Man Can Become Anybody He Wants But Must Change Constantly To Survive

- A shapeshifter justifies his actions as a means to survive and find true love. He switches between bodies, leaving a pile of corpses in his wake, all to reunite with the only woman he ever loved. But as the body count grows and his aging form becomes weaker, not even changing his face can spare him from the guilt and pain of his existence.

The dog outside the bar recognized him every time, lol.
Yep, indicating that dogs have such a heightened sense of smell, they can smell a persons actual soul
Is interesting since dogs have a bad vision, soo they identify the person by the smell and walk way/form/type rsrsrsrs
@@philiptucker7590 I’m confused as to why westerners see a dog to be an actual person, it’s almost like cows being gods for some Indians
That's a weird way to put it.
Some Americans say they "see their dog as a child" it is a simple way to say we love this animal we will protect this animal, and give it the best life we can.
Other Americans see a dog as a useful resource (i.e. drug, body location, service, protection) but any good person will respect this dog and treat it well.
No one sees it as a person as in the same intelligence or rights.
But have you ever rescued a dog? They can go from broken and aggressive, to kind and loving faster then you think. It's an pure love they feel and we have co-evolved. Dogs can read faces and body expression almost to a pre cognitive level.
@@nicholasmcfarland3737 that still sounds super weird, but having a dog with logical purpose makes sense, but loving it? Hugging it? KISSING IT?! and wasting extra resources for it while Americans themselves already being very wasteful?
Look in my country we mostly have animals for essential purposes, if someone has a dog that means they need it for to get rid of leftovers like bones or hardened bread or any food in general because we hate to be wasteful, same goes with cows, if a neighbor has a dog or a cow other neighbors would bring leftovers to them
It’s a situation where WE fail to understand Americans and Americans failing to understand us (perhaps)
That was an extremely sad movie, being left to live with all those memories and guilt is literal hell
Yea it really is
Indeed
Nah if this happen to me, I'd be like dafuq Em I? and just continue my life 😭😭💀💀
What's the name to the movie?
Put himself in that situation
This looks stressful. Doesn’t sound fun being this kid of shapeshifter
I would’ve been turning into a hooker every night or even a drug lord.
Definitely, constantly killing people and disposing bodies, I couldn’t do that
From the sound of it, he lived like that for decades. Then when he was ready to die, he didn't. And that's it.
So many questions.
@@mintymouths yeah having to change bodies every day, then getting rid of the the bodies & living with all their memories.
Well it said the bodies "used to last much longer" but doesn't specify how long that is. So maybe they used to last months or years at a time.
He shape-shifted for that long and had to do it so many times his body count must be thousands
Actually no, it seems he's 80 less or so. When he was younger the bodies would last decades before the rotting.
@@AlehGea did the movie say it'd last decades? Couldn't see that from the recap. At this period in time it seems to take around 2 days, so even then he's got at least hundreds in the past couple of years.
@@SenhorAlien yes, it's said in the recap. And the fast rotting is indicate to be a recent recent event too.
Actually did you even do theoretical math?
How recent and by how much faster…. So many variables you cannot believe you are right
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"
Yeah the child was the woman’s. he shapeshifted into the woman’s boyfriend’s body after the child passed away and set up that romantic dinner/evening, because he felt the boyfriends love for the woman.
HUh no idea what that means cause the sentence doesnt make any sense?
@@Grimgool right 😂😂😂😂
@@Grimgool Yea, the comment doesn't make sense at all. I'm not sure how this got so many likes.
@@oc6617 cause people have no common sense derp 😂
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.
That’s the point of the movie. He was a mutant and had no idea what his powers even were or how to really control them. I think everyone’s natural reaction to seeing their body rot is to think they’re dying
The process of rotting was accelerated when he got injured. Prior to this, he lives much longer needing less shifting. Although he's a shapeshifter, he's still human. And human fears the unknown. He didn't know after rotting, He'll cocoon back to normal.
@@nicolaslocke1433 I'm also assuming he started rotting faster because he was actually getting older, as seen in his true form at the end. Just like old people heal slower than young ones.
Theres nothing to show he can't still body hop. He might still be able to but thought he couldn't Bc if the body he takes isn't HIS then it's like a dead husk. Think of it like killing an animal and immediately using the skin as clothing. So it starts to rot eventually.
What I was thinking
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.
bro u spoiled me
@@Nonono-zp8cv Sorry. ^_^ Shouldn't read comments, especially when it starts with words "at the end". :D
Yeah, if only he learn how to let go of things in life, even for his own life, as long no one take it besides the natural death, all the people he took even his so called pure love but its proven that its not
I'm glad I watched it before reading this comment
@@Nonono-zp8cv Why read the comments before finishing the video? You know people are going to be discussing the plot, so, you spoiled yourself.
This is probably what the genie would turn me into if I wish for immortality.
Under rated comment 😂
Fr gotta be more specific
wow !! could be whole series!
Just ask to be successful at anything you try! Literally the best wish ever. Want to fly? Sure. Want to be immortal? Go for it.
He isn't immortal - that's the issue. He is only borrowing the identity, but his aging old body is most likely what caused him to rot faster - ultimately he couldn't be able to sustain it longer than seconds and he would die from old age as his own identity. What his powers give him is only temporal youth, but even the age of the victim doesn't affect how long he can sustain the mimicry, as both younger women and older men rotted at similar rate.
I love how all actors that played as the shape shifter had to be the same person while being different people in real life
Welcome to the world of acting.
yeah its cool!
movie name?
Literally acting ☝️😁
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.
"Hearts that we broke long ago, have for years been breaking others."
But you know what you are, you re a gay
True but at least we have others like us to talk to and come up with religion/spirituality and such to allow us to not care so much about that for a while.

A random kid: "dad left to get milk and he hasn't come back since"

@@davejohnson3474 💀
Max is still his friends amidst everything....and he recognizes him....it's amazing the unconditional love animals have🥰
Yes that amazing unconditional love for fictional shapeshifters.
@@my-architect8238 who also murder people
movie name?
right?????????????????????????????????????@@Main-itt
Its not real
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?
Somewhere around the start of the recap it was mentioned that the Shapeshifter has to change form more frequently now that he is aging/old. So I think his forms lasted much longer in the past? Not sure if that's enough to cover your question though, definitely an interesting thing to consider.
8 billion persons on earth, a lot of people go missing everyday
Since he’s a shapeshifter, there’d be no way to connect all the murders under one person, they’d just look like unrelated murders.
The bodies used to last a lot longer but as he ages the bodies age quicker as well. So only recently were the strings of disappearances connected by the police because they became more frequent as he aged.
@@mechadonia and more connected, since He fell in love with that girl and staid close to her.
Take a shot every time he says "shapeshifter"
Writing this from my AA meeting
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!
.
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🤓
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
It makes total sense though.... He says multiple times that he doesn't know WHAT he is, just that when this "rot" started happening, it was panic-inducing so he did what he thought was saving him (taking others lives). In reality, he was just straight up aging and it his ability to maintain a form other than his "original" was being lost to that aging.
He also mentions that these alternate forms he takes used to last much longer.... so yeah the deaths of course are not justified but what would YOU have done?
Yeah can you blame him his body literally rotted
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
Didn't expect the cocoon part .. good one 🙏
I like how the rot arrives quickly which creates urgency to kill and shape-shift. Be a pretty dang stressful existence though.
cool ability, but so inconvenient that each body doesnt last long 😅
im thinking its because he doesnt revert to his orginal form.
In the recap he said the bodies used to last longer when he was younger. So in a way he was still aging, just not in the normal way.
@@Vassilinia Damn if he wants to live for centuries, he really needs to constantly transfer in each body every minute. But yeah, the ending is actually good.
Maybe if he does it again he can last longer now and does he even still have the ability
@@YOUNOTSMART exactly, I think he can still do it and probably for longer now
Amazing how the possessed body didn't know he had kids but know where his regular dining place and bar are.
Maybe the original cared so little for them that it didn't transfer
Nice way to capture how we're all shape shifters constantly being shaped by our memories and experiences.
movie name?
I've been bingeing all night, love love love y'alls content. Keep up the excellent work 🖤🖤🖤🤙
Awesome! Thank you @RainZ 'eryDay!
So basically if he stopped taking over other people's bodies he would return to his true form and that would stop countless deaths
No they were very countable, it was said that the bodies used to last years
all he had to do was stop after his mother
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 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.
that's a good take
And maybe something about taking on personas to be more attractive/accepted to/by people around you leads to a rot that will slowly destroy you until experience and maturity lets you realize (maybe too late) that relinquishing these facades will allow you to truly live your life and experience joy without - metaphorically - destroying others and yourself.
How long do you want the story stretched?
Director: Yes
Old man got the poon, though. Twice.
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
Or take the bodies of corrupt government officials, until you reach the presidency, and a week later cause massive confusion as the president suddenly disappears and various bodies of politicians are found dead
imagine getting all twisted memories of all the criminals.
@@dreamYTai Oh well
@@dreamYTai that sounds truly like it would be torment. Only a very good person could take on such if they were a shapeshifter taking only bad people. Good ethics and morals but bad for themself.
@@CaptainEdMercer imagines if he shapeshifting into a pedophile body and had to watch or remember every single detail of what the previous body's owner did. I don't think normal people would not be traumatized by all of that.
Interesting concept. Looks the story about a deranged serial killer and the shape-shifting was all in his head imo
Sheesh, that would be a crazy twist and enjoyable.
Holy shit I didn't think this but it sounds more plausible
@@ScarFeiss it absolutely doesn't. If it were all in his head, he'd have gotten caught way earlier, and people wouldn't treat him as the people he shapeshifted into.
Absolutely not.
@@SenhorAlien not necessarily. If he was deranged and a serial killer his viewpoint would be questionable, it already is just from the summary
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.
there is no deeper meaning at all
movie name?
Lifechanger 2018@@Main-itt
Each shapeshifting should last 10 years at least. This guy is shapeshifting before shitting, that's hell.
No he did not just blur it and show the photo as the thumbnail
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.
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.
how tf weww u able to watch it when the movie title isnt even in the comments? scanmmer!!
Nice story!! Really good thinking !!
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.
So he killed all those people for nothing
Yep
😁
Guy couldn't accept death so he brings death to others... Smh
😆
So all those ppl died for nothing ?
This kind of like the series called The Outsider but that character had more powers apart from shape shifting.
I was trying to remember the name of that book the whole time i watched this. I read it back in high school and every now and again it pops back up into consciousness
@@Lthe1 there is also a tv series based on The Outsider on HBO. Worth the watch and received rave reviews.
Everyone is neglecting the real MVP here.
The dog!
MOVIE TITLE is called LIFE CHANGER
I think we can all agree Robert is too cool to be alive. Suspicious.
An interesting plot and the way the story was told.
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.
i agree that is interesting, reminded me of a school project were everyone wants to play the lead role and splitting the "main character" into multiple main roles would have been a creative solution. The writing itself also seems to be on the level of a school project.
A shape shifters that kill is a doppleganger and monster.
A doppelganger is a double of living person, it's different from a shapeshifter
I love this kind of movies so much better than all the comic stuff
Awesome Canadien film!
Strange, that he didn’t take the memories of a biologist and try to figure out the hows and whys of his body.
how easy is it to come in contact with a biologist ?
@@astridediva right?
@@h4iba840 The internet exists
@@DjmanG but not that easy because what happened to his body isn't normal
@@h4iba840 he could've gone online and searched for an in person meeting with a real professional biologist or scientist
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.
so good movies do actually still come out
nice
New drinking game - sink a shot everytime he says "shapeshifter" and see how long you last before you pass out.
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.
thats really me right there cheers
11:51 looks exactly like Gandalf lmao

Someone call the Winchester bros.
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!
Moral of the story: be careful with what you become.
that doesn't seem to be the moral of the story wtf 🤣
The main theme here seems to be be the good version yourself and dont try to be what you are not to fit in. Being what you are not quickly rots and eventually unveils the real you
moral of the story is giving into fear causes bad things to happen,beeing fearless sets you free of a bad cycle.
You have no idea how grateful I am for you! Because of you, I will never watch this long dry ahh movie.😩Thank you!
"dry"
This is very reminiscent of a book called Touch by Claire North. Defo worth a read
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.
This was surprisingly original.
ive watched like ten movies in ten days thanks to endings explained movie recap and looper thank you guys
Dorian Gray + Invasion of the Body Snatchers + When Harry met Sally.
Thanks.
Nice story!
I've seen this movie and it's awesome!

@@shubhamtare4726 lifechanger
That entity is pure wisDUMB.
Wow, a story with no ending. I want my 10 minutes back. Lolol
This is a good movie
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.
It sort of seems like a big metaphor for people who are lonely and looking for love, but they just suck the souls from other people and become them. They don't truly live for themselves because they don't know who they are. So they live a lonely life. Shape-shifting, finding the next relationship and so on, and ending up empty and alone...well with their dog of course ♡
@@persephoneblack888 or maybe the movies just about a shape shifter and it's not actually that deep. 🖕
We can assume he's a mutant human.
His power is the ability to steal other people's lives (their appearances and memories) but only for a limited time before his original form resurfaces and he reverts back to the original.
But he didn't know that. He assumed the "rotting" was him dying, and kept body hopping all his life to prevent the process from reaching its conclusion.
Only at the end when he accepts death he discovers that it was just him returning to normal (after so many years, an old man) and that he killed countless people in vain living a miserable life while if he had gotten that courage earlier he could've had a normal existance.
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.
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.
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!
Its easy to say it when its not you
@@blackvalio4060 it is easy to say when you don't see the meaning in it. The person portrait within this movie doesn't seem to have a purpose in life. Perhaps the victims do, so it's selfish to take it away for nothing in return. Honestly, it's cool to be alive, but the more I observe and learn, I'd rather not be born or just dead. It still be okay. Death is life's importance. Immorality is a fairly tale.
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.
This was wild! I’ve never actually sat down and watch an entire video ad the voice over tends to make me cringe! But for me, this sounds like an everyday life thing, it’s like you come here as a baby and you’re given a life, you choose how to live it, and then you die. But you get to come back as someone else until you complete whatever you’re here to do!
Whao, that is an epic story.
One of my favorite movies
Awesome movie
Could be considered commentary on a number of things, like growing older, hiding the weakness that creeps up, lying to others and self to keep "living." It also reflects the cannibalistic society we live in, those who use others then dispose of them when they are done with them
Very interesting
That was a really cool story
Must have been a great gig for the actors. Pretty much everyone gets to play the lead. Top billing for everyone!
Living forever would be a curse rather than a blessing..
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.
Yeah its a pretty basic message about not dedicating yourself to always make others happy and just being yourself
That Robert tho😍😍😍
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
Accept who u're. Thats what I understood.
It's beautiful very good movie. It's so good presentation of shapeshifter. Searching for true love
Lifechanger
Dude thanks for the detailed spoilers.
"James starts calling the police!" delivery is fucking hilarious.
That is a low budget movie that I am glad to have seen on this channel because otherwise I would have been mad
This was a fantastic movie
Moral of the story: BE YOURSELF
Damn. The shapeshifter is like a combination of Rogue and Mystique.
The stress of killing another person every couple of days in order to survive would probably drive me to just stay in my room and die. It's just too much work to add another day in your life.
😆
"So who is the main character in this movie? "
Yes
