 That tastes like when Bruce Willis would actually care Hey guys, it's a little bit of a random review here, but After the whole fiasco of glass, I really wanted to go back and watch Unbreakable Which I oddly enough had only ever seen once and I think I thought about the mid-2000s but it always stuck with me in terms of its concept and Having rewatched it now. I can definitely say it is probably The best night Shyamalan movie that I personally have seen I haven't seen all of his but I've seen all of his quote-unquote good ones And this is my favorite one for two very specific reasons one is its dedication to staying within the realm of a Realistic reality as the film tries to portray and that's not just the idea of the heroes being in the real world But the idea of a realistic sort of hero the interactions between the characters being very real Very slow and the whole movie itself being a bit of a slow burn also definitely its cinematography done by Eduardo Cera Who keeps it so simple and these long long takes without cuts and Helps build this realm of reality this realism into it And then even the ending the ending actually has those still frames with what happened to those characters afterwards just further and further Developing this idea of a realistic world So I definitely got to give Shyamalan a lot of credit for keeping to this realm that he wanted to create to this world That this universe exists, which is a mirror of our own in fact of the time The second thing is just the acting in this the acting in this is actually really good It's amazing to see Bruce Willis give a shit about a role that isn't John McClane I've been watching the die-hard movies a lot recently just the three good ones Anyways just seeing his reactions and his interactions with his family with different people with Elijah is so Genuine I know I shouldn't be really praising the guy for doing his job correctly But he really does give a lot into this character and David Dunn is probably one of the best characters That night Shyamalan is ever written. He has flaws He's not a perfect human being his entire life has been kind of in a search of a purpose and his interactions with his son Some of the interactions are so good, which by the way his son is also a very good actor in this movie There's two scenes in particular that he stands out really well is The first is when he has the gun and he's pointing it at Bruce Willis and he's saying I won't hurt you It'll just bounce off and it's a very tense situation and it plays out In a realm where you actually could believe a conversation like this would happen in this sort of situation if Someone was in fact a possible superhero. How Bruce Willis comms like diffuses the situation He says I'm going to move away He doesn't say anything about punishment in terms of what he'll do to his son or you know What the ramifications of what he would do would be he just says I'm going to move away And his son doesn't want that because they are rekindling this relationship He's trying to get his father back and then when he puts the gun down everyone does like whoa Just sits down and that's how you feel after watching the scene because it was all just one take to the second is When he reveals to his son what he did like he's the savior and there's so much emotion in that scene They show it in glass and I was trying to remember the significance of it And there's just so much in it his son Just in arms of the idea that his dad has finally accepted this whole superhero thing that he was in fact not wrong about what his He thought his father was and he's just so happy to not only see his dad as a superhero But to have his dad and his mom back together I know I already said it but I really want to talk about how good the cinematography is in this the very first scene Is when Elijah is born and it's one take yet There's four different angles in it They keep on going up and down between the two and then they go to the side and then they go further back like this And it's so good and they do this several times in the movie When Bruce Willis is on the train when he's fighting the guy in the house the freaking Window curtain shot now that is one of the best shots in the movie And it's literally just a standstill shot Right at the camera and there's these curtains that are in front of it They're kind of like waving back and forth if you really really look you can see that someone's down on The side like tugging it, but it works so well in terms of when the breaks happen not just for Basically a really good visual shot, but dramatic tension As Bruce Willis slowly moves towards the curtain They're always cuts back and then it will open again as he's moved closer And then when the villain appears when the guy who's taken over the house He appears in Samuel Jackson is really good too and there's this Elijah character and this twist is My opinion his best twist Admittedly when he looks at all the stuff on the side and he sees all the obvious bombs stuff on the side It kind of de-mitigates it like all he had to do is walk into the room like oh, hey You're building bombs here all that needed was that handshake And when you think about there's so much in that scene because Samuel Jackson is the one who says I think this is where we shake hands because he knows that when he does David Dunn is going to know everything about him and he is going to go down for everything that he has done But he finally has resolved himself in terms of finding a purpose that he was the one who was able to bring David Dunn into the world I just really like the idea of a realistic story in a world where Superheroes could exist. This is something that Shyamalan Really really shined with in terms of his writing and in terms of his world building and terms of directing every single part of this film is so Detailed that really all he has to do is have Edward Russo whole have the camera just on what matters He doesn't need all this quick or interesting editing It just is on the characters also It helps that James Newton Howard provides a fantastic score for this film too the music in this movie is so good I keep forgetting just how good the music is in this film And it helps emulate so many of these scenes. So if you haven't seen them breakable. Yes It is a very slow burn. They try to emulate this in glass, but not really the best in my opinion, but it is a Very unique film. It is one of Shyamalan's best if not his best movie It has fantastic acting from Bruce Willis kid who plays his son Samuel Jackson Robin Wright pen Oh that story is so good too. The idea with him rekindling his relationship with his wife It's just really really well done and the cinematography is simplistic yet fucking gold the music by James Newton Howard is a fantastic blend and the writing and twist is Fantastic and probably I guess I said the best work that Shyamalan ever did so in the end. I'm gonna give on breakable I was surprised. I actually think about giving this a six, but I Really enjoyed this movie. I really like watching it It is one of my favorite films that Shyamalan's ever done So I'm gonna give it a seven out of seven. Honestly, this is the best one I remember being kind of very much let down by the sixth sense because The first time he talks to his wife and his wife doesn't answer him was like, okay, of course He's dead that never really got to me But unbreakable has always stuck with me and that's a movie that I've only ever seen once up until now But I've always remembered it also that pool scene that pool scene is just terrifying That's one of the scariest stunts I've ever seen done.
