@@adylaar6708 loosely based. I'm not even sure the book covers the story around oppression on women. I think the book is mainly a straightforward sci-fi/thriller driven story about characters getting murdered in different realities
This movie is kinda crazy, everything just happens. Like, what do you mean that after all her friends die she just has a new life? Imagine how freaky that would be
This is one of the weirdest I've seen but really interesting. Your explanation by the way is very good! I love it, you managed to touch the core meaning of the movie in more ways than one. Nice video!
i was so confused on the meaning or the story behind this movie but once he explained it i was so astonished on how deep the meaning is in this movie, props to the creator
dont you just love it when in totally normal films like this there can be a scene where someone gets eaten by a crocodile then everyone else gets into a pillow fight 30 seconds later.
I love how most of the NPC who are close friends with Mitsuko are doing as the system programmed them to but is secretly aware that there’s a different reality to theirs and that Mitsuko is the only one who can change it. Imagine how they recall it each time they die over and over again to the point they’ve become aware that something is not right but they are powerless since they’re all NPC. So all they can do is aid Mitsuko to help stop this cycle.
I watched this movie a few years ago on New Year’s Eve with some friends. It was absolutely bizarre, and I didn’t understand it much until this video. Thank you for explaining it so well !! The concept is absolutely amazing and the depiction, when looking back knowing the full story, is beautiful.

The symbolism in this movie is interesting. After you explained that this movie's purpose is actually being an abstract story about the struggles of gay women in Japan, that aspect of this movie is very clear, but there is still one mystery... It was technically never truly shown what "real life" is in this story. This story mustn't only exist in that abstract way considering the main character of the movie has one consciousness in the video game despite being in different bodies with different identities, and considering the fact that she knows that she comes from somewhere real. When Mitsuko got to "real life", she was actually far in the future, not where she had expected to be, so we never discovered the world she was familiar with. I think that one of the high school settings is "real life", since the character that created the game Mitsuko was trapped in mentioned that he admired her during high school, and since the main character's consistent consciousness was Mitsuko, as shown (at 8:26) when Aki gets the main character to turn back into her original identity as Mitsuko, followed by Mitsuko having that identity when she escaped the video game. However, there are two schoolgirl iterations of the main character. The first schoolgirl iterations at the beginning of the movie seems to be Mitsuko's origin before any chaos happened, but the second second schoolgirl iteration is portrayed as more "real" throughout the movie despite existing after supernatural chaos happened, which is very confusing. There is also the fact that all characters in both high school settings are deliberately female as it was intended by the game in-story and by the theme of the movie, which adds to the confusion. My theory is that the second schoolgirl iteration of Mitsuko is the real one, since it is portrayed as such, but this movie did not show the real high school setting, the movie showed a survival horror video game recreation of it. Mitsuko might have got trapped in the video game during a long unknown amount of time after Mitsuko finished high school, in the future when the science of video games and cloning will supposedly be a lot more advanced than it is now. The character that made the video game using the DNA of Mitsuko and her friends said in the movie (which is not found in this Mystery Recapped video) that he got the DNA in spring of the year 2034, and this is a 2015 movie. Future technology sci-fi shenanigans is also probably why there is a younger and older version of that man. The man probably trapped her in the game which preserved her for the 150 years, and when she finally escaped, he wasn't finished with her and was ready for his ultimate conclusion to sleep with her. After the ending played out, Mitsuko killing herself and doing so again as multiple different identities within the game was because she wanted to save the video game clones of her friends, because her real friends presumably already passed away by the time Mitsuko was 150 years into the future, so saving the clones was the next best thing when her old life was completely gone. Once Mitsuko died, and her identities in the video game followed suit, the game's supernatural dangers no longer had a main character to target like they are supposed to, thus saving the clone friends from being caught in any of that lethal conflict. The ending being a snowy field most likely signifies the afterlife and Mitsuko finally being at peace there, at the point when the conflict was all over, which is especially suggested since she appeared in that setting in her death position. The snow might have actually been a huge tangible cloud for all I know, if that's what kind of afterlife this story was trying to portray. Mitsuko even had the school uniform at the beginning of the movie, before there was any danger, likely signifying safety and/or representing the fulfillment of her yearning for her surroundings to be normal. I don't think this means that the first schoolgirl Mitsuko is the real one since that has evidence against it. I may be wrong though, since I don't have unquestionable knowledge of what went behind decisions for this movie. Anyway, "It's over now.", Mitsuko said as she ran off-screen to enjoy her everlasting freedom.
@@gamerguyrandom4701 I am surprised with myself too for being able to come up with a reasonable conclusion for such a confusing story in the perspective of the main character. I don't know how I did it, but I did!
I'm so happy someone's finally addressing that mitsuko and that other girl were actually in a relationship in many recaps of this movies there addressed as "great friends" which basically destroys the entire reasoning behind the movie
@Mettawat Kutaninwat yea as a man I can confirm I see lesbians as shape shifting maniacs forcefully being put into relationships with pig hybrid dudes
I really liked this story, and the LGBT metaphor makes a lot of sense. There's also the fact that her whole world is controlled by men, and how much fetishization of lesbian women there is to the point where most lesbian content is made for the male voyeur.
Watched it long ago and tbh it was not just a movie but an emotion. the soundtracks are so sad and it made me tear up. TAG is an underrated masterpiece.
@KXYZ I didn't say anything about Chinese movies lmao. I'm pointing out how ridiculous it is to look at a movie set in a fictional Japanese setting and then thinking "I could see China doing this." Literally no connection.
The movie was just straight up confusing sure it may be good for you but there are other ways of producing a movie where it actually makes sense and gives deeper meanings and soundtracks. It is definitely not a masterpiece but also definitely not a failure
I really like your summary and interpretation. This movie felt more personal to me than most, and I respect your sharing it here for those who may not be able to watch the whole film.
It's sad but true...Japan in many ways still do not treat women like in other countries. Traditional roles still exist, sexual assault is a daily occurrence with the submissive culture, and really is one of many sad faces of this culture...growing up there and looking back, I can only imagine the hardship of these women. Even people with mental illness is treated less. Sure, these things exist in other countries but some stock out more than others in my opinion.
Statistically, Japan has a very low rate of sexual violence against women, and by that I mean, it's safer for women than in the states and the global average... and as an Asian myself who is STILL here lol, I can tell you as an insider that it's the women themselves who are opposed to the abandonment of tradition roles... in a society that works their people to death, it's a privilege to have a choice on being a housewife.
@Joel what truth? you think asian women r happier?? Naw man were just as miserable as you are 🥱🥱 And besides your only talking about east asian women arent you? 🤓
I love how he is addressing them as they are, a couple. There is so much lesbians and gay subtext and this man legit just stated the obvious. When he said “her girlfriend Aki” I smiled so wide. Thank you for this!
i appreciate that they try to transmit a deep message with an unique movie however, it doesn't matter how significant and relevant the meaning of the story is the whole thing is ruined when you leave the audience the entire movie asking WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Like, how i'm supossed to understand that the man with the pig head chasing a girl running a marathon is supossed to represent the toxic masculine oppresion over succesfull women? all i see is a confusing pseudo horror slasher film, not some kind of social critic on gender roles and homophobia?
Yep, like the man said "this movie seems bizarre and meaningless most of the time." Like why was the U.S. Navy song playing during the firefight at the school? I still haven't figured it out.
I think it works better if you asume it has a hidden meaning so you actually think about a meaning. Also the fact it’s all life stages and all women is kinda a huge giveaway
this is like a dream, 1 moment you're just chillin some place you haven't been to, then suddenly you're in a different place and when you try to rationalize what's happening, your mother suddenly wake's you up for school and you see yourself back at your teenage years, and then you start prepping up for school but then you finally wake up for real! lol
This movie is so bizarre, I love how you have to look deeper to see the meaning of it, and how this is a movie that has the meaning of a subject that’s often overlooked.
I have watched this when I was a little kid, that’s why it was so familiar. This movie tramautized me with all the gore and everything and I was paranoid about being on buses.
Mystery Recapped is an interesting channel. I found his channel by accident today. But I gotta say, I’ve never seen or heard of any of these movies lol, this particular channel has an interesting voice as well. Good narration for sure.
How is that breaking the 4th wall? She's a video game character with a single consciousness, so when the player switches characters, her appearance changes.
@@nuknukisdead I am talking about before we figured out it was a game. If you think about it if you did not know it was a video game thing, obviously it would have broken the 4th with literally changing reality’s
@@nuknukisdead so your saying, changing whole lives out of no where, and no reason until the end of the movie is not breaking a 4th wall? Because, part of breaking a 4th wall is that
i watched this years ago. I didn't really understand the story (cuz I was a kid at that time.) and I don't really understand English. But I'm really glad you made a video about this. it made me understand it more, and the story is good because as a woman myself, I could tell these struggles are true (I'm only a teen but I know woman's do suffer from this or experienced it.) and I don't even know if I'll understand the story if I watched it again if it wasn't for you that explained the video. Thanks for doing such great contents, Keep it up ^^
@@DraxleNation oh, lmao. I know, I know. I was so horrified and a bit disgusted... and I literally made my aunt watch it with me and explain that these ppl got their heads off by some kind of wind lmaooo
I'm confused too 😂 (ok I already watched this when I was about 12) but I still don't get it... What did you understand as a woman? For me, as a mysterious films lover, this movie seems ridiculous with many inappropriate clips! With no real lesson at all
I watched this movie a long time ago, and now im glad it's popular and noticed. I was so upset that this movie was underrated before, it finally got noticed and its getting the recognition it deserves
This movie started bizzare a many i watch didnt think much of it but at the end i felt it so much i felt it so differently and sudden relasize came into my mind. How i never know reasoning behind all my pain now i see and accept this movie as my reality. I have self damaging in streight relationships.
I have watched this movie alot. I usually laugh on how the story line doesn't make sense but the meaning behind it was meaningful. Now you explained that I exactly feel better :)
I saw this ages ago and you made the memory of it hit me like a truck. The movie is so wild until you get to the end and can see the deeper meaning to it. I don't think it's very fair for people to hate on complex deeper meaning movies just because they didn't figure out the meaning to it themselves when they watched it. I'm not sure if you have yet - or will even see this cus this is an old video lol - but you should cover the movie 'Raw'. Another wild ride that has a deeper meaning once you understand it.
I like to think that at the end there is more meaning behind the old man, like how the old generation always likes to decide the future for the younger generation by having them do what they tell them to as if it were a game for them.
Wow, this movie made me cry. I have never seen it, but seeing and hearing how you narrate it hits home so much for me. As a woman, I struggle in the same way, though not quite as crazy as she was depicted, I still cried when I thought about how society views me. Thank you for this.
Perhaps it's time to stop crying. Women, on average, can see more colors than men (not by a huge margin, but still significant enough that it could be used as an advantage in certain careers). Women also have more sensitive abilities to smell and taste, among other things. Women are not useless (neither are men, but that's beside the point of this comment). P.S: If there's a group of people laughing at you because you're different, laugh back at them because they're all the same.
@@ro4eva I feel like you missed the point of why I was crying. I don't think I am useless. I just feel like society puts labels on me and I have to do as they say or I am an outsider. And having better senses doesn't help with that.
@@ro4eva Women don't think we're useless. That you decided that needed to be your starting argument shows how little you listened to this recap or listen to women who are upset about how society run by men views women! Not how we view ourselves. We are well aware we're useful and good at many things. It's society that tells us we're only good as vaginas for men. You wrote a whole novella to miss the whole point. No wonder society blows if this is how men interpret what women say when they say it so clearly.
I watch ur movie summaries and around 2 months or so back I was searching for a recap of this movie on youtube but there wasn't any. And now u have done it! Keep up the good work man!
Wow. You actually gave meaning to it. You were able to. I had actually watched the movie before, and I couldn't understand a thing. To think that all I had to do was watch your video.
I remember watching this movie as a teenage and was so confused! It had those Millennium Actress type of transition but with more gore and I wasn't sure what the genre was. But then again, it was Japanese and they're into death games so what else is new. Didn't understand the plot until I watched this. It's actually beautiful.
This movie is absolutely brilliant and brought tears to my eyes 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 they perfectly encapsulated what it feels like to suffer from chronic, debilitation social anxiety and suffocating social pressure, and feeling trapped in a world not made for you at all, which leads to developing huge escapist tendencies and constantly yearn for a safe space 👍🏿👍🏿 Thank you very much. I would more recaps like these ❤️ Neurodivergent people like me need it.
You feel trapped In a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you because it wasn’t lmao. The world doesn’t cater to every group of people and never will, it caters to the majority. Life is about survival, the entire point of life is to repopulate and die. This is just how the world works. You could say that humans can use their god given intellect and strength to cater to everyone and help everyone have good lives but that will never happen because everything boils down to primal thinking.

My thoughts exactly. Deep lore is good and all but don't make it outright confusing if you want to send a message
I’m still confused lmao
Yep, like the man said "this movie seems bizarre and meaningless most of the time." Like why was the U.S. Navy song playing during the firefight at the school? I still haven't figured it out.
I think it works better if you asume it has a hidden meaning so you actually think about a meaning. Also the fact it’s all life stages and all women is kinda a huge giveaway
Oh u think so much, just chill
1:41 They took "she is too stunned to speak" on an another level

Hi?
Well. This gives a new meaning to:
Learning is power.
Learning is not dying that day
"She ran so fast, her wig fell off."
Dealer: What drug do you want sir
The writer of the movie: Yes
BTW jokes aside this movie shows the reality of today's society
Just in Japan
That's not even half the reality we face today, they are things Far worse than man's or woman's petty problems in this world.

this is like a dream, 1 moment you're just chillin some place you haven't been to, then suddenly you're in a different place and when you try to rationalize what's happening, your mother suddenly wake's you up for school and you see yourself back at your teenage years, and then you start prepping up for school but then you finally wake up for real! lol
This movie was confusing af
As someone who watched this movie, yeah that’s basically how it felt
it’s a good representation of a dream
ngl this is kinda how my nightmares transition from one scene to another, and it also flashes and convolutes my high school and college life
This movie is so bizarre, I love how you have to look deeper to see the meaning of it, and how this is a movie that has the meaning of a subject that’s often overlooked.
Those who say my school teachers are strict...
yeah it be like that sometimes
"Teachers kill if students don't obey"
Nerds, Teacher's pet, Principle's kid: i have no such weaknesses
I’m a nerd and I “disobey” teachers by saying crap because it is “inappropriate” and “vulgar”
Quiet Kid: I CAN OVERPOWER THEM ALL
I LOVE these off-the -cuff shorts!
I have watched this when I was a little kid, that’s why it was so familiar. This movie tramautized me with all the gore and everything and I was paranoid about being on buses.
oh common it teaches you to fear the wind before it will cut you in half

Im in true colors currently and I’m still watching mystery recapped because of how amazing he is!
Same the voice to
dOnT WATCH my FIRST VIDEO😬🚫…
I have now watched the entire video and can confirm its a very good movie
You got copied
A bot copied ur comment
You just unlocked one of my long awaited memories. I've been searching for this for so long. Thanks.
His voice is so soft and soothing
Im so happy with the ending and how adam perfectly described the premise
It must be serious if Mystery Recaoped is giving us a genuine ‘moral of the story’
Moral of the story : whenever you see a school girl very happy to see you ...RUN
Yea cuz nobody is happy to see me
Mystery Recapped is an interesting channel. I found his channel by accident today. But I gotta say, I’ve never seen or heard of any of these movies lol, this particular channel has an interesting voice as well. Good narration for sure.
This literally breaks the 4th wall. Like she changes people out of no where. But the story plot is very good.
It's confusing af
How is that breaking the 4th wall? She's a video game character with a single consciousness, so when the player switches characters, her appearance changes.
@@nuknukisdead I am talking about before we figured out it was a game. If you think about it if you did not know it was a video game thing, obviously it would have broken the 4th with literally changing reality’s
@@OMGzenny Even before that, it wouldn't be a 4th wall break since they are not addressing the audience, the change is done entirely in-movie.
@@nuknukisdead so your saying, changing whole lives out of no where, and no reason until the end of the movie is not breaking a 4th wall? Because, part of breaking a 4th wall is that
i watched this years ago. I didn't really understand the story (cuz I was a kid at that time.) and I don't really understand English. But I'm really glad you made a video about this. it made me understand it more, and the story is good because as a woman myself, I could tell these struggles are true (I'm only a teen but I know woman's do suffer from this or experienced it.) and I don't even know if I'll understand the story if I watched it again if it wasn't for you that explained the video. Thanks for doing such great contents, Keep it up ^^
I’m sorry y would u watch this as a kid…
@@DraxleNation oh, lmao. I know, I know. I was so horrified and a bit disgusted... and I literally made my aunt watch it with me and explain that these ppl got their heads off by some kind of wind lmaooo
English is hard... Is that the right plural for women? Idfk there are *2* plural forms and I'm confused
I'm confused too 😂 (ok I already watched this when I was about 12) but I still don't get it... What did you understand as a woman?
For me, as a mysterious films lover, this movie seems ridiculous with many inappropriate clips! With no real lesson at all
@@khaycezu lol
He always true his best to entertain us and he gets us always..
girls gone wild lol
Bro wanna watch a movie tonight?
The move:
This movie took "never let them your next move" to whole new level.
I watched this movie a long time ago, and now im glad it's popular and noticed. I was so upset that this movie was underrated before, it finally got noticed and its getting the recognition it deserves
I also watched this movie and it was really underrated
Mystery recapped never fails to entertain us
dOnT WATCH my FIRST VIDEO😬🚫..,
@@cashjetfl okay

the pig really did a cartwheel chasing them💀
1:09 everyone else got killed besides her and she was up completely
This movie started bizzare a many i watch didnt think much of it but at the end i felt it so much i felt it so differently and sudden relasize came into my mind. How i never know reasoning behind all my pain now i see and accept this movie as my reality. I have self damaging in streight relationships.
I have watched this movie alot. I usually laugh on how the story line doesn't make sense but the meaning behind it was meaningful. Now you explained that I exactly feel better :)
I saw this ages ago and you made the memory of it hit me like a truck. The movie is so wild until you get to the end and can see the deeper meaning to it. I don't think it's very fair for people to hate on complex deeper meaning movies just because they didn't figure out the meaning to it themselves when they watched it. I'm not sure if you have yet - or will even see this cus this is an old video lol - but you should cover the movie 'Raw'. Another wild ride that has a deeper meaning once you understand it.
Can we all just appreciate the content this man and his crew makes it's just a masterpiece imagine what's he's gonna be doing in the future... ❤
dOnT WATCH my FIRST VIDEO😬🚫..,
this is the future....
shut up. Please
@@justin4296 the person didn't say anything wrong
@@cashjetfl I wont watch anything on your place
I like to think that at the end there is more meaning behind the old man, like how the old generation always likes to decide the future for the younger generation by having them do what they tell them to as if it were a game for them.

Teachers: It's nerf or nothing.
lol
His voice is sooooooooooo relaxing
Wow, this movie made me cry. I have never seen it, but seeing and hearing how you narrate it hits home so much for me. As a woman, I struggle in the same way, though not quite as crazy as she was depicted, I still cried when I thought about how society views me. Thank you for this.
Perhaps it's time to stop crying. Women, on average, can see more colors than men (not by a huge margin, but still significant enough that it could be used as an advantage in certain careers). Women also have more sensitive abilities to smell and taste, among other things. Women are not useless (neither are men, but that's beside the point of this comment).
P.S: If there's a group of people laughing at you because you're different, laugh back at them because they're all the same.
@@ro4eva I feel like you missed the point of why I was crying. I don't think I am useless. I just feel like society puts labels on me and I have to do as they say or I am an outsider. And having better senses doesn't help with that.
@@ro4eva you wrote a whole book for what☠️☠️
How in the world did you understand this movie
@@ro4eva Women don't think we're useless. That you decided that needed to be your starting argument shows how little you listened to this recap or listen to women who are upset about how society run by men views women! Not how we view ourselves. We are well aware we're useful and good at many things. It's society that tells us we're only good as vaginas for men.
You wrote a whole novella to miss the whole point. No wonder society blows if this is how men interpret what women say when they say it so clearly.
I really love these kinds of movies. It's one of those that doesn't have to be understood but can still be fully enjoyed.
Glad this movie finally got noticed. It's highly underrated
The wind literally changes the movies name from ''TAG'' to ''DEADLY WIND ATTACK'', the films also seemed Shocking, Horror and Deadly. Good job!
As confusing as that was I wasn’t expecting the end to be so deep
Amazing as always
I love how you explained this confusing movie, it's an amazing addition to your recaps
The way you explained the movie at the end is wonderful.
I agree with it....
I've never seen a movie so confusing and absent of sense....and I watch Assassination Classroom!
I watch ur movie summaries and around 2 months or so back I was searching for a recap of this movie on youtube but there wasn't any. And now u have done it! Keep up the good work man!
i watched this movie so long ago and yet i didnt understand it, but you explained it all and i was so amazed and finally satisfied
Wow. You actually gave meaning to it. You were able to. I had actually watched the movie before, and I couldn't understand a thing. To think that all I had to do was watch your video.
Schools in japan be like: 'quick take notes' 💀
i remember watching this as a kid and being confuse throughout the movie but now, finally an answer to those questions
I remember watching this movie as a teenage and was so confused! It had those Millennium Actress type of transition but with more gore and I wasn't sure what the genre was. But then again, it was Japanese and they're into death games so what else is new. Didn't understand the plot until I watched this. It's actually beautiful.

The way he fades after saying take care gets me everytime 😁😁
*Lmao this is literally what every teacher want.*
They would do genocide and they would love doin’ it
Not all. Some would want to fuck with their fantasized students if were given legal chance. Lol
but they can't because principal exists
This movie is absolutely brilliant and brought tears to my eyes 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 they perfectly encapsulated what it feels like to suffer from chronic, debilitation social anxiety and suffocating social pressure, and feeling trapped in a world not made for you at all, which leads to developing huge escapist tendencies and constantly yearn for a safe space 👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you very much.
I would more recaps like these ❤️
Neurodivergent people like me need it.
What's the movie name???
You feel trapped In a world that feels like it wasn’t made for you because it wasn’t lmao. The world doesn’t cater to every group of people and never will, it caters to the majority. Life is about survival, the entire point of life is to repopulate and die. This is just how the world works.
You could say that humans can use their god given intellect and strength to cater to everyone and help everyone have good lives but that will never happen because everything boils down to primal thinking.
schools are already like this (mentally)
now physically would be two times worse 💀
*why is nobody talking about how this movie is like so good because it’s really unique and finally a person who actually makes recap videos about homosexuality*
😳😳😳😂😂😂😂😂😂😳😳😳
Lmao
What?
Makes recaps about homosexuality?
There are a bunch of homophobes under this video, for no reason
I love the meaning of this movie. Although it's weird when he explained it at the end it all kind of makes sense
the end of the storyline was beautifully said. thank you so much for this the lgbtq+ community appreciates people like u
?
Speak for yourself
Shut up.
Why are you thanking him? He was just explaining the movie. He wasn't "appreciating" the community lmao.
@@balistahr.o.g1103 maybe but even then, a lot of ppl would not even make a recap of it bc there are lesbians in this movie. Its prob seems unnecessary to thank things like this for you, but we both live a different type of live and u dont know how many ppl judge u for being different in our real lifes. I hope you can understand and my comment wasnt for arguing, but for educating :))
I’m horrified of school now. Great recap!
Also, what’s the music in the background?
I already watch this movie and I don't get what the main purpose or trying to convey to us. Thanks for the recap and discuss what's the meaning of the movie. 😊
Ah yes tag, the children's game that everyone loves to play.
"How confusing do you want the movie to be?"
Director: *Yes*
this guys voice is calming..
I had already watched this film's recap in another channel but didn't got any explanation of the film leaving me in confusion as I didn't know that the "Mystery Recapped" channel is great at the recaps of the film and now I feel at ease to learn what the film actually meant. I'm thankful that a channel like yours exists.☺😌☺
