Unbreakable (2000)
Yet another one from Yoda's favorites.
WARNING: "Unbreakable" spoilers below
It was at about the 24-minute mark when I figured out that Mr. Glass read his first comic book and imagined Bruce Willis because he wants a superhero who never breaks, which would be his literal juxtaposition.
I think this interpretation isn't necessarily broken by the rest of the film. He imagines Bruce and then himself as the villain.
At the very least, this interpretation surely answers why so much of this film was so stupid.
A kid trying to shoot his own dad to prove a point? This is wrong! But he was RIGHT AFTER ALL? This teaches kids to shoot their dads if they think they're right! How come no Christian site condemned this movie on these grounds alone?!
But yep. This is Child Logic 101.
Didn't care about the story or characters tbh but OK.
Looks good, though, and employs some fancy shots with reflections in screens or from behind the drapes and whatnot.
All in all, this was passable. I definitely prefer it to the vast majority of DC or Marvel.
