I'd instantly be able to tell that the simulation wasn't actually the 1950s because the first-generation Chevy Corvette didn't get the Stingray-style double taillights until the 1961 model year.
Being that the creator of the simulation was trying to emulate a 50s early 60s style environment (1950-1962) would likely have been the range. I think this can be given a pass. While he was going for accuracy it didn't have to be 100% accurate. Just close enough to make it believable. Its unlikely today many people would be able to tell what was from the 50s and what was from the early 60s. Hell Not many places even have homes or buildings of those era's anymore at least that's recognizable from the era. There are a few such as palm springs and a few older towns scattered here and there.
I had to look up what that was. Interesting. I'm sure there was a hidden meaning or that's so hidden meaning to it. But very interesting never the less
@@cokesquirrel Fibonacci is a sequence found in nature. It's the angle of waves, the rows of seeds on a sunflower, etc. I believe that the Fibonacci circle in the movie is supposed to represent the community's need for perfection.
The movie is a good example of an abusive relationship. He gaslights her into believing that anything wrong is just her imagination/things are fine, it puts her back in her place for a while, but each time is shorter and shorter that she realizes something is wrong. He claims he did everything for them/ her, as he forces her to do what he wants. She is tempted to remain there with the idea of "him", despite knowing how terribly he's treated her.
Yep must be terrible to do like 3 hours of work cleaning and cooking each day with plenty of time to just chill with your friends that are your neighbours. Being trapped in that place must be a nightmare. To me the movie is about how people can’t let themselves be happy even if they have the idillic life already.
@@wolfengod8277 You literally missed the point. She never agreed to being there. Maybe she had bigger aspirations than simply being a house-wife? Or maybe she liked her real life?

i stopped the movie recap around 2 minutes, and watched the whole movie. it`s a very good movie. i`m not disappointed despite the movie got a 6.2 rating, i`m not sure why is that but that just tells me that ratings are rubbish. i love it. thanks for recommending this to me.
I think most people who state that are refering to the good aspects and the general vibes and appearance/style that came with the 1950's, while still being completely aware of all the problems they had back then.
There are two kinds. Those who long for the true 1950s, aka, people who would be further up the food chain were it 1950, but also people who long for simplicity and overly romanticize historical eras. The 1950s aesthetic is still popular to this day for a reason, and many people still emulate social roles from the 1950s intentionally, often in totally harmless ways. There were some very, very dark aspects to the 1950s, yes, but the idealized commercial aesthetic of the 1950s is appealing to many, many people for totally benign reasons. While I only really appreciate the 1950s from a purely aesthetic standpoint, I understand the longing for the nuclear family structure being normal, the commercialized veneer of politeness, the bright, smiley fakeness of it all.... it all makes a lot of sense. I don't think it's all nefarious. A lot of it is, yes. But not all of it.

If this was a high fidelity immersive VR simulation, then why didn’t they create a larger city or with more elements, characters or storyline? I mean even if you had unlimited money and the town was perfect, anyone will get bored after a while. It’s like playing Sims with just the default town forever. After a while you want something more, especially if this was virtual reality.

This looks like an excellent satire of Scientology. Firstly, Scientology has a serious 1950s vibe, probably due to its being founded then. Life in Victoryville is pretty much exactly the life the Scientologists believe those who have rid themselves of their spirit-maggots or "thetans" or whatever, would want to live. Secondly, the part about the men going to that mountain to enter the real world where they go out and work as gardeners or any work they can get, to pump that money back into keeping the cult going, is very, very much how Scientology operates. There are plenty of gardeners and janitors and dishwashers etc. pumping too much of their hard-earned money into the cult. Plus, the cult leader is like a spoof of Scientology's cult leader, McCavity or whatever his name is. Plus this has got tons of neat classic cars and someone put some real work into the house decor and 1950s "posh" food, so this is a win on that count alone.

I used to live in a large culturally diverse Canadian city and thought I would be glad to leave behind the crowds and noise and lack of green space. Moved to rural Maritimes. A lot of space, and nature here but very very conformist and people are judgemental of anyone different. Everyone thinks and acts the same. It reminds me of the Panopticon prison model where all the inmates can see each other at all times and in effect become each other's wardens. Every place looks like a Normal Rockwell painting. Yes, no crime and a lot of green space, but also very restrictive. Conversation, food choices -- everything is very limiting. The anonymity and diversity of cities are something I miss. On the other hand, being closer to nature is nice.

I remember a TV show (a short series) with nearly the same story of a small town in a desert, completely closed and watched by a much more modern control center. It was even a better story because of the longer time they had with the episodes. Damn, dont remember the name... NEWS: the people in the town/village have numbers instead of names.
"Jack, due to his fragile male ego....." , The narrator when he makes these ironic little quips in that monotone, matter of fact voice just send me into mad giggles! The real reason why I watch these.
Insecure women need boosting to their own fragile female egos, so they project it onto men. Those women are butthurt probably because of bad interactions with men, and the only way to raise their self-esteem is a female revenge and power fantasy, marketed successfully to the weak-minded suffering from a crippling female inferiority complex.
Jack couldn't find job in real life so to calm his ego he teleported himself and his wife in to Simulation but in simulation he goes to real World daily and do work to provide money. What an irony.
lol right? like Jack, bro, ur wife's a Dr, and u just lost ur job, go work at McDonolds or something while u look for a better job or something, it aint that deep xD but naw, he rather basically kidnap n brainwash her and put her in VR, meaning shes no longer working 🤦♂its a pretty stupid plan lol just go flip them burgers n look for a better job, or just chill n play video games, idk 😂
That was filmed out in Newberry springs California, that building is built on top of a volcano. If you know who Huell Hauser is that's his old house... And unless that was a Corvette had a blue flame straight six it woud out run those two sedans no problem
I like his voice cause even if there are EXTREME things going on, he is like "Then she kills him brutally." No expression like "OMG!!!" at all... Love it man! Keep it up!
I prefer it that way tbh. Yeah it's funny because of how dead panned the delivery is but it is much more straight forward and objective. Reminds me of an oldschool documentary lol
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this recap! But omg imagine waking up after being in a simulation for that long?? First thing I’d do is take a shower😖 Her real self is lookin a bit greasy..😂
@@kemhug2623 "big bad men enslave women, kill the only black female there, traitors, liars, woman successful, men a useless person in real life" It's a pretty woke movie
The simulation would've been good if the wife's signed to it (and got their memory wiped for better enjoyment) and the program was used mostly for virtual vacation/getaway
There's a bit of irony here. The dude was engaged to a successful surgeon, but pride and ego wouldn't allow him to take the role of caring for the house and supporting his wife after she worked all day. So instead he tries to "fix" it by simply reversing the roles.
@hitomie the movie has its twists but when I found out that the director is a feminist, it made perfect sense why JACK tried to fix things by "reversing" the roles & the purpose of Grank getting stabbed by his wife.
@@dopeMurf believe it or not its a common situation that women experience. first the men are supportive and both of them work hard together, then the woman get better promotion and make higher salary and suddenly the man sing different tune 'you should quit, we want a child soon and i rather have you sit at home and take care of our child' 'cant you refuse that promotion?' etc. some men really are only supportive only when the women they are with didn't exceed them, the men. dunno its ego or what.

Because surgeons don't get rich from day 1 and given thr cost of American medical schools they are probably saddled with debt, and there's nothing normal about the current housing market
The plot of the film is built around the problem of finding one's place in life, the desire to live a 'better life' and excessive love, which leads to ideas 'I will do everything to make you happy, but against your will'.
Wow how would she ever recover from something this traumatic after waking up? Man that’s messed up. A level of horror that goes beyond blood and guts. Mad vibes like Beyond the Akila Rift episode.
if frank created the simulation, why didn't he give himself godlike powers inside of it to make sure if anything did go wrong that he could put everything back in order?
Because this is a feminist female revenge and power fantasy. It has to be set up so he gets murdered in the end, and the misandry-indoctrinated audience will cheer and applaud his death.
better question, why the hell did he make it in a way that if u die there, u die for real? xD cuz i mean, u tellin me, if i were to say, slip n fall n hit my head and die in the simulation, im just screwed? why the hell would u make that a feature?! lol
Different version of the “Stepford Wives”. I liked the original, and the remake. This seems like it should be good too. I did notice the actor playing Frank used to play on Guiding Light soap opera, as the son of Joshua and Riva Lewis. Nice to see he's still working. 👵✌️🖖

Yes, no crime and a lot of green space, but also very restrictive. Conversation, food choices -- everything is very limiting. The anonymity and diversity of cities are something I miss. On the other hand, being closer to nature is nice.
@@mmecharlotte but that’s awesome, I had a weird feeling someone from there was gunna see this when I wrote it! You still live there? I moved to Denver but my family still there
And how Twitter was up until Elon freed it & exposed all the corruption & abuse of power.

I live in a country where it basically is the case where you must conform and to question how the government runs is a taboo that could get you detained, thank god I’m leaving soon.
Mystery recap never fails to entertain us. The work work and effort in these videos are rathless thank u soo much for this amazing content :)

75% Stepford Wives, 20% The Prisoner, and 5% The Matrix... Don't get me wrong, I was intrigued by this.
My gf and I had a lot of fun watching this movie. I highly recommend watching it!
Nice that you had fun but the movie is sadly not very good.
Good
I remember a TV show (a short series) with nearly the same story of a small town in a desert, completely closed and watched by a much more modern control center. It was even a better story because of the longer time they had with the episodes. Damn, dont remember the name...
NEWS: the people in the town/village have numbers instead of names.
replying here just incase someone knows which show that is because it seems interesting
Based on the stepford wifes
star trek & twilight zone
then the triggering song part reminded me of a clockwork orange
I think it was the remake of The Prisoner.
Mystery recapped never fails to entertain
Wow how original
Yet most of the videos they issue out are literally recaps already done multiple times on here by other channels.
If not it's rare.
@@keip4568 bruh
ok bot
"Jack, due to his fragile male ego....." , The narrator when he makes these ironic little quips in that monotone, matter of fact voice just send me into mad giggles! The real reason why I watch these.
Insecure women need boosting to their own fragile female egos, so they project it onto men. Those women are butthurt probably because of bad interactions with men, and the only way to raise their self-esteem is a female revenge and power fantasy, marketed successfully to the weak-minded suffering from a crippling female inferiority complex.
"...plus he looks greasy..."
LOVE IT !!
Since Captain Kirk is in this, how do we know if this isn't another one of the Enterprise's holograms?
I was just about to say that Captain Kirk is not in this movie. Then I realized you're not talking about William Shatner ☺️
And how do we know he isn't in the Sim during the day fraternizing all the ladies. Isn't that what all the cult leader's do?
Jack couldn't find job in real life so to calm his ego he teleported himself and his wife in to Simulation but in simulation he goes to real World daily and do work to provide money. What an irony.
lol right? like Jack, bro, ur wife's a Dr, and u just lost ur job, go work at McDonolds or something while u look for a better job or something, it aint that deep xD but naw, he rather basically kidnap n brainwash her and put her in VR, meaning shes no longer working 🤦♂its a pretty stupid plan lol just go flip them burgers n look for a better job, or just chill n play video games, idk 😂
A brilliant and witty summary. Thank you
That was filmed out in Newberry springs California, that building is built on top of a volcano. If you know who Huell Hauser is that's his old house... And unless that was a Corvette had a blue flame straight six it woud out run those two sedans no problem
Considering it's a 1960 to 1961 Vette, it's gotta have a small block v8 as they stopped offering the Blue Flame by 1955.
@@LPAGAN401 you're right it has quad headlights, there's no way it would have a blue flame
“Commits the unthinkable?” Dude she fell off a first floor roof. Maybe a broken bone at the worst.
She slit her throat
I like his voice cause even if there are EXTREME things going on, he is like "Then she kills him brutally." No expression like "OMG!!!" at all... Love it man! Keep it up!
I prefer it that way tbh. Yeah it's funny because of how dead panned the delivery is but it is much more straight forward and objective. Reminds me of an oldschool documentary lol
Mystery recapped did a fine job recapping this, I've seen the movie and got some extra details about the movie
Awesome, thank you! I've been waiting for this movie to be recapped!
He couldn't find a job in the real world? but as soon as he signs up for the simulation he was able to land a job?
13:24 Wasn't expecting that lmao
Yes! I’ve been waiting for this recap! But omg imagine waking up after being in a simulation for that long??
First thing I’d do is take a shower😖
Her real self is lookin a bit greasy..😂
I was just about to watch this movie, but I didn’t want to because I knew it was gonna be too scary for me and here you are saving the day
Lmao this woke feminist movie scary? Well yea it kinda is LMAO
Scary?? More like dullville
@@chinglesscheddar what are you? A bully?
Wow as introvert this is a great place to live
lf you like getting brainwashed, sure.
One of my favorites this year, love this movie never expected the many twist
Alice was a doctor, not a nurse. Jack was emasculated.
Really? This make the movie sound like anti men propaganda
@@rariehlani1344 why?
@@rariehlani1344 OF COURSE
just look into interviews and drama raised by Wilde regarding this movie
@@kemhug2623 "big bad men enslave women, kill the only black female there, traitors, liars, woman successful, men a useless person in real life"
It's a pretty woke movie
@@rariehlani1344 and she doesnt even acknowledge that this propoganda is just an unimaginative unoriginal shameless RIP-OFF of Stepford Wives at that
I just noticed by only watching this that the song of "Harry Style - As it Was" lyrics parallels most of the movies plot.
Someone in his 33 years old would like to live in this town, after all he just want quite live, and good thing is he have healthy live
This legit Reminds me so much of WandaVision it’s crazy
This gives the same vibe as my old town
The simulation would've been good if the wife's signed to it (and got their memory wiped for better enjoyment) and the program was used mostly for virtual vacation/getaway
Ps what is the name of the movie 🎥
@@dwaynebest5655 dont worry darling
@@puddleduck1405 thanks
Don't Worry Darling WAS NOT the movie I tought it was going to be. This reminds me of "The Stepford Wives".
The power of purchasing power is preservation of the details, quality of life, quality of existence that includes correspondence.
It kinda reminds me of a thriller version of stepford wife's
That’s exactly what I was going to say!
ITS like Stepford Wives.. but more moden twists. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
There's a bit of irony here. The dude was engaged to a successful surgeon, but pride and ego wouldn't allow him to take the role of caring for the house and supporting his wife after she worked all day. So instead he tries to "fix" it by simply reversing the roles.
when i finished the movie i didn’t have this conclusion so thank you cuz that makes sense🙌🏼
@hitomie the movie has its twists but when I found out that the director is a feminist, it made perfect sense why JACK tried to fix things by "reversing" the roles & the purpose of Grank getting stabbed by his wife.
@@dopeMurf believe it or not its a common situation that women experience. first the men are supportive and both of them work hard together, then the woman get better promotion and make higher salary and suddenly the man sing different tune 'you should quit, we want a child soon and i rather have you sit at home and take care of our child' 'cant you refuse that promotion?' etc.
some men really are only supportive only when the women they are with didn't exceed them, the men. dunno its ego or what.
@@jeanneann3545 not me I lay around and hang at the house and I get bitched at because I'm not doing anything so no ur wrong any way u are women want the opposite
@@dudesjewels dont worry dude you will get no woman ever, its not a situation you will get yourself into.
Thanks for this. I wanted to see this without actually going to see it. The behind the scene drama made me interested in the film.
Watched this movie in cinema, this movie was incredible and I recommend it even if you’ve been spoiled
"It's my turn now....bit*h" That freaking cracked me up
I think the writer for the movie watched “The Village” and went ahead with it. Very similar plot to The Village, plus the lack of consent part.

The Village + The Matrix + The Stepford Wives
@@quasarsphere + Black Mirror yessir... That's why it didn't resonate... We've seen this trope done better... Although with Shia LaBeouf I think... It would have worked better
that's basically "The Stepford Wives" with extra "Virtual Reality life" on it.
I love the way he says: "... and do the unthinkable." Funny and sensitive 👍🏼
Florence and Harry was so good in this film
The 50s were way before my time, but I've heard that you could pay off a house with 5 years of wage (not the current 30 years). Good times.
there was a GIGANTIC economic boom after ww2 that lasted till the early 1970s 🤷♂
Loved the movie narration, short and exciting, I've been watching recaps since good time and I wanna join if the channel has discord
I had no idea this was the whole objective of Meta all along.
Nice documentary
I love the Harry Styles roasts!
Her tag clearly says "MD" . and the surgeon called her "resident, close it up"
so no she isn't a Nurse
Is that the dude from Star Trek? I think I could live in this town to avert my financial debt as long I polished their shoes.
Yeah, I think he is
People in the comments are saying she’s a doctor…I only have one question..why tf do they live in that shitty house if shes a SURGEON
Because surgeons don't get rich from day 1 and given thr cost of American medical schools they are probably saddled with debt, and there's nothing normal about the current housing market
@@Liitebulb so you’re telling me she’s been a surgeon for one day and has many surgeries? Bffr 💀
I'd love to live there.
Well, that saved me at least 90 minutes of my life. Thanks.
The plot of the film is built around the problem of finding one's place in life, the desire to live a 'better life' and excessive love, which leads to ideas 'I will do everything to make you happy, but against your will'.
And unhealthy dose of pathological misandry.
Did they really have to damage those classic cars at the end?
ongod bro, a part of me died seeing that ngl
replicas probably
I mean, the guy had good intentions BUT chose to execute them poorly.
Wow how would she ever recover from something this traumatic after waking up? Man that’s messed up. A level of horror that goes beyond blood and guts. Mad vibes like Beyond the Akila Rift episode.
What if we are in a simulation?
Lol then I'd like to leave it
Deja vu is simply a glitch.
if frank created the simulation, why didn't he give himself godlike powers inside of it to make sure if anything did go wrong that he could put everything back in order?
Because this is a feminist female revenge and power fantasy. It has to be set up so he gets murdered in the end, and the misandry-indoctrinated audience will cheer and applaud his death.
better question, why the hell did he make it in a way that if u die there, u die for real? xD cuz i mean, u tellin me, if i were to say, slip n fall n hit my head and die in the simulation, im just screwed? why the hell would u make that a feature?! lol
Different version of the “Stepford Wives”. I liked the original, and the remake. This seems like it should be good too.
I did notice the actor playing Frank used to play on Guiding Light soap opera, as the son of Joshua and Riva Lewis. Nice to see he's still working.
👵✌️🖖
Man, this comment sure is some tasty troll-bait.
Oh you late late
What is this movie called ? i can't seem to find it
1:30 this seems familiar 🤔🤔🤔
Nice story
The men are working at the body shop and Sam Smith is the bad guy😭
"Hey mystery recapped here"... those creepy background sounds... I really miss them.. that made it different from other you tube channel
She looks like Randa Rousey
I love it, thanks man
Nurse? Bestie she was a surgeon 👀
nobody:
Mystery Recapped: "Beitch"
The cast is mostly great, especially Florence Pugh and Chris Pine.
thank you mystery recapped!
"Jack chooses to have a British identity since he is very bad at American accent" 😂🤣
Yessss I've been waiting for this one. Great recap 👏 👍
A quiet luxurious life with no worries. It sounds pretty good to me.
Not when you don't want voluntarily
"No worries" is not nearly as fun as it sounds. Life is not attending a weekend cocktail party (with the same people) over and over again no outside wor,d no advancement, no progress , no real interest.
