"He is short-sighted" "I guess he didn't see it coming" lol ...the puns are the best part of these recaps 🤣

I'd just have to accept my fate if I lived in that world.

“You are human. I am human.” Done. I’m sure they both share a love for pickles, too, or SOMETHING. Dude doesn’t have to blind himself like what

I do feel like a lot of people force themselves into relationships out of obligation and a fear of being alone. Plus society itself keeps pushing the idea that you NEED to be in one in order to be happy or normal.

The most messed up part of the movie was when the guy tried to end up with the heartless women, commentating that it can be seen as better to be in an abusive relationship, than no relationship at all. But honestly the deal about being able to choose to be any animal you want sounds to good to be true, I would instantly choose to roam free as a bird or a cat than live in that society.

"I guess he didn't see it coming" "Good thing he is a lefty" "This is some dobby the house elf shit" - absolute gold😂😂😂

Ad: “There are hot singles in your area!” The cops: “Ladies and gentlemen, we got ‘em”

I was thinking about how David still took his brother even after he became a dog and i just couldn’t imagine loosing your brother. When the heartless girl killed bob it was so sad. Now he’s lost his brother twice

You know what i hate MORE than a bad movie?A cliffhanger ending of a GOOD movie!

I always wonder how these dystopian things started. I can imagine some politician roaring about imprisoning single people and somehow convinces enough people to think it's worth implementing as a law.

If being single is a crime then I’m serving a life sentence.

"...they're turned into an animal of their choosing" i would 100% embrace the single life

Honestly, if you think about it this is a commentary on the social attitude towards marriage, couples, and romance. Being single, or virgin gets you mocked and made fun of by your peers, coworkers, and often it's assumed you have something very very wrong in order to not have a partner, even when some choose not to, or can't, there's nothing wrong with not being about to find a gf/bf, but you're seen as an undesirable human. The film takes this to an extreme, with the intense laws on partnership, small metaphorical commentary scattered around like the forceful nature to have something in common, the demotion to "animal" when someone can't find a partner, and people like the runaways, who represent incels who are the very extreme end. Partnership and romance has slowly turned from a private, sacred thing into a Toy, a good or service, and most emphatically a social status.

"Not being in a relationship is considered a crime" Me: smiles a little bit

If the matching trait can be a physical attribute, why didn't they both dye their hair the same color or opt for something less drastic than going blind?

Watched this movie for a scriptwriting class and it's great. Became my favorite movie. Wanna add that when the Nosebleed girl and boy started to have a rocky relationship, the hotel gave them a child because apparently that fixes relationships

When you really think about it the premise of the movie is very terrifying being forced to find love within 45 days or be turned into an animal and if you try to leave your considered a loner and your hunted like game so either way if you don't want to participate or if you can't find a partner your screwed no matter what

In real life, i think it wouldin't be that hard to find a mate, cause surely a man and a women in the same place would go 44 days without finding someone so they would be like "well crap, we gotta date or turn into animals"

I like the metaphorical representation of many real issues we encounter in our societies : -The deadline for finding a partner is 45 days, like in societies people are expected to be married by a certain age - The choice of a partner is based on superficial attributes (because the goal is to be married before the deadline, better simplify things up ) - If you don't find a partner in 45 days you're transformed into an animal to lead a purposeless life, just like in societies they think that those who didn't marry and make a family lead a purposeless life. - the loners are the opposite extreme, and they exist in real life too

I've always been curious about this film but never got around to watching it. Thankyou

The “he didn’t see that coming” joke was so funny

"Good thing he's a lefty", "This is some Dobby the house elf ishhh" &"He didn't see that coming" 😂🤣😂 absolute comedic gold. However on a serious note it does illustrate eloquently how much people are willing to change themselves to fit their partner.

"If you remain single after 45 days, you become an animal of your choice..." Me: Remain single, become T-Rex, dominate world, profit.

Its a true horror movie for people who wants to live single throughout their life

"He didn't see it coming" - oh that was brutal..

Buddy, I salute your ability to make this ridiculous plot sound intense! Almost as good as when you did The Thinning, Parts 1 & 2!

If short/long sighted is a defining characteristic for look for a relationship I'd be in trouble - since a problem with my eyes makes both my close up and distance vision extremely blurred lol

On the bright side: at least they get to choose what animal they get to be.

i really like this channel this dude has a very calm voice and explains the movie in a very understandable way

I like how it's called the lobster purely because of a fairly throwaway line right at the start lol, like they intentionally called it that just to mess with people and make them wonder "why is it called the lobster?" (5 mins into the film) "...oh"

When he says "wow this is dobby the house elf shi*" I laughed so hard🤣🤣

It can't be that hard to find a "matching quality". Just tell them you two have the same hair colour and call it a day xD

If this was real I'd definitely choose to be a Jellyfish or a tardigrade because both of them are immortal. In the wild the strongest live, but in humans the smartest is the last to stand.

The law in this film: "You must have a romantic partner or you will be killed" Aromantic people: "Welp, guess I'll die-"

This man is so calming and funny at the same time. I love it

I thought the lesson of the film was that similar attributes doesn't define a relationship, and then the ending ruined it with the man blinding himself too

I love this movie, and i couldn't keep in some of the symbols that shocked me... Reserved activities for couples such as a table for two. Privacy, intimacy and sharing 1:1 is socially acceptable between people who are connected through their "couple-monogamous-normative" dynamic, but if it's outside that normative, such as singles, it becomes frowned upon. His brother who couldn't find a partner becomes a dog, so many dogs alter the food chain, a lobster which can live for longer periods of time is praised. The loner who is willing to embrace their loneliness is the other half-praised road that the social norm can accept along with being in a relationship with someone. Chastised for self pleasure inside the hotel People who live their lives single are frowned upon when enjoying their sexuality by themselves through masturbation and self exploration, being the social norm to "enjoy more with someone than you do when you're alone". The knife and the mirror, is he willing to go blind to have matching attributes? Are you willing to lose part of yourself to become more like your potential partner and fit in?

This simply proves the point, "Love is blind."

The unnecessary aspect is the attributes matching part. I mean if I really need to find myself a partner, I believe in opposites attract Mantra! Having polar differences and coming together to co exist despite that seems cooler to me.

"Singles must find partner in 45 days or turned to animals" gold diggers will not matter any more lol.

Getting turned into an animal of your choice is a punishment? *I see this as an absolute win!*

"She left him for another short-sighted man. I guess he didn't see it coming." god damn it

you said that "i guess he didnt see it coming" pun with such a calm voice i almost didnt notice it was a joke

It took me until 10 minutes to realize that by “short sighted” you meant near sighted vision, not the lack of foresight.

People who were single their entire life: *Guess i'll die*

This channel is amazing! Complete breakdown on movies I would never take the time to watch

Your voice is soooo soothing ! I literally watch one mistery Recap always before bed Actually relaxes me and helps me drift off

You *know* there's a group of people who purposely don't get a partner because they'd rather be an animal.

If this were real, I'm screwed big time lmao Edit: Now I have questions, do you remember your life when becoming an animal? How did they achieve that kind of science, did they cure cancer??

I've been watching your videos for a long time and I love them keep up the good work

We need more movies like this that call out sigmaphobia

"most chose dogs, which negatively affects ecosystem and foodchain" so.... you guys could try this thing where you DONT turn single people into animals?

Bruh in real life if it came down to being turned an animal or being with someone who doesn’t relate to you in no way shape or form we all gonna pretend to like each other

The fact that he said "Good thing David's a lefty" in a such calming voice, I can't

It's so addictive listening him to narrate.. Makes you feel like you are reaching the 7th Heaven and going further and further..

Imagine the no single people law being applied to kids as much as adults.

Furrys "I see this as an absolute win"

“Guess he didn’t see it coming” DAMN MAN, RUTHLESS

Thank you for this gift ....much appreciated! Liked & duly subscribed Bless you & all reading this!

When it said you'd be turned into an animal, I thought it would be random. But when he said "an animal of your choice" I was like helllll yeah

“He just didn’t see it coming” Man I felt that one 😭🤣

"He didn't see it coming." lol 😂 SUBSCRIBED!

I’ve been having nightmares watching this content but the voice is so soothing and it sounds so cool I keep doing the same thing over and over 😭

Living in this world would be easy as cake. Everybody would want a partner, you wouldn't reject nobody. Even with no matching attributes, you could just lie about them... I mean, who doesn't like cake? That could be a matching attribute for many people.

If I fail to find a romantic partner and gets to choose on what animal, I wanna be a Tortoise. Cuz they cool

Not being In a relationship is a crime Me: CRIMENEL

I absoloutly love what they did there. The movie might not be for everyone - but its one of a kind and i recommend watching it !!

Doesn’t matter what side you take, eventually someone surfaces to lead and tells you how to live. Best to not try and be a follower, but instead a leader.

I would lose immediately before the law goes into effect

"David replies: he wants to be lobster because they live for over 100 years" Turritopsis dohrnii: Am i a joke to you?

0:42 Yes the modern technique, very good *sips tea*

I just wanna say a big THANK YOU to mystery recapped You guys have no idea how much you matters ❤️

I have a secret plan Psychopath: Goes ahead and writes it in a journal

Haha this is one of the few movies I actually knew about before your recap! That's actually awesome lol

Thank you for the great movie

i'd want to become a wandering albatross. they have a very long life span and can cross entire oceans. I really like the idea of having wings and being able to fly so yeah

My friends will still turn into animals even if they are given 200 years to find partner/girl friend 😂😂😂

What an amazing cast!!!

Thank god for this channel, I don't think I would have sat through this movie.

At this point I'm watching this 24/7

Wow, they really do single out those who are not in a relationship

You should do Dogtooth too! It’s quite a trip!

Keep making with this

thank you mr recap for recapping us these movies

I would rather be a cat than a human so I’d just keep requesting to be turned into a cat without having to wait 45 days in the hotel.

I see this as an absolute win!

What’s that song you use in the beginning? Sounds really awesome!

How do people come up with these type of movies? 😂

Have you ever done a recap of 'Okja'? Great job again my friend!

Lanthimos! Love from 🇬🇷Greece Thank you!

8:57 the way the maid dances 💀

"this is some dobby the house elf shit" said in the most monotone voice ever made me lose my shit. I laughed for a good 5 minutes haha

Guess I'll be a the most wanted single man. . . :(

Let's not lie here watching mystery recapped is fire🔥🔥

I love the channel but I don’t want to spoil the films I want to watch by watching your videos!

The amount of puns and the seriousness of the voice makes me laugh hysterically

The intro makes me feel every emotion at once

This is perfect ! 🤣😂

The fact they have to find someone with the same attribute, which seems like it can be anything makes me wonder how the population can sustain itself. Also there is the problem with the loners in that they seem to want to prove that everyone in a hollow relationship but at the same time they are destroying an real relationship that one might form

If you get to keep your memories and intelligence as an animal, then it would be nice to choose the "immortal jellyfish" (Turritopsis dohrnii). Bonus points if you manage to get a group with you and create a advanced jellyfish civilization that might be able to outlast humanity.
