David was a heart-wrenching death. Kevin was too. Mr. Glass kind of felt like a hero at the end of the movie. 10,000 years and he’s still the first one to trick and outsmart the Black Clover Society.
I too believe that Elijah became the hero at the end if the movie. Check out this quote that I pulled from Unbreakable. It's the scene when he's talking to Audrey, David's wife. "These are mediocre times Mrs. Dunn. People are starting to lose hope. It's hard for many to believe there are extraordinary things inside themselves and others."
Fuckin' Delilah being the downfall of Samson, or the war over Helen of Troy, ending up Achilles's last stand. Hercules was also brought down, first by Hera, then by madness. 10,000 years of suppressing people with Demi-God like abilities, would be in line with many of the heroes in mythology falling.
But it's *not* meant to be a superhero movie. It's what superheroes would be if they existed in the real world, if comics were dramaticized accounts of real events, or at least based on real events. Real fights aren't often very long or dramatic. Just how it is.
I have a hard time believing anyone who has seen the first 2 movies in this franchise could have expected a " run of the mill" superhero movie? I challenge you to bring them forth.
M nights grounded superhero trilogy is flat out poetic in every way; this man should be very proud of what he had accomplished from unbreakable to glass, everything has come full circle. If Night was in my presence right now, I would shake his hand because I and many others appreciate the stories he tells because of their deeper meanings and there’s always people shitting on him because of societies’ set expectations when it comes to shattering the *glass* to take risks, but that doesn’t mean every other superhero movie should be condemned, if it’s great it should be rewarded of its success but, m. Night has taught be that nobody should be afraid to take risks because something very poetic could come out the other side.
We were all wrong.. We missed the ultimate twist... David was not Elijahs opposite.. It was Kevin.. Elijah = Strong Mind; Broken Body Kevin = Broken Mind; Strong Body Kevin is the exact opposite of Elijah.. David is the "anomaly" he is the balancing force.. And technically Elijah also created/turned Kevin in the Beast...
Yeah but David and Glass are still opposites as well, Glass’s greatest weakness is his bones, they are as fragile as can be and can break from a touch and Dunn’s greatest strength is his bones are literally unbreakable
Try _this_ on for size: When everyone considers the title _Unbreakable,_ they always point to David's unbreakable body versus Elijah's fragile one. But Dr. Staple was able to cause David and several of Kevin's alters - including _Patricia and Dennis, the founding members of The Horde,_ to doubt the veracity of their metahuman abilities. The only person she never got to for a moment was Elijah. She wasn't able to _break_ Elijah. Who's "unbreakable" *_now???_*
WakenerOne I mean that’s an interesting theory but the movie is called unbreakable because David’s bones are literally unbreakable. Also you said they never got to Elijah for a moment or made him doubt himself. That’s false. He admits himself at the end of the movie that they almost had him convinced he was crazy. After David’s son tells the beast the truth about his fathers death, mr glass says “don’t you see I created you, it just took a little longer. 19 years, they almost had me convinced I was crazy” and you can see the way he cracks up with a smile and tears because even he began to doubt himself.
Well... It's fked up... The reasons comics exists is to take you away from reality. He should have given a comic book ending to the story. Since the theme of the movie is that.
@@mr.b3168 If that's the case then it should have ended that way in between... Are they dead... Are they alive.. Who knows... Instead we got a firm death and thats definitely not staying in between fantasy and reality like you suggested.
I do wish you had pointed out how the supporting characters all have heroic moments entirely in keeping with their attitudes throughout the whole series. Mrs. Price (who does a perfect job showing that though she is horrified by what her son has done, still loves him) is clearly key in figuring out Elijah's plan and getting it to Casey and Joseph. Casey shows that she is immune to the power of The Beast and seeks him out - not to hurt the Beast or his Horde, but to once and for all do what they could not. She does not protect Kevin, she strengthens him, just as he strengthened her. And Joseph . . . what can I say? How many people missed this??? In Unbreakable, he tries to stand up to bullies messing with a schoolmate. He realizes that he's not like his dad; he has no super powers. He resigns himself to being the sidekick, the voice in the hero's ear. But in the climactic battle between the gods among us, what does he do? _He jumps, _*_without hesitation,_*_ between The Beast and The Overseer, even though the Beast can squash him like a fly, and he turns the tide of the battle._ Even Elijah recognizes that it derails his plan. The ordinary boy who couldn't protect his schoolmate because he's "not like" his father now steps in to protect superheroes.
"The voice in the heroes ear.." I thought this as well when I saw the scene where Joseph was reading the comic book titled The Whisperer. This might be foreshadowing that his superpower might be voice related. Also Caseys superpower might be healing (love) as her scenes often focuses on her hands.
wow. it sounds like they are the surviving reflections of the 3 men: Mrs. price/Elijah, Casey/Kevin, Joseph/David. I'm sure M. Night wanted to add that element that ordinary people (like his character Jai) are capable of heroic acts too. oh! and clover society are the contrast.
Does anyone else think Mrs. Price becomes a villain in this movie, the same way that Elijah remains one? He has the same callous attitude towards the lives of innocent bystanders in this movie, just as in last one, where we are told that comic book villains are drawn with eyes reflecting their skewed outlook. I`m all for mothers always being there for their kids, esp one as unfortunate as Elijah, but the lack of inclination to steer him away from obvious evil just feels very disturbing.
Sentry man vs jaguaro. Ive always wondered when in unbreakable Elijah mentions comics being a form of history retold and jazzed up that this comic - which seemed to predict the meeting of David Dunn and the beast - I wondered if it meant that maybe there's also a superhuman out there who could predict the future and they painted it and sold it as comics, because that comic came out decades before they met and its so symbolic of that event in glass and with that earlier monologue about a secret history....maybe the same person wrote the comic that Elijah was reading that showed the beasts attack on Casey. Maybe they had more evolved version of David's intuition ability.
Years from now, when everyone has finally realized the scope of what was created, it will be put in the masterpiece category. The end was fitting and tied up all the loose ends of each story while dangling a thread of what could become an eventual hero verse. M. Night certainly left that open while ensuring that he would not go back to these particular characters.
I noticed when we first see Elijah, I think he really is sedated, he's twitching his right eye, but every scene after that, his twitching is mirrored to the opposite side of his face. It was a good hint to me he'd been faking pretty quick. I'm in love with this trilogy, really love all the hints you can pick out, thanks for the awesome videos!
Katie McHenry no he was not sedated for quite a while, especially not when we first see him. He shows his stash of the pills they had been giving him, he had quite a lot
@@johnnybravo8129 I guess I assumed he dumped whole bottles in there, and that was why they found him by the meds in the hall. I only saw it once in theaters, I'm really curious to figure out the reason why he was out in the hall then.
Katie McHenry I only saw the movie once too but he was switching each pill with an Advil at the time they would give him his medication so each one of those pills in the wheelchair arm was stashed at separate times. He told the horde how he would just use sleight of hand every time he had to take his meds.
@@johnnybravo8129 Yeah, I did remember that thing about the slight of hand after I commented, whoops. I'm really curious and want to hear theories on the point of the scene where he's caught in the hall, right next to the meds. That little set of drawers and the paperwork is what nurses wheel around to pass out meds, so I assumed he was doped up so much that he couldnt rush back to his room, but smart enough to mess with the meds without getting caught. Now that doesn't really make sense, but the director is notorious for everything having a reason, so I wonder what that was all about.
Katie McHenry he was out in the hallway because he wanted the cameras to see him so that they would perform the surgery sooner and think he was lobotomized. You don’t remember Dr. staple wakes him up and then they inject him with the sedative and she tells him how she caught him on the camera sneaking out his room.
The black clover is actually the Shamrock herb, native to Ireland, green though of course and taken by Irish St. Patrick as a symbol of the holy trinity. The Irish are also famous for their red hair...a feature of Dr. Staple. I would say the society is a Roman Catholic religious society that originated in Ireland, believing as you said that no gods should walk among us. This is the reason the number 3 is so common in the movie. The whole quest is symbolic of holy trinity vs. three superhumans.
I thought about the three leaves vs the fact that there are three heroes but then I had a vision of the comments telling me "this is a stretch" so I left it out. Guess I shouldn't have!
Did anybody notice at the end of this movie how when Elijah price is mother , Joseph and Casey are all in the train station in the background you can see a statue of an avenging angel... This is what mr. Glass calls the beast (AKA Kevin Wendell crumb)
The Clover Society's belief that the result of a superhero finding their opposite leading to disaster, is very similar to particle physics. Each particle has s corresponding antiparticle, which have equal masses but opposite charge, and when a particle collides with it's corresponding antiparticle, annihilation occurs, which releases energy. The point is, this is what the Clover Society fears most
I wanted to be mad at Ellie (and the organization) but I understood the point of view. I love that I had to think about it and I was like "that actually makes a lot of sense". Elijah ultimately wasn't intending to blow up that building but we can't forget he's a mass murderer. "Grounded" is a word thrown around a lot in describing this trilogy. The reason this group existed was grounded.
I wonder if they allow supers to live if they decide to stay out of the public eye. I felt it was unfair that they killed David the way they did. But the ending was going for realism so I can see why it ended up that way.
@@mish375 I don't think so. She said if they're not convinced the next step is, more or less, some sort of lobotomy (the machine). I felt at the end, because of what Ellie believed was the plan, she felt it was justified - one appears and then the opposite appears and it escalates to catastrophe. She believed they just evaded the murder of thousands of people. I've said this elsewhere, like with any organization in a movie, I feel there are more centrists people (well meaning but mission oriented) and more extreme people (evil). So if this was to go forward....
@@mish375 I think they let David go unnoticed for 20 years coz he did vigilante stuff and never went to "superheroic levels" once he and the beast are tossing soldiers around and flipping cars and bending steel they step in with the kill. Usually I think Dr staple tries to make the supers think they're just crazy but if they refuse she has to kill them
@@Tbone.357 And yet, somehow you found your way here. Why would you waste another 17 minutes of your life over a movie you thought was terrible? Credibility much
@@Joe-uj8vgthis movie was very bad and I was super excited about it. I had been wanting an unbreakable sequel since the first time I watched it and went through the roof when I saw the end of split. Left glass scratching my head because I didn't want to hate it, but yup... Bad, bad movie.
The beast's signature death grip is very similar to the constriction of a python 🤔 the more the person breathes out, the tighter the hold can get.... scary..
This movie will have the Unbreakable 'effect'. People are going to be divided as they are now. Glass will have an intense following like Unbreakable did. The movie will fade and be talked about outside of mainstream circles and be appreciated for its artistic value. When it is no longer cliche or 'hip' to bash Shamaylan the movie will get the credit it deserves. I've stopped caring about critics with TFA. I hated that movie for it's lack of vision and still do, so I see no need to consult them to validate my opinion. Thank you for the analysis.
I never understood why people need to learn other people's opinion to get their opinion. Just enjoy your own opinion and that's it. Sure you can learn from others from their critics, but ultimately who cares about some famous person's opinion. I enjoyed tons of movies the critics hated, and hated a lot that critics adored.
I wonder if there are any Black Clovers in Unbreakable or Split? Nobody was looking for those before. Also, did Osaka tower feel like a soft reference to Die Hard? I thought of Die Hard like immediately.
My first thought when she started trying to make him doubt : "oh yeah ? Then why did you bother setting up that very complex water defense system in my room huh ?" That's a writing weak point of the movie actually : because of that I never doubted for a second and I knew she was lying. I think to be really great Glass should have made us doubt with its characters. Still great on other aspects though.
@@AanoMakesMusic I think she only set up the water because David believed water was his weakness. It was a way of keeping him complacent if he started getting out of hand. If he didn't have powers, he would still believe the water water was weakening him.
@@elbrew2223 If he was a simple human, then keeping him enclosed in that room with such a high level of security would be enough to contain him. The only explanation for the presence of that water tank is that she knows he really has powers, and anyone would have deduced that she's full of shit. I wouldn't have been fooled.
@@AanoMakesMusic I suppose she could have explained it as not wanting him to hurt himself trying to get out, so she makes him believe he couldn't get out whether he has powers or not. but you have a good point.
I never had deeper thoughts about the water system. I did notice how David was the only one chained and not the beast, but for the beast they did have the flashing lights. But now that i think of it, even this is proof that they know how to contain his powers as well. And the chains on David could have been simple hand and feet cuffs if he was just an ordinary man. Damn M. Knight is a genius
Glass was such an amazing movie and despite getting a lot of things that are mentioned in here I also missed some details such as the staples meaning. Amazing eyes you have.
Loved this analysis!! ! I like that there’s also a hint that David was bound to eventually get in the water tank because of the green cape it had on top, green being his color; just like in Unbreakable, when he was pushed into the pool. The colors are really bold in this movie and give you a lot of clues as well as the camera angles. In my opinion it was a great movie with an emotional ending, making you sympathize even for the villains, specially The Horde.
I don’t know if you’ll see this but you and this channel are a genius, this was one of the most more impressive videos I’ve watched, thanks for explaining what so much of us are just to lazy to see
Dude you F'n NAILED it bro. Seriously, I've been trying to analyze it since seeing it in theaters but without being able to watch it over and over like fifty times, all I see are the same details replaying in my head. Obviously I am able to watch the first two so I have been but without the third to bounce things off of, I'm not able to piece this stuff together. Thanks for the great video
Well think back, her going thru and Elijah’s birth and then finding out his body was broken she became broken as well, they could of both been evil Geniuses and SHE actually came up with the terrorist idea of targeting the plane train and building to root out other “evolved” people no matter the # of sacrifices. THAT would of floored people esp if she grabbed David’s hand smiling and knowing he could see glimpses of wrong doings and uploaded all of them in flash backs to Unbroken, grooming Elijah like an apprentice since a kid to now
I watched your Unbreakable and Split videos last week to help me get lined up for Glass. They were excellent. I too enjoyed this assessment and analysis of Glass. Just wanted to you excellent job. Nice editing, cut scenes, etc. Two Thumbs Up!
A couple other things I noticed when watching Glass is that a lot of the vernacular used throughout the film is "amazing", "fantastic", "marvelous". A lot of the same words used when describing superheroes ("The Amazing Spiderman, etc.") Another thing I found interesting is that the date 1874 was used twice throughout the film, once when David Dunn is entering his own house and another time it's brought up by the psychologist. I'm not sure if this date has any specific relevance or not, it could be eluding to the date the first zoo in the U.S. opened (coincidentally the Philadelphia Zoo). I'm sure there's more symbolism dispersed throughout the film but hats off to Shyamalan for a great film overall, the critics online are being too ridiculous lol.
@@CZsWorld that's why he says triggered them see there past down and davids power's aren't that strong so it'd probably take awhile for his son's to bloom
@@jj56067 That's not how it worked for David though -- unless Joseph's powers are going to take after The Horde. I kind of like the fact that the powers aren't hereditary though.
They didn't understand the movie well i think, or the whole series for a fact. Most people just took all these movies at face value and were like, meeh, it sucks. When they missed a ton of clever stuff cover in this video for example
the last scene where elijah's mom holds both casey and joseth's hands was one of my favorite scenes.cz the way they were seated made it amost feel like she was their mother or god and that kinda represents elijah cz he was possibly David and kevin's god since he created them. This movie is absoulutly beautiful and by far my favorite movie of all time.
No one noticed that Kevin‘s dad was reading a D.I.D book well on the train. So does that mean Kevin’s dad already knew what his son had? That’s why he left? I’m surprised no one has mentioned this
Pred because it was explained in the movie......it wasn’t something no one noticed lmao David’s son clearly explains to the beast how Kevin’s dad didn’t just get on a train to never come back. He got on the train to go find a place where he could get his wife help. The D.I.D book was to show us that he cared and was trying to find help, instead he was killed in the train accident caused by mr glass. Then mr glass explains how if he never destroyed the train then Kevin’s dad would’ve never died and left Kevin behind with his psycho abusive mother thus leading to Kevin’s suffering creating the beast. It was explained in the movie so it’s not really considered something that one would miss
*Another Thing that we missed, At the end when **Mr.Glass** get punched in chest by the beast, you can hear a Breaking glass Sound.. that need to mean something*
This vid is truly a great job! Thank you for it!!! But there was one more comics reference: the last time we saw TV screen with Osaka Tower, there were subtitles saying "D.C. pays respect" or smth. (Big fat reference to D.C. Comics !) OMG I just love it
It's interesting that Elijah's first comic was the Protector in green versus The Orange Beast with the caption "Limited Edition." But at the End of Glass Elijah told his mother "it's not a limited edition it's an origin story." This was his first ever comic and the origin of his belief. Craziness.....
that scene when u see mr glass as a kid at the theme park and he gets on that ride was actually a deleted scene from unbreakable and it was the scene that took the most amount of effort.
People have gotten used to Marvel movies and then something artistic comes out and people crap all over it. Great trilogy, one you can watch over and over again and still find something new. Now that's movie making!
*Great analysis vid again on this trilogy Mr. CZ! Just got out of Mr. Glass...my 2nd viewing, and I really dig the film even more than my first watch - LOVE the score, loved the use of deleted scenes from Unbreakable, I think Kasey is "special" too (touching calmness is her power maybe?), loved the camera work, and my new fave revealed Team Horde member was Mr. Pritchard film history professor (specifically Japanese cinema 1950 to 1980 lol)...anyway I just really dug how this trilogy finished, it was in line with the world Unbreakable set-up way back when in 2000, it gave the audience some of the genre expectations having been "trained" via the SH genre film boom post Unbreakable, and the subversive choices M. Night used for this Mr. Glass Endgame story & the main characters worked well, and McAvoy is just so great as The Horde again!
I believe Glass was the actual protagonist of the story. The secret society was responsible for 10,000 years of genocide against gifted humans. Elijah sacraficed himself to save them. A true mastermind.
Did anyone notice in this video towards the end when young MR. Glass goes outside to get the comic. The comic shows a hero in green fighting a man that looks like a beast.
I would say that Mr. Glass's opposite is Dr.Staple. A staple is strong and resilient it binds things together. Glass fractures and severs it's delicate. Mr. Glass has the iconic part in his fro on his right and Dr.Staple has a part on her left. She's dedicated to getting rid of superheroes he wants to make more of them.
When Joseph finds the comic that leads him to look into Kevin’s parents it’s called something like “The Whisperer” which I think is a nod to Dr. Staple.
16:47 The color scheme was foreshadowed in the first movie- David is green, Kevin is yellow and Elijah is purple. The comic book cover also hinted the final showdown between David and Kevin. Also the concept of a “limited edition” comic was mentioned several times in Glass.
@@CZsWorld I have to disagree. You obviously get a lot of comments, so if you haven't seen any of mine, it's understandable. But in your other videos, you never discuss the importance of _red_ in these films. In the special features of _Unbreakable,_ Night didn't even _talk_ about the importance of purple and green other than to say that he wanted to stay away from primary colors being associated with the heroes. But he talks a LOT about red . . . and you _don't._ Moreover, let's consider the primary/secondary colors thing. Though there are exceptions (the Thing, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, The Spectre), most heroic characters - especially early ones have their costumes themed around primary colors (Superman, Captain Marvel, Captain America, The Angel (not the X-man . . . but the X-Men, too), The Atom. I could go on. Antiheroes (The Incredible Hulk comes immediately to mind) and villains often have their costumes designed around secondary colors. How many of Spider-man's rogues gallery wear green, or green and purple? Galactus. Lex Luthor, before the Byrne reboot. The Mandarin. Doctor Doom. The Joker. Shyamalan deliberately chose to reverse this trope when he made his main characters be associated with secondary colors. You may say, "But Glass is a _villain!"_ True. But we didn't *_know_* he was a villain until the end of the movie. We were encouraged the whole time to think that he was the mentor. Now, along comes The Beast, and _his_ color is a _primary_ rather than a secondary. Night has reversed the chromatic trope completely. You don't go into that.
@@WakenerOne Good thinking -- I think I've subconsciously noticed that Green and Purple are somewhat unorthodox choices for the two main characters. It's very similar to how he chose unorthodox character archetypes for The Happening. You'd expect an action bulky hero and a busty girl in that type of film, and instead he uses a science teacher and while Zooey Deschanel is very lovely, she's more of the cute nerdy type. I think there are other examples in his filmography where he deliberately went against the status quo.
@@CZsWorld Oh, absolutely! A clergyman as the main character in an alien invasion film??? A film where the town leaders openly admit several times that they are cowards, and it's the next generation who shows the courage that the elders wish they had (not to mention it being a film wherein *every* young person, _without exception, _*_always_* shows proper respect for his or her elders?!?!?) Pretty much *everything* about _The Sixth Sense!_ Night lives outside the box.
There were elements in 'Glass' that came from other films: 'Die Hard' starring Bruce Willis as John McClane a police officer (guardian) running around with no shirt and shoes, hiding in the ceiling dropping down to kill, like the beast. He even spends time talking to himself throughout the film like the horde. The final battle takes place on top of Nakatomi Plaza, a fictional location in L.A. but it is a real research center located in Osaka Japan. The final battle in 'Glass' was to take place on top of the Osaka tower a fictional location in Philadelphia. I noticed other things like recreated shots from 'The Sixth Sense' in 'Split' and 'Glass'.
I just watched Glass yesterday and really liked it. I have been watching all the "things you missed" videos. One thing I noticed, that no one else has pointed out is in the need for David and Kevin's "kryptonites" in the mental hospital. If they truly believed David was a normal human being, the need for the water jets and the steel door was completely unnecessary. A normal human being wouldnt be able to escape their room. The same goes for the lights in Kevin's room. What doesnt make sense, is the fact they knew the lights could suppress The Beast, yet they didnt feel it necessary for a steel door, just in case.
It’s cool that David’s stuffed animals in the tilt o’ whirl looks like the same colors as the beast was wearing, when he was trying to protect him in the basement of the hospital.
I wonder if their will be more superhero/villain movies by M. Night, considering Glass was explaining to Patricia the concept of the strongman being from the 1930s. Surely he didn't know he was a super, but a freak instead, and just maybe by Elijah reavealing them to the world for the first time sets perspective for DDs character and lots more characters to come.
In the comic book store when it shows ‘villains’ a purple and green light is shown. Purple is for Elijah but green is for David. The green light is just to the side of this shot which could imply that, whilst he doesn’t see himself as a villain, perhaps others do?
This movie gets better when you actually think about it. I had to see it a second time and it was a much better viewing experience. As usual, Shyalaman put more thought into this then I could understand upfront.
As David walks into his apartment and turns on the tv it starts talking about the new opening of the tower. Another foreshadowing for later of glasses false plans for the tower
You missed something. When Dr Staple introduces herself to David, she talks about how her expertise is dealing with people that believe themselves to be super human. She says "it is a growing field." This says that the Black Clover organization is expanding through several universities.
There's the use of colours for each of the 3 main characters. NOTE: Elijah is represented by the colour PURPLE. In the flashbacks and in the past movies, for example when a young Elijah opens up the comic book , it's wrapped in purple. When Elijah is older he's always in some shade of purple. Even in the room where all 3 are gathered for their 'psychiatric' evaluation, Elijah is wrapped in a purple blanket, he's also the VILLAIN. When David's son enters the comic book store, notice in the back of the that VILLAINS are highlighted in PURPLE. Where as the HERO'S are GREEN. When we see David character going out and doing his vigilante justice he's always wearing a GREEN raincoat. When him and his son (the character who played his son was brought back from UNBREAKABLE) when they are working they are always wearing GREEN. As if to say we're the good guys. When all 3 are gathered for their 'psychiatric' evaluation, David's wearing a worn out Green garments. Another foreshadow, that David's time is near. Also, note in the flashback, when young Elijah opens up his comic book from its purple wrapping on the cover you see the HERO and the animal like creature on the cover. This is a reference to David in GREEN the HERO and BEAST in ORANGE. Just like KEVIN and the HORDE. This is also a reference to the real life story that Elijah will soon find himself in, a clever piece of foreshadowing. As for the HORDE, because of his animalistic and BEAST like alter ego, he's always represented by a ORANGE colour. Note in the movie SPLIT, how most of the time he was surrounded by yellow and orange haze of the lights. Also, wore some shade of ORANGE clothing. When ever you see his character he always has some shade of ORANGE on his clothing. Note when the 3 are gathered for their 'psychiatric' evaluation Kevin and the HORDE are dressed in ORANGEY-YELLOW garments. Who knew that COLOURS have so much symbolic meanings in movies? 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😆
In the scene where Dr. Staple has a group therapy with Elijah, Kevin, and David, each in their signature colors, she is wearing PINK, and the entire room they are meeting in is bathed in PINK light, suggesting that the three men are under her power.
The success of a movie/moviemaker...is not the numbers it make in box office....it’s all about challenging viewers mind....people have discussed...still discussing..and will discuss abt it for years to come.....that’s the achievement for a true filmmaker...
After seeing the movie again last night, that bit where you mentioned the allies graffiti, the window on the building also has "END" on it. I missed this cause i was looking at david the first time haha
The three leaf clover could be interpreted as the Clubs Sign in the Deck of Cards. The Clubs represents the sign for war, and because there are three leaf in a Clover Leaf, it represents Mr. Glass, Unbreakable, and split going to war with each other to the end.
plus i love that peoples 1st introduction to superheroes in the real world is footage of a man lifting a car over his head. parallels 1st issue of action comics that introduced Superman to the world. has him lifting a car over his head
The inspiration of the movie is so real!! we are all gods, but the illus don't want us to know it... but I'm pretty sure their end is near. That's for me the best part!

David was a heart-wrenching death. Kevin was too. Mr. Glass kind of felt like a hero at the end of the movie. 10,000 years and he’s still the first one to trick and outsmart the Black Clover Society.
Remember the best villains think they are also doing the right thing.
@@PaucHdelRosario But who is doing the right thing? Who decides who is the villlian?
This is Mr. Glass's movie
I too believe that Elijah became the hero at the end if the movie. Check out this quote that I pulled from Unbreakable. It's the scene when he's talking to Audrey, David's wife. "These are mediocre times Mrs. Dunn. People are starting to lose hope. It's hard for many to believe there are extraordinary things inside themselves and others."
Fuckin' Delilah being the downfall of Samson, or the war over Helen of Troy, ending up Achilles's last stand.
Hercules was also brought down, first by Hera, then by madness.
10,000 years of suppressing people with Demi-God like abilities, would be in line with many of the heroes in mythology falling.
My favorite line:
*Gasp* “Do you like Kevin now??!!!!”
🤣🤣
Kira Vega “Drake’s my new main man”.
*Everyones favorite line lol
Mine was when Kevin was crying then he switched to hedwig and he saud " Is he crying? Pussy"
Me too 😂 or when he look the camera in the room
Excellent. Someone who actually watch 'Glass' not expecting a run-of-the-mill Marvel movie.
It’s meant to be a comic book movie ? It’s all you can expect just didn’t have the amazing fights sadly
But it's *not* meant to be a superhero movie. It's what superheroes would be if they existed in the real world, if comics were dramaticized accounts of real events, or at least based on real events. Real fights aren't often very long or dramatic. Just how it is.
@@jmggimli It's an unconventional superhero movie about comic books and superheroes
I have a hard time believing anyone who has seen the first 2 movies in this franchise could have expected a " run of the mill" superhero movie? I challenge you to bring them forth.
@@PsychoToasty Read some of the negative reviews; people were expecting some in the Marvel mold.
M nights grounded superhero trilogy is flat out poetic in every way; this man should be very proud of what he had accomplished from unbreakable to glass, everything has come full circle. If Night was in my presence right now, I would shake his hand because I and many others appreciate the stories he tells because of their deeper meanings and there’s always people shitting on him because of societies’ set expectations when it comes to shattering the *glass* to take risks, but that doesn’t mean every other superhero movie should be condemned, if it’s great it should be rewarded of its success but, m. Night has taught be that nobody should be afraid to take risks because something very poetic could come out the other side.
Donovan Martin it’s not that deep...
Nicely said Martin. M.Night is a master storyteller.
Nicely said I agree
Bennett Witcher it really is - you can always look for deeper meaning in the greatest films such as this one.
We were all wrong.. We missed the ultimate twist... David was not Elijahs opposite.. It was Kevin..
Elijah = Strong Mind; Broken Body
Kevin = Broken Mind; Strong Body
Kevin is the exact opposite of Elijah.. David is the "anomaly" he is the balancing force.. And technically Elijah also created/turned Kevin in the Beast...
Dont forget in Unbreakale Elijah's mom said there's 2 villains. One that fights the hero with his mind and the other with his hands.
rupman27isback perhaps for each hero (David) there needs to be a Soldier Villain (The Horde) and an Arch-Enemy (Mr Glass)
Yeah but David and Glass are still opposites as well, Glass’s greatest weakness is his bones, they are as fragile as can be and can break from a touch and Dunn’s greatest strength is his bones are literally unbreakable
Try _this_ on for size: When everyone considers the title _Unbreakable,_ they always point to David's unbreakable body versus Elijah's fragile one. But Dr. Staple was able to cause David and several of Kevin's alters - including _Patricia and Dennis, the founding members of The Horde,_ to doubt the veracity of their metahuman abilities. The only person she never got to for a moment was Elijah.
She wasn't able to _break_ Elijah.
Who's "unbreakable" *_now???_*
WakenerOne I mean that’s an interesting theory but the movie is called unbreakable because David’s bones are literally unbreakable. Also you said they never got to Elijah for a moment or made him doubt himself. That’s false. He admits himself at the end of the movie that they almost had him convinced he was crazy. After David’s son tells the beast the truth about his fathers death, mr glass says “don’t you see I created you, it just took a little longer. 19 years, they almost had me convinced I was crazy” and you can see the way he cracks up with a smile and tears because even he began to doubt himself.
People are so conditioned to expect a cliche ending that when they saw this break away from that formula they automatically judged this badly.
Exactly!
I still can't believe the ending but it was fitting. I enjoyed it so much!
Well... It's fked up...
The reasons comics exists is to take you away from reality.
He should have given a comic book ending to the story. Since the theme of the movie is that.
@@kaister901 nah. But the whole idea of this universe is to stay between the line of fantasy and reality.
@@mr.b3168 If that's the case then it should have ended that way in between... Are they dead... Are they alive.. Who knows...
Instead we got a firm death and thats definitely not staying in between fantasy and reality like you suggested.
I do wish you had pointed out how the supporting characters all have heroic moments entirely in keeping with their attitudes throughout the whole series. Mrs. Price (who does a perfect job showing that though she is horrified by what her son has done, still loves him) is clearly key in figuring out Elijah's plan and getting it to Casey and Joseph. Casey shows that she is immune to the power of The Beast and seeks him out - not to hurt the Beast or his Horde, but to once and for all do what they could not. She does not protect Kevin, she strengthens him, just as he strengthened her. And Joseph . . . what can I say? How many people missed this??? In Unbreakable, he tries to stand up to bullies messing with a schoolmate. He realizes that he's not like his dad; he has no super powers. He resigns himself to being the sidekick, the voice in the hero's ear. But in the climactic battle between the gods among us, what does he do? _He jumps, _*_without hesitation,_*_ between The Beast and The Overseer, even though the Beast can squash him like a fly, and he turns the tide of the battle._ Even Elijah recognizes that it derails his plan. The ordinary boy who couldn't protect his schoolmate because he's "not like" his father now steps in to protect superheroes.
"The voice in the heroes ear.." I thought this as well when I saw the scene where Joseph was reading the comic book titled The Whisperer. This might be foreshadowing that his superpower might be voice related. Also Caseys superpower might be healing (love) as her scenes often focuses on her hands.
wow. it sounds like they are the surviving reflections of the 3 men: Mrs. price/Elijah, Casey/Kevin, Joseph/David. I'm sure M. Night wanted to add that element that ordinary people (like his character Jai) are capable of heroic acts too. oh! and clover society are the contrast.
I always felt like if David is superman, his son could be batman. A badass normal.
Does anyone else think Mrs. Price becomes a villain in this movie, the same way that Elijah remains one? He has the same callous attitude towards the lives of innocent bystanders in this movie, just as in last one, where we are told that comic book villains are drawn with eyes reflecting their skewed outlook. I`m all for mothers always being there for their kids, esp one as unfortunate as Elijah, but the lack of inclination to steer him away from obvious evil just feels very disturbing.
At the end Casey was wearing yellow joeseph was wearing green and Mrs price was wearing purple
I noticed that as well
@@arcanewarrior863 great movie
I got emotional when they held hands
They were wearing those colors throughout the movie
Purushotham Ranoji no they weren't
Plot twist.... The streamed video dr glass made was flagged and copyrighted striked on RUclips lol
YoungBlaze
On Facebook, then.
Or on the Dark Web.
YoungBlaze lol
RUclips is apart of the secret society.
Nah the comments section of mr glass' vids would just be filled with "fake" "cgi" etc.
Bruh i saw you on every glass review with the same comment
I was crying by the end of this movie
I feel bad for Joseph! Lost both parents.
the ending made me sad too i didnt expect all of them to die especially the horde
I also cried like a baby, but it was for something, a really good ending to the trilogy
Same :(
Why???
@@CZsWorld um question would u recommend this movie series to me also happy new year
The comic book that Elijah receives as a child has a yellow beast and a green wearing super hero fighting on the cover.
Kerry DiMaggio i noticed that as well
Proof that M. Night Shyamalan is a hidden genius
Holy shit
Sentry man vs jaguaro. Ive always wondered when in unbreakable Elijah mentions comics being a form of history retold and jazzed up that this comic - which seemed to predict the meeting of David Dunn and the beast - I wondered if it meant that maybe there's also a superhuman out there who could predict the future and they painted it and sold it as comics, because that comic came out decades before they met and its so symbolic of that event in glass and with that earlier monologue about a secret history....maybe the same person wrote the comic that Elijah was reading that showed the beasts attack on Casey. Maybe they had more evolved version of David's intuition ability.
@@DeclanCorey Well, It's because The Beast was supposed to be in Unbreakable before being cut because it was too much for one movie
Years from now, when everyone has finally realized the scope of what was created, it will be put in the masterpiece category. The end was fitting and tied up all the loose ends of each story while dangling a thread of what could become an eventual hero verse. M. Night certainly left that open while ensuring that he would not go back to these particular characters.
I noticed when we first see Elijah, I think he really is sedated, he's twitching his right eye, but every scene after that, his twitching is mirrored to the opposite side of his face. It was a good hint to me he'd been faking pretty quick. I'm in love with this trilogy, really love all the hints you can pick out, thanks for the awesome videos!
Katie McHenry no he was not sedated for quite a while, especially not when we first see him. He shows his stash of the pills they had been giving him, he had quite a lot
@@johnnybravo8129 I guess I assumed he dumped whole bottles in there, and that was why they found him by the meds in the hall. I only saw it once in theaters, I'm really curious to figure out the reason why he was out in the hall then.
Katie McHenry I only saw the movie once too but he was switching each pill with an Advil at the time they would give him his medication so each one of those pills in the wheelchair arm was stashed at separate times. He told the horde how he would just use sleight of hand every time he had to take his meds.
@@johnnybravo8129 Yeah, I did remember that thing about the slight of hand after I commented, whoops. I'm really curious and want to hear theories on the point of the scene where he's caught in the hall, right next to the meds. That little set of drawers and the paperwork is what nurses wheel around to pass out meds, so I assumed he was doped up so much that he couldnt rush back to his room, but smart enough to mess with the meds without getting caught. Now that doesn't really make sense, but the director is notorious for everything having a reason, so I wonder what that was all about.
Katie McHenry he was out in the hallway because he wanted the cameras to see him so that they would perform the surgery sooner and think he was lobotomized. You don’t remember Dr. staple wakes him up and then they inject him with the sedative and she tells him how she caught him on the camera sneaking out his room.
I want a Kevin Crumb action figure with inter-changeable heads for each one of his 24 personalities.
The figure should also come with a cool detail of 24 thoothbrushes in a little bucket.
I've honestly been thinking this since I watched the movie.
And the Luke head says exorcist quotes.
Omicron yasssss 🙌🏼
If there was a love reaction for RUclips comments, I would use it for that one
Anyone else loved Glass and doesn't care about the reviews
Only the critics are slamming it. Or you know, period that only watched split. Real people and those that saw unbreakable first, liked it.
I thought it was great
I absolutely loved it. I think the bad reviews helped it for me, my expectations were lowered. I didn’t read or see any spoilers so I was blown away.
F*ck yeah!
10,000 subs with no videos PLEASE. LOVED IT!!! Beautiful and poetic from beginning to end- the entire trilogy!
M. Night Shamalamadingdong made a pretty good movie.
hahahaha that's too fuckin funny lmao
Omg. I thought I was the only one that called him that!
If only he put this much effort into avatar the last airbender.
I've been calling him that since I was a kid and couldn't pronounce his name, that's so awesome
Agreed
The black clover is actually the Shamrock herb, native to Ireland, green though of course and taken by Irish St. Patrick as a symbol of the holy trinity. The Irish are also famous for their red hair...a feature of Dr. Staple. I would say the society is a Roman Catholic religious society that originated in Ireland, believing as you said that no gods should walk among us. This is the reason the number 3 is so common in the movie. The whole quest is symbolic of holy trinity vs. three superhumans.
I thought about the three leaves vs the fact that there are three heroes but then I had a vision of the comments telling me "this is a stretch" so I left it out. Guess I shouldn't have!
@Nicole Falvey Thank you very much :)
@@CZsWorld Really enjoy your smart observations. Waiting for more!
It's the IRA.
You saw that from another video
Did anybody notice at the end of this movie how when Elijah price is mother , Joseph and Casey are all in the train station in the background you can see a statue of an avenging angel... This is what mr. Glass calls the beast (AKA Kevin Wendell crumb)
The Clover Society's belief that the result of a superhero finding their opposite leading to disaster, is very similar to particle physics. Each particle has s corresponding antiparticle, which have equal masses but opposite charge, and when a particle collides with it's corresponding antiparticle, annihilation occurs, which releases energy. The point is, this is what the Clover Society fears most
I wanted to be mad at Ellie (and the organization) but I understood the point of view. I love that I had to think about it and I was like "that actually makes a lot of sense". Elijah ultimately wasn't intending to blow up that building but we can't forget he's a mass murderer. "Grounded" is a word thrown around a lot in describing this trilogy. The reason this group existed was grounded.
I wonder if they allow supers to live if they decide to stay out of the public eye. I felt it was unfair that they killed David the way they did. But the ending was going for realism so I can see why it ended up that way.
@@mish375 I don't think so. She said if they're not convinced the next step is, more or less, some sort of lobotomy (the machine). I felt at the end, because of what Ellie believed was the plan, she felt it was justified - one appears and then the opposite appears and it escalates to catastrophe. She believed they just evaded the murder of thousands of people. I've said this elsewhere, like with any organization in a movie, I feel there are more centrists people (well meaning but mission oriented) and more extreme people (evil). So if this was to go forward....
@@mish375 I think they let David go unnoticed for 20 years coz he did vigilante stuff and never went to "superheroic levels" once he and the beast are tossing soldiers around and flipping cars and bending steel they step in with the kill. Usually I think Dr staple tries to make the supers think they're just crazy but if they refuse she has to kill them
What about the ending where Joseph, Casey, and Miss Price wear the colors of their loved ones?
Maaan that was too obvious
Yesss. I loved it!
M. Night watching this video:
*THATS WHAT IM SAYING!*
The trilogy is pure class...the critics narrative is shameful to say the least☘️
Mr Production what movie did you see???!!! It was terrible!!! I suppose you liked "The Happening" as well...another turd.
T Bone How was it bad? I’d like to ask you what movie you watched also.
@@Tbone.357 And yet, somehow you found your way here. Why would you waste another 17 minutes of your life over a movie you thought was terrible? Credibility much
@@Joe-uj8vgthis movie was very bad and I was super excited about it. I had been wanting an unbreakable sequel since the first time I watched it and went through the roof when I saw the end of split. Left glass scratching my head because I didn't want to hate it, but yup... Bad, bad movie.
The beast's signature death grip is very similar to the constriction of a python 🤔
the more the person breathes out, the tighter the hold can get.... scary..
Except a python doens't break your bones
Crimson Avian z
The first comic book Prices mom gives him she says. This story has a twist ending. Extreme foreshadowing of 19 years!
This movie will have the Unbreakable 'effect'. People are going to be divided as they are now. Glass will have an intense following like Unbreakable did. The movie will fade and be talked about outside of mainstream circles and be appreciated for its artistic value. When it is no longer cliche or 'hip' to bash Shamaylan the movie will get the credit it deserves. I've stopped caring about critics with TFA. I hated that movie for it's lack of vision and still do, so I see no need to consult them to validate my opinion. Thank you for the analysis.
100%
TFA is great
@@elliotkouame3849 We disagree good sir, but I am glad you liked it.
I never understood why people need to learn other people's opinion to get their opinion. Just enjoy your own opinion and that's it. Sure you can learn from others from their critics, but ultimately who cares about some famous person's opinion.
I enjoyed tons of movies the critics hated, and hated a lot that critics adored.
@@JSB-2Z-2K Amen
Did anyone notice Mr Glass had a mg initial badge on ....I'm sure he didn't wear that in unbreakable movie
Probably a gift from his mom....or a fan!!
I wonder if there are any Black Clovers in Unbreakable or Split? Nobody was looking for those before. Also, did Osaka tower feel like a soft reference to Die Hard? I thought of Die Hard like immediately.
I find it ironic how the lady convinces David he doesn’t have super strength but when she talks to all three his arms are chained to the floor
My first thought when she started trying to make him doubt : "oh yeah ? Then why did you bother setting up that very complex water defense system in my room huh ?"
That's a writing weak point of the movie actually : because of that I never doubted for a second and I knew she was lying. I think to be really great Glass should have made us doubt with its characters. Still great on other aspects though.
@@AanoMakesMusic I think she only set up the water because David believed water was his weakness. It was a way of keeping him complacent if he started getting out of hand. If he didn't have powers, he would still believe the water water was weakening him.
@@elbrew2223 If he was a simple human, then keeping him enclosed in that room with such a high level of security would be enough to contain him. The only explanation for the presence of that water tank is that she knows he really has powers, and anyone would have deduced that she's full of shit. I wouldn't have been fooled.
@@AanoMakesMusic I suppose she could have explained it as not wanting him to hurt himself trying to get out, so she makes him believe he couldn't get out whether he has powers or not. but you have a good point.
I never had deeper thoughts about the water system. I did notice how David was the only one chained and not the beast, but for the beast they did have the flashing lights. But now that i think of it, even this is proof that they know how to contain his powers as well.
And the chains on David could have been simple hand and feet cuffs if he was just an ordinary man. Damn M. Knight is a genius
Glass was such an amazing movie and despite getting a lot of things that are mentioned in here I also missed some details such as the staples meaning. Amazing eyes you have.
This was perfect, you articulate the very things the critics miss or refuse to see! Love your stuff!!
Loved this analysis!! ! I like that there’s also a hint that David was bound to eventually get in the water tank because of the green cape it had on top, green being his color; just like in Unbreakable, when he was pushed into the pool. The colors are really bold in this movie and give you a lot of clues as well as the camera angles. In my opinion it was a great movie with an emotional ending, making you sympathize even for the villains, specially The Horde.
I don’t know if you’ll see this but you and this channel are a genius, this was one of the most more impressive videos I’ve watched, thanks for explaining what so much of us are just to lazy to see
Dude you F'n NAILED it bro. Seriously, I've been trying to analyze it since seeing it in theaters but without being able to watch it over and over like fifty times, all I see are the same details replaying in my head. Obviously I am able to watch the first two so I have been but without the third to bounce things off of, I'm not able to piece this stuff together. Thanks for the great video
Would of been awesome if it was revealed that Elijah’s mom was the real Palpatine mastermind the whole time and Elijah was just the apprentice
I went in the movie thinking the same thing, THAT is how it should've ended.
Well think back, her going thru and Elijah’s birth and then finding out his body was broken she became broken as well, they could of both been evil Geniuses and SHE actually came up with the terrorist idea of targeting the plane train and building to root out other “evolved” people no matter the # of sacrifices. THAT would of floored people esp if she grabbed David’s hand smiling and knowing he could see glimpses of wrong doings and uploaded all of them in flash backs to Unbroken, grooming Elijah like an apprentice since a kid to now
Nick Mattio THAT WOULDVE BEEN SO GOOD
Well she did plant the seed when she gave him that first comic book to get him outside. And she admits it in Glass too
Dragon ball z....
I like how they credited James McAvoy w/all the characters he played when the credits rolled.
There's an amazing article on Glass from the Hollywood Reporter. Anyone who hated Glass should totally read it.
sifat shams Can you be a little more specific? They've made multiple articles on Glass in the last few days.
@@jalenjohnson1662 The one titled Glass Was Always Building Toward This Ending by Richard Newby.
sifat shams Thank you
saw this movie an hour ago, looked up some videos about it, this one was posted an hour ago... cool! Fantastic videos.
The points about the clover / shamrocks and the tattoo in Unbreakable blew my mind. Brilliant.
just blazed through the whole series and LOVED it. subscribed
YES! Been checking my notifications all weekend for this one. THANKS CZ!!! 👍🏻😁👏🏻
Oh, by the way December 7th is in my calendar🎂😁
Enjoy!
I watched your Unbreakable and Split videos last week to help me get lined up for Glass. They were excellent. I too enjoyed this assessment and analysis of Glass. Just wanted to you excellent job. Nice editing, cut scenes, etc. Two Thumbs Up!
In conclusion, M. Night Shyamalan is a genius.
A couple other things I noticed when watching Glass is that a lot of the vernacular used throughout the film is "amazing", "fantastic", "marvelous". A lot of the same words used when describing superheroes ("The Amazing Spiderman, etc.")
Another thing I found interesting is that the date 1874 was used twice throughout the film, once when David Dunn is entering his own house and another time it's brought up by the psychologist. I'm not sure if this date has any specific relevance or not, it could be eluding to the date the first zoo in the U.S. opened (coincidentally the Philadelphia Zoo).
I'm sure there's more symbolism dispersed throughout the film but hats off to Shyamalan for a great film overall, the critics online are being too ridiculous lol.
My goodness. Just saw Glass a few hours ago. You summed it up beautifully.
Spoilers
I was devastated watching David get murdered. Maybe his death will trigger Joseph’s hidden abilities and become the Legacy of the Overseer
Joseph doesn't have powers, he gets beat up at school.
CZsWorld Yeah I know. I’m just thinking of different ideas. I enjoyed your video a lot
@@CZsWorld that's why he says triggered them see there past down and davids power's aren't that strong so it'd probably take awhile for his son's to bloom
@@jj56067 That's not how it worked for David though -- unless Joseph's powers are going to take after The Horde. I kind of like the fact that the powers aren't hereditary though.
@@CZsWorld well obviously but if the power's were hereditary david isn't that powerful so it would definitely work differently
I saw the movie yesterday omg I cried at the end like a baby.
I really enjoyed the movie. I have no idea why it’s rotten tomatoes 🍅 score is so low
Rotten Tomatoes is a part of The Clover Society.
They didn't understand the movie well i think, or the whole series for a fact. Most people just took all these movies at face value and were like, meeh, it sucks. When they missed a ton of clever stuff cover in this video for example
the last scene where elijah's mom holds both casey and joseth's hands was one of my favorite scenes.cz the way they were seated made it amost feel like she was their mother or god and that kinda represents elijah cz he was possibly David and kevin's god since he created them. This movie is absoulutly beautiful and by far my favorite movie of all time.
Your videos are amazing. You have great powers of perception and have a very thorough way of explaining your points. Thank you and keep on keepin on!
No one noticed that Kevin‘s dad was reading a D.I.D book well on the train. So does that mean Kevin’s dad already knew what his son had? That’s why he left? I’m surprised no one has mentioned this
Pred because it was explained in the movie......it wasn’t something no one noticed lmao David’s son clearly explains to the beast how Kevin’s dad didn’t just get on a train to never come back. He got on the train to go find a place where he could get his wife help. The D.I.D book was to show us that he cared and was trying to find help, instead he was killed in the train accident caused by mr glass. Then mr glass explains how if he never destroyed the train then Kevin’s dad would’ve never died and left Kevin behind with his psycho abusive mother thus leading to Kevin’s suffering creating the beast. It was explained in the movie so it’s not really considered something that one would miss
*Another Thing that we missed, At the end when **Mr.Glass** get punched in chest by the beast, you can hear a Breaking glass Sound.. that need to mean something*
It's pretty self explanatory
he's "mr glass " .like he's made of glass. I don't think there's any other meaning behind that specifically.
@@missrican90 Yea..you are right.
"Can we copystrike Mr. Glass's latest video?" lol, I lost it at that
I died of laughter when Kevin threw the table at the cheerleader
This vid is truly a great job! Thank you for it!!! But there was one more comics reference: the last time we saw TV screen with Osaka Tower, there were subtitles saying "D.C. pays respect" or smth. (Big fat reference to D.C. Comics !) OMG I just love it
I just watched this movie today and watched this immediately after. I love these videos so much!
Really liked your video on the The East Rail 177 trilogy. It is a brilliant trilogy, the connectivity is great some things obvious some things subtle.
Another amazing video dude keep up the good work loving it
It's interesting that Elijah's first comic was the Protector in green versus The Orange Beast with the caption "Limited Edition." But at the End of Glass Elijah told his mother "it's not a limited edition it's an origin story." This was his first ever comic and the origin of his belief. Craziness.....
that scene when u see mr glass as a kid at the theme park and he gets on that ride was actually a deleted scene from unbreakable and it was the scene that took the most amount of effort.
People have gotten used to Marvel movies and then something artistic comes out and people crap all over it. Great trilogy, one you can watch over and over again and still find something new. Now that's movie making!
*Great analysis vid again on this trilogy Mr. CZ!
Just got out of Mr. Glass...my 2nd viewing, and I really dig the film even more than my first watch - LOVE the score, loved the use of deleted scenes from Unbreakable, I think Kasey is "special" too (touching calmness is her power maybe?), loved the camera work, and my new fave revealed Team Horde member was Mr. Pritchard film history professor (specifically Japanese cinema 1950 to 1980 lol)...anyway I just really dug how this trilogy finished, it was in line with the world Unbreakable set-up way back when in 2000, it gave the audience some of the genre expectations having been "trained" via the SH genre film boom post Unbreakable, and the subversive choices M. Night used for this Mr. Glass Endgame story & the main characters worked well, and McAvoy is just so great as The Horde again!
nice breakdown,
wow ,everything is much clearer now ,you linked everything together ,thank you
Yo cz ur vids are amazing and keep making me watch more well done and keep it up
Hey man big fan of all your content and I add it to my calendar so I can wish you a happy birthday.
Great job man, please keep up the great job you do.. it's so inspiring to see a movie lover take time and produce a top notch video😎🎬
12:04 “that. I need you to buy that”....a clever subliminal message right when the third ad pops up on RUclips! I respect it!
I believe Glass was the actual protagonist of the story. The secret society was responsible for 10,000 years of genocide against gifted humans. Elijah sacraficed himself to save them. A true mastermind.
Did anyone notice in this video towards the end when young MR. Glass goes outside to get the comic. The comic shows a hero in green fighting a man that looks like a beast.
I would say that Mr. Glass's opposite is Dr.Staple. A staple is strong and resilient it binds things together. Glass fractures and severs it's delicate. Mr. Glass has the iconic part in his fro on his right and Dr.Staple has a part on her left.
She's dedicated to getting rid of superheroes he wants to make more of them.
When Joseph finds the comic that leads him to look into Kevin’s parents it’s called something like “The Whisperer” which I think is a nod to Dr. Staple.
16:47 The color scheme was foreshadowed in the first movie- David is green, Kevin is yellow and Elijah is purple. The comic book cover also hinted the final showdown between David and Kevin. Also the concept of a “limited edition” comic was mentioned several times in Glass.
I was tempted to talk about the color symbolism in this video but I figured it was well covered in my other two videos.
It wasn't a limited edition though... It was an original story... Think how Blackest Night introduced The White Lantern.
@@CZsWorld I have to disagree. You obviously get a lot of comments, so if you haven't seen any of mine, it's understandable. But in your other videos, you never discuss the importance of _red_ in these films. In the special features of _Unbreakable,_ Night didn't even _talk_ about the importance of purple and green other than to say that he wanted to stay away from primary colors being associated with the heroes. But he talks a LOT about red . . . and you _don't._ Moreover, let's consider the primary/secondary colors thing. Though there are exceptions (the Thing, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, The Spectre), most heroic characters - especially early ones have their costumes themed around primary colors (Superman, Captain Marvel, Captain America, The Angel (not the X-man . . . but the X-Men, too), The Atom. I could go on. Antiheroes (The Incredible Hulk comes immediately to mind) and villains often have their costumes designed around secondary colors. How many of Spider-man's rogues gallery wear green, or green and purple? Galactus. Lex Luthor, before the Byrne reboot. The Mandarin. Doctor Doom. The Joker.
Shyamalan deliberately chose to reverse this trope when he made his main characters be associated with secondary colors. You may say, "But Glass is a _villain!"_ True. But we didn't *_know_* he was a villain until the end of the movie. We were encouraged the whole time to think that he was the mentor. Now, along comes The Beast, and _his_ color is a _primary_ rather than a secondary. Night has reversed the chromatic trope completely. You don't go into that.
@@WakenerOne Good thinking -- I think I've subconsciously noticed that Green and Purple are somewhat unorthodox choices for the two main characters. It's very similar to how he chose unorthodox character archetypes for The Happening. You'd expect an action bulky hero and a busty girl in that type of film, and instead he uses a science teacher and while Zooey Deschanel is very lovely, she's more of the cute nerdy type.
I think there are other examples in his filmography where he deliberately went against the status quo.
@@CZsWorld Oh, absolutely! A clergyman as the main character in an alien invasion film??? A film where the town leaders openly admit several times that they are cowards, and it's the next generation who shows the courage that the elders wish they had (not to mention it being a film wherein *every* young person, _without exception, _*_always_* shows proper respect for his or her elders?!?!?) Pretty much *everything* about _The Sixth Sense!_ Night lives outside the box.
Good job bro.. Enjoyed the vid
Loved how you broke that down! Liked and Subscribed 👌🏾💯
I watched both Unbreakable and Split a day before going to the movies. Excellent conclusion. But I have to ask, dude, where did you get your T-shirt?
There were elements in 'Glass' that came from other films:
'Die Hard' starring Bruce Willis as John McClane a police officer (guardian) running around with no shirt and shoes, hiding in the ceiling dropping down to kill, like the beast. He even spends time talking to himself throughout the film like the horde. The final battle takes place on top of Nakatomi Plaza, a fictional location in L.A. but it is a real research center located in Osaka Japan. The final battle in 'Glass' was to take place on top of the Osaka tower a fictional location in Philadelphia.
I noticed other things like recreated shots from 'The Sixth Sense' in 'Split' and 'Glass'.
That shirt is everything. Where did you buy it?
very good analysis
i loved it man
I just watched Glass yesterday and really liked it. I have been watching all the "things you missed" videos. One thing I noticed, that no one else has pointed out is in the need for David and Kevin's "kryptonites" in the mental hospital. If they truly believed David was a normal human being, the need for the water jets and the steel door was completely unnecessary. A normal human being wouldnt be able to escape their room. The same goes for the lights in Kevin's room. What doesnt make sense, is the fact they knew the lights could suppress The Beast, yet they didnt feel it necessary for a steel door, just in case.
It’s cool that David’s stuffed animals in the tilt o’ whirl looks like the same colors as the beast was wearing, when he was trying to protect him in the basement of the hospital.
I wonder if their will be more superhero/villain movies by M. Night, considering Glass was explaining to Patricia the concept of the strongman being from the 1930s. Surely he didn't know he was a super, but a freak instead, and just maybe by Elijah reavealing them to the world for the first time sets perspective for DDs character and lots more characters to come.
Your raining background is LEGIT!!!!!!!
I only watched split, haven't seen unbreakable, and glass yet. But this video intrigue me.
You did an awesome job with these three movies! Subbed and liked!
In the comic book store when it shows ‘villains’ a purple and green light is shown. Purple is for Elijah but green is for David. The green light is just to the side of this shot which could imply that, whilst he doesn’t see himself as a villain, perhaps others do?
I don't understand how this movie got bad reviews, it is really good and a great ending to the trilogy. I loved it.
This movie gets better when you actually think about it. I had to see it a second time and it was a much better viewing experience. As usual, Shyalaman put more thought into this then I could understand upfront.
Always enjoy your videos.
As David walks into his apartment and turns on the tv it starts talking about the new opening of the tower. Another foreshadowing for later of glasses false plans for the tower
You missed something. When Dr Staple introduces herself to David, she talks about how her expertise is dealing with people that believe themselves to be super human. She says "it is a growing field." This says that the Black Clover organization is expanding through several universities.
There's the use of colours for each of the 3 main characters. NOTE: Elijah is represented by the colour PURPLE. In the flashbacks and in the past movies, for example when a young Elijah opens up the comic book , it's wrapped in purple. When Elijah is older he's always in some shade of purple. Even in the room where all 3 are gathered for their 'psychiatric' evaluation, Elijah is wrapped in a purple blanket, he's also the VILLAIN. When David's son enters the comic book store, notice in the back of the that VILLAINS are highlighted in PURPLE. Where as the HERO'S are GREEN. When we see David character going out and doing his vigilante justice he's always wearing a GREEN raincoat. When him and his son (the character who played his son was brought back from UNBREAKABLE) when they are working they are always wearing GREEN. As if to say we're the good guys. When all 3 are gathered for their 'psychiatric' evaluation, David's wearing a worn out Green garments. Another foreshadow, that David's time is near. Also, note in the flashback, when young Elijah opens up his comic book from its purple wrapping on the cover you see the HERO and the animal like creature on the cover. This is a reference to David in GREEN the HERO and BEAST in ORANGE. Just like KEVIN and the HORDE. This is also a reference to the real life story that Elijah will soon find himself in, a clever piece of foreshadowing. As for the HORDE, because of his animalistic and BEAST like alter ego, he's always represented by a ORANGE colour. Note in the movie SPLIT, how most of the time he was surrounded by yellow and orange haze of the lights. Also, wore some shade of ORANGE clothing. When ever you see his character he always has some shade of ORANGE on his clothing. Note when the 3 are gathered for their 'psychiatric' evaluation Kevin and the HORDE are dressed in ORANGEY-YELLOW garments. Who knew that COLOURS have so much symbolic meanings in movies? 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😆
In the scene where Dr. Staple has a group therapy with Elijah, Kevin, and David, each in their signature colors, she is wearing PINK, and the entire room they are meeting in is bathed in PINK light, suggesting that the three men are under her power.
She has two colours, pink and a pale blue and she often blends in with the background. A hint that she's her motives are camouflaged?
REALLY GOOD VID, I VERY MUCH ENJOYED!
The success of a movie/moviemaker...is not the numbers it make in box office....it’s all about challenging viewers mind....people have discussed...still discussing..and will discuss abt it for years to come.....that’s the achievement for a true filmmaker...
After seeing the movie again last night, that bit where you mentioned the allies graffiti, the window on the building also has "END" on it. I missed this cause i was looking at david the first time haha
The three leaf clover could be interpreted as the Clubs Sign in the Deck of Cards. The Clubs represents the sign for war, and because there are three leaf in a Clover Leaf, it represents Mr. Glass, Unbreakable, and split going to war with each other to the end.
💓 your Mr Glass shirt !!!
“Can we copy strike MR. GLASS latest video” I lost it 😂😂👏👏
plus i love that peoples 1st introduction to superheroes in the real world is footage of a man lifting a car over his head. parallels 1st issue of action comics that introduced Superman to the world. has him lifting a car over his head
The inspiration of the movie is so real!! we are all gods, but the illus don't want us to know it... but I'm pretty sure their end is near. That's for me the best part!
Wow you pointed out some things that no one else did! *subscribe* I love this movie!
