History Film / TheGirlFromMonday

A 2005 film starring Bill Sage, Sabrina Lloyd, Tatiana Abracos and Leo Fitzpatrick, ''The Girl From Monday'' is a sci fi satire which mocks modern consumerism. Jack Bell (Sage) is a jaded advertising executive who had helped to bring Triple M (for Multi-Media Monopoly) into power in the US via a revolution. He then devised the innovative idea of turning sex into a commercial act.

* SociallyScoredSociety: The film is set in a future USA where your sexual activity is translated into a "desirability rating" and treated like a credit score. As a result, sex is completely commodified, with people only doing it to improve their lives.

* CyberPunk: The film has some aspects of this, though it's not really a straight example. It has a future US ruled by a huge corporation which constantly spies on the citizens, harshly punishes dissent, actively tries to brainwash youths and seeks to commodify everything. There's a plucky underdog resistance against it, with the protagonist being a jaded man who aided the state of affairs coming to pass but now deeply regrets this. However, most new technology is only mentioned or briefly seen without it playing much of a role in the story. There's also less of the stereotyped atmosphere, and the change is more implied or mentioned than shown.

At the same time, his abortive encounter with a fellow ad exec named Cecile draws her into joining the resistance too, while an alien woman who's come from her planet to Earth for mysterious reasons.

Jack Bell (Sage) is a jaded advertising executive who had helped to bring Triple M (for Multi-Media Monopoly) into power in the US via a revolution. He devised the innovative idea of turning sex into a commercial act. Realizing that the most sexually active people also consume more, due to much advertising linking economic consumption with sex, Jack proposed they record each sexual act electronically. For each act, their credit rating will be raised, along with a desirability rating. As a result of this, sex becomes commodified, and soon doing it for simple pleasure or love has been stigmatized. Jack is disgusted at what he's ushered in, first buying a gun to kill himself but then backing out, instead joining up with "counter-revolutionary" rebels.

* DrivenToSuicide: Jack hates that he helped the ruling Triple M, and so nearly kills himself twice. However, in the first case he stops before doing it. In the second case he overdoses before planning to shoot himself. He survives, simply passing out then waking up later.

* ThreewaySex: Nobody wakes up to find Jack and Cecile having sex. Later they're shown lying in bed together under the covers of his bed.

* ReallyGetsAround: This has been enforced and incentivized now by the government, which has people record every sexual act they engage in for higher credit ratings. Consequently, most people have casual sex frequently. People who do it just for pleasure or love have been deemed counter-revolutionaries, and non-economic sex is now punishable by hard labor.

* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler: Did Nobody make it? Will the resistance succeed? Is Cecile doomed to live out her life on the moon? What will happen to Jack? The film never says.]]
