This channel has saved me from wasting hours of my life watching low budget movies. This movie looked decent but I know it would have been a bit boring.

As a generation that went through the pandemic, I think many of us can handle this challenge.

4:30 "Kate apologizes for having behaved like a twat" I almost spit out my drink 😂

Damn only 50 days? We have a Japanese dude that did this solo for 15 months and his food wasn't free from the wall, he had to acquire his own food from inside the room with only magazine sweepstakes challenges. Look him up, he's called Tomoaki Hamatsu, nickname Nasubi. It's insane what they put this man through, compared to 50 days for 5 million Nasubi would have stomped that challenge.

I'd like to imagine the couples who actually got through this would get married in no time

Interesting how they were able to tolerate each other when it was just them, albeit being bored. But as soon as external factors came to play, that's when problems really started piling up: the bug, the crayon, the gun, the woman who purposely sabotaged the couple's trust. Perhaps these factors were amplified due to isolation, but if they had some discipline/goals, it would've been a lot easier. For $5 million, people can go through worse. So basically the professor pretty much wanted to fuck with them with the "treats", which I guess was part of the experiment.

Considering it gives you the time spent and the lights change, it's not as hard as it could be. Vsauce spent 3 days in a white room, lights always on, no clock, and he lost track of time very fast.

MrBeast casually showing how hard this challenge is irl:

Kate knew Mike has a trauma related to drugs and still gave him the candy, what a great wife👍🏻

I like how the movie subverts your expectations. Between the two, it’s expected that Mike will be the “weak link” in this room and that Kate is the sensible gardener of the relationship. Even Kate kind of dismisses Mike’ and his feelings as those of a spoiled rich boy. However, after the initial difficulties, he was right and in full control of himself in this space, and the movie did a great job of revealing how he is actually the gardener who has been struggling to care for Kate, a woman who completely dismisses his efforts and feelings. He was totally right about taking advantage of the treats. No matter the cost, it’s better to walk out with 4.9 mill than to go crazy and lose it all. Even if you could get through 50 days with no treats, if it’s going to be detrimental to your mental stability, it’s not worth it. Kate refuses to accept that Mike may need a little more stimulation than she does, which is foolish for a game where you’re supposed to be acting like a team. Even if she is the more responsible one, there’s a line between giving advice and taking control. Mike can have a crayon if he wants, he can draw you how he wants. How dare she get so angry just because he’s not a realist (As if she didn’t know that before?) Kates greatest flaw is her inability to process her emotions and instead store resentment. I honestly think she wanted him to have a breakdown. Why else would she even bother giving him the “candy” knowing his past?. She clearly sees Mike as a tool more than a person. Something to extend herself. Just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he hasn’t suffered. I could never imagine speaking the way she does to someone who not only has gone through their own trauma, but has also poured themselves into loving and taking care of you. It’s almost like she tries to use guilt and weaponized helplessness to keep him by her side. Also, even from a fully rational perspective, the ending shows she’s kind of just an idiot. You know there is a gun in this room, therefore you should be avoiding violence at all costs, and you should be aware that the game master is not going to play fair. How she still can even believe that what Simone wrote on the wall ( with a crayon the researchers must have given her) is stupid. Even if he did cheat, just wait a week? And even if he did cheat, that doesn’t justify pushing him into a wall. I’m glad Mike realized the abuse he was going through because even a stranger, after causing bodily harm ( and perhaps a concussion) would’ve shown enough concern to seek help. I would’ve understood treating the wound and waiting a few hours to see if he was lucid or if there was any lingering damage, but forcing someone to possibly bleed out for a wound you’ve caused them? What a fantastic metaphor for their entire relationship. Glad they didn’t get back together.

Jesus if that was only real. Money in the bank. Hell I could do it alone.

As someone who has battled severe depression where I haven’t left my house for months at a time, I really do wish this was real. Then I could be rich and not feel so guilty of being useless

The only way to win this game is if you can enjoy your partners company without ever having to say a word

Every couple should play this game just to see if they're compatible. That'd save them so much time! In reality, this is what the show Big Boss does to experiment on people.

4:30 "Kate apologizes for having behaved like a twat" I LOVE WHEN YOU THROW IN THESE IN

I think people don't realize how hard it is to be in situations like those... just because you're an introvert or whathever doesn't make you immune to boredom.

Don't know why but I'd really like to see Abed and Troy from community do this challenge. Bottle Episode

I would sketch boxes with numbers 1-20 and toss the crayon like a roller on it. We playing the best dnd campaign in the damn world for 50 days.

Mr beasts inspiration

These are movies I wouldnt waste time on, but hearing someone narrate them always sounds better

50 days without the outside world sounds like a vacation

No doubt the professor picks specific people out so he can mess with them to see the results. There's most likely a rule that you can't tell anyone what goes on in the room to keep the experiment a secret otherwise people would figure it out pretty quickly.

Cohabitation is the ruin of all relationships/friendships. Small annoyances accumulate interest.

"You've won, here's your $5 million." "How much does it cost for me to stay?" "Um... what?"

You are saving everyone so much time by making these videos! Thank you

My wife and I would nail this (we endured something similar during the height of the pandemic) without even bating an eye. Exercise, mental discipline and deep meaningful conversations would make 50 days go by like it's nothing

This is literally a Mr.beast video 😂

For the people that say this is a piece of cake and that you spend more time at home locked away all the time, y'all are really forgetting the biggest difference between spending time alone at home for days or a few weeks at a time to this room. Its that you're at home in a very familiar place im assuming with some form of entertainment to keep you from being bored, whether its your phone, television, social media, a gaming console, books, etc. This room provides none of that at all and only gives you the bare necessities needed to keep you alive. Many are gonna find themselves going crazy within the first 2 weeks of isolation.

Now imagine you have to spend 4000 days in a room and without a loved partner. Thats called prison.

honestly i dont know why this even seems difficult at all. 50 days is pretty easy in my opinion as long as you are aware what you are in for and you have proper discipline. for me i would make sure we have some sort of routine that we can improve on everyday like pushups situps running handstands etc. i would try to talk to the other person about stories in life for every single year of our lives for each day. then maybe some facts that we know. when the gun appears i would immediately make an activity out of it like trying to shoot a tiny object on the other side of the room. maybe they reload the gun each day. that would be another activity. there are just so many things you can do that are spontaneous and routine that could almost guarantee you can hold out 50 days maybe even more in my opinion.

Pretty sure I read a manga about this. Except in the manga the man kills the woman at some point in self-defense, then when the timer actually ends, the door never opened, but after the man banging in frustration against all objects in the room, it appears the key to the door was on the cupboard all along. He manages to escape. I'm unsure if the manga was about intentional stay for money or whether it was a kidnapping.

When Mr. Beast start investing in Hollywood😅

Ever since I became disabled and poor these recaps really keep me current and informed.

Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version

Why don’t recap channels like this show the movie title in the description

I could do this for 3 years. Give me food and water

I believe if couples both grew up poor: This ain't a challenge and y'all already know you're now a $50 mill rich couple on day 1 already. The End.

Absolutely couldn't do this on my own, but could easily do this with any one of my good friends. Conversation and sleep and a bit of exercise is about all I need, I can talk for hours with my friends no problem. Not to say it'd be easy, the food would definitely get to me because I like nice food, and the lack of sunlight and fresh air would be the worst, but for that amount of money it wouldn't even be a question. 50 days of determination and focus to do literally anything I could imagine for the rest of my life? Easy

Hey man, very clean, interesting and professional. Good sNice tutorialt.

MrBeast is that you?

This is such an amazing idea and you could have a TV series with several couples too :D

You can't give up now, it's just a season. Whatever you are going through. No matter how hard it is... It will pass. Better days are coming ahead ❤️

I feel like Rain Man getting through these movies in just a few minutes. 😂

Has anyone else noticed that in the movie time ends up going backwards 7 days? Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed it? I'll even give time marks for the movie to prove that time goes back. At 21 minutes precisely in the movie the clock shows 24 days left and then at 26 minutes precisely in the movie it shows 31 days left. Was that an error or something 🤔

For a strong relationship I personally believe this would be extremely easy.

FINALLY! A happy ending to this kind of plot. I was so touched even by a recap that I almost cried. Great work ! :))

I'm surprised Mike is drawing the sixtine la chapel on a wall instead of using the crayon,bit by bit everyday. To keep him entertained

Where do I sign for this?

I still think leaving the room 2 days before winning is stupid...

To anyone who has ever been stuck at home or in a hospital with an illness. You know you could complete that challenge

That food drink was unforgivable

Once you have the pencil, it's a piece of cake: you use it to draw a chess board (or any other game board) and use bits of the food container to make the pieces. Once you have the revolver, you remove the bullets and use it as a dice, by stuffing dinstinct stuff in the chambers... There you go: you can play Risk or Monopoly!! There games easily last for 10hrs+

I feel like this challenge would be pretty easy if you went in with a halfway decent plan. The trick is just knowing when to get away from each other using the bathroom as a quiet place to be alone. Obviously the room is designed to fuck with your relationship so keeping that in mind is important

This is basically sensory deprivation and it is extremely hard even tho it looks easy. Vsauce Michael made an episode about it where he explains everything even the white interrior has a reason. It's very hard and a torture for a human being for even a shorter than 50 days i guess.

Shining (the book not the movie) is such a good take on this

A single ipad with unlimited battery and we vibing everyday

Man, you don't know how grateful I am right now! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I'm in a happy, wholesome marriage but HARD NO to this, we'd go nuts. I'd probably "spend" all the money while we're in that awful room (I love treats) and Al would leave, fed up with my spending spree 😂

“ Mike tries to get busy with Kate ” THAT TOOK ME OUTT .

My theory is that if couples have nothing to do, but be with each other, they start to show there true selves, or to see if they go crazy and if they can handle it

I'd say yes to this. Certainly easier than Squid Games 😂

Everyone says they'll do it until they're actually there. This is torture. I couldn't even imagine. No source of entertainment for 50 days.... that's 1200 hours, 72,000 minutes. Guys, that is an INSANE amount of time to have NOTHING to do. I guarantee if we placed the people "willing" to do it in a room for even 12hours with nothing to do they would struggle big time.

Someone needs to invent this as a public dating service. Where 2 random strangers get's choosen.

Seems like an amazing getaway and a great retirement plan.

Me and my partner would have a blast doing this, I just know the two of us would have a laugh about most of the stuff that happens 😂

As an introvert for me this wouldn't be a challenge at all 😂

5:45 you know you’re bored when you take the time to read the label on your clothes😭

Mr. Beast took a lot from this movie I see

Give me just 500,000 Dollars and i will stay for 2 years🤣🤣🤣

I really enjoy stories like these. It doesn’t take a major Hollywood movie budget to make a thought-provoking movie - ‘what I would’ve done in that situation?’

If it would be me that professor who organized the experiment go broke 😂😂😂 I can even hear their "Please, go, you live here a third year, I don't have any money left"😂😂😂😂

As a generation that went through the pandemic and barley we only had technology to survive we could not do this

I can't believe they made a movie about my dorm life. and with a prize that I actually never get to take.

I could literally just sit there for 50 days straight and not go insane. That's just me, though.

For introvert this is just a piece of cake!

Every new relationship should go through this. If you and your partner can get through this, you know you have a keeper.

Please. Covid has prepared me for this. Stuck in house for three months with a husband and kid. This is a piece of cake.

Staying more than 2 days without living the front door makes me feel like I am losing my mind .. I can't live without smelling the fresh air outside..

Ayo you can put me in the room with my worst enemy for 50 days and I’d be cooling😂

This is clearly how MrBeast got inspired for his video

I would do this for a year under more extreme circumstances for 50 million no questions asked.

This would be such an easy challenge since I'm the quiet and leave me alone type. Make the reward double and I stay for a year

I think one of the greatest "add some meaning to life" thing you could do is to start designing something you want to make. In my case it's a novel. If you ever find yourself stuck in prison for 12 years with guards that punish you if you talk, or stuck in one of these experiments of being stuck in a room with no entertainment, or stuck on a space ship... Or, the more likely case of having to spend 1 hour on a subway... You can always continue to work on that project, like my novel, in your head. Even if you never succeed in creating the project, your designing makes things more interesting and allows you to go back and forth again and again through out your entire life experience and your entire library of knowledge from science to literature to just dreaming... One must imagine sisyphus happy, and if he could do this, i think it would be one of the most effective way he has in taking some level of control over his life. His body may be bound in fruitless labor, but his mind would be free to dwell on whatever he chooses to think about.

Mike was actually a really good guy

There's a more extreme version of this. It's a webtoon titled money game and pie game. They basically just throw random people together in a building, tell them to stay for a specific amount of days to get money, basically the same premise but without bathroom, with more rules (like the rules that say they need to be inside their own room after a certain hour) etc.

The way I would literally sleep through those 50 days

My toxic trait is thinking I can do it alone!

My only dream ....staying alone....n boom gets Million dollars😎

Everyone says this is torture but they didn't grow up poor. Without internet, food, heat, hot water. etc.

For someone who just likes to sleep, I don't think this would be nearly as much of a problem.

Proposal day two, after deciding how to retire together.

Movie name pls

To be honest I think doing this experiment would be absolute bliss! I call it a win-win 😎

as someone who was quarantined in and out for 1.5 months during pandemic, i can definitely do this for $5M 😆

When text to voice reads to you. You get some hilarious results.

Me if my parents did this: S H A V E

50 days is just about enough time to make up your mind on what to invest the money into and how to make the most out of it. They could have just fired the gun for fun and to make it impossible to use it in a bad way later on. They could have given the bug poop to eat. The crayon and candy could have been used to create a game like chess. Dreams offer plenty of entertainment. Solitary confinement would be hard but two people. eh. Emotionally stable mature people wouldn't have a problem but then again many people are emotionally unstable and undisciplined and have not experienced significant difficulties in life and therefore easily get out of control over minor non issues

It was pretty much the same in the mental hospital 2 years ago. They lock you in your room at least 5 hours a day where you are supposed to question yourself and your life. There were board games, a television and some couches but nothing more. Every morning, the nurses gathered everyone at the nursery for daily body examinations. And when nighttime comes, we all gather at the same place again to take the pills. If someone had the balls to escape the appeal, they would have serious troubles like being confined in a chamber, stay longer at the hospital or even forced to take their meds by injection. Also, you better not creep out or having a burn out there. Even if you were one of the teenagers in the most secured unit of the hospital, they would immediately send you to lockdown and tell the doctor about it. The moments when you see the doctor are decisive, you say one wrong word and it’s over for you. So I had to lie about everything to be freed after 4 months. Otherwise I would have spent a whole year or maybe more if I was myself. They sent me there after a burn out at school. Then, for some reason I had « Psychotic Symptoms » according to a doctor I’ve never known before. But regarding the situation in that « child friendly unit », it’s not surprising that 70% of all patients in my unit were depressed. But thanks to the Social Security, my family did not had to worry about the 50€ they farm each day on me.

yeah no me and my boyfriend would never manage this💀

I'd give this a try...I mean, I talk to myself regularly (well, it's "thinking outloud" lol) and hopefully wouldn't become bored...I'd probably think about what I'd do with the money....that'd keep someone busy in his or her thoughts!
