my notes

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2019)

I absolutely love this movie. i love everything about it. the musical score is amazing and frequently makes the scene. the directing is awesome and so is the story. it has a very untraditional feel. the characters are so interesting. and never have character arcs been so apparent to me in a movie. this is a masterpiece of film-making. so many examples of how to do things right. it just hits me the right way (about 5 viewings)

the two reveals were so awesome, first that he did in fact fake his injury, and the second being that mr. glass caused those disasters. great writing and execution.
i love how the three characters main arcs were completed one by one. bruce willis is no longer sad because he's doing what he's supposed to be doing and saved his marriage. his son who no longer feels lost and his belief that his father is really a hero is proven true, literally and figuratively. and mr. glass finally finding his true purpose as the arch enemy to the superhero.
this is a superhero movie that does not follow any of the usual tropes we see in that genre. i normally love when something builds up to a big action scene. but this movie's climax was so much more impactful than an action scene. when he is fighting the rapist, i am brought to tears. it's such a perfect climax and a fitting conclusion laced with goose-bump-inducing music
