It Was the Kids...They Called Me Mr. Glass

M. Night Shyamalan's most ingenious work to date, this film documents the hypothetical question concerning the existence of superheroes. What if they existed? What would they be fighting for when they struggle to even keep their homes relatively happy? Bruce Willis has never been better in a role, though many people think that Shyamalan's work is stilted, I find it to be interesting and questioning of the human condition. He adds thrills exactly where they should be, realism where it is expected to be, and the unimaginable where it is never expected but always appreciated. A great film.

The Glass Man Knows

Shyamalan's analysis of the archetypes in comics is spot on. For those of you who dig supers movies, try taking Samuel L's reading on heroes and villians and applying it to the recent Marvel Wave.

Although some of his movies lose the plot, Shyamalan undeniably has a master's eye and sense of mood. Unlike Spider-man or Hulk, he avoids the primary colors associated with comics and goes with selective moments of color enhancement -- a vision that is slightly more crisp, more alert, as though seen through a flash of adrenaline.

Bruce Willis is the strongest I've ever seen him -- something he accomplishes through silence and presence, rather than through his smart-aleky die-hard persona. He also manages to be vulnerable at the same time -- a quality Shyamalan seems to bring out ...

Review - Unbreakable (2000)

Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) spent his entire life studying comic books. When he found out about a man who might have the abilities of the people in the comics, he decides to start studying him in “Unbreakable.”

Bruce Willis (as David Dunn) is back in director M. Night Shyamalan’s second feature film, this time as another love-estranged man dealing with supernatural forces. But it is in no way the same as “The Sixth Sense.” This time the mood is still solemn, but with a lighter feeling to it. While the color scheme of “The Sixth Sense” was sort of a red tint, “Unbreakable” uses a bluer look, contrasting the two greatly. I’m not really trying to compare the two, I just wanted to note this interesting style.

That’s one of the great things about this movie: style. I can’t name anot...
