidnaps her, telling her she has 365 days. to love him. After that, the two had passionate lovemaking. 365 Days: This Day is part 2 of this “heavenly” movie.
Set 2 years after the mysterious accident of part 1, 365 Days: This Day begins with the wedding between Massimo (Michele Morrone) and Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka). But life as the wife of a mafia boss is no fairy tale. Laura was pinned in Massimo’s arms. Furthermore, with Massimo’s fortune, Laura doesn’t need to do anything else. In general, she just needs to sit still to be pampered. But Laura still harbors her ambitions. At this time, a handsome gardener became her friend. The conflicts between Laura and Massimo became more and more frequent, causing Laura to begin to have different thoughts about this marriage.
It would be a lie to say 365 Days: This Day is a movie, but it would also be a lie to say it was unwatchable. Movies labeled 18+ with passionate and intense emotional scenes for adults always have separate audiences. For example, 50 Shades of Gray or Netflix’s recent Sex/Life series. But when 50 Shades of Gray or Sex/Life still have a story to tell, 365 Days: This Day is like a fateful relationship between plot – plot, and porn – hot movie, putting the viewer in a state of agony.
365 Days is a difficult film to watch, with a premise that falls somewhere in a gray area, if not outright promoting rape and the abuse of women. Yet 365 Days: This Day is even more terrifying. But that’s not a good sign. In the movie there is nothing but bad acting from the male and female leads and erotic scenes without any polish. At least Fifty Shades of Gray focuses on these scenes. The two films share a theme in the element of lust, but 50 Shades of Gray seems to have more heart.
It’s worth mentioning that 365 Days: This Day has the potential to grow and is already off to a pretty good start commercially. They can completely invest in the plot with details that are already dramatic, such as the suspicion between Laura and Massimo, the secret that she had a miscarriage in the accident at the end of part 1, or Massimo’s past. These things may sound old and familiar, but audiences would rather watch a love movie between a CEO and a strong woman than a bad patchwork movie like 365 Days: This Day. Furthermore, love movies are still something that European cinema can do.
Perhaps people flock to see this movie because of curiosity…that and the “screen” of the cast. They seem to have stepped out from the legend of the gods. But in terms of acting or character depth, there’s really nothing more to say. Even the actions of the characters don’t have any “brain”. Viewers continue to go crazy with the actions of the characters. The movie turns the female lead into a stupid character, while the male lead just walks around lazily with a dull or expressionless face, as if the movie doesn’t care about focusing on the drama of the story but just wants to annoy the people. Are viewers worried that their lives are boring or something?
Ultimately, this 365 Days: This Day has nothing to praise. Even the scenes that made this franchise famous can’t save this movie from being terrible. But if I have to reluctantly find a point to say that it’s tolerable, it’s the male and female supporting cast. Because their relationship started off quite healthy and developed naturally. Or maybe because the movie doesn’t focus too much on them, we don’t get to see the blood-curdling scenes of this supporting pair. Another point is that the music is quite catchy and “carries the weight” of this movie.
Honestly, the writer doesn’t mind “porn with plot” movies – hot movies that have a plot, if the movie’s plot is at least watchable. As for the story of 365 Days: This Day, it’s like testing the viewer’s endurance, with no explanation connected to part 1, no drama, no conflict, no message. – at least Sex/Life is about marital crises and the complications of old loves.
Watching 365 Days: This Day is torture and no one should abuse themselves like that. Even filming a movie like this is torture for the cast, they can’t hide it.
