Part 2 of 365 Days is more offensive than before: Even the title “3-cent romance” is not worthy!
As predicted 2 years ago, part 2 of the “trash” 365 Days (or 365 Days of Loving You) continues to be a big disappointment for Polish cinema in particular and world cinema in general. Take the timeline… who knows when, starting with a lavish wedding between the female lead Laura (Anna-Maria Sieklucka) and “boss” Massimo (Michele Morrone). After that, a series of problems happened to the couple, starting from disastrous misunderstandings.
It seems that Laura’s car accident at the end of part 1 was just a dream. In part 2, she appeared healthy and gorgeous in a wedding dress. But that’s still good, because the whole movie 365 Days: This Day is a nightmare that makes viewers the most tired and exhausted.
The offensive scene spans 2/3 of the movie… but it’s quite boring
When mentioning the 365 Days brand, just like 50 Shades of Gray, audiences will remember “Ah, this is a movie with many dirty scenes”. The offensive and “lovemaking” scenes of the male and female leads stretched throughout part 1, now in part 2 they have multiplied in quantity, but unfortunately are poor in “quality”. During the first 30 minutes of 365 Days: This Day, the two characters Laura – Massimo experience non-stop “rain clouds”, no matter where or what. Not to mention all the scenes are accompanied by music, looking like short MVs strung together and not like a standard movie at all.
365 Days’ very own “sensitive” specialty is now no longer rich in flavor, the hot scenes all happen quickly, intermittently and briefly. Watching the first third of the movie, it’s like the feeling of being forced to eat a lot of a bad, tasteless dish, so that diners no longer know what to expect next.
Now when even the hot details fail, 365 Days: This Day reveals a fatal plot flaw.
Now when even the hot details cannot be done, 365 Days: This Day immediately reveals its fatal flaw in the plot, which is both outdated and superficial like its supporting role. Obviously, in this wrong love story, there are many details that can at least hold back the most curious audiences, like the fact that the baby in Laura’s womb passed away after the accident at the end of part 1. However, 365 Days: This Day completely disregards all of them, only mentioning them as a “must have” to stay true to the original story and not leaving anything in the viewer’s mind.
The content is far behind China’s “3-cent romance”, women continue to be looked down upon
If all offensive scenes are removed from the total length, 365 Days: This Day is left with only a bunch of “crumble” details less than half an hour long. From beginning to end, characters like Laura, Massimo,… just go back and forth with 1-2 small problems about marriage or family related issues. The main couple’s chaotic situation after marriage, or the friction between mafia gangs, is not deep enough, heavy enough, and big enough, making the film become completely small, and it drags on to the point of boredom. .
Even compared to China’s criticized “3-cent romance” movies, 365 Days: This Day can’t even touch it.Even compared to China’s criticized “3-cent romance” films, 365 Days: This Day cannot be reached due to the lack of details, character development and gender inequality. increasingly obvious and negative. The appearance of new characters like the mysterious gardener Nacho does not help the plot become more diverse, but instead leads the audience deeper into the realm of ambiguity. If we had spent time showing the main couple’s “bed” scenes to invest in character depth, perhaps 365 Days: This Day would have added a few points!
The most condemnable thing in 365 Days: This Day is that it turns out that women can only submit to the money, sex and legs of “toxic” men. We see a Laura who seems to be stronger and more independent than in part 1, but is not. She gets into trouble when she is bound by her husband’s power, then once again fantasizes about “true love” in the arms of a stranger.
Once a successful businesswoman, the female lead of 365 Days: This Day increasingly falls deeper into the game of crime, where she continues to “enjoy” being a victim. Thus, the feminist element after 2 years of 365 Days is still not getting better, on the contrary, it is getting worse. In the end, Laura is just a tool used to compete, a toy for men who crave power, and the saddest thing is that she lost the right to take responsibility for her own life.
