In Crimes of the Future from body horror maestro David Cronenberg, humans adapt to a synthetic environment with new transformations and mutations. Performance artist Saul along with his partner Caprice act as celebrity performance artists, publicly showcasing the metamorphosis of his organs into the next stage of human evolution. We're breaking down the story, including what comers next for humanity in this environment, as well as looking at the story's symbolic meanings as well as explaining the ending. - Zábava
"They turn pain into art."
I guess that gives the term, "Tortured Artist," a whole new meaning.
Good one xD
@@canadiancanucklehead8310 Many thanks ^_^

I love watching horror through this guys lens ! Foundflix has me rewatching these videos over and over
He does some of the best analysis I've seen anyone do of movies
I love watching the entire movie through this channel
Same!!
@@jessicaclauson1997 yesss because he’s a true horror film buff! 💖
me too!
It really is interesting that this new evolution is seen as so 'inhuman' to the point of evidence of it developing naturally being covered up.
Meanwhile, what is classified as 'human' is completely foreign to us, making the kid's death even more tragic.
You are such a gem for me, this channel has made it so I can watch scary movies, which I adore, but they give me nightmares (even when watched with others). This way, however, I'm able to watch them & enjoy the plot & spooky parts without it triggering my ptsd-driven night terrors. Thank you!!
Same here! Body horror is especially hard for me to watch but I can just listen and enjoy these
Just finished watching a amazing psychological horror! It’s called Rent-A-Pal! If you ever can’t think of a movie to do a ending explained on this one would be a good one!! It’s hard to figure if David is truely just schizophrenic or if Andy and the tape has something to do with his mental deterioration.
I'll add that to my list, thanks. I'll give you one, "The Twin" 2022. I've watch that roughly 50 times, I love it genuinely, because its relatable. Breaks my heart, beautiful film.
Yo! Rent-A-Pal is fabulous! Wil wheaton and Brian Landis were PERFECT
Where does it stream
@@Dilly_Dil1y Hulu is where I watched it
@@Dilly_Dil1y
Hulu for Rent A Pal
CZcams has Crimes of the Future
Am I the only one that finds Rent-A-Pal so different from this movie that was reviewed and thinks it’s kinda weird that there’s a Rent-A-Pal discussion happening. I mean it’s great but so different from Crimes
Thank you for another upload! Love this channel 💕
You are great at explaining these things. It's so fun to watch these videos.
YES THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING THIS ONE!!!!
Apparently, ‘Crimes of the Future’ was also the name of a movie Cronenberg wrote and directed back in 1970. There’s not much info on it, but from what I can find, it deals with completely different themes, though does still include a man who continually grows new organs which are then removed from his body.
Thanks for another great video man keep up the good work!
Yay, new episode! :D You are my favorite CZcamsr to watch so far! 😍
Love this one, as always. Your content rules!
Love your videos-this may be my favorite. Well done!!!
If I may make a suggestion I'd love an ending explained of the series Marianne! To this day it still feels a bit confusing to me of where exactly it leaves off but man is it a rush!
Awesome suggestion!
Yes absolutely! I hate that it was cancelled
I also think Found Flix would kill a rundown of each season of The Leftovers!
Yess! I loved this series, it’s so creepy
@@sarahmeinhart6968 I had no idea it was canceled! That's so disappointing!
The long awaited return of David cronenberg almost 25 years scanners was a groundbreaking and great movie The fly is Shakespearean that movie had me scared to death and sad as f*** at the same time
Any thoughts on the constant visual references to old ships - something about feeling washed up and useless? Also, Wippet appears framed quite often, in a mirror at one point and by the frame of a shelving unit at another. Any thoughts on that? As though he is a work of art himself - but I can’t see how that would work with his character in the context of the movie… anyone got any thoughts?
Love your content my man! long time fan
Just found out your channel and I love it already. Thank you for the vid!
I love listening to your voice. This movie is so weird and yet fascinating . Great video's Cheers mate ❤️
I like how Saul's outfit sorta reminds me of the Grim Reaper. Whether he knows it or not He's coming to end humanity and move it to the next plane of existence
Good take
Yeah, I was always thinking of Death in The Seventh Seal.
That makes a lot of sense. Nice one!
Seems like this movie is about how desensitized people have become to what was once considered abhorrent, or taboo. The constant escalation that people resort to in order to feel something. You see it on Instagram, and you definitely see it on TikTok with all the stupid challenges people do. People watch emotionally disturbing videos and feel nothing, so they must watch something depraved. It’s like drugs; each time you use it, you must have a stronger dose the next time because the original dose won’t have the same effect. The “evolution” these people are experiencing, is actually a metaphor of the de-evolution society is experiencing now. People are becoming so bizarre with the body modifications they do, are more devoid of humanity and emotion and are less and less able to interact like human beings, that they seem like something trying to imitate a human or you must question whether this person is human because of how they think or behave.
I dissagree. Conventional humans fucked their planet in this movie and nature is trying to fix it by having people evolve to clean the planets cancer that was human civilization and waste. We numbed ourselves to hear the screams of the planet and we created the dystopia we see here. The planet is evolving its own "organs" and
the humans are resisting and trying to suppress this attempt for the planet to heal. People are actively trying to suppress this new species as not "human" despite the only thing these people want to do is survive and live.
society is not deevoling......Humans today are far more compassionate than before. If anything society is improving
@@al4841 you’re entitled to your opinion.
As an infj i find it weird you cant empathize with the idea that mental health plays the primary role in people being deevolved or not and the younger generations are proven and studied to be more emotionally intelligent and empathetic than previous generations. Theyre not allowing toxic or negative views affect their life because they do not affect their mental health, they are breaking generational trauma that suppresses peoples ability to find their self identity and do what makes them feel the most fulfilled,. Getting piercings doesnt correlate with mental health but has been proven to be an acceptance of the lengths art can go to while not causing permanent harm or pain. The use of social medias has been proven to be more beneficial for society because of its access to information, poor communities are showing increasing rates of graduates because of their easier access to a world of information, kids can also find safety groups or sources for external health aid in families that are extremely dysfunctional and abusive, adults who have been so traumatized that they cant identify themselves have access to outside viewpoints and educational tools as well. If people are mentally healthy they wouldnt get addicted to medias as frequently and having access to the internet and factual data can help people learn to be mentally healthy or give them that access (as i already said). If you don’t understand these things then its likely that you were raised or are in a dynamic that doesnt treat you as an equal or like you matter enough to get mental help and youve just accepted a toxic and viewpoint putting opinions over fact because it became so normal to you. Hope you can step out of that! Its hard.
@@al4841 lmao. Humans capacity for empathy has not changed at all.
If H.R. Geiger was still alive I bet he would've helped make this
While being extremely upset still about the alien movies.
Yes!! Been waiting for this vid from you!
I had a jist of what was going on but the ending through me for a loop, glad you made this
Please, please, please do The Wave (2019)! Much obliged. Keep up the amazing content! I always fall into a hole watching your content. I love it!
Foundflix brings peace to my daily struggles
Yes my struggles of doing my own laundry and wiping my own butt. The streets are tough.
@@pegg00 i use a crazy amount of toilet paper. My ass is burning lately🔥🔥
Me too I suffer with depression and his videos always bring a little joy into my life🥺
@@MINA-nh5ip ❤️
ong :(
I was on the fence about seeing that one in theatre, glad I watched your version ahha
It’s the little witty commentary that gets me. “We don’t have boats anymore, what are you gonna do?”
This looks like an AMAZING movie! Thanks for reviewing it! And Long Live the New Flesh.
I recently saw a very psychological movie called the Aviary and I feel like it'd be perfect for an explanation! Partially because I have no idea what happened, but also because the movie leaves a LOT to the viewer to figure out themselves
The movie sounds so confusing to my poor brain but at the same time seems interesting dealing with organs and feeling no pain.
When I saw it I miss the part that they don't feel pain. ( Movie similar to video drone)
But what I got of the movie is forcing a human evolution to be plastic eater. And everyone is horning for surgery
Forever waiting on your explanation on the Thai film "The medium" I had Sooooo many questions at the end of the film still hunts me to know what really happened Jajjaj love your videos also lots of love from Mexico!
Your Videos are solid man! Surprised to see you haven't covered Kill List. It's a movie that's right up your street!
I love watching your videos man, if you could do one on The Haunting In Connecticut?
This felt very David Lynchesque. I found the feeding chairs more disturbing than anything else.
Can you do the black phone Endung explained next?! I would love to hear your thought on the movie
absolutely have to explain/ review Nope next!! It’s so good!!
This channel to me was the channel that popularized the idea of explaining movies in full detailed summaries but instead of a boring robotic voice, it’s an energetic movie loving man who does great ending explains as well!
“… We don’t have boats anymore so you know … whatcha gonna do you know” …
Thank you, that made me laugh from a good healthy place.
Great summation of this movie! I’m always so happy when you post a new video! 💜
Dude the ad break was 👌 perfection 🤣
Thank god, I really needed this after watching it.
you are friggin hilarious, there were several times i rewinded things you said cuz they were so funny !!!
love the geiger esque aesthetic of this film kinda a great way to represent the machine and humans starting to look the same as they evolve to coexist with it
Been waiting for this
director -*hits blunt* "what if we made masochism a movie"
It probably defeats the purpose, but I think the arty overture really took away from an interesting premise. The science fiction aspect (new evolution) would have been really interesting to explore by itself. Also, is there any way to make body horror feel necessary?
I think so. You'd just need to get creative.
Like if body horror tied into the message of the story. Gruesome scenes could be depicted over and over to the point that the audience gets desensitized. Like the message could be something like, and I'm just spitballing here, when people see terrible things over and over again they can reach a point when they can no longer tell something is wrong or blah blah blah.
The point of the movie probably isn't body horror, but the horror of the situation.
Body horror here feels more like an underlying plot device rather than the main focus of the movie.
I disagree. It's metaphorical for a lot of real world issues involving art.
I feel like in the career of every successful author there comes a point where either they stop questioning themselves or they stop being questioned by the people around them and they end up making something that only makes sense to them or perhaps makes no sense at all
@@NICK.... that is almost word for word what my friend said last night
Spooky
I think the movie is just a meta commentary on David Cronenberg himself and how he sees his obsession with body horror…..maybe
Those were my thoughts exactly.
Thank you for the breakdown! Really liked this movie.
I could listen to you breakdown my grocery list, sir ❤
Aragorn has come a long way for sure. I always wondered what happened to him after LOTR.
he became joey
😑
He became friends with Cronenberg, and he's better for it. History of Violence, Eastern Promises, Dangerous Method, and Crimes of the Future.
I love the genuine reactions to the movie as you review it. Feeling the exact same way about it.
There was clearly a lot of thought put into the story from a socio-political sense, but the themes are very strange and awkward. Plus, Chronenberg.
It is pretty hard to follow such a twisted movie, because you can't really empathise with anyone..
Yoooo love these videos
Always happy to see a Foundlix release
love the content!
I always watch these so I know if ice missed a film out I can see if its worth it excellent video as usual foundflix 🤘
Always the best at explaining movies. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the movie Men
This film kind of reminds me of one of my favorite sci-fi books of all time… The metamorphosis of prime intellect
Ah yes, the movie that Variety called "David Cronenberg's foray into body horror"
Because doing basic research for an article should be considered a super power, apparently
Did Variety really say that!? 🤣 🤣 🤣 Thats ironic considering than man practically invented the term "body horror"
Would absolutely love to hear your breakdown of Amulet 2020 - that ending was messed up!
I feel like part of the point of this movie is to shine a light on how much trash is being produced and left laying around. To the point where the most plentiful resource is synthetic garbage after the Great Collapse. Leading to humans evolving a means to process and break down what appears to be the most plentiful food source. But that's just a theory...
This was a great interpretation of this movie. Ive never seen it before but what you give makes it worth while to watch the movie. Thank you! Also been a fan what feels like forever. Keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰
How can you say that it's a great interpretation of the movie if you never actually watched the movie?
:p
i love your channel, and would very much like you to cover the latest jordan peele movie "nope"
Excellent breakdown!
Ive honestly been clicking off and on your channel waiting for an upload lol
Another reason why I love watching these videos
Your sarcastic jokes
Pain = Pleasure? Someone call pinhead. I'm sure our buddy Viggo here would like Voight's Liminal Sensation device.
Thanks you for explaining this. In all honesty this is the first ever movie I walked out of from the theater. I usually like these slow paced artsy Movies but this one I just didn’t understand. Also when everyone in my theater goes “what the heck is going on” after hours of watching the movie, yeah that makes me know I’m not the only one not enjoying this movie.😅
Yeah . When I heard about it was hella stoked. But this movie succcccks
@@mrselection7814 lol yeah this is definitely a weird movie and I’m not entirely sure what the point or the plot of the movie is.
I started watching this video, then decided I would watch the movie first. Got like 25 mins into a movie that made no sense and came back to this video 😅
@@iHaveTheDocuments lol
Yeah, from what I understand this movie is getting a shit ton of walk outs, but the media made it seem like it wasn't so much because it wasn't being understood and way more to do with the disgusting portrayal of the body horror aspect of things. It sounds to me like it's way more the latter than anything to do with the gore, etc. Now I LOVE me some Cronenberg, but when I hear lines like "surgery is the new sex" I can't help but think maybe it's a bit too Cronenbergian for it's own good. Certain directors that become know for a certain thing, then move away from that thing and STILL manage to find success (A History of Violence and Eastern Promises which are both still absolutely fucking fantastic), and then return to the thing that initially made them famous, it always terrifies me that they're going to essentially beat you over the fucking head with their initial niche SOOOO hard and throw any sort of nuance to the wind, and that's exactly what I thought was happening here. He even pulled a name out that, if I got the story correct, was something he had attached to a COMPLETELY different tale he had written like 20 years ago, but he decided to use it here I can only assume because he thought it sounded cool which to me seems like a completely anti-Cronenbergian thing to do. But man, wtf do I know? Hahaha I'm literally watching a video of a movie explained to me by a third party because I can't be bothered to watch it for myself. So, who is the REAL douchebag here?🤔 Clearly me. The answer is me. 😂
So ironic that this video dropped right when I hit play for the movie! 🤣 Love your videos btw!
Now I can sleep well tonight closing my eyes listening to a great video with voice of a angel lol
Remember when the idea of people carving up and modifying the human body to suit their desires and fetishes used to be shocking and horrifying?
Yessss new FoundFlix video, today will be a good day
Hey early gang. Love these reviews
Heck yeah! New vid!
It seems that this film illustrates the evolution of Cronenberg's work from pure body horror into art horror. A self analysis and criticism of his own work, if you will.
His work isn't that deep and doesn't warrant further analysis or criticism. His ideas are half baked and don't come together. Should have hired a screenwriter to clean-up his script.
@@jonfreeman9682 it's a matter of opinion and I respect yours. But I am drawn to directors who pushes the envelop and consistently comes up with novel concepts. I saw Shivers recently and immediately recognized where Alien's face huggers and chest busters' "inspiration" came from. Not cool but that's Hollywood.
@@E_l_l_i_e That's true. Cronenberg deserves credit for fresh original story scripts. This film works as an experimental blend of sci-fi, ecology, environment, evolution, body horror, art and erotica. But he includes so much that the film as a whole ends up being less than the sum of its parts. Some great story concepts here but could have been much better with a tighter script.
You guys are cringe. Trying so hard to sound intelligent.
Now that one was thought provoking for sure.
Everyone has a plumbis …
Wow, thanks for the breakdown ! That is one dense movie
11:41 =Is it just me or the idea of being under the knife is reminiscent of Junji Ito's tale about that girl who likes to do surgery (and later kept asking for people to slice her up) which weirded the protagonist (who later became a doctor) out?
Dissection Girl? The one whose internal organs resembled the animals she tortured and vivisected when she was cut up?
@@lipstickzombie4981 I think that's it... It's like that's how it felt at first before being added thematic meaning...
Hey foundflix have you heard of a Taiwanese horror movie titled "incantation" I believe it's still on Netflix but overall it's a pretty interesting horror movie
Not to spoil but overall it's a camera pov horror movie like blair Witch Project
I found the style interesting. Prompting the viewer to chant along with the mc. Ofc for spoiler reasons I don’t want to ruin the ending for others. You got Blair witch mixed with a little bit of the ring and Asian paranormal stuff. Pretty good imo
My impression about the ending: the artist (Viggo) evolved to become exactly what he initially disapproved: a "plastic consumer". Remember his performance centered on his organic capabilities, and initially he was rejecting exactly what his body became in the end... and here is the irony. 😂😂😂It was actually funny, I laughed out loud🖤loved it. Lots of symbolisms
Watching it now, it’s an out there flick to say the least. History of Violence is still the best from that director, imo.
AHoV is not even a Cronenberg movie. He did direct it, but it is not a real Cronenberg movie
@@gorequillnachovidal I’ve got the internet too I know he didn’t write it. Just stating that it seems AHoV is superior in cinematography, pacing, and direction compared to CotF.
@@robfarrell9104 there are lots of David Cronenberg movies he did not write. In general his thing was body horror. AHOV does not seem like his movie...doses not seem cronenbergian. AHOV could be made by anyone. The Fly or Dead Ringers or Crash or Naked Lunch are so obviously Cronenberg movies.
Good choice!! I wasn't that interested in seeing it for myself, so no guilt!
Me, after watching this whole video uninterrupted paying full attention:
"....what?"
keep them coming dude
The title makes it sounds like Psycho-Pass (where essentially crimes are able to be predicted before they occur, and you can be arrested for something you haven't even done yet...!)
I’m so glad Cronenberg made a comeback
When ever foundflix uploads it fe3ls like Christmas morning
Something, something, organs and art...something, something, plastics.
I enjoy your content
Videodrome was my favorite movie for many years.
I just saw the trailer to this movie last night my first thought was let me check my favorite channel you never disappoint
I love that the breakfast chair is Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times as body-horror.
Watching this video at the same time i started playing Scorn... I need a break from fleshy body horror things
OMG! Scanners and Video Drome! Awesome movies!
It seemed like a mashup of his catalog with advancing themes, and like someone else mentioned, a bit of Frankenstein's monster thrown in.
I liked it. I did not like the abrupt ending but it was good.
These type of movies are just to deep for me and always go over my head
Trust me it's not as deep as the director fancies it to be. Bottom line is humanity is evolving to eat plastics and we must learn to accept evolution.
@@jonfreeman9682 yeah see I just don’t fancy that shit
@@jonfreeman9682 that’s pretty dumb
@@emmasherrard0222 I agree this movie doesn't work. Cronenberg has done some good horror like the fly and existenz about virtual reality was not bad. He tries to blend in sci-fi, environment, ecology, evolution, art, erotica and even throws in a couple Blade Runner girls killing anyone who eat plastics but the story just doesn't come together and is a mess. The central theme about accepting our natural evolution is just boring. Still Cronenberg deserves credit for fresh original story.
@@jonfreeman9682 I completely agree I loved the fly and I do like cronenburgs work but even existential was hard to follow for me idk I love all sorts of movies and I am a huge fan of the found flix channel but I think his videos on just straight horror movies are usually the most entertaining you?
Finally I’ve been waiting for him to get to this😂
I love your videos.
The award for the most jarring ad segue goes to...
