Please react to blade runner 2049! It is directed by Denis Villenueve. He also directed sicario, prisoners, arrival, enemy, incendies, and the upcoming dune film! One of the best sci-fi movies of all time, and imo better than the original!

Yeah did you see the second movie in the theater? And the reveal at the end? I remember seeing that in the theater, and hearing the music begin to play and was like "....this sounds familiar...why do I recognize thi......no....NOOOo......no way!!" And then boom, the camera gets to the end of the diner table, and it's David. xD It was so good!

[@sebastianemond5313]

​​@@preciousotoakhia9789 It was an amazing reveal that David was coming back at the end of Split, but it breaks the heart when you see what becomes of all three in Glass.

All true. But the goal of the MCU was to bring the great Crossover event from the comics to the big screen. They did a wonderful job with that.

[@SkeletonModel91]

“Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I’m not a mistake. It all makes sense. In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain is going to be? He’s the exact opposite of the hero. And sometimes they’re friends like you and me. I should have known way back when. You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr. Glass.” Some of the greatest dialogue ever written.

2002 was such a great year for movies. Since you mentioned the "frame within a frame" thing, another movie that utilizes that really well is "One Hour Photo" with Robin Williams, which also just happens to be a 2002 film.

One thing that I really like in this movie is how they brought the super hero's cape icon to the more realistic tone. Like, the hero, following the archetype, still wears a cape, but, reallysticaly, it's a raincoat (in portuguese we call it "rain cape", and I believe othe languages also use the word cape in the term).

[@chrisjfox8715]

Agreed!! Not the same but I'd recommend Meet Joe Black for being another simple yet effective slow-cooker.

[@emilie11291]

You guessed the twist mid-movie! :D The first time I saw it I had no idea he was going to be the "destined" villain.. it really broke my heart. But again, that's the whole point, cause a twist like that is EXACTLY what you find in comic books. This is by far, my favorite M Night Shyamalan movie. A lot of people's favorite is The Sixth Sense, which I also think is great but this one is just perfect, imo. The framing, the transitions, the soundtrack, THE FUCKING COLOR SYMBOLISM (David, the hero, wears greens and yellows, Elijah wears purples and blues as the villain, and other villanous people are identified by David wearing reds and oranges) is something I really love about this movie.. everything is just perfect. Also, a little trivia: the scene with the boy where he almost shoots his father was inspired by a real ocurrence in which a boy almost shot the actor of Superman for tv, George Reeves and he had to talk him down from it saying that even though he wouldn't be hurt, " bullets would bounce off of him and injure innocent bystanders." It's crazy to think something like that could actually happen, but there it is! I've seen a lot of people recommending Panic Room which is a really good David Fyncher movie. I would also like to add for your consideration Minority Report which is another hidden gem! Thanks again for another great reaction! n_n

17:40 It hit me while I was watching the movie... when Elijah leaves the message on the machine, his voice gradually goes from a tinny recording sound to a more natural sound, as if he’s right there in the room. Very creepy and effective.

[@atomicwest995]

M Night is pretty great, even thought he's had some stinkers, there are a couple of amazing films he's made. I think his first four films are probably his best, Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. I know those last two (Signs & Village) aren't well liked, but man, there's some great film-making in those. You should watch them, either as a reaction or on your own. And to really appreciate his films take a look at the behind the scenes/making-of docs of each of those movies.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Hey Atomic! Will definitely give the others a look. I’ve seen a few of them but that was a while ago!

[@fester2306]

Signs is fantastic.

[@samieltheinfamous]

I think Lady in the Water is extremely underrated. It gets a bad reputation because, in my opinion, it wasn't like his other films: there's no twist. It's a straightforward modern-day fairytale, and a beautiful one at that.

As a young man myself figuring out what I want to do in my life. Mr.Glass' quote, "Do you know what the scariest thing is? To not know your place in this world, to not know why you're here." Really resonated with me and made me tear up a bit.

[@dafty9159]

Damn, I didn't remember how well shot this movie is. I love this film themes, like, "what if Superman exists, but he didn't know he was Superman?". If you're in the mood for more comic book stuff I think you would really love HBO's Watchmen, if you haven't seen it already obviously.

[@avlisk]

I recall at the time reading that as Bruce's character became more aware of who he is, his security poncho was made larger to subtly represent his growth as a super hero. It was good to watch the whole film again, 25 years later, without the "baggage" of The Sixth Sense weighing so heavily on it. That really impacted watching this one a lot back then. Now, I can see it really stands on its own very well. Thanks.

I love that you appreciate the art of framing a shot and cinematography. So many of my friends couldn't care less about that side of film making and it makes it really hard to talk about movies with them because they only pay attention to the plot and nothing else. So much of the film making process is about what is inferred subconsciously with the composition and if you pay attention to it you get so much more out of the experience.

[@JamesVSCinema]

That’s love my man! Yeah I really do admire aspects of film like that. It’s a beautiful way to tell a story!

[@StankyShorts]

Unbreakable is my favorite Shyamalan film. I honestly think Glass is hugely underrated. I felt very mixed on it my first viewing, but grew to love it.

[@IamPoob]

Unbreakable = Meaninglessness (David) vs Purpose (Elijah) Split = Pain (Casey, Kevin) vs Power (The Horde) Glass = Rationality (Dr. Staple) vs Faith (Elijah) Saw this comment on a video essay of the Unbreakable trilogy.

[@bicranium]

I remember writing a paper on this movie back in HS. I wasn't in HS when it came out but by the time I was a junior or senior all the Spiderman and X-Men movies and everything started flooding the box office so we had an assignment to write about our favorite superhero movie. I wrote about this. When Shyamalan is on his game it's incredible. You mentioned how he worked around foreground objects later in the video but I think my favorite shot in the whole movie is at the hospital with the last survivor other than Willis starting to bleed out, through a gauze wrap, in the foreground of Willis' character having a conversation with a doctor. Has always stuck with me.

[@MagusMirificus]

I think my favorite thing about this movie is the way it uses traditional comic book language to foreshadow who the central characters are revealed to be: David Dunn has an alliterative name, like Peter Parker, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, Clark Kent, and many other secret identities, and he's usually dressed in primary colors, emphasizing the broadness of his shoulders and the symmetry of his features. Elijah Price, meanwhile, has a dramatic name straight out of a Victorian novel, and wears a long black coat throughout the film, beginning with a cane and transitioning to a wheelchair, all while wearing black gloves, speaking softly, and sporting an asymmetrical haircut, all classic villainous signifiers.

[@stevenaripez281]

Really good choice. This is such an underrated film. It's so good on many levels. Definitely my favorite out of all of Night’s films. It's shot so beautifully and the performances are great, especially from Samuel L. Jackson and Brice Willis. Have you seen the sequels, Split & Glass? If you haven't, you should.

[@moviesthatsit]

Expecting a perfect product every time discourages so many truly talented artists. I will never forget a piece of advice from a mentor: "To create and evolve, you have to make a lot of bad and mediocre art." We should be more accepting of a collection of work including masterpieces and failures -- it's human to produce wonderful, bad, middling and everything in between as an artist -- and that grace isn't given often when looking at people involved in films especially. One ineffective film can overshadow truly genius work in a catalogue and it's a loss; I wish our judgments were not so black and white in the current culture.

[@MrANTONIOABALO]

One thing I remember seeing about this years ago was how in David's hero moment, as he progresses through the scene, they used several ponchos, each one an inch longer, so that by the end it resembled more of a superhero cape. I love this film

Thank you for this reaction. It's one of my top five films. This is the best reaction/review of it since Tarantino gave his appreciation of it. There's also the sadness in the beginning of the film being shown in blue and grey hues, and there is more color at the end as they both find their purpose, even when it meant letting in brighter things like the killer, (called the Orange Man in the music score).I love too how before going to the subway to test his powers, Isaiah tells him this part won't be like the comics. Love the tying in of comics as the extensions of Greek myths to sort of explain these unique individuals in earlier times. Plus yes, the music is sooo good. Your notice of the comic panel angles of shots I had never noticed or thought of. It was nice to revisit this with someone who also appreciated it. Thanks again!

In the mid 80's in Los Angeles I was listening to an interview with Brandon Lee on a rock station. He said, he and Chuck Norris' son, I forget which one, where sitting at the end of the Santa Monica pier, when they were like 10-11 years old. They were arguing, "My dad can beat up your dad!" "N'uh uh, my dad would beat up your dad." It was pretty funny, the way he described it.

[@TPV07]

James VS Cinema yes it is, he also says they failed at marketing the movie and they should have used the headline of “what if superman was here on earth and he did not know he was superman” he calls him Shamalamadingdong. Brilliant! I think this in one of his older Tarantino’s top 10 movies interviews

[@Warlocke000]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Unbreakable is the first half hour of a superhero movie, the origin story, stretched out to a full movie. That's not a revelation or anything, it's obvious, I just have to say it because it does it so well. And you like Elijah and sympathize with him, his mom's so proud of him... it makes the end hit that much harder. Also, I must say, he's really rocking his supervillain outfit in that last scene.

[@Fozzik]

One thing you may not have noticed on first viewing, and is worth going back for, is the colors and lighting. There's a very deliberate split between the color schemes for the hero and villain and their shots. It gives the strong feeling of a comic book where a limited pallet might be used to save on printing. Very cool to see when green and when purple are dominant.

Thanks for this excellent review! I have just subscribed, after stumbling upon your review of Split, and I’ll watch that now. Have you reviewed Glass? I’ll look for that review, but I had to write immediately because I’m very excited to find your channel. You are succinct, articulate and the fact that you have a filmmaking background adds to the review. It’s great to have yet another aspect, pun intended, of how we may see these films. (My daughter is an assistant camera operator for films, music videos, tv, etc., in Vancouver, so I can sort of understand your particular appreciation of the methodology). As far as the sons character not being illustrated to the extent I would like, I’m guessing that if there was more, it may have been edited due to time constraints, and being a parent myself, I can tell you that if you ever have kids, they’re probably going to do a lot of crazy stuff that you would never been able anticipate. Also, it was fun seeing you enjoy the location shots like that.

[@getshwifty3101]

SLJ killed it with his last line. "I always knew I always a villain.....the kids called me....Mr. Glass." The way he delivers it always gives me chills, yet breaks my heart.

What is it called where the (usually) kid knows something they think nobody will believe, and finally someone does believe them? There must be a name for it. That is what I liked best about this movie and the 6th Sense. I think this is where his movies took a wrong turn, "Do twists! Your twists are great! People love them!", but the real secret sauce was the catharsis that come from these kid-secret-believed-by-trusted-adult things he set up. You do that and THEN hit them with the twist when their guard is down so the movie feels satisfying even if the twist was cut out.

Heavily agree with this statement!

18:24 And that is why you have a lock on your screen door as well as your main door. And you always lock the lock on your screen door.

Realising that the main characters NEVER touch, until the end with that reveal! Damn!

[@erickrahn]

One of my favorite "realistic" super hero movies and I always enjoyed The Village even after the big plot reveal was well known. They technically did come out with more of these movies again a few years ago (Split & Glass). I haven't seen Glass yet. That drowning scene with the pool cover sinking into the pool and the, I imagine a stunt double, lol, wearing the poncho, gives me such claustrophobia to this day. As an MMA fan, Bruces choke hold on the murderer was really friggin weak lmao, but still such a cool angle in the ceiling corner of the room. Was it one take starting from the floor and ending on the ceiling? Fun side note, the son is in Gladiator and later on in life he played the son in The Last House on the Left (of the bad guys).

So ahead of its time this movie truly is.

What makes this a great superhero film, is that it remains realistic and doesn't depend on exaggeration. Even Elijah's condition, osteogenesis imperfecta, is a real condition.

Love this movie. Not sure if you caught it, but what was David's fear? Water. What was his superhero outfit? Yep, a waterproof cloak. I loved that. Its those little things that just won me over with the movie and of course the writer/director. This movie really taught me how to enjoy the little things. Which in this movie the little things were the biggest things. Loved your reaction as well. Always enjoy watching filmmakers watch the underappreciated films. It's like watching them tell their version of a story, which isn't that what filmmaking is all about? Just found your channel. Instant subscribe!

Unbreakable is one of my favorites of all, definetly top 10 film

[@oneopinion6806]

Wonderful movie, easily my favorite of M.Night's work. 2 moments that get me the most are the kids helping him out of the pool and the paper being slid over to his son.

[@mattduck69er]

Hell yeah. Every reactor should watch this movie. It's so good.

[@rodneysteffan3073]

One of my top 50 all time favorites.

David Dunn's name follows the convention of some other heroes' names by having the first and last name begin with the same letter like Wally West, Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, etc.

[@nicolasbls1738]

You saw Split and Glass ? Because its a trilogy. And this is the best superhero saga of the cinema for me x). Seriously, look this two masterpieces ! And James McAvoy in Split is one of the best performance I have seen.

This movie is a master class in filmmaking. This is one of shabaman's best twisted endings.

[@nickdefran33]

Aye shoutout from Philly! Great reaction as always man, keep it up! A good suggestion to check out is You were never really here. An overlooked movie in my opinion, a taut thriller with Joaquin Phoenix
