"Jim has all the flexes of a youtuber" Truest thing ever

Jimme putting the toy next to Caz to watch over her is the most awkwardly cute thing I've seen all day

One of the rescues my team saved a few years ago was a girl that had been born into enslavement after her mother was trafficked. She was treated like an animal her whole life and then sexually abused when she came of age. It was such a wild experience rehabilitating her and teaching her how life is supposed to be. She used to have such sad reactions like whimpering on the ground for food or spreading her legs when a man walked in front of her. I'm so glad we got her out of that hellish life. She's finally starting to speak as of last month.

I love how the ending reflects the message of the movie. WE DON'T GET TO SEE. Because it's Jim's life and he is not longer under observation, all we get to do as the consuming audience is watch him walk away and understand his life it's for us to watch and dissect. I think the people who complain about it don't understand you're not meant to feel satisfied

Basically, this story is about humans being placed into confinement and not able to see the world outside while the robots are free to roam around they want.

Mystery recapped has the most monotone, exciting, and calming voice ngl

It’s so cute the way Jim puts his little toy beside Caz to comfort her. So wholesome.

They are so good at recapping that I often couldn't remember if I watched the film or just the recap...

The end cheapens the movie a lot: not only it’s unlikely that he will overcome the system so easily , but he also overcome the fear of being outside, and not provided for. It’s even posible that the woman will have sited him to stay , as he has no skills to live outside. Also with that they negated the psychological impacts of capture like the Stockholm syndrome.

This is basically how animals are treated in our world.

What is sad about this is that it seems even in this plot of a story that Jim still has more comfortable living space then many prisoners do right now. Humans already do far worse to each other then theses cyborgs seem to have done here.

Dude, I really want to thank you for curating this channel. You've saved me so much time (probably more than I can count) avoiding bad movies and buying good ones. Thank you so much, truly.

Jim is so cute! Like the way he doesn’t completely understand things is so adorable and wholesome

"She sends him to his bedroom" *Bro got grounded by a random woman*

Okay I LOVE Jimme. He seems genuinely so sweet even without any social ability, he is still empathetic and helpful. I really like the way he's written :)

So I feel like there is a big difference between cyborgs keeping us captive, and us keeping animals captive. (Assuming the cyborgs can actually understand such concepts) the cyborgs can directly, and clearly communicate with us. They can ask us if we want to be free, and they could also help rehabilitate us much more thoroughly than we can do for animals. The reason we have to keep some animals in captivity is because even though some would rather be free, they dont know what to expect, or even have a concept of expectation in the wild to begin with. And in the circumstance of animals being perminantly injured, or under threat of poaching, or habitat loss, and we keep them in captivity for those reasons, we cannot directly communicate to the animal that it is being kept captive for those reasons, but cyborgs to humans could have this communication. I feel like if you had a race of cyborgs as this movie has, then they would be smart enough to understand everything I just went over, and they would determine that the best course of action for our preservation would be to assist us in our natural habitats rather than hold us up. Any time they see our populations dwindling, or any kind of trouble threatening us, they can literally come, and ask us how they could help. Something we cannot do to other animals.

The dark truth, this is a very mind-bending film. And it does portray how animals see us, watching them while they live in artificial perfection

This is dark but i guess its true that people that grow up one way it becomes their norm for them but would be so different to us it feels like how people in North Korea must feel when they get to the outside world great great recap as always and great movie

I like how he puts his thoughts at the end of the videos, and his opinions. Feels genuine

When I watched the actual show it really felt real. This video made me FEEL what they were trying to portray in the show. Thank you... it was a lot more deep with this explanation.

Hamsters : They have finally experienced our miserable lifes

4:03 “Jim has all the fixings of a KZfaqrs” Adam just pissed off an half an entire generation with one sentence lmao

_"Jim has all the fixin's of a KZfaqr."_ I kek'd.

For an animal in captivity they could never know what is on the outside, so they remain happy like Jim, it’s only when you take them from the outside where it becomes wrong, in my opinion, although living in captivity leads usually to a more easy and carefree life, since you don’t have to worry about surviving, but it takes away the meaning of even being alive in the first place.

Wait, aren't cyborgs just humans with implants? So did they just start treating the descendants of those who opted out as inferior, or are they just AI machines that look human enough to be called cyborgs by mistake? "I will keep you in my people zoo where I will watch you for old time sake." - An AI in real life

This helps to emphasize the tragic social injustice that has occurred to many people. who were never provided with supportive role models to teach and lead them or given any encouragement and self confidence to experience and participate in their potential to find out what life in this wprld has to offer them. Besides watching t.v, the internet and junk food.

I love the moral lesson of this movie. This really brings out the feelings of the animals that are being held alive captive in the zoo. I really feel bad about the other humans now

This movie has a lot of potential. It feels like it's half done. A really good half and then an abrupt ending because they didn't want to finish it. Truthfully would work best as a full fledged movie instead of short.

"He shows her the TV with a whole 5 channels" British people: yeah we had that growing up

Good movie but I really wish we had seen more of how the surviving humans live and how the cyborgs hunt them, as well as how this world came to be.

7:06 Gee, I hadn't thought of that connection!

Confused boi just doesn’t know how to interact with females and just has good intentions and it’s so adorably wholesome 😭✋🏻

I love these kinds of short films, They have both a story and a metaphorical meaning buried deep inside it, kinda like the “The drowned giant” from LDAR. I have to say, although I haven’t seen many, there are so many short films that are criminally underrated. Good find Mystery Recapped team and Adam!

The film also shows that without an external source of information you will never guess that captivity isn’t your natural environment.

I thank you for your channel and your wonderful video! It got me started on some amazing, fascinating and, thought-provoking films and I really like the genre of films and short films you are dealing with in your videos. Also, your voice is very soothing and your style of storytelling is very pleasant and calming. Thank you for such an excellent contribution!

My man's literally knew literally nothing about women other than whoopee and helped her escape without hesitation after she destroyed his prized possessions. Jimme was a true Chad living in a world designed for a Kyle.

Born in Captivity Time's your worst enemy Your face is getting older You try to keep your age Inside this golden cage Your heart is getting colder Don't you feel You're slowly dying Day by day They treat you like an animal You've gotta fight You've gotta start a riot So let's wake up Your sleeping lion

i love all the constant thumbs up Jim gives the watching androids throughout the movie. great comedic effect. Prediction: he'll stop giving them when he starts realizing everything is a lie

I just gotta say I love your videos lmao . They are so addicting and your voice is good for narrating

1:31 *Collecting them and watching TV are his only hobbies.* The stereotypical American: *You and I, We’re Not So Different*

Hands down the best recap channel there is 👌

This my 1st time being not early but i still love your video

This was brilliant. Thank you.

I know this is supposed to be an introspective on animals being placed in zoos, but there is a big difference from non-aware animals compared to us, those animals don't think like we animals do

I've watched so many movies I never heard of, thanks mystery

Thanks for the cc

Oh oh my gosh I remember watching this! Thank you for covering it it felt like I was watching it again 🥰

Jim was actually such a himbo I love bit

Jim has all the fixings of a youtuber 😂

If someone puts their favorite toy or action figure beside you to keep u accompanied then its the highest honor the person can bestow you.

Ending feels similar to The Truman Show, we don't get to see how it ends, because the main character has escaped his audience.

living in a cage seems like my life

"Imagine if humans are kept in cages, the animals will be happy af

What made me upset more than the movie is that the aquarium in 7:11 doesn't even have an island for the turtle to climb on top.

“Jimme has a tiny apartment with only three rooms.” My studio is offended.

We are NOT doing this to ourselves if we're an endangered species we'll never get a better future if we all did this to ourselves

speedrunning the video so I can make a comment that people would actually like

This is so true. I have a story similar to this I had my birds locked in a cage of years when I was a child not knowing and found it quite fascinating when they don't get out when I open the cage windows sometimes. Now for me it's genuinely sad

This channel is lit I love his content

the reason why some animals are kept in cage it's because some of them is wounded has to be sedated put into cage until it's wound has healed or if not & their not suitable to go in the wild the zoo would take care of them

am addicted to mystery recap, this guy will make millions in few years to come

The art that Caz made is actually good

I remember reading a documented story of a team of people who helped raise a lioness and tried bringing her back into the wild. The lioness didn't know how to survive and would wait patiently for the people to give her food instead of hunting. They even took her cose to a pride but she didn't interact well with them I feel bad for her as she became dependent and ended up not fit to be sent back into the wild since she couldn't survive on her own. Hopefully Jim manages to have a better chance of surviving and actually living life since he actually can talk/interact with other people :')

Movie makers:Lets make a movie on how animals feel when they are kept captive Also movie makers:Shows the captive guy happy and enjoying 🧐

Adam, as long as you narrate, I'll be here listening, i really like the way you narrate. It's so clear and I like your accent whatever other say. Totally straight though.

Thank u so much for your recaps good movies to watch

thank you for giving your take at the end.

Thanks for saving me time. I’m so sick of these films with unfinished/unsatisfying ending that the filmmakers think are artsy and creative. I was interested enough by your recap to want to watch the whole movie, until you let us know that the final scene is just Jim walking across a landscape with a tree. After being confined to the three rooms the whole film, I would want to see Jim’s reaction to the outside world. To meeting Caz there, to meeting other humans etc. But of course, let’s just end the movie abruptly. Screw these filmmakers. Every film seems to end like this these days. It’s just lazy, not creative.

Yea my pets are way happier in "captivity" then in the wild. Especially since most of them are considered prey and not predators. I would hate to live in constant fear of being eaten especially at night. Such a horrible way to live. They are comfortable have large enclosure with plenty of outside time and the best food possible and a giant bodyguard who loves them.

I like how he keeps giving a thumbs up and the cyborgs respond.

This is really good concept. Hope someone make full movie like this

This looks so similar to Rio about how Blu and Jewel's situation except for the cyborgs.

This needs to be a full feature length film I love this plot

They completely ignored the fact that a lot of animals placed in captivity now, were placed there because they were injured and need treatment.

Love the narration 👍❤️

this movie had a deep unexpected meaning lol...

This is my opinion on the topic, he did touch on it at the end but didn’t dive into it, the movie was suppose to symbolize how a animal born into confinement knows nothing but that and that is there home.. much like domesticated cats. And how a animal born outside of confinement brought into it having negative effects on the animal. But much like the wild cat. Once a domesticated cat finds outside it wants to explore it… that’s my take

Since humans are social animals by nature... how Jim is able to live carefreely all by himself in a totally isolated "captive prison" without having any actual interaction with other humans or living beings FOR YEARS is beyond me lol Even extreme introverts like me need social interaction every once in a while so my mind won't go insane. Also, shouldn't he be sick to the stomach eating (cereal every day WTF?) and doing the exact same things every day? That CAN'T be good for any human's physical and mental health. Humans are highly complex and intelligent so we require much more novelty and stimulation to keep our brain healthy and active compared to other animal species, that's why we LOVE entertainment so much. If Jim continued to live that way and the cyborgs didn't provide him with anything new to explore/play with, he would be driven nuts eventually :v Unless your brain has been heavily damaged/altered in some way, making you an "abnormal" human, there is no way you can be happy-go-lucky living a life like this.

I watch mystery recap before bed every day :). Makes me feel like i got the most out of my day.

Jim absolutely loved it in the zoo and for all we know he might have hated it in the wild

The twilight zone had an episode similar to this. Crazy how far that show was ahead of its time.

I like your vids thank you for taking the time out your day to do this for us

This is a really touching film and comes to bring perspective of how technology can be a danger to our lives as human beings.

"The food doesn't taste like what it's supposed to taste like," no, that's just a microwave meal

There are a lot of stories about "if humans werent the top of the food chain, would we be treated like animals?" And to a degree maybe. But the one thing that separates us and animals is communication. I think if animals could communicate to us like we do to each other, they would be treated very differently. Also yes there are some bad zoos. But zoos and aquariums are more hospitals and foster homes/shelters than prisons. Movie makers get that wrong a lot.

Jim has all the fixers of a youtuber,thats the best thing i had ever heard in days :D

Wow... This channel is awesomeness!!!!!

These short films are so much more interesting than Hollywood movies, they dive into subjects that are both controversial and thought provoking

Wow, over 1000 views in less than 5 minutes, that's incredible.

Even a short movies can be shortened, this is a 12 min original length movie good job.

I just love how laks anodised become about captivity that all it takes is sneaking into a bin to escape. Its like learn behavior from former humans.

Mystery recapped, this film 'captivity', made me reflect on how things went in 2020 and how we were the humans inside their houses as part of some experiment. Strong message Delivered from this film. Greetings to you.

i just saw a two sentence horror story in a video that literally says ''i am an AI designed to detect endanger species'' ''homo-sapiens are endangered in the wild''

This was a cool movie/recap.

So people really are comparing fish in a fish tank to people held in captivity? Really?

Amazing, Just amazing....

"All the fixings of a youtuber." haha fucking golden

This channel>>>>watching the actual movie I can’t explain it lol I’ve literally watched 10 potentially hour long movies in a span of 30 mins ! 🔥

Bless your heart

You sure those are ment to be cyborgs , and not androids ?
