Unbreakable  the work of a visionary director

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2002)

M. Night Shyamalan did it again. After the journey of a man into his past in "The sixth sense" he invites us now to join him on a new fascinating trip into a comic book-world, which, nevertheless, reveals so much more about our whole life on earth, then many realistic dramas usually do. The yin and the yang, the good and the evil, the north and the south, so the movie plays and circles about those two opposites sides of one medal. If you regard Willis' role as someone "godlike" or as the mysterious warm feeling, that sometimes everyone of us can notice out there. It doesn't really matter to deeply enjoy the movie.
Besides this deep philosophical aspect, Shyamalan is not one of those guys, who wanted to push his audience through 90 minutes with, for some people, an overblown message or with the attitude of an intellectual. He likes the small things and sings. For example, the way his characters look at each other or behave in certain situations reveals so much more about their interiors, than words or dialogues could do.
You don't have to be a comic book-fan to understand the meaning of "unbreakable". And as "The sixth sense" the language used in the film is universal and unique. When you notice the tragic of the story (and furthermore the deep humanity that lies beneath it), it's because you share the philosophy of the director and the philosophy of millions of other people.
Simply a great masterpiece of art. I rated 9/10.
