and on the three captives

With unbreakable the two innocents(the children) survive while the older woman dies.

With split the two unsullied(or carefree and more innocent) die while the sullied(has trauma and went through more shit than the others) survives the ordeal

I'm currently making a documentary about his career. Kinda analyzing all the different reasons his films became so horridly received after Signs and by extension discussing how films in general are received.

IMO all the praise from The Sixth Sense got to his head or at least got to his writing talents. Another thought is that before he made The Sixth Sense he had to prove himself, so he really put his all into making a quality movie and once that payed off he might've gotten complacent, which would also explain why his last two films are pretty good relative to his filmography he kinda has to prove himself again.

yeah... but he should stop writing his movies imo. he should just get a good script and direct it, he could make 10/10 movies.

writer/director faggots are so pretentious. they need to get over it. nobody cares if you've written your movie if it's a crock of shit. just get a good script (which you can obviously edit to your liking - although in M Night's case I'd hope not too much) and use your directorial talents to make a great film. or write the script yourself but base it on a good book.

I don't think this fag is ever gonna be able to accept that he can't come up with good stories. I didn't think Signs and Unbreakable were all that good 2bh. Sixth Sense was decent (my sister guessed the 'twist' from the trailer btw). he needs to get over his 'twist' gimmick, too, of course.

gotta say he did 10/10 work to get the girls in those skimpy outfits throughout Split tho.

I thought Split was pretty good.

What's the point to this long ass post?

>>84339133
He's for sure a better director than writer, we already know he can't adapt though because of the last airbender but it would be really interesting to see him just direct and not touch the script.

>>84338364
Op didn't understand split. Go watch it again dumb fuck

I didn't like the editing of his last two.
Maybe it was the poor quality of the cinematography (I know budget) but something was off in both.

>>84339404
oh shit i just finished marathoning it lol

I recognised that ending music from unbreakable, and then there it was

WAHT A TWIST

alright that's pretty cool i guess kek

>>84339638
those final lines and how bad their delivery and acting were was fucking nolan tier. literally spelling it out for the audience because the director is assuming they're fucking retarded, while directing it ridiculously poorly at the same time

I just thought that this movie was Filth 2: Electric boogaloo, and the twist was that it was unbreakable 2: dawn of shaylaman cinematic universe
this movie is not bad by any means, 6/10

what did she mean by this?

>>84340140
but the academy awards are a meme
they just award whatever it is in their liberal agenda

>>84339569
maybe i'm looking into it too much but Unbreakable is my favourite film, partly because of the confident use of long takes and striking cinematography, when i heard Split was getting the same DP as It Follows it made me a lot more excited to see it, while Split did look nice it had almost none of the series of long takes Unbreakable was built on but the diner scene only has one cut, maybe it signified going back to that style for Glass, i hope so.

>>84340140
Who knows, depends on whether she's an alt right or liberal type SJW. If she's the former, she's probably talking about how there's a black character. If she's the latter variety, she's probably talking about how the females are physically weak.

>>84340207
They don't, liberals and conservatives cry about the Oscars every year because of [agenda opposite mine]. You're an idiot, like all people who enjoy politics and crying.

>>84340717
>when i heard Split was getting the same double penetration as It Follows
?????????

>>84339191
I did as well. Definitely his best movie in a while too

>>84338364
Split was ok, people claim it's kino, but it's not even above a 5.0/10

>>84340879
not better than Don't Breathe.

>>84340981
Don't Breathe isn't a Shyamdingdong film

>>84339909
the movie technically came out in 2017, way after oscar noms closed (plus the oscars were for 2016 anyways)

>>84340140
lol this girl is mentally challenged, they have award shows for british movies too either way, plus Split didnt come out until 2017

>>84340844
not op but the cinematographer from It Follows also did Split

This scene alone is worthy of an Oscar, Golden Globe and a nobel peace prize

>>84341263
true tbch, isn't it supposed to represent like a zombie or some shit? that something I always liked about some of Shymalan's movies, he has lots of symbolism and metaphors in them
