The dog outside the bar recognized him every time, lol.

That was an extremely sad movie, being left to live with all those memories and guilt is literal hell

This looks stressful. Doesn’t sound fun being this kid of shapeshifter

He shape-shifted for that long and had to do it so many times his body count must be thousands

I love how all actors that played as the shape shifter had to be the same person while being different people in real life

Imagine if his son was also a shapeshifter. Theory, the reason he died was because he shapeshifted into another person by mistake. Living his old dead. Basically inherited "power"

At the end, he turned into his true self. He shouldn't try to escape that process which he thought was rotting in a first place.

Sooooo….if he had just let the rot take over after he accidentally killed his mom, then wouldn’t he have just cocooned and turned back into his real self? Seems like he could have avoided killing a lot of innocent people that way.

This is probably what the genie would turn me into if I wish for immortality.

Just like Morph said on the X-Men cartoon, whenever he got in trouble he just went to school as the principal.

This was mournful and raw. Maybe none of us really know who we truly are, or what we will eventually become. Memories are heavy things indeed.

A random kid: "dad left to get milk and he hasn't come back since" Fact: "he's not your dad, he's a shape shifter"

Max is still his friends amidst everything....and he recognizes him....it's amazing the unconditional love animals have🥰

how did he go so many years before the movie began with nobody talking about the murders though? surely this would be a common thing before the movie even takes place?

Take a shot every time he says "shapeshifter"

cool ability, but so inconvenient that each body doesnt last long 😅

he lived and killed his whole life out of fear. if he had just let the rot happen years before he would have aged and lived normally

So basically... He can shapeshift into whoever he wants..he has a limited time with each identity..and in the end, he assumed if he didn't shift he would die...but It wasn't death he was feeling, it was just his original form trying to come back... And he stole forms SO LONG, he didn't recognize himself because he had become an old man.. and he started as a kid.. sheesh😬.. talk about growing up fast🤓

Didn't expect the cocoon part .. good one 🙏

So in short, this whole time he had the power to transform into those he touches for a only a short period of time but because he never let himself go through the full process of his ability he never knew the full extent? Damn, countless deaths do no reason

Amazing how the possessed body didn't know he had kids but know where his regular dining place and bar are.

Nice way to capture how we're all shape shifters constantly being shaped by our memories and experiences.

I like how the rot arrives quickly which creates urgency to kill and shape-shift. Be a pretty dang stressful existence though.

I am not entirely sure if this film is attempting to show the perils of hook-up culture, or cherishing the life that a person has.

How long do you want the story stretched? Director: Yes

So basically if he stopped taking over other people's bodies he would return to his true form and that would stop countless deaths

Can I suggest putting the names of the films in your description box as well as mention in videos? Would be very helpful in tracking them down! Best! .

if that mutant-power was real, I suggest he "take-over" all the terrorists and criminals one after another, so the bad people would be lessened

Interesting concept. Looks the story about a deranged serial killer and the shape-shifting was all in his head imo

No he did not just blur it and show the photo as the thumbnail

I've been bingeing all night, love love love y'alls content. Keep up the excellent work 🖤🖤🖤🤙

Each shapeshifting should last 10 years at least. This guy is shapeshifting before shitting, that's hell.

Very sad. SO basically, his power is to take the appearance and memories of the people he use his power on, which the first was his mom by mistake. But it only last so long and the duration was getting shorter and shorter with the years like the effect of a drug on an addict. The rot is just the turning back process that allow him to retrieve his appearance. But after so many years of shifting, in the end, the person he become which is him, is nobody, because he never lived as this person. So now what will he do ? Continue to live in the prism of others by lying on who he is, or try to be himself and make a living of his own ? I think that is the real question the film ask. Be yourself, or you will never be anybody

I feel like the deeper meaning of this story is, that we‘re often unhappy with our life, and wish to be someone else. The only thing he needed to do, was being himself in the first place. He hurt himself and all the people around him.

So he killed all those people for nothing

Guy couldn't accept death so he brings death to others... Smh

This kind of like the series called The Outsider but that character had more powers apart from shape shifting.

My interpretation is that this 'shapeshifter' is representative of a toxic mentality. The people we 'take over' are the people we hurt, either intentionally or by accident. We constantly change ourselves to be what someone else wants, rather than who we are, all to work our way into their life. Only at the end, when we 'break the cycle' as it were do we become our actual self, filled with the regret and memory of all the lives we corrupted along the way.

So all those ppl died for nothing ?

11:51 looks exactly like Gandalf lmao

MOVIE TITLE is called LIFE CHANGER

Actually somewhat ironic how the Shapeshifter was looking for the same kind of unconditional and pure love his mother gave him while being totally oblivious to the fact that the dog Max recognizes him in every form, every single time and loves him unconditionally.

Strange, that he didn’t take the memories of a biologist and try to figure out the hows and whys of his body.

this post came up on my youtube feed… less than a minute in & I was hooked & decided to watch the movie… wow, great story & a great recap, thank you.

Nice story!! Really good thinking !!

Everyone is neglecting the real MVP here. The dog!

A shape shifters that kill is a doppleganger and monster.

I think we can all agree Robert is too cool to be alive. Suspicious.

New drinking game - sink a shot everytime he says "shapeshifter" and see how long you last before you pass out.

Maybe their son didn't die but just shapeshifted into another person. Since he was just 3, he could've just not known his adress and was put to a mental hospital as an adult with a mind of a 3 year old.

Thanks.

An interesting plot and the way the story was told.

Great way to budget a movie with no one single main actor or actress to pay big bucks, but a nightmare for casting and production.

I love this kind of movies so much better than all the comic stuff

Moral of the story: be careful with what you become.

Someone call the Winchester bros.

This was surprisingly original.

Interesting movie production-wise: It had no main character. In different sections of the movie a different actor/actress was the main lead and had to immerse themselves into that one role. How interesting and challenging. It's also probably the reason why there isn't a household name actor in this movie; Those usually hog all the attention and at the same time are easier to market (easier to promote a movie by having 1 main actor travel around the world and give interviews). In this movie however, you have 6-7 actors playing the main role. Interesting, different, unpopular approach.

That entity is pure wisDUMB.

thats really me right there cheers

so good movies do actually still come out nice

This is a good movie

Awesome Canadien film!

Wow, a story with no ending. I want my 10 minutes back. Lolol

One of my favorite movies

This is very reminiscent of a book called Touch by Claire North. Defo worth a read

You have no idea how grateful I am for you! Because of you, I will never watch this long dry ahh movie.😩Thank you!

I've seen this movie and it's awesome!

Honestly, I'd rather die then to get through life like that while putting others lives in danger without even realizing it. I mean like wtf man!

Awesome movie

I suppose it's about how one shouldn't run from guilt, as the longer one does the worse it'll be when you're forced to face it.

Moral of the story: BE YOURSELF

Living forever would be a curse rather than a blessing..

ive watched like ten movies in ten days thanks to endings explained movie recap and looper thank you guys

Nice story!

Dorian Gray + Invasion of the Body Snatchers + When Harry met Sally.

Accept who u're. Thats what I understood.

That cocoon was a nice way to get out of the Werther fallacy👍 Nice, that you concluded it short enough, because the movie has two transformations to much imho.

Movie title is Lifechanger (2018)? Interesting. Added to my list. For some reason, this movie reminded me of the anime called Tokyo Ghoul! Nice movie recap. YOU'RE AMAZING! BEST REGARDS!

I think the message that people are missing due to being distracted by the gruesome ways he had to survive is: he lived his entire life being anyone except himself, which is the part that makes this whole thing even more depressing. He never got to live his own life, instead he constantly became others... which concerns me as I know a friend who is living like that in a way. They never got to experience being themselves, instead they become the person that someone wants them to be, in order to later become them or complete other ulterior motives. As a result, they lack identity to the point where I feel as if it's non-existent for them, and to make up for it, they are constantly changing personalities and mimicking others to get by. You think oh god, this is terrible, but thankfully this is just a movie, BUT NO IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING METAPHORICALLY IRL. To try and cheer things up, at least it's rare..? Although, this movie really messed me up. >_> TLDR; they survived, but never lived.

So confusing. I mean it seems that this started when his mom died, but then what is he exactly? Is this a curse of some kind. And even after killing this woman he says he loves & accepting the rot & his "death" he reborn as himself if he had been allowed to naturally age, but still doesn't know why. And he's confused 🤯🤔 I like movies that make you think but this gives me a headache lol.

That Robert tho😍😍😍

so its orochimaru

That was a really cool story

This movie is a metaphor of love. Parents, friends, exes, and even enemies all shape who we are. In the end it’s by accepting ourselves when we become our true self.

The name of the movie is "Lifechanger"

This is a very unique story and a sad one with a hanging ending. I wonder if this was his version of hell. That said, I wonder how you decide movies to recap.

Very interesting

Movie Looks Great!

this seems like an excellent way to make a sort of portfolio for a bunch of aspiring actors. Everyone gets to play the main character

Sort of like another version of the shifters from the show Supernatural. And since some dogs can smell sickness in people, that dog must have the ability to smell something from him.

"So who is the main character in this movie? " Yes

Dude thanks for the detailed spoilers.

Good ole toranta!

Must have been a great gig for the actors. Pretty much everyone gets to play the lead. Top billing for everyone!

"James starts calling the police!" delivery is fucking hilarious.

Whao, that is an epic story.

Damm thats a thing that needs to be changed into a pile of burned ashes,

Such a good movie

Roberts hair is glorious
