  So thematically on point most of the shots of Bruce Willis are long unbroken takes.

  Watching this for the umpteenth viewing, I couldn't help but focus on how every scene, set-up, narrative development, choice of color and mood and music, feels fresh. Even the most rudimentary moments are captured by M. Night Shyamalan's determination of form. Just take a look at the opening, with the birth of Mr. Glass, as Shyamalan captures the disorientation and confusion with the help of two mirrors and a floaty handheld long-take. Following that, the camera moving back and forth between the space of two seats on the train, or the durational tension of David Dunn waking up after the accident, with a fellow passenger slowly dying in the foreground. And that's just the beginning. By the time we…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  I love how uninterested this film is in keeping its symbolism subliminal. Shoot Glass through glass in every scene, give the everyday superhero an everyday uniform with a big SECURITY logo on the back, make it a poncho to block water after establishing his weakness as water, compose your shot like a comic panel and deliver a line like “life doesn’t have to fit into little boxes that were drawn for it” before moving the camera in a way that becomes a fundamentally cinematic language. 

  “This one has a surprise ending!”

  “The thing to notice about this piece, the thing that makes it very, very special, is its realistic depiction of its figures.”

  What else is there to say? Such raw pining for fulfillment here from everyone, sold on every conceivable level.

  This is my first time seeing M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable and I can safely say it is leaps and bounds far better than I ever imagined. Shyamalan didn't need to blow things up, have suits that make a man fly, to make an absolute great "superhero" film. No he used the power of his storytelling to do the work.
  The two leads of Bruce Willis who plays David Dunn is a man whose been in some catastrophic accidents only to survive every time.and Samuel l. Jackson as Elijah Price plays a man that since childhood has had a rare bone disease, a avid comic book enthusiast he figures out and tries to make Dunn aware of his powers. Dunn fights…

  if Bruce Willis is unbreakable in this film, would it mean that if he were to die, he would, in fact, die hard?

  Me: trying to pay attention to the movie
  My goddman brain: I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

  With all the superhero bombardments going on in the cinemas at the moment, I decided it was time to rewatch Shyamalan's take on the superhero genre and see if it holds up. Boy, did it ever.

  I have always felt that Shyamalan is a better storyteller than a director. If I look at all his films, I think this film strikes the best balance. He has written one of the best origin stories ever and manages to direct it with perfect pacing and a distinct visual style, one that I enjoyed quite a bit.

  What makes this film work so well is the down to earth and almost dramatic approach to it. The slightest bit of comic book touch comes…
