Well, there’s nothing more interesting than a follow up with the erotic movie 365 days. This erotic movie is based on the novel written by Blanka Lipinska. A quick recap of the first movie, Don Massimo played by Michele Morrone abducted Laura Biel played by Anna Maria Sieklucka and later on forced Laura to take into consideration on falling in love to Don Massimo in 365 days, hence the title. The movie is a very erotic movie, with all the sex scenes that felt and seemed to be real in the eyes of all the viewers. During the 365 days, Laura fell in love with Don Massimo and the movie ended by Laura getting into an accident into a tunnel on her way home to Massimo.

There were so many questions that lingered during the streaming of the first movie which led to a major rise up of views because everyone is curious about this most-talked about movie of 2020. It was when Fifty Shades of Grey was released, when viewers were introduced to masochism, bondage sex and Submissive and Dominant lifestyle so many of the viewers were kind of aware on how this works.

The 365 dni book which was originally written in Polish has become one of the best-selling novels of 2020 and was produced and translated on different languages.

The series consists of 3 books which I believed has told a very informative story however the film had cut it little short as expected for all movie adaptations. Many fans were curious of what happened in the tunnel and we actually expected that they will show it on the second movie. Okay, let me tell you the synopsis of the second movie before I even react on all the flaws that I saw in the second film.

The movie started from Laura and Massimo’s wedding day. Laura opens to Olga that she doesn’t want to tell Massimo about the child she lost during the accident in the tunnel and eventually spending the married life normally however, a conflict happened when suddenly, Laura saw Massimo and caught him cheating. She then runaway with Massimo’s gardener Nacho who brought her into a paradise. Little did Laura know, whom she saw kissing someone else was not Massimo, rather it was Massimo’s twin brother who happens to be involved with their father’s death; trying to dethrone Massimo, they managed to enter his weakest link and that was Laura.

Laura also doesn’t know that she is actually being held by Massimo’s family’s mortal enemy, Nacho’s family. In the last part of the movie, Laura was kidnapped by Massimo’s twin brother and Anna. They are trying to get rid of her but Nacho and Massimo was able to stop them however, Laura was left hurt as well during the gun fight. The movie ended as Laura bleeds out on the floor and Anna and Massimo’s twin brother, Adriano, dead.

The plot was okay, but the movie itself was not. They had too much going on in the movie. First, there’s just too many songs, as if it turned out into a 1 hour-long music video with plenty of songs in the playlist queue. Second thing, it is so much different from the book which I believed has ruined the plot that many readers liked about the book. After all, it was liked because of the rich story that the book has. Third, the story just messed up the romantic deets of it just from the tunnel accident itself.

Okay, let me elaborate you the differences we saw between the book and the movie.

• In the movie, the tunnel accident was like a normal accident that caused her to miscarriage but in the books, she was supposed to be abducted by *wait for it…* Nacho. Yes, she was abducted by Nacho just like how Massimo abducted her and she fell in love with Nacho as well.
• In the second book, it somehow ended same as the movie but Laura is still pregnant. Massimo was on his way to save Laura from Nacho but he was too late coz she was shot by Anna and then to top it all off, (this is on the third book) Massimo needs to choose who to save, is it Laura or the baby? Yes, and that’s the part where Massimo had to keep it from Laura, better plot right? I mean if you need drama, you need THAT.
• Don Matos was not actually that calm in books, he was most likely to use Laura as a game plan to make Massimo give up his throne. That is why he had to use his son to abduct Laura however, Nacho falls in love with Laura too.
• In the third book, Laura will fall back to Nacho’s arms as revenge to Massimo but of course she will return on his arms later on.

I think having to read the book and compare it to the movie, both the books and the movie adaptations have their own flaws. Of course you cannot just incorporate all the details from the book to the movie but somehow changing the major plot twists kinda ruined the morale of the book. I’m not into changing plots especially if the plot was good enough as to not have it sorted as a common plot. In fact, I didn’t like the book that much but the plot is a good story to build up. Minus the sex parts, the plot itself has a body. It’s like a dark age to the core. I mean, having to enter the world of the mafias after being swoon with Fifty Shades of Grey and the philanthropic type, reading this series is huge leap although they are both erotica novels they embody different cores.

I’m too technical comparing this adaptation against anything else because I think this movie deserves more than the good songs that turned the movie into a much video.

All in all, I liked the movie but not as much as I liked the original plot. I hope they could just give a new twist in the third installment if they will be returning for the third movie in the future. I would give this 85% wonderroanne rating.
