Superheroes Are Among Us

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2018)

I grew up with comic books, and my husband did not. After he saw this film, he told me that I had to see it. I admit that I did not know what I was watching- until the last 2 minutes. Then I was utterly gob smacked! have seen this movie dozens of times since, and I am still gob smacked that I did not see the totality of what this director was presenting to me. I found the "twist ending" in the "6th Sense" to be obvious from the beginning; "Unbreakable" is more of a twist movie.
Watching it again this morning, I still wonder how I missed the many hints that were given to us by this director (upfront disclosure: I am a fan of all of his films), who makes his usual appearance in a scene with Our Hero, David Dunn, played by Bruce Willis. The everyday name of Our Hero; the name of his girlfriend/wife Audrey Inverso (played by Robin Wright), who does inverse the direction Our Hero could have taken in his life; Our Hero's new friend Eijah Price, aka Mr. Glass, played by Samuel Jackson, whom the movie mostly focuses on in the last 2 minutes; all of these are clues to the directors intent. I realize something new every time I watch "Unbreakable", and it is my favorite of Shyamalan's films.
If you are a fan of the world created by comic books, please see this ! I love the Marvel Universe and the newest DC films, but this movie is a comic book world that could exist in our reality.
