Great movie, and I was pleasantly surprised to see OI actually depicted. I have done LOTS of research on Glass Bone Disease because one of my friends has it. Two observations, though. -Samuel L. Jackson is the tallest character in the movie. Most people with Osteogenesis Imperfecta do not grow to normal height, not to mention above-normal.Rarely, people with Type I (his type in the movie)do reach normal height, but I don't know, this still bothered me. Also, He mentions that there are four types of OI. This is true, but he also says that "Type Fours don't last too long". He is referring to the type where babies are born with a barrel-shaped ribcage that constricts their breathing until they either suffocate or break all their ribs. The only thing is, this is type 2, not type 4. Just thought it would be interesting to note. Great movie, by the way. In my opinion, M. Night Shyamalan's best. Unfortunately, this movie is extremely underrated. I was amazed however, by the solid acting, incredible twist, and many other qualities that make a movie enjoyable. Good music, memorable lines (especially the closing paragraph), great writing and casting...The filming, that make shots appear as if they were out of a comic book, the appreciation for art, the contrast between opposing characters (visual and character, etc.), just like in comics and visual arts. I love art, I love movies with art appreciation, and I love a gripping film. Wonderful. Better than the sixth sense. Definitely. It deserves much more credit than it receives from most moviegoers.
