[YT Edit] Unbreakable (2000)

Comments

Kevin

Don't worry about it Cass! You give so much of yourself to this channel (which we appreciate) but enjoy camping!

Celeste McAllister

The reluctant hero,classic storytelling by M.Night Shyamalan,there's two more of his style of suspense..'Lady in the Water' 'The Village'.♡

David Nesbit

You definitely need to watch the other two parts of this trilogy “Split” and “Glass”.

Bill Hayden

Unbroken would be great for war movie Wednesday

Lamar Smith

Dearest Cassie, McKenzie and I are on a wonderful Daddy-daughter vacation in DC. On this movie, however, do you happen to recall the gentleman in the blue poncho with the drugs? Do you know who that is? That was the director, M Night. His biggest cinematic influence was Hitchcock who had a habit of putting himself into cameos in his films. M. Night does the exact same. It’s always a bit of a guessing game with him what, exactly, he’s trying to say with the character he chooses to portray or the exact moment he chooses to appear. Now, on the sequel, Split…. Are you sitting down? Are you ready for a reunion with Ms. ‘Elizabeth Harmon?’ Anya Taylor Joy was, for a few films, M. Night’s muse. Her turns in the next two movies made ‘Q’s G’ possible for her. They demonstrated that she had the acting chops to portray, realistically, a young woman trying to live her life past unbelievable trauma. Get to the next two as quickly as you can. I might recommend, if you watch the next one at night, you have Ben close by, ready to pull emotional support duty much like ‘Shining.’

Cassie… Bruce Willis is not a main character in the next film in this series “Split” (starring Anya Taylor Joy from Queen’s Gambit & James McAvoy from X-men). However, the films do tie together and both he and Samuel L. Jackson are featured in the third film “Glass”. TBH the 3rd film is probably the weakest of the three, but they are all still worth a watch.

Pretty interesting looking back when this film came out. This was before "superhero" films were big in the mainstream. Superman 78 and Batman 89 were loved and showcased that you could create comic book movies in live action but Batman and Robin from 1997 put a bad taste in everyone's mouth and forced studios to rethink how they should create Superhero films. Superhero Animation was doing great though. So basing a whole plot around comic books was a pretty wild choice in 2000. Comics were on a down fall in 1990s and Marvel even filed for bankruptcy so the early 2000s was really a time when comic book related media started to come back from the shadows. This was before the MCU, Spider-Man, and Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy. But this film did release a few months after X-Men. Unbreakable released on November 21, 2000 while on July 12, 2000 the film X-Men released. X-Men really pushed forward the idea that Superhero films can be mature and gritty while also dealing with topics in our society. Unbreakable may not be based on a comic sharing the same name but it does pulls heavily from the Superhero's and comics but puts a more grounded spin on everything. So I personally think the success of X-Men really benefited Unbreakable, Alot of people I know loved X-Men and thought "Hey so maybe Unbreakable will be this amazing" and it was for alot of us. Should also give credit to Blade (1998) which also showcased a more grounded and gritty take on a comic book movie. And just a year later in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #5 (2001), Nick Fury was introduced modelled after Samuel Jackson who then got to play Nick Fury in the MCU in 2008. James McAvoy who appears in the next film "Split" played Professor X in X-Men: First Class (2011) and then went on to appear in Split (2016) so it's pretty cool seeing all these actors across comic book movies. Bruce Willis was in Sin City (2005) based on Frank Miller's Graphic Novel by the same name. So by the 2000s comic book inspired movies really started to pop off.

Javier Hernandez

I agree you should see the next two in this trilogy. In Split James McAvoy (Atonement 2007 ) plays more than a dozen characters. I respectfully disagree with the argument that X-Men was the first movie to make super hero movies gritty, mature, and character driven. 1989 The Punisher, 1989 Batman, 1990 Darkman, 1994 The Shadow, 1994 The Crow, 1997 Spawn, 1998 Blade - were all dark and shunned the over the top kid-friendly treatment of the original Batman sequels. A few of them were even rated R. By the way if you have not seen Atonement you should really put it on your list.

Isaac

I 100% agree. I adore Batman 89, Shadow, and Darkman all films that have their origins in The Shadow funny enough. Just find that X-Men releasing in 2000 just a few months before Unbreakable benefited it alot. I'll look into Atonement have not seen it.

Bryan Fritchie

I knew you'd like this one. 👍🏻

Mark Daniels

Please do complete the trilogy at some point and give a look at “The Village” - my favorite M. Night film.

My_Cousin_Mose

When I first saw The Village years ago I was really disappointed. I think the trailers led me to believe the movie was going to be a lot different than the movie we got. I watched it again a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. I could go for a reaction to that.

Maxoutkast

SLOW BURN. My favorite kind of film. 😊

Maxoutkast

I love how Bruce’s security guard jacket becomes a cape of sorts, once he accepts who he is.

Josh Segall

Great reaction! Another film that showcases Bruce's range is 12 Monkeys.

Wesley White

Great reaction Cassie, a shame you weren't able to hang out during the premiere I had a couple questions I wanted to ask you! Most important question I wanted to ask you is, I presume you and Carly are huge Harry Potter fans, so I'm curious to know, which Hogwarts house is your favorite and what is Carly's favorite! I ask this because I want to let you know that I won't be tuning in for your next YT edit premiere on Thursday, I'll be at Universal Studios with my close friends! While I'm there, I plan on getting you and Carly a special Harry Potter souvenir that I'll be sending to you come next livestream during Christmas time lol! Anyway, please let me know as soon as possible thank you so much! Unfortunately this isn't one of my favorites that Bruce Willis has done, I'm just not the biggest M. Night Shyamalan fan, so this movie is kinda like an acquired taste for me, sorry! But I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless, heck it was about time we finally got a good jump scare reaction in this year, I laughed hysterically at your jump scare lol! Hope you're doing well and having a great week so far, good luck next week, much love and support, you're the best and stay classy Cassie lol🥰😁😉👍🌹

Lamar Smith

Dearest Cassie, the observation of the ‘strange’ camera angle choices is, as I mentioned before, M. Night’s homage to Hitchcock. Also, for this movie, in particular, it’s also trying to make shots appear as if in a comic book. Look, especially, at the shot where Bruce Willis is in the water with the black tarp. This is an attempt to play up the hero’s weakness. Consider how, in Superman, kryptonite always is depicted as glowing malevolently green. There’s no actual reason this should be true. Kryptonite doesn’t actually need to glow to negatively affect Superman. It could just as easily be a gray powdery substance, let’s say, and still rob him of his powers. There’s an, I guess, equivalence: if Superman is so powerful then his weakness, his physical nemesis depicted in pictures must also look striking. Notice the way the water acting to weaken the hero looks so dissimilar to how you see water normally. It looks alive, evil, dark and powerful.

Chip MC

Would love for you to do a reaction to “The Village”. Another one of M. Night’s thrillers whose theme is centered around love.

David Conroy

M. Night "Shamamalam" (not how it's pronounced, but too much fun) blew everyone away with The Sixth Sense and back in the day mainstream audiences and critics were disappointed in his subsequent films for not being the same. But Unbreakable and Signs were still very good, and I liked The Village too if not as much. I agree with everyone saying you should watch the sequels, starting with Split, but bear in mind they aren't quite as good as dramas and Split was a surprise sequel - it came out many years later and the fact that the two stories are connected is a surprise reveal at the end of the film.

Hondo the Cat

PLEASE watch Split and Glass at the first opportunity. The sooner the better. Now you've watched Unbreakable I really, really want to see your reaction to the others.

Hondo the Cat

Why the Hell would you give information away about the ending of Split? Spoilers are about the worst thing you can do on this channel.

Mike LL

Cassie even says in the intro that she was aware that this movie is part of a trilogy, so nothing was really spoiled here. Cassie knew, and the trilogy was talked about in the comments of the full reaction and also during the YouTube premier.

WastedPo

In defense of the O.P.: Yes, my initial reaction was that it was a spoiler. But considering that Cassie already knows that Split is a follow-up, in a way she's already been spoiled. (And pretty much anyone who gets recommended this series will be similarly spoiled.) The only new info in the post was *when* the reveal happens. And honestly, I think in this case it could be helpful to know that the relationship between the two movies is mostly withheld from the audience. I've seen a reactor on Youtube who was basically preoccupied throughout Split because they were anticipating a more direct relationship with Unbreakable; it felt like they weren't appreciating what "Split" had to offer on its own. They just kept talking about Unbreakable.

Christopher Carr

Yes. Contemporary audiences were disappointed with the films immediately after 6th Sense. An interesting director ial behavior to watch are the actors that are repeatedly cast

Christopher Carr

Continued: Ron Howard is notorious for casting his brother and dad. His brother was a TV child actor from Gentle Ben fame and his Mom and Dad were Oklahoma University drama school grads, my acting almamata. Mel Gibson as a director used many of the same guys who could portray warriors in different centuries. However the biggest repeat use of supporting casts were in the studio system which, if we really got into you'd see a bunch of them. M. Night uses Cherry Jones a lot. Look for her you'll recognize her.

Stick Figure Studios

I like THE VILLAGE more than most people, but LADY IN THE WATER was where he started to lose me. Did not care for that one.

David Conroy

That was precisely why I mentioned it, WastedPo. And for all the critics here, I would never have done so if multiple people had not explicitly recommended the sequels in the comments under the full-length reaction.

Story Archer

While not everything he touched was a masterwork, I feel like Shamalayan was unfairly judged, in large part because he began his career with arguably his best film in the 6th Sense. Personally I find Lady in the Water to be enchanting and The Village remains one of my favorite complete films - the score alone is worth the price of admission. I'm still hoping to get Cassie & Carli to watch The Village come Halloween - an incredible love story pretending to be a horror film? It'd be right up their alley!

Mark James

Favorite Bruce Willis movie is RED

Matthew Dedman

Next scary movie poll can you please add "as above so below" best scary movie imo

Julien

I have never seen a director more unfairly judged. It's wild. The guy has made at least two masterpieces and a couple of other good movies. I remember back in 2002 or so, he was on the cover of Time magazine as "The Next Spielberg" (which even at the time I thought silly - Hitchcock was a much better comparison for his work at the time). But now people act like he is the worst director in the world because he's also made some bad or forgettable stuff. As if his latter work somehow undoes his early triumphs. It's really weird. Most directors will never make anything approaching the brilliance of the Sixth Sense. That alone firmly establishes him as one of the contemporary greats in my book.

Padraig Glennon

Favorite Bruce Willis movie? Hudson Hawk (1991) silly cat-burglar movie. I liked it anyway. 😋

Jim Finley

What kind of monster would steal people's cats? The horror! The horror . . .
