00:00Hey Naturally Curly World, I'm Nikki and welcome to Watch and Go, the series where we review
00:04things that we've watched while doing our Watch and Go.
00:07Today I'm going to be reviewing the movie What Happened to Monday on Netflix.
00:10You will all take on the singular identity of Karen Setman.
00:16Karen, do you have any siblings?
00:18No.
00:19What happens to one of you?
00:27While I do that, I'll be washing my hair with the Jessie Curl Gentle Lather Shampoo.
00:36Then I'm going to condition with the Jessie Curl Touche Extra Moisturizing Conditioner.
00:40Then I'm going to just condition my hair with the Oyen Handmade Honey Hemp Detangling Moisturizing
00:46Hair Conditioner.
00:47And then I'm going to seal my ends with the Oyen Burn Sugar Pomade.
00:51This is like my favorite thing.
00:52It smells so good.
00:53Alright, so I'll be back after I wash and condition my hair.
00:59Now I'm going to detangle and apply the Oyen Handmade.
01:02Okay, so let's talk about what happened to Monday.
01:05I didn't initially want to watch this.
01:07Netflix doesn't do a good job with pictures.
01:10And I judge a book by its cover.
01:10Sorry.
01:11Not like people, but like books and movies.
01:13Actual books and movies.
01:14The pictures Netflix was showing for this movie, I was like, this don't look good.
01:18What happened to Monday?
01:19Is like a day disappear or something?
01:21Like a whole day disappear?
01:22Or like what happened on Monday?
01:24That's not what this is.
01:26This is a dystopian, futuristic movie.
01:30It's in a world where we're overpopulated.
01:33Too many people in the world, too many mouths to feed, not enough resources.
01:37The earth is just drained.
01:39So everybody in the world can only have one kid.
01:41If you have more than one kid, they put your kid in cryo-sleep.
01:45In order to get any kind of resource in this world, you have to use your little wristband.
01:52To get anywhere you have to scan, to get food you have to scan, and there's a limit.
01:57I don't know what it was like living in China under the one child policy, but this seems
02:01like a really extreme version of that.
02:03I just got a haircut, y'all.
02:04I haven't had a haircut in so long.
02:06And now my wash and go's look so good because my hair is even.
02:10Get a haircut if you haven't got one, get yourself a haircut.
02:12You deserve it.
02:13Unfortunately, one woman gives birth and dies during the process, but she gives birth to
02:20septuplets.
02:21You know how sometimes you watch those shows and you're like, there's 30,000 of us and
02:25counting.
02:26Well, that's what, and they all look different.
02:28That's not what happened with these seven women.
02:30They all look exactly the same.
02:32They're identical.
02:33So the mother dies and her father, their grandfather, is like, oh, okay, I'm going to take these
02:37girls on.
02:38I know you can't have as many kids.
02:39You're not even supposed to have two kids.
02:41I have seven, but I'm just going to hide them from the government.
02:45He's like, all right, there's seven girls.
02:47There's seven days of the week.
02:49Let's name all these girls after the days of the week.
02:52Hence, what happened to Monday?
02:54Monday's a person.
02:56Took me a while to get there, but you see where I'm going.
02:58Each girl has a day of the week that's her name.
03:01Also, each girl has a day of the week that is according to her name.
03:05She gets to go out into the world as this made-up girl, Karen Setman.
03:10So, Monday's Karen Setman, Tuesday's Karen Setman, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
03:16Sunday is Karen Setman.
03:17They're all Karen Setman.
03:18Karen Setman has one wristband.
03:20She's one person, but she's also seven people.
03:22Now, growing up, I have a sister.
03:25Siblings are hard.
03:27So, you have this conflict of all of these women who are one woman, but they're individuals
03:34too.
03:35So, you have that sibling sort of like, I'm myself, I'm individual, I'm unique, but also
03:41I'm forced to be one person because I live in a world where I can't be myself.
03:45And that brings about a lot of drama.
03:48They literally have to communicate every single thing they do.
03:51If Monday goes out and buys a taco and talks to someone who saw her buy a taco, and Tuesday
03:56goes out and sees the same guy who saw her buy a taco, and she doesn't remember that,
03:59that's a problem.
04:00They have to give a full report, basically, of everything they do to their other sisters.
04:05Everything you learn, everyone you talk to, everything you do at work, they all have the
04:08same job.
04:09They all went to the same school.
04:12So, even if you didn't like, you know how sometimes you don't like your sister's friends
04:15because your sister's friends are stupid?
04:18And if Karen has a friend that Monday or Tuesday don't like, but Saturday loves, you just have
04:24to deal with it.
04:25So, that's not a part of the movie, I'm just telling you the stuff they have to go through.
04:29They all have these different personalities, but they all have to hide that stuff to be,
04:33to live, to survive.
04:35And one day, something happens to Monday.
04:38Monday goes to work, and she don't come back.
04:41So Tuesday's like, hey, where's Monday?
04:44And Monday's a girl who's like, always on her piece and cues.
04:47She don't skip days.
04:48She doesn't give bad reports.
04:50She tells all the other sisters what's going on, what's going down.
04:54And Monday's reliable, is what I'm saying.
04:56So when she doesn't come back home on time, they're like, something's up, something is
05:01up.
05:02And at this point, since Monday's gone, Tuesday has to go out, because that's how it works.
05:10Tuesday is Tuesday and Tuesday's day to go out.
05:12Monday ain't there.
05:14But they don't know what happened to her.
05:15So they're like, do you...
05:19What if she's out there?
05:21So Tuesday goes out to go look for Monday, but also to be Karen Setman, because she can't
05:26be herself.
05:27Then stuff just starts to go crazy.
05:29Y'all, stuff just starts to go crazy.
05:31At this point, they're all desperate, because they all have to survive.
05:33If one of them goes out, then the government knows, oh, there's other girls.
05:37We're about to put all y'all to sleep.
05:38It's hard not to tell you the ending, it's so good.
05:42You think you know the ending, but you don't know the ending, at all.
05:45I didn't think it was going to be that good.
05:46It was really, really good.
05:48Glenn Close, she plays a crazy character, I mean, of course, right?
05:52She was Cruella DeVille, so she was a perfect villain.
05:55Cruella DeVille is like the head of the child allocation, I'm going to call it the Allocation
05:59Bureau.
06:00All the women are played by Noomi Repes.
06:03Having seven different people seems like chaos and ridiculous, but she played each character
06:09very well.
06:10I couldn't do that.
06:11I think I would probably mix up maybe the personalities of Saturday and Wednesday, you
06:16know?
06:17Oh, this is so nice.
06:18Y'all.
06:19Just look at that.
06:20Look at...
06:21You mad, you know you mad.
06:25This is a Denman brush, and it's working perfectly.
06:27This is a human's odd things to the end of their head.
06:36Gosh, I'm kind of blacked out there for a second.
06:38I give What Happened to Monday a 5 out of 5.
06:41If you love dystopian fictions, if you love things like the Hunger Games, stupid stuff
06:46is like, this would never happen in the real world, but then you're like, maybe it could
06:49happen in the real world, this is the movie for you.
06:52Thank you so much for watching.
