Unbreakable (2000)
Written and directed by the Indian born Manoj Night Shyamalan, Unbreakable hit the theaters in 2000. As a director this was his fourth film.
Within the first 10 minutes, it gets you involved after the lead character played by Bruce Willis survives a major train crash. He not only survives out of 130 odd passengers, but doesn’t even suffer a single scratch. He starts a journey to find if he could be a superhuman.
But, I find it hard to accept that one would be so memory-bad to ask someone “how many sick days I have taken?”. Would you not remember that you never had a single headache in your life?
I am yet to watch Lady in the water and The Happening of Shyamalan’s. Excluding these two in the list, I would say The Village was Shyamalan’s perfect followed by The Sixth Sense and Signs in no order.
Another striking feature of the film is its music.One of the best among shyamalan-J N Howard combination.
ReplyDeleteYup..James Newton Howard does it regularly in all his films. It's strange that such a dominant and successful composer has not awarded an Oscar while out great did a clean sweep of 2 out 2.
