The whole Unbreakable/Split/Glass trio was so good!! I went into Breakable not expecting The Sixth Sense, I didn’t need to. I guess we needed the gap in between for the story for the last 2 to tie things up. Now it’s cool to watch them all in a binge. I also love that even the kid who played David’s son came back later to play his role again, as well as Elijah’s mom.

[@Jacana2k6]

To be fair, at the time of production no one wanted to watch a superhero movie. The last few 90's Batman movies kind of ruined the idea of superhero movies. Thankfully X-men came out the same year and fixed that.

[@jr2904]

You nailed it, the media landscape and the perception of superhero/comic movies were very different a quarter century ago. I remember my mom renting Captain America for me as a kid, it was silly and goofy looking haha. I think that was the 1990 version. Comic adaptations were usually crap other than the first two Batman movies. But, after so long, it can be easy for many of us to forget what things were like back then; or for some, they weren't even alive yet... Now I feel old haha.

[@meiketorkelson4437]

I LOVE that this wasn't pitched as a superhero. There was something throughout the movie where you're really unsure whether David is or isn't something special. It just feels very tense and grounded and like no other superhero movie out there. Not knowing if this is genuine or some kind of delusional psychological horror.

[@wilfridwibblesworth2613]

Things that made it good, marketing didn't market is a comic book movie and you're not sure if it's real until like 75% of the way through the movie. So even if the studio didn't want to market it as a super hero movie, I think it helped.

I love Unbreakable, and it's the batman sequel. David Dunn is a very interesting person, and not doing what you are made to do can make you depressed or longing for more. I feel if they went for the plane crash, it would have definitely given away a little too soon the twist, plus it might have made people not want to watch it after well the events of 2001. I love Split and bits of Glass. I very much encourage you to cover Spilt and Glass in the future! I watched these films before starting my community college, and they stayed within my mind after Psychology Class. There is so much depth in the films! I didn't mind David's Son, but yeah, that gun scene, right out of left field, lol. Great video, even if I researched some of this before, but not all of it. - Luke

I remember I liked this film when it came out and was pretty tired of hearing people say it was "good but not at good as the 6th sense" or how they were "looking for the twist". I saw a bio of Rod Serling some time later talking about how much he hated people expecting a twist in all of his work and couldn't help but think Unbreakable suffered for similar reasons. In any event, I always loved the soundtrack for this film, it captures the feeling of David rising to become a hero and finsing who he is in a way that is somehow reserved in it's scale but still triumphant and epic. Reflecting the setting and themes od the film very well, I felt at least.

We all know he got lucky with the success of Split and was able to link the other Unbreakable premise to it. Nothing more nothing less.

[@ShonnDaylee]

You hit the nail on the head. The character from Split is only superficially linked to the characters from Unbreakable. Clearly, Glass was an afterthought. This is also likely why Glass is by far the worst film of the 3.

[@thedarkknight7287]

I think one of the main reasons the movie was not as financially successful as, "Sixth Sense", was the fact the story was a superhero film grounded in reality. Up to that point, the superhero movies the audiences had been exposed to were still based upon comic book fantasy, with over-the-top scenes that you would expect from those type of films. This movie took a more realistic look what if a man had these special gifts but grounded in reality. Of course, then we got its sequels Split and Glass. Love it or hate it this trilogy series really was done quite brilliantly, and sadly the ending of the series could have been better, which I think left audiences with a sense of a letdown. Great video Minty.

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

It's my favourite movie of Shyamalan's, and I really did like the angle of a 'superheroes, but realistic'. You can actually imagine someone like him existing IRL; naturally gifted with tougher bones and strength, stronger than they appear they should be, and amazing instincts for people, and some people just never seem to get sick. Even his weakness makes sense in context; someone like that IRL would almost certainly have denser bones and musculature, so they'd probably sink. Him getting sick when near drowning could just be considered "Well, they nearly died, it makes sense that even a strong immune system would have issues under those circumstances." It sounds rather plausible, when you take it from that angle. There are in fact people out there with unusual natural talents. Maybe not to the level of surviving deadly accidents without even scratches because 'just that tough', but some people can do some pretty amazing feats, though they usually involve a lot of training.

There were designs for a speedster who was a high school track star, a shapeshifter ex-convict who was a woman, a telepath of some sort, and a Namor/Aquaman like character. All of whom were meant to be in JUST Unbreakable before getting their own films, and eventually a finale team up movie against The Horde and his master, Mister Glass, who was meant to transform into an almost Doctor Doom like character, wearing a protective suit to keep him from getting hurt any further.

Best reason I can think of as far as why his kid was acting weird. His parents strained relationship can be a deeper cause than you think. Even if they're being cordial, their kid can feel it just as we do. Imagine trying to be ok with your parents but scared what might happen to them. So you try to hold on to something that you think is a good thing. You want it to be true because then there's something he feels like he can hold on to because right now, he can't hold on to anything else. Not saying it's not weird or off but it can happen.
