M. Night Shyamalan & James McAvoy on Split | FIlm4 Interview Special

I first noticed them in a particular scene in Penelope. And suddenly I was like “Oh my god!” 🥰

And the Oscar goes to... James McAvoy :D

[@Greatsaint2000]

and et cetera

[@jonathandrake2036]

JaSta0810 yeah man

[@debraburns2761]

It's about time he is recognized for the talent he is.

[@cuac5869]

@Rajesh Sivaram he didn't even get nominated. The Oscars are too biased. They only look into the "Oscar bait" types of movies. Sad, stern, pretentious, and with long close up face shots. You know what I'm talking about.

[@davidholaday2817]

James McAvoy owns in this movie.

[@ashleyallen7729]

I’m not gonna lie. He 100,000,000% absolutely no doubt got cheated out of receiving an Oscar. James totally deserved an Oscar for this performance. He was remarkable at 9 characters while others were perhaps only “alright” as 1 character.

[@vanessam6462]

my favorite scene from this movie has to be the session with the Dr. when she first meet Dennis and the transition from Barry to Dennis

[@KristenAgnesCB]

Are his eyes even a thing? Like that color should be illegal, unbearably beautiful. Just like his acting (oscar worthy).

[@fatima_hussein]

I can't look at James and not smile. I can't even concentrate.God!!

[@samanthasmith390]

I seriously melt every time I see James' perfect blue eyes!!

[@EdNorty]

Dennis is a good actor if he's just impersonating Barry.

[@talacocheta9001]

Many alters can do that because they co-host enough that they learn how to impersonate the regular host. That's why the true number of people with DID isn't known; because someone can have it and not know it and the alters that front don't want anyone to find out, so they pretend to be the person.

[@Azrielle77]

this guy is an Epic actor. a hot one too..

[@jaimebreen1165]

Azrielle77 yes epic , hot, ectetera

[@uncertainsubscriber4815]

Exactly

[@abikulendran8702]

ARE HIS EYES SERIOUSLY THAT BLUE

[@samanthasmith390]

they really truly are!!

[@eleniallen2083]

SPLIT is an amazing film. Its left me "feeling and thinking" of the film days after ive watched it. Mcavoy is perfect for the part,

[@Iainey]

Eleni Allen me too!! I'm still thinking about it so much 🤔

[@honestcomments8053]

Mr. Shyamalan also deserve the credit.

[@leisure8735]

Those blue eyes and his smile... I'm dead.

"the broken are the more evolved."

Rejoice!

[@xpinksweetcheeksx]

"You are different from the rest"

[@annesafo6142]

I literally cried when I heard him say that. I went to movies to watch Split for the second time just to hear him say that again

[@swa6441]

Ohh my god!!it's amazing to see that other people feel the same way you do..kinda get to you to think you are not alone...

[@blu0x7d12]

But Dunn is unbreakable

[@iant88888888]

I predict that McAvoy will get an oscar or several before he dies. Only 37, alot of famous and highly skilled people havent even made it into a big movie by them.

[@RT-nm7xk]

"That's clevaaa" he's so attractive

[@samanthasmith390]

i'm blown away by how much and how well James can change his accent!

Mr. Shyamalan and James deserve an Oscar for this movie.

This movie is a game changer for sure

[@anahialcala5241]

Your eyes and etcetera 😍

[@sandravegavera2954]

A lot of people didn't get Unbreakable, waiting for a second, third, etc. Sixth sense, but now that we can see the entire trilogy, including Glass, it shows what a genus Shyamalan is. And McAvoy, uff, he's so deserving of an Oscar!

[@sodozabi36]

The first time you see Patricia, so fucking gold. The little "hmm?" and whatever that face he/she gives main girl (I forgot her name) lol that shit was like the perfect combo of Humor, Comfort, and Fear.

[@jacobstaten2366]

Wilbscott Noibez I loved the line and expression "It's got paprika in it (!)"

[@temaerdhlamini4616]

Split still remains one of my favorite movies of all time

[@VisualizeYourMusic]

dat patricia solo talk was honestly ASMR for me

[@barbaro267]

The premise of tricking the personalities to fight against each other in order to escape actually never played out in the film. Hedwig is easily manipulated, but he did not hold the ability to get the girls out, and he didn't want the girls to leave anyways. So....the whole "impurity" thing and the main girl's painful past got her out of her imprisonment, not the personalities tripping over each other.

[@XanderCrease]

+Barbaro267 There was no "premise of tricking the personalities to fight against each other". Would have made for an even greater movie though. But it's not in this one.

[@barbaro267]

Huh...I thought I read that somewhere, but I could definitely be wrong ;)

[@XanderCrease]

+barbaro267 They argue a little I guess, and fight for supremacy, in a way🤔...it's complicated.

[@chellelaw667]

barbaro267 was he easily manipulated? I think he was manipulated only by Dennis and the matriarch character. The personalities were too committed to overcome the host. The three personalities grooming the young women for the beast did not have enough time to be convinced otherwise. The beast was making his appearance as quickly as possible.

[@TheFilipaze]

barbaro267 Well, Barry didn't like what they were doing, did he? He was the one who knew all the personalities but Dennis and Patricia took his power to "come to the light" at will.

[@brewwithgemini7358]

I’ve seen this film 6 times...it’s probably my favourite film ever, James’ performance was absolutely amazing, he portrays the different personalities so effortlessly!! A true talent...❤️😍😱

[@LayneFable]

such an amazing movie; i hope it wins tons of awards !!

[@jacksquatt6082]

It won't. M. Night made a few crappy movies, and earned a reputation as someone with a funny name to be ridiculed. So "The Academy" will probably ignore this movie. Also, the content of this movie tends to be something boring people would label as "weird", and weird movies, no matter how great, don't win Hollywood awards.

[@LayneFable]

Well it's my new favorite, if that counts for anything !!

[@jacksquatt6082]

Layne Fable I also enjoyed it quite a lot. I think that is the way most people will have to enjoy things: on their own terms without outside approval.

[@Masterpain33]

same. I watched the movie curious left hyped. I loved Unbreakable.

[@KurwaRomek]

How McAvoy didn't get an Oscar is beyond me.

[@mikan1998ful]

Holy shit... Is that his real accent?

[@deepankdevate2183]

No this is just James. Barry's accent is the real one

[@jennakrowicki5412]

How James plays all these personalities it was amazing how he was able to do that! My favorite was hedwig and he say etcetera!

[@Deleteriously]

Can we somehow funnel all the money in Hollywood to James Mcavoy? Is he not brilliant enough to warrant that?

[@jacobstaten2366]

I saw the movie with someone who has D.I.D. and we both thought it was very respectfully done unlike most Hollywood stories

[@zoyaayeshakhan5577]

Omg !! Really!! I've never met a person with DID in real life ... Can u tell me what was DAT person's reaction after watching d muvy ?

[@sodozabi36]

What he said about leaving things out to let the audience fill it in themselves. So much yes. Thats not just for film either, I think some people doubt the power of that.

[@mella621]

I LOVE JAMES MCAVOY FOR CREATIN THIS ROLE FOR THE MOVIE , INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE !

[@natethegreat7821]

Ok seeing as how everyone in the comments is praising James for his looks, acting, and accent and/or praising M. Night whilst making fun of his last name, etc. I guess it's my job to point out the girls did an ok to great job and I enjoyed seeing them...

[@samanthasmith390]

Anya Taylor-Joy did do wonderfully, she's a great actress, I love her in The Witch! From what I can see from interviews, she seems so kinda and down-to-earth and very insightful. Jessica Sula wasn't bad either, but I wasn't so impressed with Hayley Lu Richardson's acting. Was kinda surprised that she got the part.

[@natethegreat7821]

Samantha Smith . Valid points indeed I only just saw the film a short spell ago so I dont remember the character names but I felt the "dirty blonde" was the weak link. The lead was great and the other was ok. They were all easy on the eyes as well so theres Hollywood for ya.

[@abikulendran8702]

[@heinblod3485]

"There isn't really a twist in this."

[@barbaro267]

Biggest lie of the year so far

[@peshmerge44]

that´s not a twist. it is more like a revelation.

[@testnowhehe]

The only real twists is revealing that the beast was real and seeing how he looks and what he was capable of. And also, i guess seeing that the last girl doesnt die because she is pure. Ohhh and i guess maybe at the end with the man in the wheel chair reference, that made it link to another movie. Is there Any other twist i miss?

[@LPmotion]

Yeah, that it take place*** SPOILER*** in the same world as Unbreakable. This twist changes the genre of the movie, cause we thought it was a thriller, but it actually was a Super Villain origin set in a realistic world all along.

[@mackenziehill9285]

More like Orwell😍 Orwell is an adorable historian 😍

[@avrevs]

something really peculiar happened when i watched this. my brain 'saw' him with different hair on each personality. afterwards i had to go back and watch the preview to see the same haircut. i guess it is just a credit to mcavoy's ability to project an idea with his acting. it was a challenging film for me emotionally as i dated someone with this mental process. it was not as pronounced but still that also was challenging. we have really a narrow way of perceiving others and even containing their personalities or preventing change in them. so having relationship with someone who exhibits change constantly is profound.

[@apollinariaburiak2862]

everyone has already commented on it but... i mean hIS EYES

[@keriddunk1520]

The reason they didn't give McAvoy the oscar is because they would have to "split" the award statue into pieces.

[@jasweerj4504]

James is perfect.

[@ramblingrose34]

Love James! Love Night! Best movie ever!

[@julieharden2433]

If anyone wants to read more into this, DID, I highly recommend "When Rabbit Howls". It's the true story of Truddi Chase who had 96 distinct personalities. Truddi writes in first person, and writes as other personalities as well. The book does an excellent job of explaining how and when Truddi's brain creates these personalities. This is the type of book that stays with you.

[@orangenblue6981]

I love Ewan McGregor, but I always thought James would have made a perfect young Obi Wan.

[@jahminajeresano8331]

When quarantine ends, y'all at Split better do a maze where James would reprise his role in Split and Glass and literally just chase the fans through the maze! Petition for them to do it :)

[@HelenaAlbaValdes]

SoaB "no there is no twist" xD GG, McAvoy GG!

[@TreezWonderland]

oh and "all the way to the End", well played.

[@athenascurse]

I clapped like a giddy school girl at the end of split. So exciting waiting for Glass. When Kevin shifted into the beast i dropped jaw. Even tho it was so simple a transformation. And when he realized as the Horde she was Broken just like him and said "the broken are the more evolved" that was perfect. It explained why he transformed to begin with. And could she eventually do the same to join Dunn? Who knows. I don't know if her character will be in the next universe. But she should. m.night worked so hard on allowing us into her world and helping us understand who she is. And than going thru this abduction as well. It must've awoken something great inside of her. Much love M.Night.

[@Tundra0128]

People who suffer from DID are attacking the film lol saying we have no idea what its really like. Lets be honest here folks, the movie makes DID look alot worse that it actually is. I highly doubt people with DID get completely possessed by a different personality entirely lol. Besides the movie is helping you guys by making DID more widely known now

[@jacobstaten2366]

JTundra I saw the movie with someone who has D.I.D. and we both thought it was respectful. One of the personalities can come out without warning and have opposing motives, contradicting each other, etc. I talked to a psychologist who said a female patient with two female personalities had two different menstral cycles. 0.o

[@jacobstaten2366]

akaElleLatham That may be true or at least in part. There are people who repress memories and behavior because of stress. A lot of people think Dr.Jeckle and Mr.Hyde is really about alcoholism. I don't build a tolerance to it so 3 beers get me drunk and I don't remember what had happened afterwards (naturally I don't drink anymore). Some people are just as capable athleticly as others but can't perform with the wrong mindset so it makes sense that one alter can push their physiology to the structural limit and another can't fight their way out of a paper bag.

[@rihniapicci7125]

also it's a movie... most people should be smart enough to remember that

[@gatesmith3383]

JTundra actually most of the people attacking this film don’t even have DID but instead people think they know how the people with DID feel and yes you do get technically possessed by another alter/personality

[@cacampbell3654]

This film is so desperately needed imo!! Far too few mental health professionals qualified to treat this condition at all, let alone in a way that is profoundly empowering (which is what DID survivors need and deserve)!!! So many people suffering so terribly, often institutionalized in one way or another (living in group homes, heavily medicated, etc.). 💔😠

[@amylee7466]

This movie has caused so much hurt within the DID community not to mention the amount of misinformation surrounding DID.

[@HelenaAlbaValdes]

@@amylee7466 which hurt has the movie caused exactly?

[@r53538]

@@HelenaAlbaValdes i'd assume it's because of the villianisation of DID. many films treat people with DID as scary, volatile, dangerous etc when that's not always (or even in the majority) the case, and lots of people don't research it and realise that it's not an accurate representation.
