A man wakes up alone in a brightly illuminated white room with no windows or doors. When he presses a mysteriously phallic protuberance that appears on one wall, a pink toothbrush materializes from nowhere, clattering to the floor and setting in motion a genuinely bizarre chain of events. Soon the imprisoned man is engaged in absurd and hilarious attempts to escape the gleaming room, releasing random objects from the walls, creating a life sized mouse trap game in which a rope, a toilet plunger and an earthenware jug full of sushi might just be the keys to his escape. Meanwhile, in a dusty town, a green masked Mexican wrestler known as Escargot Man prepares for an important match. His family gathers around him, worried about his seeming impassivity before battle.

Typical Japanese bizzare style
It is an eccentric Japanese movie that I didn’t find artistic. It was weird for me but the movie was trying to teach some lessons I guess. I didn't skip but yeah I watched many scenes in 2XPLOT VIEW
The man is trapped in a white room is has a scene saying LEARN, which supposedly meant that he needs to find his way out of the room himself. When he finds his way out, he gets trapped in a bigger room but grey colored and a cut scene says PRACTICE. This means that whatever he learns in the white room should be used to get out of the grey room. But the man uses physical ability and climbs the wall, stepping on the switches. But here is the weird thing, every time h steps on a switch, a man in the real world is affected and does strange things.
When finally he makes his way out he gets into another room and the scene cut says FUTURE. This might mean he was ready for the real world.
The Mexican wrestler was somehow hypnotized or something happened when he went out with the NUN maybe she did some magic on him.
MY HYPOTHESIS
1>The man is trapped in the room, it is like the room represents the human body(Mexican wrestler) and the man represents the cells. whatever they do affects the body and we perform according to our cells.
2>The man might be confined as a study subject. And Scientists are doing research on him.
ACTING
It was frustrating to watch that middle-aged man trying to escape. the acting was just average.
MUSIC had some radio songs and orchestra singing which I skipped.
REWATCH absolutely NO. it didn't click me at all to rewatch again. even if I didn't understand I don't want to watch it.
RECOMMENDATION
Watch this if you want to know how the man escaped the white room. or if you like bizarre movies.
Do not watch it for some great amazing story, you will be disappointed.
