“Harry crossed the dingy landing, turned the bedroom doorknob, which was shaped like a serpent’s head, and opened the door. He caught a brief glimpse of a gloomy high ceilinged, twin-bedded room; then there was a loud twittering noise, followed by an even louder shriek, and his vision was completely obscured by a large quantity of very bushy hair. Hermione had thrown herself on to him in a hug that nearly knocked him flat […]”

What Happened to Monday?

What Happened To Monday is a Netflix film, titled Seven Sisters in Canada, France, Italy and Slovakia.  It was released in 2017.

Around the year 2043, overpopulation has caused a worldwide crisis in food and water shortages.  Man developed super genetic food to feed the world and as a result, humans started giving birth to litters of children.  I say litters because the movie is about septuplets – 7 identical sisters.  Their mom died during childbirth and Terrence Settman, played by actor Willem Dafoe, keeps the multiple births secretive and raises his granddaughters.  He names each one after a day of the week.

In their apartment, each sister can be herself.  Outside however, each one has to be Karen Settman, and they are only allowed outside on the day that they are named after.  This also means that they have to decide what career they will all share because Monday goes to work on that day; Tuesday goes to the same job on that day, etc. Noomi Rapace plays all seven of the sisters, and she does a great acting job.

By now you’re probably wondering why Terrence made that arrangement.  It’s because the government developed a program called Child Allocation Bureau, (C.A.B.) ran by Nicolette Cayman, played by Glenn Close.  When multiple children are born to one mother, all but the eldest are put into cryosleep.  Only one child is allowed to be raised because Cayman believes that raising more than one child takes food and water from others.

To fix the problem with siblings, C.A.B. has agents to take siblings into custody and “cryogenically” freeze them until a time when man finds a way to create more natural resources.  Residential areas are separated from business areas.  To enter a business area, people are checked by C.A.B. agents who check their identification bracelets.  When purchasing food, (which has been reduced to eating rats), identification bracelets are also checked.

(In the movie, there are shades of Nazi Germany and shades of how the U.S. government is now asking for proof of citizenship on buses.)

Since it seems obvious in the movie that the government issues identification bracelets, (Terrence made bracelets for his granddaughters), siblings are unable to make purchases.  They are taking a chance being outside their dwellings without an I.D. bracelet.

The movie spans 30 years in the life of the septuplets. For me, it raised questions, such as what happens when the resources problem is resolved and all of those frozen children are awakened? They will have no family to raise them.  Having no siblings is not limited to the current generation.  It also means having no aunts or uncles.

As I watched the film, I asked how much money was being spent to keep massive amounts of children frozen and why wasn’t that money being spent to develop food and water?   This led me to anticipate what would be revealed by the end of the movie.

Another thing I noticed about the movie is that guns will not operate without the finger print of the gun owner or in the case of C.A.B. agents, the fingerprint of the agent.   It sounds like a solution to stop the use of stolen or unregistered guns.  However, as the movie shows, all it takes is a sharp knife to the trigger finger of the gun owner  … (you get the idea).

An obvious anticipation to the movie’s title is that Monday goes missing.  However, why Monday goes missing is also a point in the title.  Something happened to Monday beyond her not coming home from work one day.

Karen/Monday and Cayman make a deal.  Cayman will kill all of Monday’s siblings. Why?  What happened to Monday to bring her to agree that Cayman execute her 6 sisters?  Cayman doesn’t want the world to know that 7 siblings lived for 30 years on rations for one person without detection, and she feels that if the truth is known about their survival, that it will destroy her credibility.  That is when the movie turns into an action/detective thriller.

Monday is in love with a C.A.B. agent that checks I.D. and the entry point to the business where Karen/Monday works.  They only get together one day of the week — you guessed it — Monday.  The C.A.B. agent wants to spend more time with Karen.  He is unaware that the Karen he sees on other days coming to work are Monday’s siblings.

The 7 sisters were taught that everything they see, say and do while outside of the apartment is shared with all of the sisters.  That is necessary so that people who see Wednesday on Wednesday and Thursday on Thursday might strike up a conversation about what they talked about on Friday a week ago.

Monday did not tell her 6 siblings about her love affair. They learned about it by accident after Monday went missing and another sibling, as Karen, talked with the C.A.B. agent. At the end of the movie, we also learn that Monday is pregnant with twins.   How can a woman in love who is pregnant only be her real self on one day of the week?  How can her siblings be her on all other days?

All things at the end of the movie are not roses, but a good thing is that Cayman is exposed as the liar she is and the truth is revealed about cryosleep – it is not about saving siblings until there is enough food to feed the world — it is an incinerator.  Cayman was charged with murder, and the C.A.B. program was repealed.

What are the social messages in What Happened To Monday?  There are many.  In one scene, we see a sign for voluntary sterilization.  The movie conveys the idea that the government in control was anti-choice; did not allow abortions nor planned parenthood for birth control.  As another example, to defend herself against being dishonest about cryosleep, Cayman stated that the children did not suffer, and were better off dead than living in overpopulated conditions.

Before her deception was revealed, Cayman introduced that because overpopulation was not under control, that certain families would not be allowed to keep and raise even one child.  Her program was to be income based which means, the movie conveyed that the poor would never be provided with opportunities to improve their condition.

As Willem Dafoe stated in an interview, “It’s not so different than the world we live in today.”

All took one singular identity of Karen Settman.

- Monday was a traitor. but at the end, she regret all the bad things she did to her sisters. - Tuesday managed to stay alive with the other eye carved out and tell everybody about the lies of Cayman. - Wednesday is the baddest, the scene where she jumped from one building to another with a 50/50 chance of making it takes great courage. - Thursday helped tuesday to escape and spill the secrets of Cayman while still grieving for her lost sisters. - Friday is the wises and most intelligent girl who accepted her death as she knows in her heart that she's not a fighter like the others and won't even survive outside for a minute. - Saturday took Monday's identity to get information on her lover on where she could find her lost sister. well, all the talking went "straight to bed" - Sunday used to be the believer. but after realizing that she's about to die, she doesn't believe in herself anymore.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the third and final task of the Triwizard Tournament is about to begin! Let me remind you how the points currently stand! Tied in first place, with eighty-five points each — Mr. Cedric Diggory and Mr. Harry Potter, both of Hogwarts School!” The cheers and applause sent birds from the Forbidden Forest fluttering into the darkening sky. “In second place, with eighty points — Mr. Viktor Krum, of Durmstrang Institute!” More applause. “And in third place — Miss Fleur Delacour, of Beauxbatons Academy!”

Harry Potter is dead!

[cherryjasmin]

There was silence in the room, broken only by gentle thuds, as Hermione continued to throw books on to one pile or the other. Ron sat watching her, and Harry looked from one to the other, unable to say anything. The measures they had taken to protect their families made him realise, more than anything else could have done, that they really were going to come with him and that they knew exactly how dangerous that would be. He wanted to tell them what that meant to him, but he simply could not find words important enough.
